The Teacher

Chapter 15: First Fight

I pull into the McDonald's parking lot and wait for Jake. A few minutes later I see his car blasting into the parking lot. He quickly rushes out of his car and looks for mine. He spots me and immediately jogs over. I unlock the car doors and he jumps in the passenger seat.

He looks at me full of concern before saying "Oh Mel."

My eyes fill with tears as I lean over and crash into his arms and his chest as I fall apart for the second time.

"It'll be okay, maybe not now but it'll get better." He says as he tries his best to console me.

As I calm down and look at him I say "I'm not so sure."

His eyes widen in mild shock "What do you mean?"

I sigh "My dad might not make it. The doctor said it would take nothing short of a miracle, he said even if dad did survive he's in for a rough recovery."

He shakes his head "I'm so sorry Mel."

"Yeah." I say quietly "Me too."

He looks at me "Mel, what can I do?"

I look at him, then down at his lips, I slowly lean in and kiss him, he returns it. I don't know what I was thinking, I needed to feel something, anything besides this hurt. Suddenly I'm broken away from him. He looks at me his eyes full of sympathy.

"Mel, that's not a good idea."

"Jake I need to feel something, ANYTHING that isn't this black abyss of hurt and wishing this weren't happening! I'm numb! I need to feel something!"

"Melinda, this is not the way! When you're feeling this way I'm not going to take advantage of you!"

I stop and stare, "He feels like he'd be taking advantage?"

"No, Jake, no. You wouldn't be, at all."

"Well, I'm still not doing it. Not until you've calmed down. And gotten into a better mood."

"Okay, then just go I'm going to get my mother and I something to eat then."

"Melinda-"

"Go!" I say cutting him off.

He gets out of the car, and walks back to his own, get in, and leaves. Then I break once again. Once I calm down I go through the drive through, get some food and leave.

I make the drive back to the hospital, and the whole time I'm thinking about what i said to Jake, I was a bit rude kicking him out of my car like that, especially since I came onto him, and he was just trying to be a good guy. I make note to apologize for that later, as I pull back into the hospital lot.

Then make my way back into the building, I make my way back up to the sixth floor, and give my mother food as I try to eat as well.

I look over at my mother who looks almost broken "Any change since I left?"

She stays looking down "None."

"Oh.." I say. Her and I are not sure what to say we don't know enough about this yet, to discuss anything.

We eat in silence, then I decide I need some rest and to make up with Jake. I kiss my mom on the cheek tell her I'm going home and to call me if anything changes or if she needs me, then I go.

I make it to Jake's and pull in the driveway, I see another vehicle I don't recognize in the driveway. I get out of my car not turning it off in case I need to make a break for it. I walk to the front door and listen with my ear up to the door. Hear what sounds like moaning and I run off.

I didn't get ahold of Jake for the remainder of the night. He didn't get ahold of me either. But I'm not some toy or an idiot I will not be played or treated like I'm an idiot. Maybe if he contacts me tomorrow we'll talk and I'll probably leave him if he's doing what I think he's doing. Unless he has a good explanation for what I heard. If not I'm done because that's how I feel as of now. My dad is in the hospital, I'm in love with my English teacher who very well may be cheating, I just can't handle this right now.

I make my way home and take a shower while I cry, over everything. My tears just getting washed away in the shower, my mother isn't home yet, if she even will be, and I can be as upset as I want. All I really need is Liz, but she's so upset with me I doubt I'll hear from her. Even if I did reach out.

After my shower I grab some dinner and then crawl into bed hoping for Sunday to be better before I deal with the hell that will be school Monday if what I heard turns out to be what I thought.

I drift into a peaceful sleep, hoping tomorrow will be better.
