Running nightmare

Ch 6- Is this right?

The next day I woke up in my bed with my alarm yelling at me. I got up and remembered it was pajama day for homecoming week. so I took a shower and put my pajamas back on. Then I toss my hair into a messy bun. I went out of my room at the same time Jack came out of his room rubbing his eyes and yawning. He saw me and smiled "So what's for breakfast?" he said after stretching. He had no shirt on so when he stretched I could see every muscle move. Most runners aren't very masculine but oooohhhh boy was he. I caught myself staring at him and mentally slapped myself for it. I look up at him and he was smirking. I blushed and looked to the ground from being embarrassed that I was caught staring at him. "Like what you see?" he said cocky and amused. My blush deepened. My mind going into defense mode witted off an answer. "What are you talking about. Nothing here god to look at." I said

"Well you look cute in your pajamas." he said while walking towards me. He stopped when he was inches away. The air caught in the back of my throat realizing how close we where. He smirked seeing my reaction. "Ummm I-I well d-don't you need to go get ready?" I said stuttering at how close he was to me. He leaned toward me putting our faces so close my muscles locked up and I couldn't move. 

He kissed me on the forehead and enclosed me in his masculine arms. I was stiff at first but then melted into his arms. I have tried to not rely and trust people for years. Ever sense my mom, he was always the first to brake the barriers I had set up. When we first met he had accomplished that. He had a special place in my heart, but was it as a friend or more? Had I developed feelings for him? I am still confused at what happened or what I think about it. It was to much to take in at once right now I think I will go with my gut feeling. Even though it is in knots.

We got to school and it seemed Jack didn't want to leave my side. He was being extra protective of me and it was getting on my nerves. I didn't want things to change I expected them to stay the same. How could they after he kissed me, I decided that during lunch I would talk to him.

"Hey Jack will you come here I need to talk to you." I asked nervously. He caught the tone in my voice and frowned. "Yeah Shure we can talk. What do you need?"  he appeared nervous and anxious. "will you come with me to the football field? It will be more private." He nodded his head and followed me to the field. I sit on the bleachers and look at him. He beats me to be the first to talk. "Did I do something wrong to upset you?" I look at him shocked at the hurt in his eyes at the thought of hurting me. "No I just needed to talk to you about last night." He relaxes and exhales heavily releasing his stress. "Ok what about last night?" I can see he is running the worst scenarios through his head. "Well its just you have been acting different around me ever sense. Like I'm the most fragile thing you've ever seen. you aren't being yourself. I don't want the fact that we kissed mess up our relationship. You are a great friend and could be more... I just don't want the way we act around each other to change." I look to his eyes to see what he's thinking but find nothing. After sitting for a few minutes he finally breaks the silence. "I like you I really do. That makes me want to protect you because you have been hurt so many times before. I'm the reason you lost your leg and cant run. If I hadn't been reckless you would be training with the team. You wouldn't have to be going through the pain your in.

Just him talking about the wreck sends me into a flash back. the crunch of metal an excruciating pain in my leg. Hitting my head hard on the window shattering it. Lights flash red blue red blue yelling pain yelling. Being pulled out of the car and looking down at my legs one is fine. The other is crushed and mangled. I blackout after that I get glimpses of what happened. Being put into the ambulance, the doctors above me yelling commands above the sirens. Bright hospital lights more doctors then... darkness. I wake up with pane in my whole body. I look down and one leg is shorter than the other. I only have one foot. I barley have much bone under my knee. The shock floods me and I black out.

I come out of the flashback with Jack begging me to come back. "Sam please stop its not real everything will be alright." He Is holding me to him rocking me back and forth while stroking my hair. I begin to sob into him I never cry but I couldn't stop it came out uncontrollably. "I'm sorry Sam I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm so sorry." He pleads with me to calm down. I know he blames himself fro that night. It wasn't his fault it was the guy who rammed us he was drunk driving. Between sobs I manage to speak. "Its-not-your-fault-stop-bla-ming-your-self." He stands up carrying me bridal style. "I think your done with school today. Where going home so you can get some rest." he says effortlessly carrying me to his car. He sets me in the seat and starts the car and whips put of the parking lot and in no time at all where at my house.

He caries me up to our apartment and sets me down on the couch. By now I have stopped crying he moves a peace of hair that was plastered to my face, and brushes it behind my ear. Then he leans his head close to mine and speaks softly to me. "Everything will be alright I will fix it." Then he kisses my forehead and sits next to me on the couch. He pulls me up next to him and wraps his arms around me. He turns on Netflix and pulls me closer to him. I begin falling asleep but before I do I feel him nuzzle up against my neck I smile and fall asleep.
