Mara

The pain in my arm is manageable at the moment so while I can handle it I’m refusing anything stronger because I don’t want to be out of it when Donovan gets back here.

I’ve eaten all my lunch because I was so hungry, and I’m not sure why people complain about hospital food because that wasn’t too bad. I’m just glad my mom has finally gone for a walk to the shop to get me something fizzy and some chocolate. My sweet tooth is calling.

I’m trying to concentrate on the magazine that Mom brought me, but I’m just not in the mood and I feel restless. I know what I’m restless for and that is for Donovan to get back here. I know he needed some rest and proper food, but I just want him here. I’m really trying not to be too clingy with him, but I feel as though something is missing when we’re not together.

Looking toward the opening door to my room, my heart flutters hoping it’s Donovan then drops to my toes when I see Sarah.

“Can I come in?”

“I guess.”

Sarah looks nervous as she approaches my bed with her hands flexing around the straps of her purse.

She sits in the chair beside me.

“How are you feeling?”

Does she really care?

I answer her anyway, “Not too bad.”

“Good. Good.”

We sit in silence for a few minutes. I can’t help hoping that Mom will get back soon to save me and I’ve no idea what Sarah’s thinking about.

Finally having enough of the silence, I ask, “Why are you here?”

She flinches as though I’ve hit her and I watch as her eyes tear up. “I’m sorry, Mara.” She swipes at a wayward tear. “I’ve been a bitch to you and I’m sorry. I’m sorry for calling you a whore. I’m just damn sorry about everything. I’m pissed, okay. So damn angry—not at you—at someone else or me. I haven’t decided properly. Anyway, the truth is I do like Donovan but not in the way you obviously do. Okay, perhaps that’s a lie. I used to like Donovan that way, but I haven’t for a long while. He just seemed handy to get my own back on someone. No matter though, you’re my sister and I shouldn’t have treated you that way. I’m sorry.”

I’m stunned. I never in a million years expected her to apologize to me. And who is this someone she’s referring to? She’s so damn private. I need to accept her apology though if we’re going to move forward. She’s my sister after all.

“Apology accepted. Who are you talking about?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Yes it does. If they caused you to act like you have been then it matters.”

“It’s just some guy I met at college. We dated a few times, well more like three months and then it went to shit. I’m good now and I really am sorry for being a bitch with you and Donovan.”

“Okay, but what about Dahlia? Why did you blackmail her?”

“Oh God,” she puts her head in her hands.
