Unexpected Love

Chapter 2

Before I could open my eyes I could only smell and hear. I smelled disinfectant and could hear a beeping sound and some voices that were speaking in hushed tones. My eyes fluttered and I slowly opened them.
Sarah was holding my hand and she squeezed it reassuringly.
My mom rushed over to my bed side and kissed my forehead.
" How are you sweetie?" she asked.
I flinched at the sound of her voice. It sounded like she was screaming into a bull horn in my ear even though I knew she wasn't.
Her eyes teared up and I looked away. I hate seeing my mom cry.
" I'm fine I guess." I said hoarsely.
I cleared my throat and tried speaking again.
" My head hurts a lot and my leg kind of hurts. When you talked it sounded really loud." I said more clearly.
I looked down at my leg and saw that I had a bandage on it. I had tubes in my arms with fluids running into me. I was hooked up to some machines that showed numbers and my heartbeat. I looked around and saw my dad sitting in a chair. I gave him a smile and he smiled back tiredly. He's not an affectionate man but I know he loves me. I saw my doctor taking notes on a clipboard. She looked at me and smiled softly.
" Welcome back honey. You've been out for 3 days. Any feeling of nausea or discomfort of any joints or anything?" Dr. Goodwin asked me. I looked at her in a daze. Three days!
" Just my head and leg." I said.
" Well you have a mild concussion and we had to pull some metal out of your leg. You have a small bruise on your forehead but other than that you are perfectly fine." She said, walking over to me and checking the machines.
I couldnt remember much from the accident. Last thing I remember is looking at Sarah smiling. I squeezed Sarahs hand and looked at her. She had a couple bruises on her face and had a couple stitches across her chin that I could see. She still looked beautiful though.
" Honey? We are going to go home and Sarah will drive you home. I'm exhausted. Your father and I haven't slept since the-" My moms voice broke off as she looked at me.
" Ok mom. I'll see you soon. I love you." I said.
" I love you more"
She kissed my forehead and my father got up and came to the side of my bed. And patted my good leg.
" See ya champ." he said.
" Love you too dad" I smiled then grimaced.
I got a shocking headache and my dad turned around with a pained look and they left.
" Doctor. It hurts!"
My head was throbbing and it felt like my brain was going to blow up.
" I'm sorry. Your are going to have migraines for a while. Came with your concussion." she said sadly.
" Over the counter drugs like Tylenol will help with them. You are available to leave whenever you are ready. Your clothes are on the table right over there where the mister is standing."
She unhooked me and I looked over and saw a guy I didn't notice earlier.
He was wearing sneakers with dark denim jeans with a white t-shirt was form fitting and showed off his abs and defined his biceps nicely. I looked up to his face and noticed that he had stitches across his cheek and eyebrow. His hair was messy but in a sexy way. Then I looked into his eyes.
I automatically got sucked into them. They were a light gray and had freckles of green and brown in them.
" Kenya" I heard Sarah say.
I blushed and looked down quickly, embarrassed. I moved my head so my hair cover part of my face.
" Sorry" I mumbled.
Sarah let go of my hand.
" Don't apologize. This fucking asshole got you in here. He's the one that slammed into my car and got you here with this concussion." I heard anger in her voice and took a peep at her through my hair. She was standing, looking at him with hatred.
" I said I was sorry a million times. What do you want me to do? It was an accident!" I heard him say.
His voice had a husky tone.
" Sorry doesn't cut it bastard. She's stuck like this for the rest of her life. thanks to you!" Sarah exclaimed, her voice raising.
" It was an accident you bitch!" He yelled.
My head began pounding and I screamed in pain. They rushed to my side and I held my head pulling on my hair.
Nurses came rushing in and gave me a glass of water that looked a little foggy. When I didn't stop screaming they poured it down my throat and walked out. I started feeling drowsy and my head stopped pounding.
I relaxed and let go of my head. I looked down and closed my eyes.
" No yelling." I said tiredly.
Sarah sniffed and I could hear her apologize repeatedly. I opened my eyes and opened my arms for her to crawl into. She cuddle into my arms and cried as I held her. I kissed her forehead.
" Im ok. I'm fine. See. I'm good. I'm happy." I whispered into her ear.
She kept crying, saying words I couldnt understand.
I looked up at the guy shyly and he was staring at me with those shocking eyes. I saw pain and worry and sorrow in them.
" I forgive you." I said quietly, leaning my head against Sarah's.
He looked away then looked back at me.
He was about to say something but he quickly closed his mouth and left the room, closing the curtain behind him.
I sat there, looking at the curtain where he just walked out. Sarah was sniffling and she lifted her head.
" Fucking asshole. Made me look weak" She said.
I wiped her eyes with my finger and smiled at her.
" I love you." I said and squeezed her tightly, letting my eyes shed tears for once this night.
