My parents rushed in and were mad but they both broke down when they saw me connected to wires and bleeding. “What were you thinking Jacob? You had your mother and I worried sick. You didn’t even call to say you made the team. You didn’t call to say you were going out. I was riding around town for about 3 hours when I answered my phone to your coach telling me you were in a car accident. I wasn’t mad until I got to the hospital last night and I discovered you were the one driving. You were the one who was drunk. And the accident was caused completely by your stupidity. You were in a coma for a while and your mother and I didn’t know if you’d ever wake up because you were being dumb. I had my heart set on grounding you for life but your mother said that was unreasonable. We would’ve given our life to keep you safe Jacob. We almost did have to give our lives to keep you safe son and this is how you repay us. I’m highly disappointed.” My mom just keeps looking at the wires. She won’t look me in the eye. I really hurt them. They slowly began to walk out. When my dad stopped and looked at me and said “We will be waiting for you to get out son” I just simply nodded my head and put my pillow over my face.
“Hey man look at least they didn’t tell Scott.” Oh man Scott. I totally forgot about him. How did I manage to forget about my little 8 year old brother?
“I really have to get out of here. Scott needs me right now probably and I can’t be there for him. I’m a horrible brother”
“No you’re not man. But you already know that Scott can’t see you like this. He would be extremely scared then he’d have to know what happened you need some makeup or something”
“Naw man I’m not gay. Boys don’t wear makeup.”
“Movie stars do”
“Oh right because I’m definitely paying for this hospital bill with the millions of dollars that I made from my last movie”
“No need for the sarcasm. Dude come on it’s for your brother and my sister can do it. It’ll look totally natural.”
“Alright fine but I gotta get out of here first” I just went back to sleep with the guys asleep in chairs along my bed. It was about 7pm when the nurse woke me up handing me my discharge papers.
“You can go. Just be a little more careful.” Her voice came down to a whisper “Your way too hot to be banged up like this.” A smile came to my face as I woke up the guys and we left the room leading into the lobby. My parents are gone. That’s just perfect. We hopped into Chris’s car since Alex’s car is destroyed and headed to Alex’s house so that his sister could do my makeup. About 45 minutes later we arrived at a house that was small but nice looking in a pretty nice neighborhood.
“Here we are” Alex said in his coolest voice “Mi casa, come on in” The place was nice, really cramped, but nice. “Shayleigh! Can you come down here? Now?”
“Coming” I heard the most beautiful voice call from upstairs. As she came down the stairs her beautiful hair was brown and silky. Her eyes sparkle like the stars and it seems as if my whole world is slowed down. She’s amazing. I’ve never seen anyone like her before.
“Hi I’m Shayleigh. What’s your name?” Just be cool.
“Hey. My names Jacob”
“Cool. Your marks shouldn’t be too hard to cover up so how about you go upstairs and wash your face and I’ll be up there in a minute.”
“Ok”
Shayleigh’s POV
Wow he’s amazing and plus I think he likes me. But he’s my brother’s friend. I can’t. Or maybe I can. “Don’t even think about it Shayleigh. I know your brother and he might not have seen that look in your eyes when you saw Jacob but I did. I personally think it would be cool for you two to get together but your Alex on the other hand probably won’t think so. I don’t want to tell you what to do but just make the right choices when it comes to deciding between just boys and the one who will always be there for you known as Alex okay?”
“Okay Chris, I have to go get his face fixed up. Bye” Running up the stairs I knew he was right and my head is saying don’t do it but every other part of me is saying do it so I think it only fair that I go by majority rule here. I walked in my room quietly so he wouldn’t hear me come in. There he is in his perfectness. He’s just sitting on my bed looking at his phone. I knocked on the wall as if I was just entering and he looked at me with the cutest half smile ever. “Hey Jacob. Let’s get started” I closed the door behind me. Knowing this is wrong but let me just see how far I can go with him. What harm could it do?
