Am I A Man, Or A Mouse?

Chapter 5

It was my ride home from the hospital that made everything like a slap in the face.

Our car was destroyed. (We took a taxi)

My phone was shattered in the wreck.

My girlfriend was gone.

My mom was gone.

I WANT to be gone.

I wasn't sure how I was going to concur life without either of those people.. I mean, it can't get any worse then this, right?

Wrong. Big time.

When I got home, I was shocked to see three people: Karley, Jacob, and Taylor. All of them friends from my school.

As I climbed out of the car, Karley ran over and hugged me. I winced and she gasped, backing up and saying 'I'm sorry!' A million times. I smirked and told her it was okay. She's weird and way to happy all the time, but, she's nice.

Taylor came over with Jacob close behind.

"Hey Tim!" They called in unison.

They're just like twins, it made me smile.

Karley reached into that dang tote bag she takes everywhere and pulled out a plastic container and held it out to me. I rose a brow at her and took it, opening and looking in. I couldn't help but smile.

She made me a cupcake.

"Do you like it? I didn't know if you liked chocolate or vanilla so I just made it with red velvet because.. Uh.. Everyone likes red velvet!" She stuttered and smiled. Awe, you could tell she was flustered.

I grinned. "Thanks, I love it." Taylor leaned over and whispered into Karley's ear something that made her face go bright red. She smirked and looked at her feet. I'll have to talk to Taylor later..

"So, what happened? All we heard was you got hurt and you weren't in school.. Karley dragged us here so that we could be the first to 'wish you well'." Jacob out air quotes around 'wish you well' and rolled his eyes. I chuckled.

"Well I appreciate the concern. I got into a car accident." They gasped.

"Tell us everything!" They all said.

Okay.. Here goes nothing.
