Bumpy | Dakota Brooks

Chapter 9

Lex's pov

As I reached the end of the hallway, Dakota comes out of his room and purposely bumps into me.

"Sorry I didn't realize I was able to bump into whores in my own house." He says.

"Is this all you're gonna do now? Call me names and fight with me afterwards? Don't you ever get tired of that? Because I do." I say with a tear escaping my eye.

He sees my tear and his facial expression changes. He looks like he's done something wrong and I walk back to my room.

I shut the door and go back into my bathroom looking for the blade once again.

I find it and sob in the corner of my bathroom holding it against my wrist waiting for myself to end it.

I finally man up and make deep cuts in my wrist. I make three of them and start to feel dizzy. All I see is black.

Dakota's pov

I feel bad for doing that to her. I saw her crying walking up to her room and shutting the door. I guess I should say sorry.

I reach her door and it's surprisingly unlocked. I walk inside and she's not there. I look around and to see if she's hiding.

Nope.

I look at her window and its shut. She couldn't have gotten out. I hear soft cries and look at her bathroom.

I slowly walk over and try to hear better. It's very quiet now.

I try to open it and it's locked of course.

"Lex look I'm sorry for all the things I've done to you. I didn't know it would hurt your feelings. Can we just start over?"

No reply.

"Lex? Are you there?"

"Cmon I heard you in there I know youre there."

I then hear and metal drop.

I instantly know that she cut herself and must've cut way too deep.

"LEX!" I say trying to slam through the door.

"LEX WAKE UP!" I keep trying to kick the door too but nothing works.

"Dakota what's wrong?" My mom says in back of me.

"LEX. SHES IN THERE. I THINK SHE CUT HERSELF TOO DEEP AND PASSED OUT!"

She tries to kick it too and we finally get it down.

I see a pool of blood around lex laying at the corner of her bathroom.

What have I done.

I rush over to her and tell my mom to call 911.

I bend down and pick her up.

"PLEASE WAKE UP. I DIDNT MEAN FOR ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN. I JUST WANTED TO MESS WITH YOU. I DIDNT KNOW YOU TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. PLEASE WAKE UP LEX, I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE!" I say sobbing as I see a blade right next to her. I cry harder and harder knowing what I've done to her.

The paramedics come and take her out of my arms. They carry her and rush to their truck. I follow them and see them put her on something to lay down on and take those two things to shock people to wake them up.

I keep watching and it's not working on her.

They put her in the truck.

"CAN I GO PLEASE!" I say

"YES NOW GET IN!" A woman says to me.

I get in and they close the door behind me. I look at lex and feel like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.

We get to the hospital and they rush her into a room. I get blocked out from going into the room and they make me sit down on the chairs near by.

I can't stop crying and put my head in my hands.

I pull it together and the doctor comes out.

"You know her?"

"Yes I do I'm her......I'm her, boyfriend."

"Okay well looks like she lost a lot of blood. But, good news is that she woke up and we are giving her more blood that she needs back inside her body." He says.

"YES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING HER, CAN I GO INSIDE THE ROOM?"

"You sure ca-"

I run inside the room and stop when I see all the wires again on her body from last time.

She looks at me then looks away.

"Lex. Look I'm so sorry I-"

"Please leave Dakota." She says softly. Oh my gosh she sounds like an angel.

"Can I just tell you something?"

"You have four minutes."

"Look im extremely sorry for all of this. I never meant to hurt you. I didn't think you would take all the stuff I said seriously. I never wanted you to get hurt. Truth is, I never hated you. It may have seemed like I did, but I didn't. I just wanted to look cool and I know it wasn't the right thing to do. I'm not good at showing my true feelings to someone. So I hide it. With hatred. I hope you can forgive me for all the stuff I've said. It won't happen again. I promise." I say.

"You have one more chance. If you screw it up. I'm done."

"Thank you lex. Do you know when you're getting out of here?"

"My doctor said I will be getting out in the next two days."

"I'll stay here with you if you want?"

"Yeah that'll be nice"

------30 mins later----

"Why would he do that, that's so stupid!" I said while watching the tv in lex's hospital room.

"I mean you could've gone the other way instead! He's gonna get beat up if he goes through there!" She says giggling. That's the cutest giggle I've ever heard.

I look at her and smile studying all her features. Those bright blue eyes you can easily get lost into. That soft flowing brown hair. Her cute little nose. Her perfect smile anyone could fall in love with.

"Why are you starting at me?"

"Ummm... I wasn't-t...i was just... I mean-n" never has a girl ever made me stutter like that before. Theres something different about her.

"It's fine Dakota. Really." She says smiling and giggling while turning back to watch the tv. NO NOT THE GIGGLE AGAIN AH MY HEART.

What's going on with me? I'm Dakota Brooks. I don't fall for girls. Girls fall for me. I can't let myself fall for lex. I just can't.

Or...or maybe I should. Maybe all of this was meant to happen. Maybe I should just give in to her.

We keep watching the tv and she's been really quite. I look at her and she's sleeping. Awwww.

I turn off the tv and decide that I should probably go back to my house now. I'm gonna come back early in the morning to check up on her.

On my way back home, I can't stop thinking about Lex.

What have I gotten myself into?
