Lake house

- Two weeks later –

Calum’s (POV)

I dropped my bowl of cereal as I heard the words come out of the doctor mouth though the phone. The smash of the bowl drew everyone’s attention to me; I hung up the phone and hesitated to move. I was trying to work it all out in my mind. “Calum? What’s wrong, who was on the phone?” Kirsty asked standing unsurely in front of me. I gently pushed through her, grabbed my keys and walked out the door letting it slam behind me. I raced to the car, still having mixed emotion of what I was told, and pulled out the drive way heading for the hospital.

I slowly walked into Phoebe’s room where sure enough she was sitting in her bed. Yes sitting. With her eyes open. This is the first time in 2weeks I’ve seen her awake and I was god dam happy to. She looked at me, gave me a warm smile, than looked me up and down. I knew she didn’t know who I was but just the feeling of knowing she is probably trying hard to make me feel like I am remembered is the best. “You can come in” She said quietly drawing me out of my daydream. I sat in the chair I did the night she arrived here and looked at her in a different light, a more positive one then last time.

“So im Ca~” “yes Calum, I know your name” did she remember me? “You remember me?” I said smiling “No, just your name, Calum” She said in a simple tone. “And Kirsty, I remember Kirsty, who, who is Kirsty” she asks stuttering “Your best friend” I replied softly “With, with the blond hair and blue eyes!” She said like an excited 5year old, I laughed “Yeah, yep your right.” Those beautiful eyes… We hadn’t exactly broken up. However we haven’t talked about it either. The day we had the fight went so fast neither of us could really remember the whole story but I can remember holding her small worried body tight in my arms on the car journey from the hospital.

I should probably call the others tell them that actually Phoebe is alive and I wasn’t being controlled by some demon earlier. Michael answers “Hello” “Hey Michael…” (SKIP COVERSATION) “Okay see you in a bit” I said as I hung up the phone. “Is Kirsty coming, Kirsty, with, with blond hair and blue eyes?” The doctors did say she might act a bit wired for the first day or so but to me it sounds like she should be in some crazy house, can’t blame her I guess I would act a bit crazy too if I had just woken up from a coma with no memory what so ever then just two names and a hair and eye colour.

Kirsty (POV)

As we arrived I rushed up to her room and burst through the doors leading into her room.The others waiting in the waiting room. It was amazing to see her sitting there talking and smiling. She looked up and the smile on her face disappeared as mine followed but why? “You, you where there, why didn’t you save me? You’re Kirsty with the blond hair and blue eyes.” She is nuts. “She was where Phoebe?” Calum said like he was some sort of therapist. I walked in slowly and sat down as she lay back in the hospital bed. “When the car hit me, you stood there and watched me die!”

I felt tears come to my eyes, did i? Did I really just watch her almost get killed? Was it my fault? “Friends don’t do that! Kirsty with the blond hair and blue eyes, why did you let me die!” She was up on her knees now shouting, “Woah, Phoebe you’re not dead!” Calum says standing up, I was just so, so… I don’t even know how I’m feeling. She sat back and calmed down, “but, but he said It’s good that I’m dead, cause I might of known something” that got our attention, “Who told you this, what do you know?” I said. “The man with the black jacket and red trainers said it wasn’t supposed to be me who died it was supposed to be…”

She looked away for a second and then back at me “Kirsty with the blond hair and blue eye, it was you. He said you were supposed to die, not me. But its good I died anyway he said” “So this man thinks you’re dead cause you knew something? And so does Kirsty?” Calum said, she just nodded. But neither of us are dead I thought. Calum looked at me and gave me an confused look. The hairs on my arms stood up as I got the worst feeling inside of me, I instantly felt like I was being watched.

- One week later –

Calum’s (POV)

Phoebe is coming home today; it’s going to be nice to have here back around. She has had the whole week to re-meet everybody and she tells me she really likes us all. Kirsty hasn’t been relaxed since the day Phoebe told her that she was supposed to die, I told her Phoebe had just woken up and was probably confused and was putting words together. I even got her to talk to the doctor who was looking after Phoebe and he agreed worth every word I said but of course Ky still felt worried. “Ready to leave?” I said holding Phoebe’s bags and Kirsty linking arms with her, “So ready to get out of here!” She said in a happy tone, we had rented the lake house for the rest of the summer so Phoebe could enjoy our holiday still.

Ashton, Luke, Michael, Kiara and Georgia are all at home setting up a welcome home party for Phoebe for when she gets in. “Right I’m going to run to the car and put all you bags in, meet you guys down there” I say leaving her room for hopefully the last time. I got to the car chucked he bags in the boot, then got in and waited.

Kirtsy (POV)

Me and Phoebe walked out of the hospital linking arms talking about all the thing we were going to do for the rest of the summer. I wanted to ask her about the man in the black jacket and red trainers but I was afraid it would make her freak out or something. “Look! There he is, the man with the black jacket and the red trainers!” Phoebe shouted pointing over the road to a shaded part of the street, the man slid quickly into a darkened ally way and was in longer in sight, I could feel my self-shaking with fear the hairs on my arms had once again risen. “He is always sneaking around” she said to herself which really didn’t help me at the moment.

We got to the car, Phoebe sat in the back and I sat in the front. “I sore him again Calum, the man in the black jacket and red trainers, always trying to hide!” Always? She is so fucking innocent right now; if this was here a year ago she would want to call the bloody police. Instead she Is like some child playing a game of never ending hide and sneak… We pulled into the drive way and we all got out. We walked inside and was greeted by everyone jumping out, a banner saying ‘welcome back!’ and cake! We all sat down round the table and ate the cake, we were all back together again it might be harder than last time but that’s no problem for me… Or is it?

Notes
