The next day came and I flew through my classes. Waiting anxiously for the bus ride home. The day ended and I hopped on the bus. Aria sat down next to me. My heart was racing and I was scared. Scared that she would say no. What if I fuck up? What if I stutter or have a panic attack? We were half way to the bus stop. What should I say?!
"Hey, Aria... Can I ask you something?" I asked nervously.
"Yea. Of course." she smiled. I got butterflies when she smiled. It was time to man up and ask her.
"Would you want to... Go out with me?" I asked. Thoughts flooded my mind. Oh god she's gonna say no. Please don't say no. Please don't fuck this up.
"Yes. Of course!" Holy fuck it worked!! Oh my fucking god!! I was finally happy again. I don't have to worry about sitting alone while other people are happy. I can finally break the chain of being alone for the past one and a half to two years. I smiled at her and she smiled back. She didn't fake it. She really was happy. Thank you, so much, Aria. I thought to my self. When I got home I jumped into my pajamas, jumped on my bed and screamed into my pillow from excitement. My mom heard me and looked at me
"Jaycee? Are you ok?" she asked with a concerned look on her face. I looked up grinning from cheek to cheek. I laughed and looked at her.
"I haven't been this happy for about 2 years mom. I'm literally perfectly fine." she smiled at me and walked away. I laid my head down and closed my eyes. Everytime I closed my eyes, Aria's beautiful face popped into my mind. Her eyes, her smile, the small, cute dimples she had when she smiled or laughed. She was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I fell asleep that night with thoughts of her in my mind and a smile on my face. Not caring about anything else that was going on in the world. Little did I know that that was a mistake on my part. I was so happy that I forgot about my temporary risk to my life. I woke up with a sharp pain in my side and I told my mom. We went down to the doctors office. My doctor checked me out and with the magic of medical science found out what the problem was. I was a couple hops, skips, and jumps from rupturing my spleen and bleeding out. I had to stay calm for the next three months before I can finally be active.
I remember telling her about my spleen about a week or two after we started dating. I saw the worry in her eyes and I told her I would be fine. I hugged her and held her in my arms for a bit. The worry was still there in her eyes but it was feint. I knew that she didn't want anything bad happening to me.
Sorry for another short chapter-jcsf
