I was on my way to the grocery store to pick up a few things I needed at my dorm. I was driving pretty smoothly.
I stopped at a red light as I am supposed to, when the light turns green and I start to go. A dark red SUV was coming full speed next to me. It hit my car on the passengers seat.
The impact was rough, hard and quick. My car started rolling over, and over and over till I was upside down on the side of the road. I don't remember anything much after that.
I remember alot of noise. An ambulance siren. A bunch of screams and talking. And flashing lights of different colours.
I wake up. It's bright, very bright. I try to adjust my eyes to the light. I look to the side and see a man. He looked stressed. His leg is shaking rapidly and he has his face in his hands.
He looks up to see that I am awake. "Oh my goodness I am so glad you're okay." He says standing up. I didn't recognize this person.
He had black hair. Pale skin. He was muscular which suited his sharp jaw line. He had good sense in clothing. He had bright eyes. They were black but they lit up when you look directly at them.
"Do I know you?" I ask trying to get up but struggling in pain. "No, I was.. um.. actually the person that hit your car." He said scratching the back of his neck.
"Why are you here?" I question looking at him in his eyes. "To make sure I didn't kill you." He said, he sounded serious.
"Oh..." I said trying to stand up from my bed. He grabbed my arm lightly. "Stay in bed, I'll call the doctor." He said helping me back on the bed.
He then left. A few minutes later he came in with the doctor. The doctor walked in with a clipboard. "I'm afraid you have a fractured color bone. Yet it could've been much worse, you're lucky." The doctor stated. I looked at his badge. 'Dr Philips.' It sounds smart to be honest. I trust him.
The doctor subscribes me with 2 bottles of pills. He said I should take 2 once a day for atleast 6 months.
I will be in this brace for atleast 4 months and will need therapy to be able to move it properly again. Thanks guy who is currently staring at me for some odd reason.
The doctor leaves the room and the guy stands up. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah definitely, it's just a broken color bone and probably months of therapy, no big deal." You can hear the sarcasm from a mile away.
"I'm sorry." He said generally sympathetic. "I was just messing with you, it's okay." I said staring into his eyes. "Oh good... my names Joon by the way. Joon-woo." He said stretching out his hand for a handshake shake. I just stare at the hand. My left arm was in a drip and my right was in alot of pain. "Oh yeah, you can't- sorry." He said taking his hand back.
"Now, what happened with my car?" I ask. "Yeah, about that. I'm broke and do not have insurance, so I can't afford to fix your car." He said while rubbing is elbow roughly. "Oh.. well I guess we'll have to send this to court." I said with a 'sorry' look 'but I don't care' look aswell. "Wait what?!" He shouts with wide eyes. "I can't go to court, I'm broke as hell." He said he started rapidly walking back and forth across the room.
I start laughing at the sight. "You really can't take a joke huh?" I Say while trying not to cry. "Haha, very funny." He said sarcastically while rolling his eyes.
"We'll just have to find a way to make enough money. I'm pretty sure your car is broken aswell, so we'll make money for both." I say while shrugging in pain. "How exactly will we make the money.. and where?" He asked while sitting down on the couch which was next to my bed.
"Strippers. Male strippers." I sat with a straight look on my face. He saw that I had no facial expressions and most likely thought I was serious. "I-" He began trying to find the right words. "I'm kidding, relax. Wow I must really teach you how to properly take a joke." I say laughing at his facial expression.
"Will you ever stop making jokes?" He asked laughing along with me. "Nope." I said with a grin on my face. "Never."
We laugh and talk for a little longer. It starts getting late and it's time for him to leave. "Can I get your number, to you know, catch up and stuff?" He asked while taking out his phone from his back pocket. I take his Phone and put my number in. He thanks me and hugs me. I hug him back, I was suprised but enjoyed it. He was warm and smelt like dandelions in spring. I definitely need that cologne.
Chapters will be short as I am planning on making quite a few. Thank for understanding and reading this story.
