Chapter four: Don't Blame Me

"OMG where is she?!" Ashleigh cried as she ran towards us.

"Ash relax, she's in the ICU" I looked at her emotionless.

I don't really like the vibes of the hospital.

Sick people gross me out.

They are nothing but a liability who are a waste of money.

We're sitting outside the ICU waiting for Ashley to wake up.

"Is she okay?" Ashleigh asked.

"Yes she's okay Ashleigh, she was just hit by a car... Nothing bad's gonna happen to her... What do you think?" I frowned

"I'm just concern okay?" She glared at me.

"Can you use a little more brain with that concern?" I smirked.

"Cal's already tracing the car through the CCTV" Jake walked towards us and sat next to me.

"CCTV? There's a CCTV?" I looked at him in shock.

I'm also actually scared because I was the one who chased the bitch.

My heart beats faster than I could ever imagine.

This can't be happening to me!

I can't be in jail.

I won't survive it!

I'm too fancy!

"Yeah there is" Jake looked at me.

"What did you see?" I asked trying not to look guilty.

It's like everything around me stopped.

I'm so nervous.

But I can't let him know that I am.

I can't look guilty.

But because I'm so nervous my eyes started tearing up.

"You were chasing Ashley" Jake sighed.

And my heart dropped.

This is it... I'm going to jail...

"I-" I stuttered.

I can't even speak, how am I gonna defend myself in this situation.

"Ashley can be stubborn sometimes. I once chased her down a hill because she started running when drunk" Jake looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Jake"

"I'm so glad you were there, I know you tried to stop her, but she was too drunk and bicycles don't have headlights... The truck must not have seen her" Jake cried.

I sigh of relief came out of my mouth.

"I was so concerned" I pretended to cry.

"You saw what happened, and we saw how you froze... You must be in shock" Jake looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"I was yeah" I lied and just nodded at him.

"Gosh... I'm so sorry Cam" He took my hand and held it tight.

My heart raced again but this time because I'm in love.

Jake held my hand and I'm so here for it so I continued playing the victim.

The door of the ICU opened and Ashley's parents came out to meet us.

They looked like a mess and I really get that.

But to be honest, the universe did them a favor.

Cal's husband looked at me and then cried.

"Are you okay Sweetie??" He looked at with concern in his eyes.
