Unacceptance

Changed

Tamera's POV

I was with Chris by his hospital bed. I was shaking and nervous about my Dad finding out Im here. I shouldn't be out this late. I stared at him as he slept. I looked all around the room crying my eyes out. I feel like I got him hurt. I feel like shit for making him feel like shit when he already gets told that. I dont know. I don't know what to do. I know soon ima get asked questions. I dont even think I can tell him about the Johnny thing. How is even gonna be able to go to school tomorrow!

I slammed my head in my hands over and over.

"You're gonna hurt yourself. Stop."

I looked at him and smiled a little bit. I walked over to his bed and held his hand.

"I didn't think it would get this far."

"You've been dealing with this for how long? How worse?"

"Emotional Worse. I dont wanna see my mom like this. Now I dont think ima be able to see her at all."

"Im sorry. For everything. I thought you were just some nerdy kid who I can use to get A's and yes make Johnny jealous. Only because he's been making me look like shit forever. Excuse me. I want to make him want me so I can reject him and have something better. You just needed a makeover I could have made it work. But now I regret all of that. I feel like I caused you more stress too. Thinking you have a friend when I wasn't one at all. I even got into a fight with him before I came back to your house. He thinks your my boyfriend. All because I was being selfish."

He took a breath.

"Can we start over?"

He looked at me.

"Yeah." he finally said.

"Im Tamera." I smiled "anndddd im a lil crazy" .

"Im Chris.. and I've noticed."

I realized he didnt say his full name.

"Is Chris short for something?"

"Nah, just Chris."

That's... weird.

"Oh, well what happened to you Chris?"

"I was running in the field at school and fell on glass. I walked home then my mom called the police."

What?

"Uhh.."

The nurse walked in.

"Well Chris you need to stay on bed rest for a while okay?"

"Okay"

"How did this happen?"

"Football field had glass on it."

She looked at me.

"Who's this a family member?"

"My mom couldn't stay so she called my friend."

"Well, she cant be here... but it doesnt matter cause you're free to go."

Chris POV

We got home and my mom wasnt there. Kind of a relief. Tamera helped me in bed and she fixed me some food.

"I gotta get going my Dad is gonna be mad"

"Okay. Thank you."

"Chris.."

"Yes?"

"Why did you switch up the story?"

"I always do."

"What do you mean?"

"What is there to mean"

"Nevermind."

I started to walk to the door.

"Isn't your full name Christopher?"

"You wanted me to be cooler. I dropped it for something better. I honestly like it."

"Ohh.. well night."

"Night."

I left closing the door softly. Now time to go home and explain to my dad why Im just getting home.
