The Midnight Smile

Saved

"HEY!"

"Oh my gosh! Is she gonna be alright?!"

"Oh please, please open your eyes Jodi!"

"Don't worry, she's breathing!"

I squinted my eyes open. Whats all the yelling for? I looked up to see people over me while I lay on the ground, and a man close to my face smiling, and cheering that I opened my eyes. My heart stops though. It's him. He's the man that ruined everything for me. I felt my panic level start to rise, and a scream was about to burst out of my mouth. But instead of panicing or screaming, I lifted up my fist and punched him square in the nose.

Instantly everyone gasp and it becomes dead silent. But all I could think of was how good of a punch that was and how much that fucking hurt my hand. I get out of my thoughts when I hear familiar laughter. I look up to see Alex crackig up, then making an awkward cough trying to recover from her outburst. I looked back at the man that ruined everything for me, when I noticed it wasn't him. It was a lifeguard that was cupping his nose from the blood that had poured out of it. Oh crap... I put my hand up to my face and smack my forehead, that wasn't the man, that was just a hallucination from my PTSD. I instantly got up and knelt down infront of the man who probably saved my life.

"OH MY GOD, I'M SO SORRY!" I screamed at his face. Not a good move. He backed away from my face and gave me the nastiest look someone has ever gave me before. I do deserve it though. I just punched him square in the nose. And he's bleeding, a lot!

"Oh boy, can someone call the ambulance?" I yelled to the crowed that had surrounded us.

"Yeah, already did when you were passed out" a random guy says. Wait, I passed out. Then it all hit me, I drowned in the water by my brother, but thats impossible because he's...

"The ambulance is here!" Alex yells to me, interrupting my thoughts. I stand up slowly with the help of Alex and turned around to help the guy who I had punched. I walk to him and lower my hand to help him get up. He looks at my hand in disgust and stands up quickly, then starts walking to the ambulance. I shrug and walk over to the ambulance as well, following his tracks.

"Okay sir, can you please come in the back, we will get your nose cleaned," A woman who was about mid 30's asked the guy who I punched. He hopped into the back of the ambulance, then the woman turned to me," ma'am please come to the back aswell so we can do a few check ups on you." I nodded then came to the back. I made eye contact with Alex. She mouthed "phone" I nodded and looked down to see that she had sent me a text message.

Don't worry about me, I'll walk home. If you need anything just call me and I'll be at the hospital right away. I smiled down at my phone.

"Sorry ma'am could you please put your phone away, I need to do some checkups on you" The same woman asked me. I nodded again, then looked at Alex and mouthed "Thank you." She smiled back. The woman closed the ambulance doors and off we went to the hospital.

The ride to the hospital was nothing but awkward. I kept sneeking glances at the guy that I punched, and he kept glarring at me. I learned that his name was Chase Stewart, from him telling the doctor his name. He also explained what had happened. He claimed that he was doing his job, just sitting around and waiting to save lives when he sees me flipping out in the water, so he obviously saves me. But the time he does I'm not councious. When he finally saw me opening my eyes he was cheering to the people that I was alive, until he was punched in the nose by a 'dip-shit.' Yes, I was and still am that dip-shit.

I apologized again but he just scoffed. Jeez, I said I was sorry, this guy can be stubborn. He finally stopped glarring at me when I told him I would pay for the hospital bills.

When we finally reached the hospital we thanked the doctors and went in.

"Just a reminder, you are paying for my hospital bill." Chase reminded me. I sighed but nodded anyway. "Good." He said smugly. I looked at Chase making eye contact with him, and looked down instantly. Oh hot damn he is hot! Why didn't I notice this before? Oh yeah I was too busy freaking out over punching him. But he looked like a total God. He had dark, almost black wavy, messy hair that stopped near the top of his ears. And he had the darkest blue eyes I have ever seen before. They were suck a dark blue I thought they were brown, like my eyes. But his eyes were like the color of the Pacific Sea, beautiful. I started feeling all hot and bothered. I never been this close to a really attractive guy before. I mean yeah, I have been around plenty of guys before, but none of them were ever this hot!

After we got help and were all better, he started walking out the door. I followed him out the door as well. "Hey, where are you going?" He starred at me like I was an idiot.

"Well I'm not staying here, I'm going home." He gave me one last look before turning away and started walking down the sidewalk.

"Oh...yeah.." I whispered. And started walking the other way, back to my apartment, which was a good 20-30 minutes away...
