I laid in the hospital bed trying to ignore my throbbing arm. The tv only provided three channels. The news, sports, and a Spanish soap opera. I sighed. The surgery was supposed to be today but some politician had taken my spot. And what’s a fractured arm compared to a heart failure? At least they gave me worker’s comp. As if the job wasn’t already killing my brain cells.

Laughter echoed throug...

Maven had made arrangements with my parents to have an extra room for Kile at home. And though my parents normally had work and could barely see me, they were there to welcome us both. I knock on the front door and it swings open.

“Cora! Oh my gosh we’ve missed you!” My mom swept me into a tight hug and I smiled. I never got to see them much so it was nice to get this reaction. Once my mom finish...

When we got on the dance floor they had already changed the song to a slow dance. I slowly put my arms around Kiles neck, nervous I didn’t know what I was doing. But then, Kile put his hands on my hips pulling me a bit closer. He smiled softly and I do the same.

“I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful you look right now.” He says looking in my eyes and my breath hitches.

“Thank you.” I say in...

They said their vows. Which struck my heart and I felt warm. I peeked over at Kile and caught him looking at me, but he didn’t look away. Instead, he smiled and just stared at me. I grinned back, blushing some more, and I looked to Amelia and Maven.

“With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Maven pulled her in by her waist and dipped her into ...

I told her about the days leading up to our like official moment. I kept out the parts of my panicking and breakdowns because this was a good day. A really good one. And I didn’t need to resurface and hurt to me or Amelia. When I finished with most of the story she squealed.

“I’ve been begging Maven to tell me more about you two ever since he mentioned it once. You guys are so cute!”

I blushed a...

We had already gotten through the first book of Narnia and I started asking questions.

“Who are you in love with?”

Everyone was laughing at each answer shouted out, “Peter!”

“No Edmund!”

“THE CENTAUR”

That got a hard laugh from everyone. Once the laughter died down, everyone went off to do their own things.

“Hey Cora.”

“Hi Kile.”

He propped up on the counter next to me. “Four weeks till you a...

A week later i found myself waiting for Kile to come out in his tailored suit for the wedding. I was sitting down on the chair in the middle of the room. I was with Maven and we were waiting together. Maven was watching me for my reaction for when he walked out. The last week had gotten better for me, and i had found a way to calm down from my panics. Kile helped me find coping mechanisms and im s...

Maven took me into his arms and i cried. Hard. Kile took the sign to walk out so I could talk to Maven.

Maven didnt speak, he just held me as i continued to cry. He situated himself so he could be fully on the bed and i was fully attached to him. I didnt want Kile to leave but i was glad he had noticed what was needed for me before i could.

After a few minutes i finally calmed down.

“Do you want...

Nia was admitted to the hospital after a serious car accident. She was in severe pain and needed medical attention. After being admitted to her room, Nia quickly realized that something was not quite right. The air was thick and heavy, unlike any hospital room she had ever been in before.

As Nia looked around, she noticed that the other patients on the ward were not like any she had ever met befo...

TW: iv, sedatives. Panic

“Will your scars ever disappear?”

Mia asked innocently.

I flinched.

Kile spoke immediately,

“Evangeline, please.” He nodded his hesd to whiever spoke. But I barely heard anything. It wws as thiught a cloud entered in my ears.

“Mia. We do not ask those questions.” Evangeline scolded.

I felt Kile take my plate off my lap. My breathing became short quickly, my hand ...
