The Geek And The Jock

Surprise

Felix

"-oney. Wake up. It's me."

A recognisable and soft voice calls me out and a gentle hand shakes me awake from the deep fog of sleep.

I try and brush the hand off my shoulders but my weak and tired muscles don't budge the hand an inch.

"Felix. Honey. Darling, is your mom wake up sweetie. I want to talk to you."

The voice calls out again but within a second I recognise that it's my mom who's calling me and trying to shake me awake. My eyes burst open and within a second I latch myself to the figure sitting on the best beside me. Slowly, as I hug my mom I feel a tsunami of emotions flood over me and eventually they escape the walls of my still groggy head in the from of tears that flow down my cheeks.

I begin to think how stupid I was and how so selfish of me it was to not think how so god damned worried my own mother would be when they brought that man into the very ER she was working at.

"Oh my god, mum. I'm so sorry, I just- the thought to call you didn't even cross my mind." I say in between the random sobs that escape my mouth.

My mum hugs me tighter and I let her do so before she pulls away and kisses my forehead.

"It's okay sweetie. I knew you were safe so it doesn't matter." She explains as I wipe away the tear that falls down my cheek.

"So, I heard about you and Victor." She says and I can't help but look away from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I should've told you earlier" I apologise.

"It's okay sweetie, it doesn't matter. What matters now is that you're safe." She says and kisses my forehead, her lips lingering there for a second before parting from my skin.
"Now come on, get ready or you'll be late to school"

My heart drops to my stomach when she mentions school. Never in the last two days did I think any of this would happen let alone announce to the WHOLE school that me, Felix, is dating the school god.

"I've brought some clothes for you, they're on the bathroom countertop." She says before leaving the room.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck" I whisper to myself as I think what would people think.

Not about me, about Victor. Holy shit. Victor could become the school looser because of me, because of me he could loose his place on the football team. I mean, I'm not even hot. I'm just all fat and...ugly. I rest my face in my hands in effort to push back the anxiety attack brewing inside of me.

"Baby, what's up?" I hear Victor say and I look up to find him looking at me with concerned eyes.

"O-oh nothing." I manage to throw the words out of my mouth.

Victor walks over to the bed and kisses me on the lips. The feeling of his hand cupping my face as he does so calms me slightly enough that I manage to breathe out the breath I didn't know I was holding in. He pulls back and sits on the bed and grabs my hand. The callouses of his skin tickling the back of my hand.

"I need to tell you something in the car. So just, get ready quick, I'll be waiting outside" he says.

For a moment I feel my hand go cold again as he lets go of mine, the warmth that was once seeping into my skin now gone. He kisses me again before leaving the room.

I manage to somewhat throw myself out of the bed and into the warm stream of the shower. I emerge from it a few minutes later and quickly dress into the clothes my mum left me.

I giggle to myself slightly as I pull on my leather pants which I only wore once after being called a 'fat ass' in them and pull over my head a somewhat baggy maroon v-neck T-shirt. But it doesn't stop there, my mom left me my good ol' knee-high combat boots.
