Give Me A Second Chance [Sample]

Chapter 16

Unedited:

"How are you feeling now?" Claire asked me handling me a glass of juice and took a seat near me. I badly wanted a tea but as you know I am allergic of coffee, I can't take risk.

There is a chance to misplace coffee instead of tea. Then I will definitely die, the pain will be unbearable. So I never dare to take risk.

If I had in my home, I would have made tea for myself and have relaxed a bit in my comfy bed because I won't trust anyone except me. But my bad luck, I am on my way to college.

"Not bad Claire but My head is still pounding. I don't know when it is going to stop." I whined like a child rubbing the spot where I felt the throbbing pain.

"If you don't mind, I will make a tea for you." she asked feeling guilty.

"No way Claire!!" Immediately I got alarmed. "I still remembered what you have done in our high school." I raised both my hands as a surrender and shook my head dramatically.

"Come on Riya! I thought you were kidding so I made a coffee instead of tea and..."

"And you forced me to drink a whole coffee, secretly writing my death wish." I finished the sentence.

Her face dropped a bit and I feel sorry for what I said.

I squeezed her hand, "Sorry Claire! The words just slipped out of my mouth. I am not stable, my mind is not helping though." My voice downed.

"You know what? I am still sorry about that day! You were admitted for almost four days in the hospital." She stated truthfully.

"Hmm... good for nothing! Because our friendship grew better from that day and now we are tied to each other. Aren't we?" We both smiled and began to eat our breakfast.

"How was he?" She asked blankly. I could guess she is asking about Kayish but what she meant?

"Huh???!" I gave her a confusing look.

"I mean how did he react once you reached your home?. Was he still mad?"

"Actually I didn't go to my home. I went with him to his apartment. And yes! He was so mad. He would have broken his whole apartment down and thank God I was there to stop him from doing anything nonsense that he would regret later."

"So you mean you both slept together, right?!." Her eyes widen like a panda.

"Yeah! Almost. He was on the sofa besides I was in bed." I said casually.

"Ohh! Riya!!! You are useless. If I was in your place..."

"In my place?" I raised my eyebrows. Her cheeks turned into a shade of pink. I bit my lips to hide my laughter.

"Riya!!!" She whined pouting her lips.

"Okay! I'm sorry!!! I didn't mean to..." oh God I couldn't control my laughter and I burst out. "I'm sorry Claire! Really I am. I couldn't control my laughter." I said between the laughter.

She crept out of her boyfriend's apartment through the window when her boyfriend went to grab a water in the kitchen. She thought he might plan to have some naughty things that I'm sure you must have understood what, and see who is talking about useless now.

"Claire! Sometimes I'm scared of him. He is a beast when he gets angry, I don't know how long I am going to control his beast." I said matter of fact.
