2 Sarah (1/2)
”Thank God you woke up,” Robert said. His cerulean eyes were filled with desperation as he touched frantically his obsidian hair.
”You should be thanking him, he saved you and took you to the infirmary,” Hayley said. Why was she here? I did not need her near me, I wanted to be gone, if only my muscles obeyed my request.
”Thanks, Rob,” I said, as I felt my head spinning whenever I tried to move.
”What happened? I never saw you distressed in water,” he said.
”I don't know,” if I told him the truth it would have resulted mental in his eyes, to see such an illusion.
Rob gently kissed me on the forehead and whispered, ”I'll see you at home.”
”Sure,” I said, nodding slightly.
As Rob went outside, I noticed Hayley glancing at me. Why was she still here? She was the last person I wanted to be with, everything that happened these last few months was mainly her fault.
”I'm deeply sorry,” she whispered.
I pinched my cheek, as I was in disbelief how such simple words came out of her mouth.
”For what?” I asked.
”For everything I did, for our dumb fights, because I made you quit the swimming team and took the captain spot you deserved.”
”You also forgot about telling everyone lies about me, I could make a list for you.”
”I know, and I deserve everything you'll want to do to me.”
”I just want you gone.”
”I didn't know what was happening to you,” she said.
”Yes, you didn't know, but if you cared enough you would have stayed by my side.”
”Precisely for what? My best friend didn't bother to tell me whether her mother was dying.”
”My mother isn't dying, she has cancer. A lot of people survive.”
”Robert told me-”
”Rob told you wrong!” I yelled.
”If you need me, I'll be with the swimming team.”
