cuts and bruises

Lauren's POV

Yeah, I know, I'm pretty pathetic. Sitting on a tree branch that hangs over mine and my neighbors yard, I was drawing that one girl next door. I focused on her long lashes, her tiny little button nose, and probably what makes me blush the most, her smile.

Just as I was getting finished with the shading, I feel a football slam into my back. Great, you'd never guess whose yard I fell in. Damn, that fence sure did scrape up my face, I thought to myself. "That little fucker." I muttered, looking at the bent metal of the brace broken off of my leg, laying in the grass.

"Oh my god are you okay?" A feminine voice asks.

"Oh Camila, hi. Yeah I think I'm okay. I don't know honestly. I'm pretty sure Chris just missed his target or something. The little fucker made me break my leg brace." I huffed, "now I have to use my crutches until I can get another one."

"You really shouldn't be up so high in those trees, especially because of your leg. Just look what happened to your poor face. Come on, I'll clean you up inside okay?" She insisted, helping me up, putting a supportive arm around my hip.

"Mija where've you been? You've been gone for 40 minutes!" Sinu exclaimed, hands on her hips.

"Mama, I was just tanning, jeez. Then this dork got hit by her brother's football and fell into our yard." Camila explained easily. Meanwhile, she pulled out a chair for me to sit down. "Oh my goodness look at your poor beautiful face! Let me get the first aid kit." Sinu prompted, looking at my face with concern, which was littered with a few cuts and soon to be bruises. "Here you go mija. I'd like to help but I have to run to the pharmacy to pick up a few of your father's prescriptions."

"Its okay, a few cuts aren't that hard to handle." She replied.

"I didn't want to ask because I didn't want to be rude or anything but, what happened to your leg?" Camila questioned.  "No, it's okay. I um, when I was younger, I started having these seizures. Anyway, when I was 15, one of them was so horrible that something happened to a muscle in my leg. Which is, still healing."

"Damn."

"Yeah, it sucks I guess but Its not that bad really."

"You cut your head pretty badly there." Camila observed, putting some small pieces of tape on it to help the cut heal. "Yeah it hurts like a bitch, ow-" "jeez, sorry." She pulled her hand back for a moment, then pushed my hair back from the wound. "Um.. thanks, Camz." I smiled, then frowned, remembering I couldn't walk to my house by myself. "Camz?"

"Uh, sorry it's just a nickname it slipped." I blushed.

"Its okay, I like it."

"I like you." I said in return. "W-What?" She stuttered, dumbfounded. "Uh, I.. Um, sorry.. I'll just go, I don't want to bother you.." I stated, pulling out my phone to text my sister to bring me my crutches.
