Paper Hearts

Chap 8

"What? You know food and your meds are important for your health."Aiden said sternly.

"I kn-"

Bryce cut me off. "You know that your meds need to be taken. If you don't have it at that time then serious things could happen. Or have happened in this case."

"How could of you forgotten?"Carter said with a sigh. "You know how important they are."

"Ivy. You might of done some serious damage to yourself."Douglas added.

"Look I do have a life."I snapped at them. "I've forgotten maybe I actually wanted to go sleep okay! Maybe have some sort of sleep let my dreams drift on. I was ill. "

"Even still they have to be taken. You can't forget them."Finn said.

"It was a mistake guys."Evan defended me "Leave it. She'll get late to school."

"She can't go."Aiden said with a sigh "She has to go to the doctors to see if there is any sign of infections."

"I understand what you guys are on but she can't miss school. What about her SATS?"Heath said.

"You promise me on that day Aiden."My eyes brimmed with tears "That my burns will not hold me back from what I want to do. And I will be able to live my life. That it wouldn't dictate me in life."

"You are. I just don't want to see you in that hospital again hooked up to all those machines again."Aiden said.

"Look it's better to catch it now other than later."Bryce said.

"This does not feel like I'm living my life."

Carter let out a sigh. "The quicker we do this the quicker it'll be over with."

"Can I at least just go to my English lesson?"I asked as I bit my lip. "I just need to grab my project sheet then I'll go."

"Fine."Aiden said. "I'll take the morning off we'll go now."

"I'm off to the hospital for my training as well."Bryce said "I could be the one to stick the needles in you if you want."

"How's that supposed to make her feel any less scared?"Evan rolled his eyes at Bryce.

I turned to Evan. "Come with me please?"

"Sure? "

I nodded "You can sing me Heaven."

Evan let out a groan. "Fine."

-

Evan, Bryce and Aiden were in the car waiting for me. I just got my project sheet.

I walked to my locker and did my combation. I opened my locker door to see a paper heart but folded.

I picked it up and opened it.

Heyyyy..... Had fun last night I hope you did too. Second date? Tomorrow at 7? I'll wait in the same place

Cole X

I smiled. I pulled out my Spanish book and hid the note in there. I closed my locker door to see Zoey there.

She looked at me "Ready for Maths?"

"Hospital more like it."

"Why?"

"Did something stupid and I have to get it check out. See ya tomorrow."

She let out a sigh and nodded "Get better then."

I left the school building I walked into the car park and saw Aiden's car only to see Cole, Finn and Grayson stood by it talking to Aiden,Evan and Bryce.

I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and walked to the car.

Cole looked up and stopped in mid-senstance when he saw me. "Hey Ivy."

"Hi."I said with a smile on my face.

Finn put his arm around Cole's shoulder. "Good luck sissy."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Thank you. It'll be nothing."

I walked to the car door and opened the door. I sat at the backseat with Evan. I closed the door and Aiden drove off.
