Just a waitress (a jace Norman fanfic)

Chapter 22- hurt

Christine's pov
I woke up and for once I felt okay. The schedule on my door said that I had breakfast at 9:00, workout at 11:00, lunch at 12:00, meeting with the doctor at 2:00, then group meeting at 3:00, dinner at 6:00, back in room at 8:00. "Okay Christine, take it one minute at a time." I said to myself. I got up and showered, then I put on daisy flowered leggings, a black t shirt that said "epic weekend," and black converse. By the time I was done it was 8:45. I left and went to the cafeteria for breakfast. It was french toast and sausage. I got my plate then found Lucy. "What's up buttercup?" I said sitting down. "Well hello miss sunshine." Lucy joked. We talked for a while until she just stopped and stared at something behind me. I was confused until I turned around and saw him. A boy walked in and got food. He was HOT. He had tan skin and light blue eyes and brown hair that stuck up in the front. He looked about my age and like he just walked out of a Hollister ad. We both stared jaws dropped until he started to walk towards us. I quickly got it together and smiled when he looked at me. "Is this seat taken?" He asked. I was waiting for Lucy to say the thing she said to me about only by air. But she still had her jaw dropped. "Only by you!" I said politely and he sat down. "I'm Theron. I got here two days ago." I nodded. "I'm Christine Valentine. I got here yesterday. Um Lucy?" I waved my hand in her face. She seemed to come out of a trance. "Um... Me Glecshire! I mean, I Lucy! I mean..." She stuttered. "That's Lucy Glecshire." I tried to save her. "Does she always sound like that?" Theron whispered to me. "Oh no! She's quite normal! I mean she's not average. I mean... Oh never mind!" Theron laughed like he thought we were messing with him. So we smiled and went with it. He kept staring at me. Lucy kept staring at him. I kept staring at my food. This is so weird. We all started talking eventually and soon everyone had relaxed. When breakfast was over I cleared my plate and went back to my room with Lucy. The minute got we there I pulled her and started gushing. "Omg you like him!" She looked surprised then humiliated. "What?! No I don't! That's insane!" "Oh please I know the look! And you were totally checking him out!" I nearly shouted. "Yeah and he was totally checking you out! Not like I blame him the way I sounded!" I knew it was true. He had been staring at me the whole time. We sat down on my bed. "Well I don't like him and he can't have me so he's totally available for you!" Her face got even more sad. "Great I'll be a perfect second choice." I realized how awful I sounded. "Lucy-" "no it's okay. People like me don't get people like him. People like you do." I wasn't sure what to say. If Theron liked me I can't change that and don't know how to not make Lucy sound like the second choice. I looked out the window. "Look. I'm not going to lie. There's a good chance he likes me. But if I tell him that I don't like him then hopefully he'll move on from me and he'll see you for the awesome person you are." She started to look up. "Do you really think there's a chance he could like me?" "Totally! And if he doesn't then he's an idiot and it's his loss!" She seemed better so we hung out and played wii until I had to go exercise. I put on a pair of blue shorts and a white t shirt. I went downstairs and into td exercise room. I started in the treadmill and ran for 15 minutes. Then I saw a volleyball game being organized so I couldn't resist joining. I went over and was put on a team. Then I found myself face to face with Theron. "Valentine? Didn't take you for the sports kind of girl!" He called. "Oh yeah? And what kind of girl did you take me for?" I questioned. "I don't know. More of the stay inside and read kind of girl." I guess it really is obvious. But I decided to be sassy. "Well then your going to be awfully disappointed when I destroy you!" I said crossing my arms. "Is that so?" He smiled. "Your going down. Prepare to eat defeat!" I said and spun around to get the ball to serve. "Game on!" He said. I made a perfect serve to him which he returned with a set. It was my perfect opportunity to spike so I did and it smashed into the ground on the other side of the net. I gave him a sly smile and said. "How's that defeat tasting?" He smirked. "Yeah yeah enjoy it now. I'm playing for real now. No holding back!" I got ready. "Oh don't worry I won't. Don't blame me if you pull something!" I have no idea where this new confidence is coming from but it felt great. The ball continued back and forth over the net. The score would lean one way then the other. We laughed and had fun. Then he spiked it once and me and someone else went for it which led to me sliding and my ankle twisting. I hit it over one last time which was the winning point then I crashed to the ground. I tried to stand up but it really hurt. Theron ran over to my side. "Christine! You okay? I'm sorry. Can you stand up?" "No it's okay. And I think I can." I tried to stand but fell to the ground in pain again. "Ow! I can't stand." Theron then swooped me up in his arms and carried me out of the gym. He's so strong! Wait! What are you thinking? Your letting another boy carry you? What about jace? But are we even still together? We got to the office and he put me on an observing table. "What luck you hurt yourself in the hospital?" He laughed. It turns out I sprained my ankle and have to be on crutches for a week. After that Theron went to lunch with me. He grabbed a plate for me. "Really it's okay you don't have to. I can handle myself." I said and he shook his head. "Yeah sure you can." Then he put stuff on the plates for me and him and we want and found Lucy. When she saw me she looked concerned. "Christine! What happened?!" Then she saw Theron helping me. I realized that she must feel crushed seeing him getting close o me. But what was I supposed i to do? Not let him help me? Struggle by myself just to please Lucy? She'll just have to get over this. We all sat down. "Well mr. Genius here nearly killed me with a volleyball." I joked. He rolled his eyes. "You fell. I told you I wasn't holding back!" We laughed but Lucy didn't understand. Later I went to the doctor for my one on one session which was nothing interesting. Then I found Lucy and we walked to group session together. We sat down. Then of course Theron just had to show up and rush to sit next to me. I already get the feeling that Lucy's pissed at me and this does not help. The meeting started and we all had to go around and say why we were here. When the time came Lucy said her thing and I said mine. Then Theron stood up. "Hi. I'm Theron Robinson. I am here because it all started with bullying. Then it turned into drugs. Then it turned into too many drugs. What I did was wrong and I'd like to believe that I'm on the road to recovery." Lucy looked so sympathetic for him. But he only noticed me. We talked for a while. Then when the meeting was over we all decided to go to Theron's room. Lucy had to do something so she would meet us there. Theron and I walked back together and went to his room. We went in and his room looked just like mine. I sat on his bed and he sat next to me. "You want to watch a movie?" He asked. I nodded and he put on rio two. After a few minutes I felt tired so I sat back and leaned on Theron's shoulder. He held me then I sat up. "Thanks for helping me today." I said. "It's no problem considering it was my fault you got hurt." I laughed a little and before I knew it out lips were together. I had no idea how long we had been like that but I heard a gasp behind me. I quickly pulled away. Lucy was behind me looking horror stricken. I immediately knew that everything was wrong. I love jace not Theron and I just hurt possibly my best friend. She didn't say a word. She just ran out crying. Theron had no idea. "No no. This so all wrong! I have a boyfriend! At least I think I do! This is all wrong! I can't do this! Im sorry!" I jumped up and ran back to my room. I locked the door and crashed onto my bed and cried. I just hurt Lucy. The one person who understood me. She'll never forgive me. And I cheated on jace. He didn't even go through my mind. I kissed another boy even though I should love jace. The one person who always loved me and stayed faithful to me. And the worst part... was that I enjoyed it.
