The Life a Girl Saved
She walks in the room,
frightned and trembling,
she doesn’t know what of
After she sits down for a while
she turned toward the guy behind her,
she wants to say something,
but she can’t,
she knows it
She tries again,
but she can’t seem
to get the words out
so she says something else,
she's been trying,
since the beginning of this year
but everytime,
something else come out of her mouth
Her thoughts are right
she knows that it's so true
But it just seems that
it's not the right time,
not the right moment
Something was definitely
going to happen,
she knew it
She could sense it,
she could feel it
in fingers and toes
It was the end of class
and the minute before the bell
Something did happen,
something horrible, but awesome
Bittersweet, some people call it,
but this was her chance
The boy she had always a crush on
went into a seizer
None of the student knew
what he was doing on the floor
But they all watched him, astonished
None of the other student
knew what to do,
but she knew,
She knew what to do,
she took a class for it,
just in case she needed it,
She didn’t have him
hold on to something,
because it will fall,
She moved all the stuff
that was in front of him and
let it happen,
Holding his hand
as tight as he held hers,
and with his French notebook in his mouth
She knew he would
thank her for it later,
When he finally woke up,
from the deepest sleep he had ever had,
She was at his hospital bed side,
she had accidently fell asleep there,
When he woke her up,
she asked him if he needed anything,
He asked her
what had happened,
She said he fell
and she caught him
The truth was when he was falling
he grabbed her shirt
A couple of buttons were ripped off,
she never told him
She hid it from him,
because she was afraid
of what might he think of her
and she didnt want the attention,
When her parents asked where she was,
she said that
She was at a friend’s house,
her parents never got her
When they asked about her shirt
she said she got into a fight
All she could remember was him,
all she could do as think about him
And although he thought about other things,
he never forgot the incident
but was always wondering why was she there,
In the first place,
God made it so,
And waiting for him,
attending his every need,
He never thought about it,
but he was falling,
madly falling for her,
He never knew it,
he looked at her differently,
but she couldn't sense it
In the hospital,
He asked her if he could
be friends with her,
To know more about
what had really happened
His parents couldn’t tell him,
aunts or uncles, teacher,
they were never there,
She was really hoping
he will forget about the incident,
until one morning,
a couple of weeks later,
she cracked,
And she told everything
about the fall and the seizer
about the buttons and her parents
But by then he had already known
about everything she said,
people had been talking about it
She was worried about him,
felt guilty and worried
that if he knew
If he knew she had been lying
to him, all this time,
he’d hate her forever
She didn’t tell him
because the words got stuck again
She thought he would despise her,
he would call her a liar,
and never even give her a chance
to prove she was worth it
He pretended to think hard
about all the things
she said to him and
When she least excepted it,
he brushed her hair back,
he told her he loved her
For what she did
and he wanted to know more about her
because of the brave thing she did
And she had the most beautiful smile
and that he was extremely grateful
to be one of her closest friends
That’s all she wanted
for someone to care about her
and that incident changed her life
Forever
