Words Left Unspoken
Chapter 21
Collin's POV
I had
just kissed Lauren and everything seemed okay, but she stared to
shake and my stomach lunged. I started to whisper "Laur,
Lauren baby, it's okay." And I pulled her into a
frontwards position so she wouldnt choke. I felt tears slide down
my warm cheeks as I held Lauren's jerking body. After about 5
minutes she stopped and I felt her breathing calm down. I flipped
her back into the seat and looked into her eyes,
"Collin.." She whispered and I nodded my head as she
went on, "I want it to stop. Promise me it'll stop"
I felt my heart stop, "I cant" I muttered, my voice
cracking. And Lauren's eyes grew big and teared up,
"Collin, promise I will be safe." I felt my tears fall
faster, "I promise I'll keep you safe Lauren. I
promise." And she threw herself into my arms, "I want
it to stop." I cried with her for a long time until I
finally found the will to drive to the pharmacy, to pick up
Lauren's prescription. After that, home. To my home. I had
told Lauren that I was kicked out because of Football, but that
was only part of the story, my dad had noticed my grades dropping
and told me quote on quote, "Son, you will stop seeing
Lauren's dead body and study. Or you will move out and live
for your own rules. I will not house a failure." It had
broken my heart, and I moved out, I couldn't give up on
Lauren, I was all she had left, no matter she had hated me or
not. I kept going to school and such, and I improved my grades,
knowing I would need the education. I visited Lauren everyday
after school and talked to her, asking her for help with Math,
like I had all those times at the library. She never actually
talked back, but it was like I could hear her.. Everyday before I
whispered, "I love you." hoping she would somehow hear
me too.. I bought myself an apartment, it was a nice one too, it
was right along the ocean, beautiful view, and cheap too. I was
going along fine, except for.. Lauren, with out her around,
everything was awful, and dull. It wasnt until one day when Nick
and his girlfriend left together and I flashed back the memory,
"She's perfect for you." It wsant until that day, I
finally realized I needed her. I drummed my fingers on the
steering wheel as my brain dazed in and out of the memories..
When I finally pulled into the driveway Lauren was asleep. This
may sound odd, but when she acts silly, or when she's
sleeping or even when she's seisuring, she is the most
beautiful person I have ever met. I smiled at her and quietly
opened the car door. I carried the boxes into the building,
coming back frequently to check on Lauren. When I finally carried
the last box in, I came back out for Lauren. I lifted her gently
out of the car and silently closed the door. I walked up to the
already opened door and carried her to a small room, setting her
gently on the bed. I made sure she was on her side, so she
wouldnt choke if she did happen to have a seisure. I left the
door open just in case too. I walked into the kitchen and looked
around. My Baskin Robins shirt was drapped over a chair, but
other than that, the house was fairly clean. I enter the cooking
area and started to make dinner, which consisted of Mac n"
Cheese, which I knew was Lauren's favorite. I walked to the
table and picked up her capsle of pills, which I had recently got
from Walgreens. It said 2 a day, and the doctor told me she had
had one this morning. I set them in the cabinent, next to the
pills I had to take for my cuncussion, but they were almost out,
and after I finished them, I didnt have to take more unless
prescribed. I twisted the cap and shook two out into the palm of
my hand. I took them silently and walk back over to the stove.
Maybe 10 minutes later Lauren walked quietly into the kitchen,
"Hey sleepy head." I said through a laugh and she
smiled, "Yeah, I was tired alright.. even though.. I've
been sleeping for 3 months.." She started to laugh and I
smiled, "I missed your laugh." She blushed and sat down
at the counter across from the stove, "Collin how was
it..?" I frowned, "How was what?" She cleared her
throat and asked again,
"Why did you wait for me?"
