Chapter 2~~A Job?! Part 2

E. Crimson

Today was going on like any other day, except today was my first day of work and my stomach was doing summersaults. I know the job wouldn't be that hard because I've worked at a coffee shop before so it's not like I didn't know how to make coffee. So far in school my grades have been okay. Better than they were before at my old school. Three of my classes were B's and two of them were C's and the other two A's. I left my house to begin my walk to school but I remembered about Nathan,Nick,Andrew, C,and Opal and I should probably walk with them so I don't seem like a weirdo who walks by herself everyday. So I went to the stop sign where we had met the other day,sorta hoping they wouldn't show up. Sure enough they did.

"Hey what's up E.?"
Andrew said greeting me.

"Nothing much really."
I respond trying to smile.

"Is your head better?"
Opal asked me. I haven't really ever heard her talk a lot.

"It's better,want to head that way so we won't be late?"
I lied about my head being better I didn't think it was possible but it's actually worse. Once we got to school I went to my first period class. I couldn't focus,one because it felt like some one was stabbing my head and two, because the girl next to me was flirting with a guy that I've see go to football practice. He was handsome popular and so out of my league. And three, this class is so stupid. I hate English with a passion. After that lame class I felt like I was going to pass out, I was debating between telling some one, just passing out, or deal with it. I guess I did two of those because at lunch C. and I went the the Cherry Blossom tree and ate lunch and talked. I guess he saw me cringe because he asked

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I said rubbing my forehead.

"Are you sure?"
He asked me again.

"No. I want to curl up in a ball and die."
I said exaggerating. He started digging a hole with his hands.

"Not literally,idiot."
I said with a weak smile. And that's all I remember. Next then ya know I was woke up by the beeping of the heart rate monitor. I blinked to make my vision less blurry and right there next to me was C. and I could hear Opal talking to one of the guys worried to death. I turned to look at C.

"Hey I have to go to work!"
I poked him and laughed weakly and he got up and gave me a hug. When he backed away he said

"What the heck was that?! People thought I killed you! I mean I would too if I saw someone coming back from the woods with a body slung over their shoulder!"

"Sorry? Who are you?"
I asked lying but I wanted to see his reaction. His face went blank.

"I'm..uhh..."

"My brother?"
I asked with a smile.

"No."
My smile went away.
I gave him a hug. Then slapped him on the back of the head.

"I know who you are doofus!" He laughed and a blush crossed his face.

"I knew you were lying."

"Sure ya did."
A flash of panic rolled over me.

"Where's my dad."
I asked frantically.

"Out in the hallway,want me to go get him?"
I let out a sigh of relief.

"So he's okay?"
I asked laying back down.

"You know that's really sweet of you,you're in the hospital but your more worried about your dad then anything." He said smiling.

"He just means a lot to me. Oh my gosh. What's day is it today?" I asked him.

"Sunday why?"
He asked confused.

"I'm sorry." Was all I said.

"For what?"

"Not telling you my name..
I was hoping maybe we could meet up later today to talk about it."

"Sure I'd like that. I'm going to leave so you can get ready and so can I."

"Wait. You haven't been here since Friday have you?" He really didn't have to do that.

"Yeah why? I thought something bad happened and I was freaking out so I spent the night since your dad had work." I gave him a hug before he got up and left.

My dad and the doctor came in and told us that I'd have to come her once a week to make sure I'm okay. I apologized to my dad about the medical bill and he said it was okay but I'm going to earn enough money to pay him back I promised him I'd help. So I went home and told my dad I was going to go to the bakery since I've been out of the hospital for a week now and the doctors said not to worry about it.

After I got ready I head to the bakery when I walked in I saw C. holding a yellow rose. Yellow is my favorite color because it made me happy that's sweet of him to think of that. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans.

C. Jerrold

As I saw her approach me I saw she was wearing red high waisted shorts with a Mickey Mouse shirt. When I saw her I stood up and gave her a hug. We sat down at then she began to tell me her story.

"Okay,you know how I live with my dad? Well that's only because my mother passed away when I was nine. Her name was Eloise and I miss her, a lot. And my dad named me and he wasn't the nicest so I live with my step dad. But that's why I go by E. because that's what she called me."

I wanted to ask questions but I kept them to myself. I nodded for her to go on.

"And it stands for...."
