I wake up early... I was alone, but the doctor did say that I could soon leave and go back home. I'm very happy about that. I look at my phone with a few missed calls, 3 from my mom, 1 from Rachel and a few from Daniel and Alysha. Man people should just come here if they want to get in touch with me.
I reply to a few texts. Mainly from Daniel.
Daniel: Bro, do you know when you can come home?
I quickly reply.
Jack: Yeah, I think today or tomorrow.
...
Daniel: We should go and buy a motorcycle when you get home, i know you've always wanted one. ;)
Jack: ha, not any time soon bro, but nice try.
Daniel: haha! I might come by later, but if not, see you tomorrow probably.
Jack: Ight, peace.
Daniel: Peace.
I call my mom back and as always she starts asking me a bunch of questions that I don't know the answers to... like
"Jack, how many doctors are there in the whole hospital"
Like mom, really?
I talk to her for a while, we catch up. I exchange conversation with my little sister too and my dad.
Soon Angela walks in.
Angela: Hey loser, how's your head?
Jack: Oh Angela, hey. Um I guess okay.
Angela: Just thought i'd come through and see you.
Jack: Yeah it's been pretty quiet for the past hour or so, just me.
Angela: Did Rachel come and see you?
Jack: Oh no, she's um, in Miami for 2 weeks. For some shoot she has to do.
Angela: Oh... did she come and say bye?
Jack: Um she called me.
I'm trying to not make it look like Rachel is not being a good girlfriend right now and everything is fine, it's really not... at all but I think Angela is buying it.
Angela: Oh, okay. That's better then nothing right?
Jack: Right.
I look away.
Angela: So when do you get out of this hell hole?
She sits on my bed, next to my legs.
Jack: I think tomorrow, but the doctor said it could be possible that I would get out today. But no rush.
Angela: What do you mean? No rush? Bro, you gotta get out of here right when you can.
Jack: Why? I don't think i'll be missing much. Daniel is just chilling like he always is,Alysha is probably shopping and Rachel isn't even here. Predictable.
I laugh sarcastically.
Angela: Hey Jack, are you okay?
Jack: Does it look like it?
Angela: Not really, that's why i'm asking, i'm here if you want to talk.
Jack: Well I would talk to you... but you don't even tell me the truth anymore.
Angela: Jack...
Jack: No just stop, please.
Angela: Jack. Are you seriously mad?
Jack: Yeah...
I sit up and look towards the window as Angela stands up.
Angela: What's up with you?
Jack: Everything, I'm stuck in the hospital, my girlfriend hasn't even come to say anything at all... She left without even telling me, I had to ask her where she was... My best friend lied to me... and on top of that I'm going to miss my sisters birthday tomorrow.
She goes in to give me a hug.
I hug back slightly.
Angela: Aw, Jack. Rachel is in her own little world, all the time.
Jack: I know... I know.
I say softly.
Angela: I'm sorry for lying... Jack I care about you a lot.
Jack: I know, look who's here right now, you are.
I grab ahold of her more tightly and never let go.
A/N: Heyo, I'm on the airplane right now. Dope! And sorry for this crappy ish chapter, i don't have a lot of inspiration at the moment. Next few should be good!!
