Jenna (IN EDITING)

Chapter Seventeen

Kathleen stormed off, leaving an angered Alex in her ashes. I stared at him to see if steam came through his ears, but all her did was run off into the direction of the parking lot in hopes to catch Katrina. I sat there in disbelief in what just happened. Alex was told of the cheating, not the pregnancy. That's a good thing, I think. Could he really say anything though? He did kiss me.

"She deserves everything she's about to get," I turned to see Jean and Valerie. Jean was actually the one who spoke to my surprise. "Ever since she cut my hair all the way off in grade two, she deserves so much more than she's going to get from Alex."

"She cut your hair?" I looked at her weirdly.

"Yeah, I was growing it for cancer research! And Katrina cut it all off, and got herself suspended!" Jean explained.

"IF YOU THINK," I heard Alex. Crap, if I could hear his voice through the brick walls of the building he was yelling loud. "I'M GOING TO FORGIVE YOU, YOU'RE AN ACTUAL IDIOT!"

I burst through the doors to Alex who was yelling loudly at a frightened Katrina. I tugged on his arm for him to stop, but he kept yelling and yelling. His voice keep getting more timid as he lost it. I tugged once more, but this time it back fired. He accidentally, well I hope it was accidentally, came back and elbowed me in the face. The whole school was in the parking lot now, all witnessing what Alex had done. I began to tumble back attempting to keep my balance. Blood began to gush onto my black shirt, creating a design I didn't request to be added. I finally gave up and fell back, hitting my head off a near by truck.

"Crap, Jenna? Jenna can you hear me?" Alex was in my face now, I could hardly see him because my vision was going black. "Someone go get the nurse!" His yell for help was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

I regained my vision, but it still was as blurry as it would be if I was looking through wax paper. All I could feel was pain in my nose and in the back of my head. Why did all bad things happen to me? I sighed out loud and hoped someone would hear so they could tell me what was going on.

"Sweetheart, you awake?" My good pal the nurse, who I knew I would be visiting more than once this year, asked. I could see her a bit, but I knew it was her due to her voice. "You're at the hospital, you suffered a mild concussion and a broken nose. Your friends are here for you."

My vision finally returned and I could see around me. Alex sat in the corner my head in a padded chair like the ones in my dad's room, Jean stood at the edge with Valerie next to her side. I didn't consider them friends, I hardly knew them. But it's super nice for them to come check in on me. I sat up and watched Alex move quickly to make sure I was okay to do it on my own.

"I'm okay Alex, don't worry!" I assured him.

"I'm just sorry, okay? I didn't mean to hit you. I feel horrible, don't worry I'm suspended... And I'm going to-" He began.

"You're not going to do anything!" I cut him off. "Well nothing but sit your butt in that chair and talk to me. It was friendly fire, you didn't try it. But why are you suspended?"

"Him, Kathleen and Katrina are suspended," Valerie announced. "But it isn't entirely because of you."

"Katrina cheated on me, Jenna, and now she's pregnant!" Alex stated, digging his hands into his palms. "I know you knew. Kathleen told me she saw you in the washroom but didn't tell Katrina because she thought you'd tell me. No hard feelings by the way."

"I'm so sorry Alex, I should of told you as soon as I found out but I couldn't. It didn't feel right either way," I cried.

"Katrina and I are done, but I don't think I could ever trust another girl to be my girlfriend ever," He said, I could tell he was crying. "Now I broke your nose in the process. I feel so stupid and evil at the same time."

I laid my hand on his shoulder, "It's okay Alex, I just said it's friendly fire! Now you man up and give me a hug," I smiled at him.

He got up instantly and hugged me, I seriously hoped I didn't get blood onto his clothes. I smelt him with my screwed up nose and wanted to dig my face into him. He smelt like chocolate, which reminds me, I'm hungry.
