Chapter 5: Inlaws.

I woke up about two hours later, and Austin was still sitting in that green chair, watching me. "Hey," he said. "Good morning." He gave that cute crooked smile. I looked around, almost forgetting where I was. My hair was again matted to the side of my face, and I just left it there. Seika, the nurse, brought in a tray of food. A salad with little packets of ranch, a container of apple sauce, a carton of milk, and a cookie. I stuffed the cookie in my face and sucked the ranch pure out of the packet. I was hungry. I slurped up the apple sauce. "Woah, there, tiger. Not so fast," Austin said. "Sutt the vuck up, I am hunnry. Never vuck whiff a hunnry gerl" I sounded stupid talking with food in my mouth. "An I hope you otay whiff da whowe dewwick fing. he is a vutt hedd." I swallowed. "Are you? That was like a soap opera scene." I tilted my head knowingly at him. "Uh, yeah. I am just glad you didn't believe the jerk. You want to pudding I gave you?" I nodded, and he handed it to me, and pulled the hair away that was stuck to my face from sleeping on it. I opened the pudding. I was about to go to town when I noticed three little holes on the inside of Austin's elbow. "Austin, what are those?" I pointed. He looked at them, them, than me. I think I already knew what they were. "You are still shooting up? you told me you stopped doing drugs!" I was about to keep ranting when there was a knock on the door. A man walked in. A man I never expected to see. A man I was so happy to see."UNCLE SAM?"

"Hey sugar plum!" Sam walked over and planted a kiss on the top of my head.

"Hey Uncle Sam!" I smiled up at him; squeezed the pudding and slurped at it.

"Not gunna share?" He put a hand over his heart "I'm hurt." I laughed, almost shooting the pudding out my nose. Austin laughed along; Sam shot him a evil glare.

"Is that..." he pointed to Austin "Derrick..." I know Sam wanted to punch austin, in thought he was Derrick; I grabbed Sam's hand.

"No uncle sam, that's a friend... Derrick." Tears threatened to spill from my eyes again.

"Derrick cheated in her." Austin's jaw tighten. His hands balled into fists; making his knuckles turn white.
