Chapter 3

I woke up from sleep and realized that I was not on my cozy bed, but somewhere with white walls. My mother was sitting beside me.

“Alice, hey Alice, are you okay? Can you hear me?” She said.

“Yes mom, completely. Where am I?” I asked, turning my neck to examine the room.

“Hospital, dear,” She said, sounding relieved.

“HOSPITAL!?!? What am I doing here? I was in school!” I asked, confused.

“Some guy got you out here. I don’t remember his name, I did not even see him. He called me up and told me about you. Very nice guy though.”

David!

Nice my foot!

But yaa… he wasn’t thaat bad, but I was here because of him!

I was out here, in the place I  hate of because of him!

He’s such a jerk. Apparently my mother was being all nice and sweet and dear. But once I go home, she’d be a Hitler and a Dracula in one body. She won’t stop yelling at me at all.

Even Jake was here. That’s strange. I’m sure he had some work,  that is the only reason he would come here. So whatever he wanted me to do, he would remind me that he came to the hospital to visit me and then I would have to ‘obey’ him.

“Do you want something to drink?” Mom asked.

“I won’t mind shots,” I told her, winking.

Well, I was really open to her.  I could tell her anything and vice versa. That is why I did not have any ‘best friend’ at school because my ‘best friend’ was my mother. We were pretty similar. But the main difference was that I was a tomboy and she was  a ‘girly-girl’. She loved gossiping, dressing up and shopping. And the main thing, she was in love with the ‘idea’ of love.

I mean, how can somebody fall in love with the ‘idea’ of love? That was the reason why my parents were still together even after twenty-four years.

“I’ll get you some orange juice and don’t even dare not to have it,” She said with wide eyes.

“No mom, this isn’t done--”

“Stop whining and rest,” She cut me off and left.

Just as she left, Jake came in with a wide smile spread across his face.

“Watsup?” He asked.

“God, this is sooo boring. I hate hospitals man,” I said.

“Yeah.. I know,” he said, with that smile plastered across his smile.

I just nodded.

“So..”

“So what?”

“You look beautiful!” He said.

“Huh?”

“No… I mean I like your hairstyle!”

Was he out of his mind?

“No I mean..” He trailed off.

“What do you want? Just get  straight to the point!”

“I want your blue jeans,” he said, with pleading eyes.

I laughed this time. HE needed MY jeans?

“What’s so funny?” He asked me.

“Your expression! Its…its…wow! And you want to wear my jeans?!?!” I said, laughing louder this time.

“You dud, it is for Molly,” He said hitting me on my head.

“Wow…doesn’t your long time girlfriend have her own clothes? Or is she asking for her boyfriend’s sisters clothes? GROSS!” I said, scowling.

“Will you shut up? I’ll return it to you after two days. This is the only way to cheer her up.  And she finds those jeans really cool,”

“What’s wrong? Did her nail break or is her dog, Bruno not eating time to time is or is her favourite lipstick lost or—”

“Her favourite mascara broke”

I stared at him for a moment when I realized that he was actually serious.

I burst out laughing! She was upset because of that?

Actually, it was nothing new. Molly would always cry over such small things. And because of that, Jake always had to suffer to cheer her up, and do all sorts of things. Once he had to dance for her in the streets to cheer her up.

“How can you bear that sicko for even a moment? Be a man! Just let her do what she wants. I would have kicked her if I were you,” I told him.

“I cannot because I love her. And you cannot hurt someone whom you love,” He said, now getting emotional.

We were extremely different. He was east and I was west. He was darkness and I was light. He was dumb and I was smart!

By this time, mom entered with a glass of juice.

“What’s wrong with you?” She asked us.

Jake and I were confused. We exchanged glances.

“I mean I have never seen you two sitting together and talking. You just broke your previous records!” She said with a huge smile.

“You know that was not funny, I still hate her just like before.. I was just asking her…um...if her arm still hurt.” Jake told her.

I stared at him.

“Wait, just let me get out of this bed and then I’ll see how you get my jeans,” I whisper-warned him.

“l think Alice, you need to talk to the doctor. You have never spoken to Jake so much!” Mom said, with her eyebrows raised.

As if on cue, the doctor entered.

“I think Ms. Martin here can be discharged now. Mrs. Martin, could you please come to my office for some paperwork?” The doctor asked.

“Sure,” She replied too quickly.

Both of them left, leaving me here alone with Jake, with a pleading look on my face, which said, ‘NOOOO!!’ .
