LOST in LOVE

Chapter 8

Jai swerved across the busy road, lots of cars dodging him. We came to a sudden stop, and the his head smashed into the wheel,

the air bag, fly ing out a second too late, and my head bashing into the dashboard. He looked up at me, his nose bleeding. We were

both breathing heavy . All cars were surrounding us, we were in the centre of the road.

"What the hell," I finally screamed. He just looked at me, face completely blank. I started rummaging through things, try ing to

find some sort of tissue or cloth for Jai's nose bleed. I found a cloth to clean glasses with, and pulled it out, handing it to him. "I

hope you realize you just almost killed us, dammit!"

Jai looked down, sadness in his ey es. I sort of felt bad, even though I shouldn't have. Then again, I got in the car with him, and he

was drunk... Angie's going to kill me.

***

The police escorted me home, as they did Jai, moments before.

"Thanks.." I said, awkwardly , getting out of the car. The cop in the passenger seat rolled down his window.

"Stay out of trouble, kid."He said, before rolling it back up. I gulped and nodded, walking towards the door. It was two o'clock in

the morning, hopefully , nobody was still up. I tried opening the door but it was locked, and I didn't have a key with me. I sighed,

just as the door opened. I turned to face it, seeing Eric.

"What the fuck,"He said, looking at me.

"What?" I asked, try ing to act nonchalant.

"Andy , you're forehead's bleeding," He said, grabbing my hand, and dragging me inside. I leaned on the counter, as he started

looking through cabinets.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Looking for a first aid kit."

"Oh,"

"Ah, here we are," He said, taking out a box, that said 'first aid'. He walked towards me and opened the box, taking out a small

piece of cloth, and rubbed it onto my forehead

"Ouch," I whispered.

"Well if you didn't get your dumb ass into this situation, I wouldn't be having to do this, and you wouldn't be hurting. How did this

happen anyway ?"He asked taking out a Band-Aid, and put it onto my cut.

"Uh, I tripped." I said, half smiling.

"Klutz,"He chuckled.

"That's me..." I replied.

I woke up in the morning, in Eric's arms. I guess we fell asleep, watching tv. I looking at him, his ey es were still closed. I

gently unwrapped his arms from me, and lifted my head off of his chest. I got up and walked into the kitchen, seeing Angie and

Andrew, talking.

"Oh, hello dear!"Angie said noticing me.

"Hey ," I said, walking in, rubbing my ey es. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Making a shopping list. It's the twins' birthday tomorrow."

"Oh, cool." I said, as they continued with their list.

I wonder if Angie saw me sleeping with Eric. Hopefully not.

I walked upstairs, into the washroom. I looked into the mirror, noticing I desperately needed a shower. My hair was greasy , my

make up was running, and I was sweaty . How did Eric even fall asleep with me there?

I took my dress off, and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water hit my body . It felt refreshing. I let the water hit my

face, and rubbed my make up off of my face. I washed my hair, then body , and got out. I was in their for almost two hours,

woops. I put on a crop top that said 'Nerd' and pink sweats. I pulled fuzzy socks onto my feet and put my hair up. I decided on no

make up, too tired.

I walked downstairs, noticing Eric, still on the couch. I walked towards the couch, and sat down.

"Y ou're sure working that bed head," I said, laughing.

"Shut up, Andy ."He said.

"Well then, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the couch this morning."

"I said shut up, I'm tired as hell. Y ou should be lucky I was up, and let you in y esterday , or else my parents would suspect

something was up, and you'd be out all night."He said. I hugged him, and chuckled. He didn't hug back.

"Thank you," I said, my arms still wrapped around him, kissing his cheek. I then got up, leaving him dazed.
