And much like that, about a month had passed in the blink of an eye. Kira would keep me company when Sammy would be gone for school, and mom would visit when work would let her. But I think she's being pressured by the board after missing so much work after staying with me so long while I was in a coma.
Damon, who I was hesitant to get close to based on who he was in my past life… But the more he came around, the harder it was to see him as 'The Demon' instead of just Damon. The guy helping me study, a smart but socially awkward college kid with a sick sister in the hospital.
Today was supposed to be a special day, my arm cast was supposed to come off in favor of a brace… But of course, my nosy Aunt Flo had to visit… The pain was grueling, the cramps churning up my insides like a blender on high. And of course, with everything going on I completely forgot to ask mom to slip me some tampons from her purse.
I was in so much pain that I didn't even hear Kira enter the room before she exclaims in terror, "Oh! God! Lance! You're bleeding! What happened?!" She shouts, rushing to my side as quickly as she could given her condition before I can convince her otherwise.
"It's nothing, just a torn stitch, I'm fine!" I say trying to keep her away, but it's too late as she gets closer she recognizes the all to familiar scene and smell.
"Wait… You're-" Kira starts to say before I interrupt.
"Shut the door and help me to the bathroom. I'll explain in there… Please…" I pitifully ask trying to keep the pain from overwhelming me.
"Sure…" Kira says, closing the door behind her and doing her best to help me cross the room and into the bathroom where she helped me into a change of clothes and dug a spare pad in mom's bag that she left behind before Kira helped me dispose of the sheets before forcing me to lay in bed with a heating pack on my side. As she waits patiently for my cramps to die down so I can explain myself.
"So… You're a girl? Does Sammy…" Kira starts to ask for the question dies in her throat.
"No… Only my Mom and my personal Physician know the truth… And now you… And I'd appreciate it if we kept it that way." I say looking her in the eyes.
"Why though? Why would you need to-" Kira begins to ask before I cut her off with a growl.
"Because my bastard of a father!" I shout before sighing and removing my colored contact lens revealing my heterochromatic eyes.
"Wait…" Kira says while studying my features, before it clicks, "You're 'his' daughter?!" She exclaims in disbelief.
"Technically he knows me as his bastard son. My sperm donor, Viktor Ivanovich… Head of the Quantum Conglomerate." I correct her.
"But… Why?" Kira asks still confused as to why I'm crossdressing.
