Forever Jinxed

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

My eyes flutter open and I made a move to sit up. Pain shot behind my eyelids which I had to squeeze shut tightly.

"Woah. woah careful," I felt his hands steady me, "Here let me help you if you wish to sit up."

I open my eyes once the pain subsided and smile at Josh. I reach out when he hands me some aspirin and a glass of water which I of course gratefully take.

"Thank you."

He helps me sit up as promised and sets pillows up against the back of the bed frame for me to lean up upon.

"I'm sorry..." He looks down guiltily.

"Huh? For what?" This boy seriously confused me.

"I... I didnt stop you from hitting your head."

He sounded so sad and so much like a little boy that I couldnt help but burst out in laughter.

His confused and surprised expression sent me into a further fit of giggles.

Maybe I really had hit my head harder than I originally thought.

I had to force my giggling fit to a minimum and I started to explain myself.

"You're sorry? I'm the one who was running carelessly through the halls. If you hadnt helped me I would of been injured much worse! That and you even went through the trouble of fixing me up."

He looked sort of sheepish as he spoke, "Well I could hardly say it was your fault. You seemed sort of... preoccupied."

I cast my gaze downwards. My earlier sadness came rushing back to me.

"I didnt mean to upset you..."

"No! No Its alright!", The last thing I wanted to do was bother him with my emotions, "I'm just still... Coming to terms with things..." I trailed off.

"Well maybe I can help with that," He flashed me a huge grin, "But first. How about we grab something to eat. Your head should be fine by now. It's not nearly as bad is it seems. I may have gone a little overboard with wrapping you up."

I smiled warmly at him.

"Food sounds nice."
