Are You Scared Yet?

Mark My Words

I sat in the hospital bed and got bored with myself so i figured i'd turn the TV on. The first channel was the news...BLECK...so i turned, and then this old black and white soap opera came on. So i figured the news wasn't all that bad. I turned back and pulled some chicken noodle soap next to me as i began to sip on it.

[A young girl has just been dragged out of the Kerk River] My eyes went to the TV [bystanders reported her to have been floating downstream...locals say she wasn't anyone who lived by her] She stopped holding on to her headset [They reported her name to be Janay]

My whole upper torso popped out of the bed, and my eyes were glued to the screen. It showed her coughing up water as they tended to her...she's okay. That was all i could think about.

I called Carmen up, her phone rang three times until i heard her voice.

"Carmen, it's me Cameron" I said in a slightly panicked voice

"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked

"Sorry if you were busy...but i need a favor" I said waiting for her approval for me to continue

"Yeah, and where have you been you're not in school" She said

"Because,i hurt my leg" She cut me off with her worried to death words

"What how?" She shouted

"I fell out of a window...long story, but you have to spy on Princeton for me" I said quickly changing the subject

"Wha-" She said deeply "I heard about that Cam...why do you keep taunting this boy?" She asked and i could tell she was giving me one of those 'looks' through the phone

"I'm pleading right now Carmen...him and his little crew will one day do something you're heart won't be able to bare...i'm not sure what that is yet, but mark my words it'll be bad" I told her

"Okay...what do you want me to do?" She asked a big sigh leaving her mouth

"Just watch him...you'll see what drama i'm talking about" I said hanging up the phone

I sat lonely in the bed and my eyes wondered around the room. Then my eyes fell on the big banquet of flowers. It confuses me how he's another person one second, and then he's the sweetest. But does he really get abused. My head fell as i was ashamed of myself...if he's being abused he really doesn't need my drama, but honestly can you blame me he does do some things which can make you worried about his health and yours.

How do you go about a situation when you're unsure exactly what's happening around you...you try so hard to save someone...even though you're not sure who you're saving...is it you, or the enemy

I dialed a number i got just in case

"Hello?" His voice answered

"Yeah...Ray, Can you come down to the hospital...I have some _things_ we need to discuss" I said as normally as my nerves could bare

"Uh, yeah sure" He said staying calm, i heard him stay on the line, but i clicked off staring blankly at my leg

I tapped my fingers on the table next to me as i waited patiently for Ray to arrive. He's taking forever i feel like i called him yesterday now. Then i hear a soft tap on the hospital door.

"Knock, knock...can i come in?" I saw Princeton's face and i felt nervous

"Depends...are you done with your throwing people out the window phase?" I asked looking down and rolling my eyes

I heard him sigh "I know your mad, but trust me Cameron it was for your own good" He said as he sat in the chairs across from me

"Yeah, well now i can't go anywhere because i'll be on crutches" I told him not making eye contact
