boy next door

You were at home doing spring cleaning because your mom was forcing you. You decided to kill time by just cleaning out your car while everyone else did work in the house.

Your next door neighbor, Lucky, just so happened to be out there too. Lucky, could be the "boy next door", but he totally aggravates you; he could probably say the same about you.

He was raking his lawn and you were cleaning your car.

Suddenly, you saw him slip and fall. You laughed silently but then you realized he was hurt. Lucky started blurting out curse words, so you were obligated to check on him.

You run over into his yard, "What happened?"

"I just fell did you not see that?" he replied irritably.

"Yes, I thought it was quite amusing."

"Can you just," he groaned in pain. "Call an ambulance. I'm 99.9% sure I just broke my ankle."

Your eyes couldn't help but trace back to his ankle, and he was right. You were never good with gory details, so you started freaking out.

"Oh my god, oh my god!" you panicked whilst dialing 911. "That's so disgusting! Okay, calm down..I'm calling for help right now."

"Y/n..y/n I'm-"

"No, no don't speak you might make it worse! Don't move!" you stammered. "Just lay down on my lap." you started freaking out. "Oh my god!"

"Y/n..calm down-"

"Yes, my neighbor just slipped and he broke his ankle! It's really bad, like really bad and it's gross!"

You could feel Lucky chuckling. "What's so funny?! Why are you laughing?" you asked angrily.

"You're more upset than I am." he smiled. "And this hurts like a bitch but you're nearly in tears."

You sniffled, "Oh I'm glad I can entertain you!"

He smirked. "I always enjoyed seeing you cry."

"You are so messed up in the head."

It was silent aside his random screaming and cursing. Soon enough, the ambulance was there and helped him.

They rolled him up to the truck, but then he grabbed your hand. "Will you come with me? Please?" Lucky surprisingly asked sweetly.

You were dumbfounded but you agreed. You got in the back of the ambulance with him, and neither of you let go of your hands.

Lucky was soon gonna be put to sleep, so you comforted him by petting his hair.

He later fell asleep from the laughing gas, and the warm touch of your fingers.
