Out Of Her League

where am i?

her. standing there looking directly at me.
"Hey? I texted you...did you not get it?" she asks
"umm sorry i was reading..."
"Oh cool whatcha reading!?"
"umm you know the same ole romance mangas."
"Nice...
there was a little silence that broke the tension but it definitely made it more awkward.
"So I was thinking we should probably talk"
"sorry but i have to go to my next class maybe later?"
"Yes but just so you know you can't avoid me forever"
I needed to go home quick my stomachs been hurting. But why? I didn't really eat much. My mom picks me up.
"Hey honey what's wrong?"
"I don't know..one moment I feel good but today my stomach just hurts"
"Is it cramps or did you eat something bad?"
"Last I check my period was a week ago and I didn't even eat anything so there's no way it's food."
She's quiet for a moment. Maybe she's thinking. I don't know what's wrong with me. Well there's always something wrong with me. I don't know why the universe hates me so much. What did I do to deserve this.
"Honey...when was the last time you ate?"
"Hmm maybe yesterday afternoon. Not really sure though, but why does that matter?"
"No reason I'm taking you to the doctors"
No not the doctors I hate that place. Not because of the shots or all the crying babies or even surgeries. But because of the scale...they have to weigh you. This will just make me even more insecure I can't go. Not yet just let's go another week without eating and then go to the doctors. Hopefully I'll be skinnier by then. How can I go plus my mom will see. She'll be ashamed she probably weighs less than me. Why am I like this. I hate myself.
"Do we really have to go to the doctors? I mean it doesn't hurt that bad really."
"No honey you need to talk with your doctor about your issues"
Issues? What does she mean. I don't have issues, do I? Maybe she meant something else. But there's no way I'm getting out of this one. I'll ask if I can go by myself. But yet the nurses are standing there so close taking notes on EVERYTHING.
We walk in and we take a seat while we wait. I'm panicking what's gonna happen. I start to sweat. What's going on why am I freaking out. My hands start to shake. Jeez how sick am I. I suddenly forget how to breathe and is having trouble breathing. I grab my moms shirt tightly. It feels like I'm falling.
help...me
My eyes close.
Am I dead? Over that, how pathetic of me. I wake up to shinning lights. I'm definitely dead there's no way. I see figures around me hovering over my body. Are these some sort of angels. I AM DEAD WHAT. What about Sage I need her and she needs me what's gonna happen. I fall back to sleep. I finally wake up.
I hear beeping noises. I see a familiar face looking at me then running to the door. This strange man comes in and checks my breathing I guess.
"She should be fine but for now we have to take it slow. Let her rest until she's fully awake"
"Okay doctors thank you" she says
She comes closer to me. I know that face...but her name gosh what's her damn name. I can't be forgetting now. I remember thinking about this girl while I was in whatever I was in.
"Sage? Is that you?"
"Haha sorry no but she is on her way, it's okay you'll be a little slower than usual but you'll be fine. I'm so glad you're okay you got me so worried. For a minute I thought I lost you. Thank god I didn't I don't know what I'd do without you...
"What?"
"Oh it's nothing"
She's sweet but who is she? This is embarrassing how could I forget. She must be my best friend. Her words made me feel warm.
"I'm so sorry I just don't know who you are but you must be someone special since your words are so heart felt"
"Ha well something like that my name is-
