❤Kayla’s POV❤

Move??
But what about Melvin? What about the curse?
How can this come up now, just how?!
My face twitch to a blank expression at that moment as I left it gazing at mom..
“It has always been your wish, right? So since I resigned from work, I also thought I should bring that wish to pass, I mean what else will I be doing here anyways?” She asked, giving me a smile..
“Oh..um.. T-that’s really good!” I said, giving her a lopsided smile.
“Why honey, you don’t look too happy about it.. This isn’t what I expected” she said.
“Oh..I am. I’m just..well, a bit shocked that’s all” I said and she smiled.
“I know, right?” She said and I nodded, glancing away.
“But mom.. Don’t you think you’re being a little too fast with that movement decision? I mean dad’s still at the hospital and I have about a few months left to finish up with high school, can’t you just give it a little more time?” I asked and mom gave me a frown before laughing shortly.
“If you’re concerned about your school then don’t be, you’ve never liked that school anyway, you’ll get to attend a more better school in a very nice city. It’ll be a wh0le new life for us, just like you wanted!” She enthused and I faked an excited look.
“Well..that’s great..but what about dad?” I asked and noticed mom face fell.. She looked at me, parked the car at a corner and took my palm in hers.
“Honey, your father will have to be removed from the hospital and-
“Removed? To where and why?” I asked, my heart beating in fear..
Is he dead?!
“The hospital can’t accommodate him anymore, He’s been there for way too long and they can’t take it anymore.. They want to disconnect all life support machines from him and leave him to rest”
“Leave him to rest? But dad isn’t dead, mom. He’s just in coma-
“For the past five years, Kay! That isn’t living.. Leaving him in there for another day is just putting him into more pains, he deserves to rest” she said.
“But he isn’t dead.. How can they want to let him rest when he’s not dead?! Dad is alive, mom! I know you probably dislike him now but we both know that deep down, He’s alive and still struggling to live!”
“Struggling for something for five years is already lost.. Your dad isn’t alive, Kay. He’s just not completely dead yet and if we keep him there we’re simply extending his sorrow. This isn’t about me disliking me or anything but I’m sure this is what your dad would want! I’m sure he’s tired of staying in that position any longer! We just have to help him by giving him the rest that he deserves” she said. “Leaving him in the hospital won’t change anything-
“Mom please! I beg you.. Just give it a little more time, that’s what I want.. Hopefully, before then we would have found a way and dad would live, please mom!” I said, tears building up in my eyes..
What if there’s still time to save him? What if we finally get rid of this curse and save dad?!
“Kayla-
“Mom please! A little time is what I ask.. Please mom! Just a little more time, please!” I please, clasping my palm together. “I do understand that this might probably be good for dad but I don’t want him to go completely, just yet.. Please let him stay for a only a little more time!” I begged.
“Honey, this isn’t my decision to make, the establishment already made their decision”
“Which you can change, mom! We both know you can do something to make them agree to keep dad for just a little more time! You can change their minds, mom, please!” I said and mom gave me a long uncertain stare before sighing.
“Okay, fine.. I’ll give it a try but I don’t think they’ll extend three months!” She said.
“Yes.. Of course. That’s fine. Thank you so much, mom!” I said, giving her a hug..
I heard her sigh from behind me before hugging me back.
“You’re welcome, baby”.
I sniffed and mom started the car again.
She completed the ride to school, pecked my both cheeks and wished me a good day at school.
I hopped down, waved her bye and walked into the school building.
“Hey Kay!” Melvin waved at me with a smile after I reached out seats.
“Hi” I waved back, leaving my books on the table.
After a few talks, the days work began.
*
“Good-day class!” The teacher packed her books and walked out and almost immediately the class sprung into noise.
Melvin sighed in relief as he closed his book, it was few minutes to break period and everyone was obviously doing other things while awaiting the bell.
I closed my book and turned to leave it in my desk locker when I felt presence with us but I didn’t bother looking up..
“Hi Melvin?” I heard the thin voice that was obviously from a girl, flirty and familiar.
“Hey, it’s you again!” Melvin replied.
“Yup and I’m so glad you remember me!” She said in ecstasy, I took a peek at her face and almost grumbled..
The girl from the cafeteria the other day, the one with the over bleached pink hair that had invited Melvin to her beach party and had taken back the invitation cos of me..
No exaggeration but her pink her obviously looked over-bleached.
And oh.. Her companion was right beside her, with her pen and pad, obviously ticking and un-ticking names.
“Anyways, I’m here to give you back your invitation to my family’s beach party. I realized, I really needed you at that party!” She enthused.
“Seriously?!” Melvin squealed happily. “We can come?” He asked..
Um..we?
“We? Who is- oh she?” She asked and when I looked at her, I realised her gaze was irritatingly on me as she folded her arm across her chest, popping her b-obs up.
Melvin nodded, staring at the invitation in his palm..
“Really, I get that she’s your girlfriend but it’s just for two and a half day, she won’t die if she doesn’t see you for that short time!” She said. “She can’t be that obsessed with you that she want to tag along with you everywhere and everytime, it’s enough that she’s sticking around you in school and probably at home, two days+ won’t give her horns!” She said..
Okay.. That was offensive..
“We’re together cos we have to be, it’s important that we go literally everywhere together and I can’t attend this party if Kayla isn’t going to be there with me. Sorry but that’s just it!” Melvin said, dropping the card on the table and pushing it towards her.
“Ugh.. So much for a nosy girlfriend,” she grumbled and turned to me, knocking the table until I looked at her.
“Look, I’m not trying to steal your boyfriend, okay but I really just want only him at my party! Truth is, I don’t hang around with geeks and I clearly don’t want one at my party so.. Will you let Melvin come alone?” She asked, with her authoritative tone and I couldn’t detect if she was requesting or demanding.
“Well..um, I don’t think that’s something I should decide-
“You’re his girlfriend and he clearly won’t come unless you tell him to !” She said, raising her voice and as I looked around, I found attentions drawn to our table.
I sighed, almost biting my lip until they bleed..
I gave her a straight look.
“Okay, first.. Melvin isn’t my boyfriend-
I had barely completed my sentence before I heard gasps flying across the room, directed at us..
Wait.. They all thought Melvin was my boyfriend?!
