You don't have to love me

Uncertain

Is it that felling?

"I'm gone,bye.Tell Pop I say hello!"It was 6:30am and she was stepping food out the door,walking this morning  to the bus stop with a bop in her step,her hands slipped into the pocker of her black Joggers matched with her Blue vans,awhite tee under a Black Jean Jacket.Contiuing her walk to the bus stop she looks through her recent activity and shrugs thinking back to this morning smiling slightly.

-This Morning-

"So,Jade how are you?"Mary asked Jade with the usual loud smile of hers,she was braiding her hiar in the living room waiting for Jason to reach with the coffe from StarBucks.

Jade fidgeting uncomfortably with her hair being braided for the fist time in forever.She nodded a tad bit in response and sucked in a breath realesing that breath slowly,"Dad freaked out yesterday,so I'm still a bit angry at him.He did not do anything wrong!"Se huffed up her cheeks and heard a slight giggle come from Mary,"What?"

"Who is 'he',a boyfriend perhaps?"Mary raised a brow and chuckled,but obviously Jade only heard her chuckle she blushed a bit and shook her head no standing feeling her braid,she shrugged and kissed Mary's cheek walking to the door,"Bye Mo-Mary!".

--Back to whenever--

Jade walked to the bus stop smiling,but frowned dissapointed at how lonely it was,Karlton wasn't here yet,she sat on the bench nd looked at her feet kicking them back and forth with a sigh she begins to play Angry Birds on her phone.

**Karlton's Morning**

"Hey dad,good morning Mrs.Izabeyel.Hey mom and Aubree."Karlton marched downstairs with a raised brow seeing dad's co-worker at the table,he shrugged grabbing some milk and getting a bacon and egg bagel sandwhich and walked out the the house without asking questins.He clutched at his backpac strap and sighed waddling slowly towards the bus stop.

He felt his pocket and mumbled to hiself and pulled out earbuds untangeling the wires and sighing a bit,he stuffed them back into his denim jeans and pulled out his phone resting it in his henley shirt pocket,shoving his hand back inside of his pants  he whistles 'Wiggle' and thinks.

He reaches the bus stop to see Jade,looking angrily at her phone.He made his way over and sat next to her not noticing some of the people starting to appear.He shrugged a bit and cleared his throat tapping her shoulder and winced instantly feeling a warm,hand shaped feeling on his face.

"Ow!What's your problem?!"Karlton asked holding his face with his right hand and holding back those tears of pain."You hit hard!Why did you-"

"Leave me alone.I'm not your friend,now..bye.."Jade said tears already on her face but she had such a monotone voice,hard to believe she was serious.

"Yeah,alright I'll leave.I'll leave you alone,like everyone else around here..you know Jade,I really thought you were different,I even-..I'll leave you alone.See ya'."Karlton stood and shook his head walking toward schhol,he would rather walk than feel the way he does now,burning and cold,he looked at the ground while walking and ignored everything around him cussing at himself without noticing what was around him.

Jade watched him walk way whispering 'I am Sorry' she wiped at her tears and glared at anyone who looked at her,she shot a few insults at people before she looked down and shot up,she looked up to where he was going as he turned a corner,he wasn't even paying attention to where he was going.

Jade grabbed her bacpack and sucked in a breath and walked after him frowning shoving her hands in her pockets humming slightly.

**7:30**

"How did I end up here?...Oh yeah."Karlton sighed to himself sitting on a rock on the edge of the small town named Hio,his hown,current and forever town.He puts his face in his hands and sucks in a breath,one hour since he walked away and his chest was still burning and cold,he shook his head and began to cry softly,he felt like he was being watched so what he did was stand and walk away in a random direction keeping track of time to distract himself.

"Karlton..I'm sorry."She said aloud hoping for a response and her respnse was silence,nothing but her footsteps in the dirt and her soft call-outs to him.She never left the main part of town and was slightly lost,she shrugged a bit as she saw a bit of a figure walking and the sound of cars.A road,and possibly Karlton!She ran tripping over a few branches before she finally caught up to him and widened her eyes scrambling to her feet,she rushed to him to push him out of the way but she was to late..She stood at the side of the road covering her mouth as Karlton looks up and starts to run to her with a confused  look he peered closer and spoke "Ja-",a speeding car bashes him and he flies to a wall and slides down his liquids leaking from him dangerously on edge.Sirens were heard instantly and she was frozen some of the blood on the road,she stuttered his name out at first before hugging herself,silently crying saying over and over 'I-I'm sorry.."

As he was hit he squeaked out her name,crossing the road and stopping was a big mistake because as he was hit he felt every bone that was crack or just plain he felt blood on himself,the world was silent with a buzz as he hyperventilated his vision was fixed on Jade who stood on the other side of the world.He flashed a quick smile at how worried she was before trying to move and his vision went blank,the events plaed over in his head as he felt like he was  being moved,muffled voices was all he heard and he dozed off.

"I'm sorry Mrs.Phillips but I can not allow anyone that young in there.It isn't very safe ma'm."Nurses soothed his mother and his father grew more impatient,his only friend was scared and to be honest many of the doctors were as well,there was a chance that he might die if he didn't have enough blood left in him,if he did then they would be able to cut into him and give more quicker,the lesser the blood the slower chances of recovering.Not to mention that he was in a solemn state when he was hit,meaning his body could very well give up on living 'cause of it.In many states in their country,people have been known to die after even a minor accident and die suddenly,like their minds were tired of the crap it was recieving.

"Ms.Harris,Mr.Phillips has requested for you.Follow me please."Jade blinked and shot up following the doctor glancing over her shoulder at his family who were being broken down into his state.She looked back to the doctor and arrived to Karlton's room,Room 181,Doctor whats his name led her inside,nodding and leaving her for her possible last hello.

"Hey cracker,how ar-"Jade sniffled out being interrupted by a smile on his face,but he didn't respond."Why are you smiling?"She cracked out raising a brow and pulling a chair to his bedside looking around the bland hospital room,silence fell between them as Karlton's laghter broke it,he held his stomach and rested his arm over his eyes and looked over to her with a smirk,"Still want me to leave you alone?"he shook his head and began to sit up slowly,"Lay down Karlton..please?I don't want you to...get hurt..even more."she place her hand on his and sniffled glancing up at his smile,she blushed and removed her hands placing them in her lap and laughing a bit nervously,"I better go.."he frowned a bit but nodded laying back down and closing his eyes,she left and looked at her phone and calling her dad to pick her up.

"Hey pop,come for me....at the hospital..?"
