Chapter 5A Chapter by KiaraSunshine poured in through the
window. The curtains had been drawn
back, allowing the light to awaken me.
My eyes opened drowsily and underneath me was a boy. The room was unfamiliar, and I felt
disoriented. Memories came rushing back with a
painful force. Sophie was gone, and she
wasn’t coming back. I no longer cared
who the boy was, or where I was. I just
wanted Sophie. Tears stung my eyes and I
sobbed silently, hoping I wouldn’t wake the boy. I lost control of my tears and started
screaming as I curled up into a ball. I
didn’t care if the boy woke up. Sophie
never would. “Kairi, Kairi. Shh.
It’s okay.” Lucas tried to calm
me down even though he had just woken up.
“Don’t cry, everything’s okay. I
promise.” He broke that promise before
he even said it. Nothing was okay. Sophie was gone, and there was nothing I
could do about it. “Kairi, listen. It really is okay.” He tried to speak over my screams without
yelling. “No, she’s gone forever!” I cried out with despair flowing through my
veins and lungs. It felt like a snake
was squeezing what little life I had left out of my melancholy, empty heart. My shouting and sobbing began to decrease in
volume as a headache filled my head and my eyes stung from the tears. I didn’t want to stop crying. I never wanted to let the pain take over. “Shh. Kairi, it’s okay. Shhh,” Lucas soothed gently. “You must be tired, you only slept three
hours since… Um… Well, you must be really tired, and hungry. Do you want to try to get some more rest, or
grab something to eat?” His offer was
sweet, but I just wanted to sit here and mourn for my dear Sophie. Lucas thought that since I was
crying, I couldn’t sleep. I wondered how
he couldn’t tell that I couldn’t eat either.
“Okay, let’s go down to the lobby and see if they have breakfast set
up.” With that, he took my hand and led
me out the door. © 2012 Kiara |
