chapter 4

Angelica

We were waiting in the waiting room because they went to take Eliza into the scanning room to see of anything was wrong with her. After what felt like a couple hours they finally said Eliza. Alexander Peggy and i stood up wondering what is wrong.

"She only has a medium sized concussion," the nurse says, "were just gonna keep her two more days just in case."

"What is she not aloud to do when she gets home?" I ask.

"No electronics and no school for a couple weeks," the nurse says.

"Ok. Anythi-" Alex starts to say.

"-ah yes someone would need to stay home for awhile to make sure shes ok." The nurse says interrupting Alex.

"Ok since I'm probably the eldest of us I should." I say.

"Ill write a doctors excuse for you guys so you can stay home with this fine lady." Says the nurse.

"When is her release date?" Peggy says.

"In two days we just want to make sure everythings ok, I already said this" says the nurse laughing.

Peggy starts to get red in the face.

"Well do we have to stay here at the hospital because we need to get some rest and eat dinner." Peggy says at last.

"Oh while shes here you guys may leave," says the nurse.

"Bye Eliza," I say kissing her forhead and leaving with Peggy behind me. I stay outside tbe door to see what alex might do.

"I'm sorry this happened to you its all Laurens fault hes the one that said the first part of the joke so i coulsnt help my self. I hope you feel better," He takes her tiny hand softly and kisses it. I shall see you tomorrow. He stands up from his kneeling position and i run down the hall a little so it didnt seem like I was eves dropping. I walk and I find the elevator. I press the down button and Alex catches up right in time when the door opens. Peggy i guess shes already downstairs. It is really silent.

"Alex..." I say.

"Yes?" He responds.

"Do you like Eliza?"

"Ya."

"No i mean like like. " I say looking at my shoes.

"If I say yes would you kill me?" Alex responds.

"Why would I want to kill anyone?" I say, "but if you break her fucking heart I am going to kill you,"

"Wait so youre saying I can date her if I want but if I break her heart I'm dead?" Alex says.

"Mhm." I say.

"Deal." Alex says holding out his hand. I shake it.

"Do you need a place to stay for the night its pretty late and i dont think you should drive home alone," I say

"Um ok," he says.

We finally arrive home.

"What room do you want?" I ask.

"I'm not picky but if I chose a color is say blue." He says.

"Ok follow me." I say taking him to a room.

"Are you sure I can stay at your house?" He asks.

"I'm sure." I say. "Ok heres the room."

"Ok well goodnight." He says.

"Goodnight." I say smirking.
