Tragic Harmony

Chapter eighteen

When we opened the door Jason handed me my crutches and we went our separate ways. I saw noah leaning up against my locker.

“Hey Noah.” I smiled sweetly at him.

His eyes widened. “Ali! Where were you in art? Did something happen?”

“Oh well the elevator got stuck so me and Jason had to wait for the technicians to fix the problem.”

He shook his black hair out of his eyes. “Are you guys like friends now?”

“Uh yeah I guess.” I smiled to myself.

“Oh.” He frowned.

“Noah, is something wrong?” usually he was so happy.

He grabbed my hand. “Look Ali Jason is one of my best friends, but I know how he is. He is a player….I just don’t want you to get hurt. I care about you Ali.”

I put my hand on top of his. “Thanks Noah, but you don’t have to worry about me and Jason. We are just friends. Nothing more.”

He gave me a smile. The rest of the day passed quickly. I crutched to Luke’s car with a smile on my face.

“Good day? ”Luke asked helping me into the car.

“Surprisingly, yes. Great day.”

“Well I’m glad.

“I have my doctor’s appointment today by the way. I’m hoping I can ditch the crutches.”

“Do you want Emma to take you? I could just take you in now.”

“No Emma can take me. I have been wanting to talk to her.”

“Ok”

We pulled into the driveway and Luke slipped out and Emma took his place.

“How was school sweetie?”

“It was actually good. I mean after being at school for a couple of weeks I’m FINALLY having a good day.”

“Does a boy have anything to do with that?” Emma sent me a knowing smile.

“No. Why would you think that?”

“Ali I’m a mom. I know that smile. So what’s his name?”

“Ok, don’t freak out because it’s not what you think. Jason….from The Gaze.”

“What!? Do you like him? I thought that…..”

“Emma I said don’t freak out! Listen, we are friends. Sorta….I know what happened, but I’m trying to live in the moment. Forget the past.”

“So you two are friends? What about the other band members.”

“Well, Noah and I are friends too. He is really sweet. Jack and Finn are great too…..Jason well he is a total jerk. He is annoying, cocky, arrogant, and most of the times he is just an asshole, but today I saw a different side of him.”

I told her about the elevator and the roof.

“And you’re sure you don’t like him?”

“Positive!”

“Okay then…..”

“Emma I’m serious.”

“I know”

I rolled my eyes.

We made it to the doctors and my day got even better. The doctor said I could ditch the crutches but I had to wear this full mechanical brace thing on my leg…..OH well! Its totally worth it!

I limped out of the doctor’s office and did a spin.

“Woot woot! I can walk! Sorta……”

“You know what you should celebrate! Why don’t you have a party? I and Robb are going away this weekend….If you promise me you’ll be safe I think it would be a great idea!”

“You do know letting teenagers plan a party pretty much means alcohol, sex, and bad decisions right?”

“Yeah…but as long as the alcohol is limited, protection is used, and everything is cleaned up by Sunday…..I think life will move on.”

“Will Robb be okay with this?”

“It will be fine.”

“Thanks Emma!”

“No problem!”
