Chapter Seven

“Where…where am I?” asked Kim as her eyes fluttered open for a split second.

“You’re at St. James Hospital,” said a nurse. “You were in a fire. You inhaled a lot of smoke, but that’s why you’ve got that oxygen mask on. You’ll be okay. Just rest.”

Kim’s eyes fluttered shut but before they did, she could’ve sworn she saw two familiar figures, who she recognized as they’d been in her dreams…

Kim woke up. This time, she felt better. The nurse wasn’t around, but two handsome men were, one on his laptop, the other with his nose in a book.

“Jace?” asked Kim. “Gabe? Is that you?”

Jace shut his book and Gabe put his laptop down. They came up to her bed but gave her space to breathe.

“Kim…we haven’t left your side all night,” said Jace.

“We’ve been here in shifts,” explained Gabe. “We didn’t want you to be alone if…I mean, when you woke up.”

If. Even though Gabe had taken it back, it was obvious what he meant. He’d been scared, scared that Kim could’ve died.

“I’m fine,” said Kim. “I was stupid to have had my headphones on, and not checked what was going on when things smelled funny. I shouldn’t’ve packed a bag to…” That’s when Kim realized why she’d packed the bag. Her eyes welled up with tears.

“It’s gonna be okay,” said Jace.

“Did the firefighters…manage to get my bag?” asked Kim.

Jace looked at Gabe as if to say something, and Gabe gave him a look Kim didn’t understand. Did Kim really not realize that they were the ones that had saved her from the fire? It was a conversation they could have another time.

“What’s going on?” asked Kim. “Tell me what’s going on.”

“None of your belongings survived the fire,” said Gabe.

“No…you don’t understand,” said Kim. “There was something in that bag that couldn’t be replaced.”

“What was it?” asked Jace.

“It was a book,” said Kim.

“What kind of book?” asked Gabe.

“A romance novel,” said Kim. “Don’t laugh, I know it sounds silly, but…it’s the last thing I have that reminds me of my grandmother. “

“Why is it the last thing?” asked Gabe.

Kim looked at Jace. She knew that he already knew exactly why.

Kim sighed. “I wrote about this for my scholarship essay. My grandmother is the reason I’m even at this college. You see…my parents are meth addicts, but meth’s just their main poison of choice. Crack, heroin, coke, you name it, and of course, they love the bottle. I was taken from them at age five and placed with my grandma. I lived with her until I was fourteen…and she passed. Those nine years were the happiest of my life. We didn’t have a lot…but we had each other. After that, I was passed around foster homes and over time, the trinkets I had from our time together were stolen by other foster kids…or sometimes the parents, looking to punish me or pawn it for money. The items that never got stolen? The romance novels she’d shared with me. They couldn’t be pawned for anything and nobody wanted them, nobody but me.
