Cursed With Beauty (28)

S3eed: I'm just sick of the fights..

Amal: The first girl Khalid falls for is getting married!

Khalid: SHIT! SHIT! Amal ..
-------------------


Amal:

Khalid's accident was pretty violent. His car had flipped over twice and the man who hit him was already gone..

I sat on the same chair I sat on when mother departed. It seemed like every visit to this hospital was a final goodbye to one of us..

I was tired of crying, praying for good to come, and in came 3amy Rashed... and S3eed. I thought I prayed for good?

I ran and hugged 3amy, who hugged me back tightly.. His hug made me cry all over again.

Me: I don't want to live without him 3amy! I can't!

I was scared. Khalid was my best friend & I wasn't prepared to say goodbye. Joojoo visited at the hospital and pulled me to the coffee shop.

I sat down hugging my legs to my chest laying on the armchair. Joojoo got me some coffee and was silent for a while..

S3eed joined us, he sat on the couch beside Joojoo's..

Joojoo: Amal, I have to tell you something..

I sat down properly, wiping my tears.

Joojoo: I don't need to be judged. I hope you understand..

Me: What's wrong?

Joojoo: No! Nothing.. It's just.. Saif & I are.. Kind of.. Together now..

Me: WHAT!?

I looked at S3eed and looked back at her. Why is she telling me this in front of him?

Joojoo: Oh! Well.. S3eed knows, Saif keeps NOTHING from him.

S3eed's coffee arrived.

Joojoo's not gullible, this I knew. Joojoo was sociable, but not reachable. For Joojoo to end up with Saif.. That was the biggest shock.

I was out of any energy to argue, so I let it be. I just sat back into my original position sipping my coffee waiting for that "good" I prayed for.

Hours passed, and each was longer than a day, until a doctor finally came out and the only news he had was "Everything's stable.. He'll just need some time to regain consciousness."

At his bed I saw a huge cast that covered his leg, wires all over his chest and arms, but he'd already gotten up, and all I saw was pain in his eyes.

Me: Ahlan..

I whispered. He smiled but did not reply..

Khalid:

It was pain and hopelessness that left me broken. I had no intention of moving, or even feeling as alive as I felt on that bed that could've been my deathbed..
