Summer's Point of View
Three days have passed. Three days that I avoided Jake and Kyle. The annoying part is they are always at the house, having fun with Fiona. Whenever I was doing chores outside and inside, I tried hard not to get with conversation with them.
It seems like Kyle noticed it now because he kept on pestering me now that I'm watering the plants. They are here because of Fiona and would always be like that.
"Please talk to me, Summer. I want to know if you're doing fine. Please, please, please. You said you won't be harsh to us but this is more harsh than your words" Kyle said.
I can't talk to both of them because if I'm going to talk with one, I would feel guilty about the other, especially Jake. This was my plan and I would execute it well. It was for the sake of our futures, it can't be damaged anymore.
"Can you just stop doing it, Kyle. If she doesn't want to let her be" Jake said. I didn't even know that he was watching us. I still continue watering the plant without interacting with them, even eye contact.
"But it was Summer. Summer's definitely has a reason and I want to know it" Kyle said. I can't be weakened by his soft words, this would be for the better.
"Omg i was looking for the both of you guys, i need a hand as the toilet was unclogged" Fiona said at the back of Jake, glaring at me. She was like signalling me on things.
"But we don't know how to deal with that, we can call a plumber" Jake said.
"Yes, can you find some plumber, Kyle. And Jake we're going to check the toilet while you're looking for some '' Fiona instructed. And they split up, I saw Jake even glance at me and we both made eye contact with each other. But I quickly looked away.
I didn't even notice that the plants were drowning by the water that I poured on them. I shook my head, annoyed at myself and with these thoughts. I should really get a grip on it.
"Hi, Are you Summer?" Some old lady in her late 40's went to our gate and asked me that. I was confused but I still nodded.
"Yes, why? Who are you?" I asked. She seemed kind and when i said that she smiled.
"Oh I'm Jake and Kyle's mom, Marie Grace. You can call me Aunt Marie if you want to, Jake was right, you're very beautiful on your own. Can I invite you to our house?" She said.
I was contemplating whether or not I would accept her invitation. Jake and Kyle are both busy helping Fiona right now and if I reject her that would be my guilt since she seems so kind.
"Uh, okay. I would love to" I said and she was happy just by looking at her smile with her teeth showing.
"Let's go, are you done with your chores?" She asked and I just nodded. I let her grab me in my hands. She was very fragile when holding it like she doesn't want to hurt my wrist.
She seems like a mom, always gently taking care of us. Jake and Kyle definitely get their attitude because they are surrounded by someone who really takes care and love them so much.
I always wondered what would happen if I didn't get hurt back then and went to the hospital. Our life can be as perfect as theirs as well because we're surrounded by mom and dad's love. It wouldn't be too complicated to love.
"Here, you can sit there first while I serve the dish that I cooked." she said and i followed that. I looked around and see their family pictures everywhere. It seems so lovely because they got family pictures yearly, as they were growing up.
I also see their mom and dad's wedding picture. Their mom was pregnant with them when the wedding occurred because she has a baby bump in the pictures.
"I'm so sorry for what had happened to both of you. I treat Fiona as a part of the family. I'm so sorry again" She said with an apologetic face. I shook my head instantly.
"No need to apologise at me, there's really no need" I said.
"Their dad was a seaman so that's why we choose to have a tradition to get a family picture every year. Fiona always cries when she sees that so every time she was here it was being hid" She explains and started to get the family picture as she thought that it can be the same to me.
"No, no i really don't mind and you have a beautiful family," I said.
The first part was a lie. I really mind it and wondered is I am really the problem because we can also have that if it wasn't for the accident that happened to me on that day it wouldn't be like this.
"I would still hide this, in case. Let's talk about you, yourself. Jake was really attracted to you and I'm so happy. He wasn't like this on any other girls, he never talked about the girls he got crushed on so i was afraid that he might be, you know gay" Her mom explains.
I don't know why I feel happy after knowing about that. After knowing that he was attracted to me and I was the first one he talked about to his mom. I think it was because it was the first time someone does that to me.
"Your dish was really delicious. Even your soup became my favourite instantly" I compliment the dish. It was really delicious but I feel like I want to throw something up.
I held my throat not to throw up because she might think that I'm lying and still continue what I'm eating but then suddenly I was getting defeated.
"Can I go to the bathroom?" I asked. "Sure, sure. There let me show you where it is" She responded and even held me to where the bathroom is. I already want to puke badly and I'm starting to get dizzy. And I also don't know why.
When I got to their bathroom, I instantly puked what I ate. It was really embarrassing because Aunt Marie was helping me to puke more. I noticed some blood and it just got more when I puke more. I instantly hold my throat and control my puke because blood is just what I vomit and it's not fine.
I think Aunt Marie also saw it too and I really pray that she won't tell it to Jake and Kyle because I know they would tell it to Fiona and it might get worse. I also think of what would be the reason behind that vomit.
"I'm really sorry,Aunt Marie. I think it's so hot that I end up vomiting but I swear to you, your meal was delicious" I said.
"You should check that up to the professionals, dear" Aunt Marie advised. I should do that but I was afraid of what the results would be. I don't know why now I'm so scared of dying.
"I should get into the house now, Aunt Marie. Please don't tell anyone what you saw. I don't want Fiona to know about this because she's very sensitive" I said and she just nodded. I felt at ease and sighed deeply, she hugged me and tapped my shoulder as a comfort.
"You can do this, you can fight on what's going to happen. I know you're a strong woman and you've got this, dear" She said.
After the hug, I went into the house and went straight to my bedroom, talking to no one. I was afraid they could see the fear in my eyes as I'm getting worried about what's going on.
It was my first time getting scared of the thought that I would die. Back then, I really hoped for this time that I would always beg God to take me with my parents and let me be at peace but now, I just don't know why this happens now.
I think it was because I still didn't reconcile with Fiona and I wouldn't leave her alone because she would for sure suffer more. So now I really hope it was nothing but I knew deep inside it was something.
