Page 2 of Heal Me

Here my heart began to beat wildly. Hereditary disease? What does the word hereditary mean?

I was only ten, and unfortunately or fortunately, I didn't understand the meaning of certain words.

When my mother left the office, I could not look at her. The eyes are full of tears and pain, the face is as white as a wall. Several years later, I realised that she also lost a part of herself. That the universe that she existed for left her.

Chapter 3

2011

Sebastian turned sixteen. He looked older than his peers. Perhaps because after the death of our father, he completely immersed himself in sports and studies.

I never met such persistent and intelligent people in my life. He was a role model for me, after dad, of course.

"Everything will be fine." Sebastian always said , and then he closed himself in his room for several hours and who knows what he did there. We weren't as close as we used to be.

Mom closed the door to her heart from me and I couldn't blame her, Sebastian closed the door to his room, and we didn't play any more. I closed myself off from the whole world to keep this pain inside me.

And then he appeared. My ray of sunshine, my hope, my stream of air. Denys transferred to my class and made me see the light when it seemed that I was forever doomed to live in darkness.

He was not like the others, he was the best. This is how our friendship began, which later turned into the most sincere love in the world.

"Hi." He sat next to me as it was the only free place in the class. Did I mention that I have a hard time making friends?

I did not immediately answer.

"Hi."

His blue eyes were carefully examining my face, and I couldn't look away either.

"I'm Dan," he held out his hand.

"Amelia." I shook his hand.

Dan quickly became the star of our class, and then among others, after a few years he became famous throughout the whole city. Although boys in those years are not very tall, he was tall enough. I liked his light blond hair, which turned completely golden in the sun. I loved his eyes, the colour of the Pacific Ocean, which were always looking intently at me.

I don't know why the stars decided that day that Dan and I would become friends, but I will say one thing - they were not wrong with the choice.

We spent all the time together, and when we didn't see each other for more than a week, we were ready to do anything just to meet.

"Coke?" he asked, and I nodded. "Today it's my turn to choose a film."

"I remember," I said, and put the notebook aside. It is only four o'clock in the afternoon, and we have just returned from school. I don't know how exactly I persuaded Denys to watch a movie with me, but still we are sitting on the couch at my house and watching Harry Potter.

"Classic," I answered, and he smiled.

I lay on his shoulder and felt something that I had never felt before.

The warmth that came from the depths of Denys's body was given to me.

I felt what, after several years, I called love.

2015

We turned fifteen, Denys was already successfully working in the field of modelling. If only you could see his perfect facial features, straight nose, slightly plump red lips and perfect strong body. I loved how his jaw tensed when he got angry, or how his abs peeked out from under his Tshirts. Sebastian was already finishing his second year and was dating a girl. He was not going to introduce us yet. I don't know whether he himself was mentally preparing for this, or whether he was preparing the girl. We got close again, became us again.

"So do you love her?" I asked when, finally, for the first time in several months, Sebastian returned from Kyiv, where he studied at the university.

"I think so." Sebastian looked like any girl's dream. A muscular body from years of training, dark blond hair but a little lighter than mine, tall and a great personality.
