Chapter 20 A wish

•  Kylie's POV 
“ Hey Dexton. ” I said walking up to him, waving my hands up in the air.
“ Kylie...” He came to hug me, leaving the girl he was talking to.
“ Is she your girlfriend ? ” I ask as we disconnect from the girl, noticing a glare in her eyes. She looks pretty tho.
Instantly her cheeks went red.
Awwn , that's sweet!
But he is for Anna.
“ No, she is not my girlfriend. She is just a random girl I saw and I wish to f**k her. ” He said nonchalantly,  without care.
I don't even know when I coughed, I was not expecting that reply from him. He is too blunt.
I turned to look at her, her eyes were welled up in tears. I guessed what he said really hit her hard. 
“ That's uncultured for you to say.” I say as I playfully shove him in his shoulder.
He just shrugged like as if it is nothing, he does not even feel bother about of what he said hurt the girl.
The girl sniffed “ Dex, I'm just a random girl ? ” Her voice wavered in pain.
“ Yeah, we just met. The only reason I came to you cause you are pretty and I wanna fuck you, that's all.” He says with his shoulder up high while his both hands are tucked in his pocket.
“ Well I'm not a slut.” She said and walk away in anger.
“ My number is still with you, call me when you get home.” He shouted.
The girl covered her ears then went far way from him.
He chuckled. “ She is really pretty.” He says as a smile danced it's way to his lips.
He is a big time flirt. I wonder how Anna is going to cope with him.
But I sense a great chemistry between that girl and him or is it just me ?
Maybe it is just me.
He sigh and turn to me. “ So heading to class ? ”
“ Yeah, let's go.” I say with a smile.
“ Offering Bio ? ”
“ No.... I mean yes.”
“ O...kay.” He drawled.
“ Ehm... You know there will be concert on Feb 14 which is Valentine's day.”
“ What concert ? ”
“ The concert Kye announced she will be holding on that day.”
“ Oh, I heard about it. Not really a fan of her but she sings good music, it hit right to the soul.” He said hitting his chest and used his the hand he used to form a peace sign acting coolly.
“ So.... Are you going ? ”
“ No... Do you want me to follow you ?”
“ No, I'm not even going. You could take another girl with you, like Anna ? ”
“ Hmmm, nah.”
“ Huh ? ”
“ Anna is my friend so she is no going area, I rather take a girl I could bang later that day will be more fun.” He said laughing.
“ Oh my God.” I facepalmed myself.
He chuckles.
“ How are you so comfortable with what you are saying ? ”
“ I don't know.” He shrugged.
“ You are unbelievable.” I said shaking my head in pity.
He laughed a little.
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, I turned it was Ashton.
“ Hey, Ash.”
“ Stopping calling me Ash, Just say Ashton.” He says with an eye roll.
“ I'm too lazy to call your full name, Ash. ” I say, smiling cheekily at him.
“ I have nothing to say, why are you passing this way ? I thought you are having marketing now or you have forgotten the way to class. Short term memory.” He says, shaking his head in pity.
I rolled my head. “ I have not, I was escorting this little boy here...” I say pointing at Dexton who is beside me.
...to his class.”
“ Huh ? Are you not having Biology ? You said you do.” Dexton says feeling confuse.
“ Did I ? Did you hear me say anything ? ”
“ Yes, I mean no. Just go to class, I can walk by myself and I'm not a little child.” He said and walk to his class hastily.
I chuckled. “ He has grown up so quickly.” I said cleaning up an imaginary tears.
“ You are weird.” Ashton said as he removed his hands from my shoulder.
“ Let's go to class before I get a detention because of you.”
I snorts, “ Oh please ! ”
“ By the way, what were you discussing with Dexton ? ”
“ Why do you want to know ? ”
“ Just want to know. You don't know  maybe I could help. ”
“ I was just asking whether he has a Val and he could make Anna his Val. ” I say looking down at my leg.
He laughed. “ I hope you did not ask him that.”
“ I did, in a stylish way and his response was that he wants to take someone that he could bang later.” I say, shivering in disgust.
“ Typical Dexton.” He say with a chuckle.
“ Well he can't even say yes because it will cause fight between him and Ray. Dexton can not fight so there is a ninety-nine point nine percent that he will be the one in the hospital, he can't risk that.”
“ Wait... Ray likes Anna ? ” I ask in surprise.
“ Yeah, he is even planning to ask her to be his Val, one at a time he said.” Ash said with a smile.
“ Wow, that's so sweet but Anna likes Dexton.”
“ She doesn't, she likes every cute boys her eyes lay upon so she likes no one just crush on boys. She is complicated.”
“ How did you know ? ”
“ I'm good at knowing people, I'm kind of a psychologist.”
“ Really ? ”
“ Yeah, and maybe because I'm more better cupid than you.”
“ I did not say I'm a cupid.”
“ You don't need to say so, I know that is what you wanted to do. Play a foolish cupid !” He shakes his head.
I spanked his head with my hand.
“ Ouch ! That's hurts.” He whined.
I rolled my eyes and entered class.

Heading to the cafeteria with Ashton who has being disturbing constantly.
It was fun being with him, I guessed he is in his happy mood today or he acts cranky to the person he is not close to.
“ Kylie, will you come hear me play ? ” He asks jarring me out of my thoughts.
“ Huh ? ”
As he was about to speak, Anna ran to me screaming with joy.
When she got to where we were, she started jumping.
“ What's making you feel giddy ? ” I asked her.
“ I'm going to Kye's concert.” She said smiling.
“ How ? I mean you said you can not go without a Val, did you find one ? ”
“ My Val found me. Ray asked me to be his Val and I said yes so I'm going.”
“ You like Ray not Dexton ? ”
“ None.”
“ But you said...”
“ I said nothing, okay ? You just assumed I do. I crush on boys that catch attention and like and crush is very different to me. Crush is an infatuation and it is bound to disappear.”
“ So you don't like any body ?”
“ Maybe I do, I'm beginning to like Ray. He is kinda of sweet and besides Dexton likes whoring better than a relationship and I'm not ready to catch STDs.”
I stifle a laugh. “ I hope you are happy.”
“ Yes I am, what do you want so I will quickly order our meal.”
“ Meat casserole.” I replied her.
“ Okay.” She said and skip happily to the cafeteria.
“ You see , I'm more better cupid than you.” He said behind me.
“ Clap for yourself.” I said with a faux smile.
He rolled his eyes.
I felt a vibration on my back, I knew my phone was ringing.
I opened my bag to answer Bob's call. It was not his call , it was Elle's.
Why is she calling me ?
I picked it.
“ Hello ? ”
“ Kylie...” Her voice boomed out, it sounded like she has been crying.
“ What's wrong ? ”
“ My b....b..aby....” She stuttered in tears.
“ Calm down and talk, okay ? ”
“ He had an accident at home which made him loose a lot of blood, the doctor said they need to do blood transfusion to him unless he will die and my blood is not suitable for him. His blood type is rare, I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose Kye...”
A tear dropped from my eye. “ You are not going to loose him, I promise you. I will be there okay, just calm down.” 
“ Okay, be expecting you.” She said and the phone call ended.
I turned to see Ashton staring at me  with a worry look.
“ Do you know where Eric is ? ” I asked him.
“ Is everything okay ? ” He asked in concern.
“ Just tell me where Eric is.”
“ He might be in the cafeteria.” He said rubbing his neck.
“ Okay, can you do what you did other day ? ”
“ What ? ”
“ The day we skipped school, could we skip again ? But this time with Eric.”
“ Yeah, I guess. Hope all is well ? ”
“ All will be well, just get your car ready.” I said and went to the cafeteria.
I saw Eric sitting eating fries and ketchup, I dragged him by the hands out of the cafeteria ignoring every curious and uncomfortable stares I was receiving.
“ What's wrong ? ” Eric asked wondering why I dragged him like that.
“ Just follow me.” that was my reply.
~~~~
“ What am I doing in a hospital ? ” Eric asked as we entered.
I ignored him still holding him by the hand.
He turned to Ashton, “ Bro, what's happening ? Am I sick ? ”
“ I don't know for you.” Ash said with a shrug.
I saw Elle pacing forth and back looking so worried in the reception, I can tell she has been crying due to her red puffy eyes.
I left Eric's hand and went to meet her.
“ Elle...”
She hugged me immediately. “ I'm scared, Kylie.”
I patted her back comforting her. “ You don't need to be, I brought solution.”
“ Huh ? ” She raised her head and disconnect from the hug.
Her eyes met with Eric's.
“ Dani....” His voice came out as a whisper.
“ You lost every right to call that name , so don't you dare.” She said in a warning tone then turn to me.
“ What is he doing here ? ”
“ To save Ricky.”
“ You told him.”
“ No I didn't, he is yet to know. I brought him here without him knowing why he is coming here.”
“ Why is he here ? ”
“ To give blood to Ricky.”
“ I and my baby do not need anything from him.” She said wiping her tears with her fingers.
I pinched the bridge of my nose. “ Stop being stubborn and selfish, Ricky's life is in danger here and you are refusing the only solution to save him. That's selfishness, I know he has hurt you but what he did to you was not intentional. I promise myself I won't meddle in you two affairs but Ricky's life is in danger and I love that kid damn too much, I won't let him die. So agree or not Eric is giving blood to his child.” I deadpan.
“ Child ? I have a child ? ” He said with disbelief.
I turned to him, “ Yes you do, apparently you impregnated her then break up with her which led to the breaking of her soul.”
He held a guilty look but there was a glint of happiness in his eyes. “ Where is my child ? A girl or a boy ? ” 
“ A boy, he looks just like you. A baby version of you, cuter than you.” I said with a smile.
He wiped his tears. “ Ashton, I'm a father. I'm a father, she said my son looks just like me--” 
Ashton smiled, “ I heard that.”
-- I can't wait hold him. Where is he ? ”
“ In the ward, he needs blood.”
“ Then what are you waiting for, doctor come and transfer blood to my son. I'm a father.” He shouted excitedly.
Elle was looking at him in disbelief soon she let out a smile.
I smiled seeing her smiling.
***
“ Are you alright ? ” Elle said feeding  Eric chicken soup.
Eric was looking at her with love in his eyes. He nods his head with a smile.
She said she is only taking care of him because he transferred blood to Ricky but I know that is not the only reason, she hated seeing him in pain. She still love him.
Ricky was sleeping peacefully in his arms, they looked like a real family.
So cute !
Ashton tugged my shirt telling us it is time to go home.
“ It is already late, I will come visit tomorrow.”
“ Thank you so much Kylie and thank you Ashton.” She said in a sincere tone.
Ashton simply nods his head.
“ Ah... It's nothing, we are friends and I will always be there for you.” I said with a smile on my face.
She sniffs, “ Bye, I love you.”
“ I do too.” I said as I stepped out of the ward with Ashton then went out of the hospital.
It was already dark.
“ Eric is really happy to hear that he was a father, at first I thought he will be sad, angry or show any other emotions than happiness.” I said.
“ Eric is a responsible man and he loves Elle too much so anything from her he will surely loves it. ” Ashton says looking up the sky.
I looked up and saw a shooting star.
“ Ashton, that's a shooting star. Make a wish. ”
“ I don't believe in that, I'm not sure it will come to pass.”
“ Just try.”
“ Okay.”
I folded my hands like someone is praying and closed my eyes then wish silently.
I opened my eyes to see Ashton staring at me.
“ So what did you wish for ?”
“ The wish can never come true.”
“ Just tell me.” I insisted.
He rolled his eyes. “ Okay, I wished for Kylie to be my Val on feb.14. Will you ? ” He turned to me.
He mistook my silence for a no.
“ You see my wish did not....”
I placed my finger on his lips cutting him off.
“ Yes, I will be your Val.” I said with a genuine smile.
He laughed. “ Do you want to know my second wish ? ”
“ Yeah.”
“ This is it.”
Suddenly everywhere became void, all that matters was the lips on mine. 
Then it dawn to me.
He stole...
My...
First kiss.
