PRESENT
Kaiden walked into the hospital, the room already familiar to him... he need not ask for directions cos he's been coming here for the past three months, patiently waiting for her to wake up. she's been in coma for three months since the accident. the doctor said they don't know if she's going to wake up, not 'when' but 'if'.
He walked into the room towards her bed. He watched her sleeping body, her even breathing, and the beeping machine.
"When are you gonna wake up baby?" a question he asked everyday knowing he's not gonna get any response but still hopes. he caresses her hand as he watches her eyes for any movement.
"I miss you,,, I miss... Us" he said as he interlocks their fingers. "Open your eyes already, come back to me noodles" His voice cracks as he blink back his tears. He smiles sadly, knowing if she was awake she would have smacked him for calling her noodles.
"Hey, kiddo" said a sleeping man lying on the couch from across the room whom Kaiden didn't notice, his voice husky from sleeping.
"Hi Zach, didn't see you there" Kaiden said acknowledging him for the first time today.
"Yeah... any progress?" Zach said pointing towards the sleeping girl while stretching.
"No" he replied simply.
"Kiddo, I think you should go, she wouldn't want you skipping classes because of her or failing tests... so off to school will you" Zach said patting Kaiden's shoulder before sitting besides his daughter's bed.
Kaiden nods while standing up. He bent a little, giving her a kiss on her forehead, like he always does before walking out.
"I'll be back after school, any progress do inform me, please" He said at the door. the older man nods.
"Kaiden" Zach called. Kaiden halt before turning his head a little.
"Allison... she's gonna wake up, I know that and don't give up. Keep on being patient and loving her. she's a strong girl, so she's gonna wake up" Zach said, more like reassuring himself.
"I know she will " Kaiden replied before walking out. He walked towards the red sport car in the driveway, unlocked the door the got in, he ignite the gear, making the car roar to life then drive out and towards the highway leading to their school. Braxton High School, a school in which influencer children from rich homes goes to.
The school is the richest and the best in LA. with students with high IQ and outstanding results. Painted in royal blue and Cream color, with trees and flowers decorating the entrance and the surroundings of the school, it's has a garden where students goes to relax. It's also nicknamed 'Love garden' by the students.
Kaiden drove into the school and parks his car in the school garage, knowing he has missed a class already, not like he cares though but Allison won't be happy if he skips another, so he head towards his next class which is Economics. He passed through the hallway which is empty and turns left before climbing upstairs to the Economics class. He walked inside not minding the teacher standing in the class.
"You're late Mr Torres" Mrs Amar the Economics teacher said.
"Sorry" His response not audible enough but she still heard it. "Settle down in your seat" She said facing the board and scribbling something on it.
He walked past Hilda, Allison's best friend who gave him a look which says 'any progress yet?', he shook his head in response before settling on his seat and taking out his Economics text book. As the teacher proceed in teaching, Kaiden mind wander off to the first time he met Allison, they didn't start off on the right foot but now they're madly in love... She was a pain in the ass... and weird, but he loves her that way, he loves whatever pain she brings. All through the class his mind was filled with Allison, he couldn't concentrate on anything the teacher was saying until a bang on the table jolt him out of his thoughts. He looks up and saw his best friends standing there with an amused look.
"Earth to Kaiden, what route did you take this time? " Finn said chewing bubble gum. Kaiden rolled his eyes at him.
"what time is it?" He asked before checking his wrist watch.
"Time for food, c'mon buddy I'm hungry, class ended five minutes ago" Ryker said yawning. It was Finn's turn to roll his eyes.
"what? A man's got to eat" Ryker said in defense.
"Not your type of man a$$hole" Finn mocks.
"Oh you wanna see man, huh? I'll show you man you doodle" Ryker said feigning annoyance while dragging his long sleeves upward.
"I ain't got no time for you weirdos, meet me in the cafeteria when you're done with your drama" Kaiden said walking out the door and towards the cafeteria. The boys followed soon with Ryker chasing after Finn, who was also running.
"Any improvement on Allison? or who pushed her?" Finn asked getting serious.
"No, I think the bridge CCTV has been hacked and messed with, it didn't show anything from the incident and Allison hasn't woken up yet" Kaiden replied while entering the cafeteria. He walked to an empty table close to the wall and far from the other students. They all sat down and ordered some food.
"The Witness statement said it was some high school students that pushed her off that bridge, but she can't recognize them" Ryker whispered to his friends while the school waitress set their order on the table. Kaiden winced at the word pushed, imagining Allison being pushed was the worst thing ever...
"That's a plus on this case, whoever did that to Allison must be a student in this school, we just have to find out who" Finn said with chips in his mouth. his mind trying to guess who it could be.
"Hey guys" Hilda greeted while she sat down on an empty seat across Ryker while her twin sister Matilda sat down beside Finn. The twins are Allison's best friends.
"Hey there pretty ladies" Ryker greeted back before going back to munching on his samosa. Finn smiled at them and waved while Kaiden nods in acknowledgement. The girls ordered for food also.
"Dad said someone of influence is backing the culprit, because the CCTV cameras surrounding the bridge was hacked" Hilda said while typing something on her phone.
"Yeah, I wonder who would wanna hurt a sweet person like Allison" Matilda said.
"Nope, Allison ain't sweet, that girl is the devil incarnate, remember when she sets my trouser on fire? that ain't sweet at all" Ryker said shuddering at the memory. The rest burst into laughter except for Kaiden who smiled.
"You puff that smoke in her face, Allison hates smokes from cigarettes or any kind, well you should know now that Allison can be crazy sometimes, so that next time you won't get your ass burnt" Matilda fired at him while the rest laughed. Ryker frowned.
"That was my favorite trouser, I had to go get a new school trouser... she did make her point though " He smiled.
Kaiden smiled. of course his girlfriend was a little devil, one wouldn't know for she has an angelic face which will make you let her off for murder even. Allison, the memories are here but she's not.
"Whoever the Culprit is, must pay... no one hurts my Allie and go unpunished" Kaiden said with gritted teeth, his eyes darkening with anger. And he meant it.
PAST...🐝
"Allison!!!" a screeching sound was heard as Allison groaned into her pillow.
Whoever it was that spoilt her morning sleep was going to get it from her. oh, morning sleep, how she loves morning sleep so much. A knock was heard before her door was flung open and someone came marching towards her bed and before dragging the blanket off her body.
"young woman, you better get up from that bed or I'll spank you so bad that you'll pee on your body" the voice threatened.
"No mum, I wanna sleep more" Allison whines, still trying to reach for the blanket with sleepy eyes.
"Jesus Christ Allison, it's our first day at school after summer break and you're gonna get us late, it's 7:30 already, Matilda is already waiting outside and you know my sister can be a pain in the ass when she's late to school" the voice said, dragging the blanket further away, as on cue Matilda hits the car horn loudly.
"Oh my gosh, school,,, I have school,,, senior year,,, Fu¢k!" Allison screamed and quickly get up and rushed into the bathroom.
"Language missy" Hilda yelled as she sat on the bed.
Allison rolled her eyes, she quickly brush her teeth and bathe, not bothering to wash her hair. She washed it on Saturday anyway. She quickly dried her body and wore some underwear before putting on her school uniform which are royal blue skirt that stops above her knees a little, white long sleeve shirt, a black tie, a knee length black socks and a royal blue jacket which she hardly wears. She brushed her blonde hair a little and apply a quick mascara on her eyelashes and a put on a lips balm. Yup, a girl should look beautiful even without a boyfriend.
"c'mon already, miss universe let's go " Hilda says as she walks out the door and head downstairs, Allison followed soon after grabbing her backpack and phone.
"Good morning Allison Dad" Allison greeted her father who was setting the table with freshly baked pancakes and maple syrup. She went over and pecked his cheeks.
"Good morning Allison Dad's daughter" Her father greeted back smiling.
Hilda rolled her eyes before taking a seat beside Matilda, who's already inside.
"Good morning Mr Wayne" She greeted and he acknowledged with a nod before going back to the kitchen.
"Where are you girls going this early?" Mr Wayne asked while dropping the last dish on the table and taking a seat.
"School Dad,,, c'mon Hilda, Matilda let's go, we're gonna be late" Allison said but the girls shook their heads holding back their laugh, Mr Wayne chuckled, knowing the girls tricked Allison... again.
Allison looked at them confused before it clicked. They tricked her. She looked at the clock, six minutes to seven. She bit back her scream. They fu¢king pranked her out of her sweet morning sleep.
"You a$$holes are so..."
"Language young lady" the trio said in unison making Allison pout sadly.
"Not fair" She whines before taking a seat and start eating some pancakes
"One has to be early on their first day of school, mostly if it's your last year in highschool" Matilda said chewing on her pancakes with a naughty smile.
"And knowing you, Allison, You'll rather eat rat meat than go to school early " Hilda says, Allison scrunch her nose in disgust. Reason why she doesn't want twins, either as siblings or children...
They're witches!
Not that she isn't a headache herself but she doesn't want them. Nope, never. Allison shudders.
"Well thanks for waking me up from my beauty sleep, it was so nice of you guys... I hope you'll be thanking me also today" Allison smiled sweetly at them, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Yup, they both know she's gonna get back at them.
"Just don't cause any trouble between you and the sheriff, I wouldn't want to be called for murder case" Mr Wayne said standing up.
"so supportive dad" Allison replied sarcastically.
