He Cared

3

I woke up once again with my alarm blaring. I forgot how much pain I was in when I first fell asleep, so when I went to stand to turn it off, I collapsed crying out in pain. I ended up crawling to my bedside table and turning it off. Slowly, I crawled back over to my pillow, and laid back down, thinking the pain would eventually subside.

I fell back asleep, and about half an hour later my phone lights up and dings. Slowly, I turn to my side and pick up my phone, looking at the name who texted me. Brendon.

Brendon~ Where are you?? I haven't seen you at all! Are you coming? Are you okay?

So many questions.

Me~ I'm at home, i'm not coming and i'm completely fine. Just a bit sick.

I hated lying to people, I really did. But I couldn't tell him about my parents. They would kill me. Like, literally kill me.

Brendon~ Please tell me you're coming back tomorrow. I need you here. 

Me~ I will, I promise :)

Brendon~ Cool! Looking forward to tomorrow then :D

God, why did I say that?! I can't come into school tomorrow, am I crazy?! I'm pretty sure I have a few broken ribs, and my face is going to be severely bruised. But I have to keep promises. I have never broken a promise before. 

Steadily, I pulled myself up so that I was standing, but also hanging on to my drawer behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror. Bruises. That's the only word that comes to my mind when I look at myself. My face has a few big ones, followed with even bigger bruises on my ribs and legs.

I can't even believe i'm going to school tomorrow. I mean, I can't even stand on my own let alone walk all the way to school. But I guess i'm going to have to make it work. Plus, he needs me. What kind of friend am I? He literally just came to school yesterday.

Unhurriedly, I got back down on the floor and sprawled out. It felt better than being curled up that's for sure. I pulled my phone back out and watched youtube for a few hours, followed by social media. It was so boring being in my room the whole day, but I needed to rest up for tomorrow. 

Suddenly, my phone dinged again, making me jump and nearly throwing it across the room.

Brendon~ Hey, how are you feeling?

Me~ Better :)

Brendon~ Good! There was no homework in English btw. Idk about your other classes though..

Me~ That's good. I'm glad. How was your second day of going to this school?

Brendon~ It was really good! Boring without you, but other than that, it was good :)

Me~ Good! I'm glad.

Brendon~ I gtg, but I will see you tomorrow 

I smiled. He was really sweet. He was the best-est friend that I have ever had. Well, he is the only friend I have ever had. 

By now, the sun had gone down and I was starting to get pretty tired. I set my phone down, and my eyes fluttered closed.

I fell into a deep sleep thinking about how I am going to pull off being severely hurt, and limping.

Sorry for the short chapter :/ Next chapter will be longer! Love y'all <3
