The Trip Of We ( PAUSED)

Chapter sixteen: Clumsy

Chapter Sixteen: Clumsy

I could still hear their footsteps and their yelling as Jason struggled to place me on the seat gently and quickly at the same time. Aurora placed my head on her legs to make me comfortable. Apart from the stabbing pain in my back, the thought of them seeing me like this, the thought of them knowing that I get bullied, the thought of them looking at me as a poor girl that needed pity crippled me.

I shut my eyes tight and kept my fingers crossed. My face brightened with relief as I heard the revving of the car engine.
The car's movement, though not rough, made my back hurt. It felt like I was being pierced by glass all over. Aurora kept rubbing her fingers on my cheeks, an action that was known to be calming and soothing to me.

"Watch out!" Aurora screamed. Suddenly the car jerked, increasing the pain by millions.
"Fuck" I heard Jason curse under his breath.

"Firstly, watch how you drive. Secondly, what the hell happened to her?" I heard Liam's voice. It was filled with anger and concern. It had this deep tone that I had never heard before.

"What? You were the one that stopped at the front of a moving car" Jason yelled and attempted to start the engine.
I heard the door open and close.

"You can drive away. With me." Adam suggested.

"I'm sorry" he apologized to me.

I slowly started to sit up but the pain in my back suggested otherwise so i sat back and smiled at Adam.
"I can see through you" he replied smiling back.

"Can someone tell me what the hell happened? " Dylan asked, opening the door by my right.

"She fell on the stairs" Jason answered.
"Clumsy Eva" Aurora added nervously.

"Yeah guys it's totally fine" I managed to assure them.

"Cmon. Sit up." Liam said, opening the door at my left.

'I don't want to" I lied.

Truth was, I was super uncomfortable laying on the seat between Dylan and Aurora and the five of them looking at me.

"Would someone like to explain why she has a broken spine from falling down?"Adam demanded.

"I didn't break my spine" I objected.

"Sit up" Liam said.

Slowly and delicately, I started to put my legs down but my butt was sore that I couldn't even sit on them.

"You know what? I totally like this position" I smiled and made no more attempt to sit up.

"You have to come with me. With us. You don't know the effect of what happened" Dylan suggested.

"She's with me okay!" Jason interrupted.

"Wait a minute. Did you - beat her up?" Adam asked narrowing his eyes.

"What the-! Why would I do that?" Jason asked surprised at this accusation.
"Exactly" Aurora added.

"I don't know, you tell me"

"Adam, he didn't beat me up. He wasn't the one."I correct him.

" Good. Since you clearly confirmed now that you were beaten up by someone, tell us the person"Dylan stated.

"Or was it Aurora?" Adam suggested again.

"Hell no. Why would you even think of that?!" She asked visibly annoyed.

"Then it was Jason right?" Adam said.

"I get bullied ok!" I shouted.

The car was eerily silent for what felt like an hour.
I looked down and could feel their eyes on me. This was it. This had to be it. The time they would decide i wasn't cool enough and dump me.
"Why didn't you tell us since?" Liam asked, looking hurt.
"And we called you our bestie" Dylan added.
"You kept this from us?" Adam asked in disbelief.

"Guys, now isn't the time to for blames and truths. She has an injured spine, a battered scalp and a red face. I think you should postpone this meeting" Aurora advised.
"Yeah. So we'll see you guys later. We need to take her to the hospital" Jason added.

"By we, you mean us. Dylan get her into the car, Adam call your family hospital that there's an emergency and I'll drive. We'll have " that" talk when you recover" Liam ordered.

"What the hell do you guys think you are doing? Aurora and I are taking her to the hospital" Jason opposed.

"Jason, let it go" Aurora pleaded, sensing my irritation to the noise.

Dylan scooped me and dropped me at the back seat of the Bentley.

The ride to the hospital was smooth and even as I struggled to stay awake, my world slowly started to spin and warp until I fell into darkness.
