Read Between The Lines
Continued Prologue - Sophie P.O.V
Bright lights shone through the window and for a second I thought I was in heaven. But of course the tug on my hand that announced Drew is waking up made me realize I was still alive.
"I'm so sorry Sophie. If I knew you'd get hurt I would've never insisted you to dive. Please forgive me. I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you. I was so scared. I thought I lost you forever. Em-" I stopped him mid speech with a hug. I pulled back a little and consoled him.
"Drew, there's nothing to be sorry about. If I could do it again, I would. It was the best time of my life. How long have I been here anyway?"
"About twenty four hours now."
I didn't even realize how close I was to him until I was staring directly at his eyes. I've always loved his eyes. With the right shirt, it would look a pretty sea green color. And when he's sad they would show up as the truest blue. I've never failed to be amazed at its beauty.
Sitting here so close to him I can't help but feel things I shouldn't. I have a boyfriend of course and this is not what girls with a boyfriend should do. But it felt so right being this close to him. Sparks ignited in my stomach and my heart felt like it was running a marathon. Just a couple inch and our lips would touch. Drew closed his eyes and leaned in.
I couldn't help but back away. "Hey Drew, when are they letting me out again? Since school starts tomorrow and all, it wouldn't look good if I miss the first day" I said a little loud nervously.
He opened his eyes instantly and I know the moment was gone. I didn't know it was possible to feel relief and disappointment at the same time.
"Oh, I'm not sure. I'll get the doctor so he can check on you then we'll know," He replied to me then walked awkwardly out of the room with his head down.
Merely seconds later I heard a knock on my room and I was surprised Drew was this fast. It wasn't Drew after all. It was my boyfriend and bestfriend, Eric and Rachel.
"Sophie! I'm so glad you're okay! When your maid called me I was so worried so right after she hung up I told Eric and we planned to come here to see you," Rachel rambled on and on.
Eric walked over and planted a kiss on my cheeks. I couldn't help but noticed he smelled a little different. It wasn't the usual cologne he wore. This smelled way more feminine. I could've sworn as he leaned in that there was a hickey on his neck and a hint of red on his lips. But maybe it's just the after effect of the dive. Maybe it just messed up my sense a little.
They started talking about their day and how excited they are for school to start. Eric is on the football team and Rachel is a co captain of the cheerleading team. Dr. Jamison walked in and shooed Eric and Rachel outside. She quickly checked me to see if I was okay and then told me I was ready to leave. I said thank you to her but she just looked at me with sorrowful eyes and left.
I called Susie and she came to pick me up. People call her my maid. But I see her as family. Since she was the only one who actually stayed with me for most of the day. Until now I didn't realize Drew never came back to say bye to me. Maybe he had an emergency. I didn't let it bother me. I took a long bath and then slowly fell asleep on the sofa. Tomorrow's just another beginning. The beginning of my Junior year. Perfect. Everything is perfect. I drifted to sleep with pleasant thoughts that I hoped would stay and not get replaced by nightmares.
