Summer Love

Rest day

     Two weeks has passed and now I am back home to lay down in my own comfortable bed. It has been a long two weeks in the hospital. My mom and dad were my doctors, so I saw them a lot. They asked me about Jess and how is everything. My dad, like always, has been giving me dating tips, which I never asked for. I was bored to death. He did the same thing when I first met Lisa. It's funny to me that he gets like this, but also it's pretty lame.
     My friends came to visit me as well. Lisa and Jess both visited me everyday and I saw Monroe some days. As for Jake, I haven't seen him since that night he ditched me and Monroe with the football team. My mom said that he visited when I was out cold, but that's it. Surprisingly Grace came to visit me too. She mostly was there to get on my nerves, but I am so thankful for her. She's been getting my mind off of the whole fight and was the only one acting normal around me. When you go to the hospital everyone becomes so concern, wants to make sure you are ok, and acts super nice. Grace, on the other hand, still treats me awful even through I was in the hospital. I see that she is just helping by doing this and I am thankful for that.
     She didn't let Stace, the twins, or Karmin visit me, because she didn't want them to see me hooked up to the IV. Seeing me like that might just scare them, which is the last thing they need right now. Luckily I saw them when I got home. Karmin ran up to hug me. Because of my broken rib, it hurt when she did, but it was ok with me. Stace and the twins both wanted a hug, but they waited until Karmin let go. It isn't easy to pry a 7 year old from a hug, but I was glad to see her happy. Now I am stuck in my room and just watching TV. My favorite show, Supernatural, was on TV.
     As I was watching TV, Grace walked in my room without even knocking. "How are you doing dumb dumb?" she asked rudely. Now that I think about it, Grace and I haven't had a chance to talk about Jake yet. I mean that is her "boyfriend" and he ditched Monroe and I to get jumped. I know that things aren't good if they talked. I replied to her question, "I am fine succubus. Hey, have you ever heard of knocking? You should try it sometimes. I could have been changing." "Yeah, whatever. It isn't like there's much to see anyway. So you don't have to worry." As always she is getting on my nerves. This is something she's is great at, but annoys me so much.
     "I am just going to ignore that remark," I said aggravatingly. "Anyway, have you talked to Jake yet?" Her expression suddenly changed. Her eyes narrowed and she took a deep breath. I can tell that she was upset. She said, "Yeah, I talked to that spineless wimp. He told me everything about what happened that night. He said he ran and left you out there with Monroe." I was surprised that he told her the truth about what happened. "He told me that he didn't leave because of the fight you two had. He left because he was scared of getting beat up. I told him that he was a coward and he agreed with me. He seems really sorry for what he done."
     "Yeah, I bet he is," I muttered to myself knowing why he left. Jake is really stupid, but isn't a bad guy. He did visit me and that said that he didn't mean for things to go so far. However, that doesn't change what he did. "Hey Grace, how are you and him? I mean like are you still together or are you just with him to mess with me?" Her facial expression gotten serious and she looked puzzled. It's hard to tell what she's thinking, but I know it's something about Jake and her. "Honestly I don't know where I stand with Jake," she answered. "Me and him aren't together, together. I mean he flirts with me and put his arms around my shoulder, but nothing serious is between us and honestly I don't see that happening. The only reason why is because I saw him flirting with other girls. He is just another dumb guy. And just so you know, I am not dumb enough to fall for his silly games."
     "Is this because of what happened that night?" I asked feeling like that was her reason for not liking him. "No, I felt this way before you got your butt kicked. That is just another reason why I don't see things working out. However, you should talk to him. He feels really responsible for what happened. I blame the guy for it, but still." I looked down lost in thought. I really don't feel like talking to Jake any time soon, but I know that I am going to have to eventually. I can't avoid the problem forever. I said, "Fine, I'll talk to him, but not now. I am still upset about the whole thing and need to calm down first." "That's understandable," she stated. She began to walk out my room door.
     "Hey," I said trying to stop her before she left, "I am sorry for everything." She looked at me confused. "I know that getting that call from the hospital must have scared you. I am sorry for the scare. Know that I am not going anywhere soon, so you are stuck with me succubus." I gave Grace a small, but honest smile. She returned a small smile back. "Don't get all emotional," she said firmly. "Sometimes I forget who's the girl here: you or me. Just take care of yourself or Ronni is going to be the least of your worries. Ok punk?" "Ok," I answered sarcastically. She turned her back to me, opened my door, and left my room.
     I looked back on TV and just realized that I missed my favorite show. That sucks, but that's life I guess. I picked up my phone that was on my right nightstand. I open and scroll through my contacts and see Jake's name in my contact. I was about to click call, but I just stopped. I am not in the mood to talk to him at the moment. I was still upset and I don't want to lose it. So I closed my phone and just put it on the charger.
     I lay on my back and try to get some rest. Sharp pains throughout my chest happens whenever I shift positions. I can't lay on my sides or my stomach because of my rib, which sucks. Laying on your back isn't so comfortable for me, but it's better than the hospital bed. I lay my head back and close my eyes, trying to relax. I need to get my mind off of things. It has been a stressful few weeks, but hopefully it'll get better soon. For now it's best to just take one thing at a time.
