Chapter 10
SPOV
The time went by so fast, my dad kept calling to check on me and let me know about how packing was going.
He also told me the specific time Avi should be visiting after school…
After I hung up, I started crying.
My tears came so quickly that there was no chance for me to stop them.
How could I tell him I'm leaving?!
He will be crushed!
I will miss him so much…
The door opened rather slowly, I quickly looked at the clock, "hey Stacia" his voice filled the empty room.
I wiped away my tears and faced him, "Avi, how nice to…what the hell happened to your face?"
"I know it looks bad" he said coming toward me.
I got up out of bed as quickly as possible and almost ran to him; "Avi, what happened?" I asked.
"A fight at school is all" he explained.
His lip was really busted as well as his right eyebrow. His nose was probably plugged up earlier because some dried blood still sat on his upper lip.
There was still a little red tint in his beard as well.
"What? So they attacked you, right?" I said hopeful.
He grimaced and held my waist, "No, Stacia…I started it…but he finished it".
I guess my face read as confused because he started explaining.
Apparently, some kid in choir said something about me and it pissed Avi off.
I hugged him, "Are you ok?" I asked.
He smiled a bit, "Yeah, I'm fine".
He looked over at my bed and saw the tissues strewn about.
"Stash, are you ok?" he asked me. He knitted his eyebrows in such a way that the dried blood creased.
"No…" I said; that's when it all came bursting out.
Tears wet my face once again and i buried my face in his shoulder.
His hands came up to the middle of my back then to my arms.
His strength was too much, he got me far enough so he could see me.
Avi frowned, "What happened babe?"
I shook my head, "it's over, they're giving up on me" I sobbed.
He looked at me closer, "who?"
"the hospital Avi, they are sending me to Boston tomorrow for 'better care'" I choked.
I saw tears come to his eyes as well and he blinked them away.
We shared a long embrace before speaking again.
I could feel his breathing get shallow, "Avi, I'm sorry" I said in a whisper.
"Don't be, it's not your fault" he reassured me. The problem was, it was completely my fault.
I'm the one who can't remember…
