My Strange Love Life

part 6

Time jump to hospital bc i dont know what to say

Im getting xrays to see how bad the break is. After Jeremy got the principle, he didn't much. Just looked at me with his puppy eyes, silently asking for forgiveness. I wasn't going to. Not yet.

Another time jump bc I dont remember how xrays work.

Im laying in the hospital bed with a stitched lip and my sides wrapped. I had 2 broken ribs and my split lip was so bad it needed stitches. After the xray, they gave me this shot that made me fall asleep. 

I hear a gentle knocking on the door. 
"Come in,"  I call out.

A nurse pops her head in. "You have a visitor," she says, "would you like to see him?"
I sigh, pretty sure its Jeremy.
"Yeah, sure."
She looks at me, winks, and says, "he's handsome. He's a lucky boy to be with you."

Huh? What is she talking about? "We aren't--" she leaves before I can correct her.

What the hell?

Minutes later I hear more knocking. "Yes? Come in." I sigh.
A worried Jeremy peaks his head in.  "Wyatt, you're ok! I was so worried!"
"Does a stitched lip and 2 broken ribs look ok? Because I don't think so." I snap, still upset with him.
He looks at me, confused by my hostility.
"Don't look at me like that. You are to blame for this. If you hadn't started bullying me, no one else would have. This is your fault. " I say.
"Wyatt, I-Im sorry..."
"No! I don't forgive you! Get out!"
He looks at me, silently begging.
"Get. Out. NOW." I say calmly but angrily.

He turns and walks out without another word.

I relax in my bed, wincing. How dare he? This is his fault! Why do I like him? Ugh!

A long time jump bc I dont know what to say.

Its time for me to leave. My ribs were healed but by my own stupidity, I fell, faceplanted, and split my lip open again.  So I had to get it sewn shut again. I looked in the mirror. Not gonna lie, my face looked pretty bad ass. With my black eye and stitches on my lip? I chuckled.
My mom comes in. "Ready to leave, hon?"
"Yep! Let's go!" I went to get up.
"Let me get you a wheel chair," a nurse said, trying to be helpful. I look at her, dumbfounded.
"No thanks."

She blinked. "If you're sure."
We walked to the front desk and I waited as my mom filled out paperwork so we could leave. She was taking forever so I grabbed my phone and went to post a video on tiktok. I recorded myself lipscyncing to TV by Billie Eilish. I posted it to "Followers only" and fairly quickly comments and likes flooded my inbox. I put my phone on silent and decided to look at them when I got home.

Time jump to home bc I don't know what to say lmao.

We were finally home. My mom pulled into the driveway and I noticed some one by the door. It was Jeremy. I groaned and said. "Why won't he leave me alone?!"
Mom looked at me and said, "He's in love with you can't you tell? I can see it in his eyes."

I blinked in surprise.  Jeremy, in love with me? No. Not possible. But then why was I suddenly blushing?! I got out of the car and walked towards him. Jeremy looked up, saw me and ran to me. He threw his arms around me and hugged me.
"Thank God you're ok, I was so worried" he said.
Dazed, I said, "yeah I'm fine." Instinctively I tried to hide my face so he didn't see the stitched lip and my black eye. He saw them anyway.
His breathing changed and his eyes went black. "I'll kill him," he said angrily.
"No, the split lip is from me falling again. The black eye is from him though." I said.
We talked for a little bit before Jeremy had to leave.
"See you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yeah I'll be there," I said, smiling slightly.
