Scoring Love

Eye For An Eye

I slowly open my eyes and I see a blurry ambulance and I hear loud sirens. Look around my and I see Shawn rubbing Topanga's back as she cries.

I'm then hoisted into the air and into the ambulance on a stretcher. My eyes are barely open so all I see is a petite figure sit down next to me. I hear crying and I feel something grasp my hand.

I open my eyes fully and see the most beautiful girl in all of existence. I smile at her as she puts her head on my chest. I feel my shirt getting wet as her tears stain my shirt.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me you wouldn't have needed to go to the park when that drunk moron was on the road. I know you can't hear me because you're unconscious but I... I love you."

I chuckled a little giving myself away. She sat up and cleared her throat. "I'm glad your ok." She said trying to sound cool. I opened my arms and she laid down on top of me.

"I just need to know one thing Topanga, if you were pissed with me before, why are you all lovey dovey now?"

"Love." Topanga said rubbing her head against my chest. "But, Topanga, do you love me or are you in love with me?" Man that sounded really smart!

We finally arrived at the hospital. The doctors wheeled me in real fast. "You need immediate surgery. You have about 11 screws in your leg from the crash." As they pushed me into the room I heard someone running behind.

Just before the door shut I heard the best  words of my life, "I am in love with you!"

After the operation I had a shooting pain in my leg. I looked down and saw a big red cast. The door opened a crack and a head poked in, "Can I come in?" I look towards the door. "Yeah." I said half asleep.

I move over in the bed and pat the spot next to me, signaling for her to lay down next to me.

She laid down and I was shocked at what happened next.

She climbed on top of me and started to kiss me passionately. And damn, that girl can kiss!

I kissed back and then I heard the door fly open.

"Topanga Lawrence!" A booming voice came from the direction of the door. She pulled away and looked up. "Dad..."

"Let's go we're going home right now!" She looked back at me with eyes that said 'help me'.

The next day at school, the second I walk in with my crutches and cast, Shawn hurries up to me. "Cor, what happened to Topanga?" My eyes widened as I cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He told me to follow him as he practically ran towards the girls bathroom.

He opened the door and I saw a hooded figure standing in front of the mirror. "Topanga?" I didn't get a response. I noticed a container of beige make up next to her. Topanga never, and I mean never wore make up. Ever.

I tapped her shoulder almost dropping my crutch. I saw her reflection in the mirror. Under the single coat of make up I could make out something purple.

She had a black eye.

"Topanga, babe, who did this to you?" I said concerned. "I like when you call me babe." She said as she grinned and put her arms around my neck. She then pecked my lips, then looked down. "It was my dad. He hit me as my punishment for making out with you."

Shawn looked at Topanga and said, "You know he's gonna do something about it right?"

She nodded as I pulled her hood down. She immediately pulled it back up. I frowned, as I put an arm around her.

Wait till I give this Jedediah a piece of my mind.
