Two-sided

Chapter 33: hospitals and escape artists

The guy was shooting basketballs. Vanessa whipped her hair, Terry fluttered her eyelashes... nothing. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

I walked up to the guy, hearing Vanessa and Terry yell "what are you doing?!?" I tapped the guy in the shoulder and smiled real big.

He looked down at me, him being so tall. He smiled at me. "hi, me and my friends have to practice for a flag football. Well we could use some practice with a buff guy like you."

I rested my hand on his arm and he flexed. Oh god what am I doing?! I thought. I squeezed his arm "Wow you work out?" I said resisting from cringing.

He nodded and Terry grabbed a football "We ready?" She winked at him and he led Terry and Vanessa to the field I stayed back saying I needed to get something from the car.

I was about to throw up, it didn't feel right playing this dude, pretending like I don't care about someone else.

I miss Jc, I miss Ethan, I miss Ally, Ryan, Andrea, Even kian! I miss my life and wearing real pants instead of these that how the lining of my underwear if I walk too fast.

I laid down in the front seat. "I need to get home..." I looked around for the keys. I reached over to the glove box and heard a click. "Huh?" I looked down and saw the parking lock was removed.

"FUCK!" I jumped out of the car feeling an instant pain. All I remember was turning back and seeing the car hit the side of the large gym.

I covered my mouth, but as my hand hit my cheek I felt something warm and watery on my hand. "What?" I said as I felt my body shake.

I had blood on my hands, knee, back of my thigh, and feet. I fainted.

I felt my whole body tremble and shake and I was unable to move, talk, or anything! I could see faint flashes of what was going on around me, but not enough to know what was going on.

*a few hours later*

I woke up under a bright light and sprung up in panic "No! Please let me go!" A man with a white coat eased me down.

"It's okay, you aren't in the basement, your in the infirmary..." he said fluffing my pillow. I looked around at my body to see bandages and creams on the cuts.

"A-am I gonna be okay doc?" I asked as tears fell down my face. "You be fine. Danny had us out this cream on you that will fade away your scars in two weeks. Just apply this to the scarred area every morning everyday for two weeks okay?" He smile and set it next to me on a table.

"I'll be back, I'm going to update him on your well being and you may be on your way in a short 15 minutes." he smiled grabbed a clipboard and left.

I laid down comfortably on the fluffy pillow. "Why do I keep getting hurt? I'm just a regular person with a regular life, why am I stuck here in an almost insane asylum?" I asked myself

"I wonder that everyday." I looked up at the door and saw Terry clenching her notepad to her stomach, it seems like that thing is attached to her or something, I never see her without it.

I smiled partly "Hey." I said. She came over as sat on the side of my bed "How you feeling?" She said glancing at the cuts.

"I'm good... how did the mission go?" I asked. "Not so well... Danny was so mad, so if I were you I would act extra hurt." we both laughed.

Then we heard footsteps. "Eek gotta go!" She ran out dropping her notepad "Wait you forgot your--" the footsteps were too close. I stuck the pad under my pillow and laid down.

I took Terry's advice and pretended I was in extra pain.
Danny entered with a few balloons a teddy bear flowers and a get well soon card.

I sat up "Hi, Danny..." I said. "Hey how you feeling?" He asked I put on some slippers and slipped the notepad in my shirt. "I've been better." I faked a smile.

He smiled back and walked me to my room. "Well I'm sure you'd like to rest tonight and we will begin our time Saturday." he winked and kissed my cheek.

He placed the balloons, teddy bear, flowers and card in my room. "I gotta take the other girls out to dinner since I missed date night last time. I want you to get some rest. The main phone is down stairs, call me if anything goes wrong and my staff is off for the night so the house is all yours." I smiled slightly.

Before he left he came back and said "Are you sure you'll be okay?" Asking like a worried parent "I'll be fine... I'm just really tired. Go out and have fun. I'll call you when I wake up from my nap." I kissed his cheek to convince him.

He nodded and left. A few minutes later Terry, Vanessa and Danny yelled bye to me and took off in fancy truck.

I spit out all the Danny germs that could've lingered through my lips. I know childish but still.

I went downstairs to watch a movie instead when I walked passed the closet. I looked at the key lock and smirked. "Ready or not, escape I come." I cracked my knuckles and got down to business.
