The Other Team

thanks for the drive

I wake up naked in Clarissa's bed the next morning. Damn why did I sleep that long. I look over at Clarissa's night stand where I left my phone.

Two voice calls

I click on the voice mail.

This is the recommended emergency phone number, but Susan mayfield is in the hostpital the address will be below.

Damn

"Max, what's wrong." Clarissa rolled over to ask me I was muttering something trying to get my clothes on. "My mom is in the hospital, I need to go" I was trying to get my pants on but I fell flare on my face "ow!" Clarissa still had a bra on. She sat up in the bed. "How are you gonna get a ride" Clarissa always worried about me. Which before I thought was just a friend for a friend.

"I don't know." I said while finishing my other pigtail braid. Her eyes followed me as I went around the room getting my clothes. "Bye!" I kissed her cheek. As i went out the door. I had an idea, Jane.

I could get a ride from her, i scrolled all the way down in my contacts. Like all the way down. I clicked on the contact that saw, Meanie😡. I ignore the contact name and pressed the call button. "What do you want max" Jane answered the phone like she was annoyed. Why would anyone be annoyed talking to me. "Why do you sound so annoyed" I asked Jane in a teasing tone. "Cause I literally like, just woke up" Jane retorted back in an smartass tone in her voice. "Can you give me a ride".

"Oh my god, what did you do now?" I could feel her rubbing her eyes out of frustration already. "My mom is in the hospital, I don't know If she's okay. Please just pick me up at 1st street, please" I was getting more worried. "Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm sure it's fine. It was probably just a false alarm. Okay calm down." Jane tried comforting me. She was really good at confronting me, or just comforting people in general. "Thank you" I say bluntly. Jane stops and says "oh my god, well, is she okay" Jane seems like she's worried too but she hiding it.

"I don't know they didn't tell me" I'm pacing on the sidewalk. I eventually sit down on the curb with my head in hands. But I see Jane stop by the curb. I get in to her car.

"So what hospital is your mom at?" Jane asked. "At Medcare" I answer, "damn, that's like across town, why was your mom admitted there?" Jane asks "Who cares! Just drive!" I yell. "Jeez, sorry" Jane mutters, "sorry" I mutter back. Regardless she's already driving.
