Put in Motion

Chapter 12

Jack's POV
When I left Mark's house he texted me and asked where I had gone. I told him I had to go home. But I lied. I didn't have to go home. I didn't even go home. I decided to go for a walk. It wasn't real cold out so why not.
Your so stupid

You can't do anything right!

More like you can't say anything right!

I hadn't heard this voices in a long while. I guess I shut them up after my I guess as people like to refer to it, my accident. Whatever though.

*Time skip next day. Still Jack's POV*

I tried getting out of going to school today. But according to my parents mostly my mom, she said that I was good enough to go and I needed to get up if I was going to pass 11th grade. So now I'm in my car driving to school. It's ironic. I hated cars so much before the accident and now that I've actually experienced an accident they don't scare me anymore. I got to school and parked in the student parking lot. I sat in my car for what seemed like forever before I got out and headed toward the school. I got to the school early so I could go see all my classes and what I missed. Also so I could maybe avoid some people I don't want to see. I walked into school and no one was really here. Except for teachers and stuff. I first decided to go to the office to check in and stuff. Ms.Maraline seemed very happy to see me. "Jack is that you? How have you been?" She asked. She got up out of her chair to come over and give me a hug. What a nice lady. "I've been better." I chuckled. "I bet. I heard about the car accident and you were suspended, you missed a lot of school." She said raising an eyebrow. "I know that's why I'm here early." I said smiling. "Smart kid. Anyway how is Mark I heard he was driving while it happened?" She asked. "He's doing better. He fractured his hip and broke his arm, but a lot better than he was." I said. "Poor kid. Well you don't look very beat up. What happened to you?" She asked crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow. "I got minor amnesia and some glass cut open my side." I said lifting my shirt up a little ways so she could see. "Oh my! I bet that hurts." She said covering her mouth. "Only sometimes but I still have to take it easy. Which is also why I'm here." I said reaching into my pocket and her a doctor's note. "Mm k. I'll make sure you get dismissed from P.E. and no roughhousing, you hear?" She said pointing a finger at me. "I got it. Well it was nice to see you again." I said giving her one last hug. I was just about the door when she stopped me and said, "If you want you can see if you can pick up any homework and stuff for Mark." She said with a smile. "I'll check and see." I said walking out the door. I first went to math, then science, then Spanish, English, etc. It took a while but I got everything. I even got some stuff for Mark. The halls were very much crowded now. And more people were showing up by the minute. I decided to drop some stuff off at my locker real quick and then try and avoid people as much as possible. I was opening my locker when I heard someone call my name from behind me. "Hi." The voice said. I turned around and it was Ethan. We never really talked. We had a few projects together and we saw each other in the hall but we never actually hung out before. "Hey what's up?" I said with a smile. "Nothing really. How are you?" He asked. "I'm doing better." I said. "That's good. I heard about the crash. How's Mark?" He asked. "He's doing better too. He fractured his hip and broke his arm. It could've been worse." I said looking down. "Yeah. What happened to you, you look pretty okay." He said scanning me from my head to my toes. "I got minor amnesia and some glass cut my side open real bad." I said lifting my shirt up so he could see the gash on the side of my body. "Jesus dude. That looks like it hurt." He said looking at the scar carefully. "Yeah it did. I mean it still does sometimes." I said. "Well I'm glad your feeling better man." Then the bell rang. "Well I'll see ya second period." He said walking away towards the Spanish room. "Ya see ya." I said waving as I headed toward math class. I couldn't really do anything since I was so far behind so I just sat in the back of class, working on other stuff or listening to music. Mr.Kenon my math teacher said he wouldn't count everything I missed against me and since the unit he's teaching is almost over. I get to sit in the back of the class and listen to music or whatever. Which is pretty cool in my opinion. I decided to play some music. I really miss Mark. It's pretty lonely other than Ethan. I guess I'll just listen to music. I picked the playlist Mark and I created together. The first song that came on was one that he added. It was like his favorite song for like forever. It was Lost boys by Ruth B. I decided to just go with it and I started relating to it.
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And when sometimes he would go away, too
