No Way Out

Chapter 12 - Let Party Start

Chapter 12 - Chance

I woke up. Not that I wanted to it still.

I was released from the hospital two days after, they wanted to keep bans on me and make sure that I was alright and well, no mental problems or physical. It was stupid really. I keep telling them I'm fine, but they just won't listen.

Turns out the story was that Jace was supposedly 'passing by' and heard one of his favorite songs, stopped by and followed the music. He stayed outside for a while as a bystander to just enjoy the music but suddenly, as he was about to leave, he heard the loud feedback screeching noise, a gasping sound from a the player and then two thuds. One obviously the guitar and then the other me. He burst through the doors and instantly ran back out to get somebody to get me to the emergency room of the hospital.

Great, thanks to his little 'help', I now have to explain to the school why I was in the music block, unattended and supervised, as well as why the buildings insides was in such pristine and working condition when it was abandoned for the technology centre.

Whoop-dee-flipping-doo.

Jace tried to get closer to me, always trying to talk to me. But I just flipped him off, still pissed that he ruined my chance of dying and also because that I just didn't want to speak to him. He kept telling me that he's worried about me, that I should seek more medical advice and help. I hate it when people keep saying I should get help, what am I? Crazy? I'm fine. I don't understand all this fuss.

I was now getting into the uniform that I was in a few days ago. Great my whole weekend is used up, being stuck in this hell hole. It's Monday now and I'm going home. School tomorrow, I wonder what it'll be like. Probably like normal or extra whispering around me from the news of me. Also probably detention from using school building and it might count as vandalism for redecorating their music block. At least Sebb will be there.

Which reminds me, something quite odd happened also yesterday, Sebb came to visit me. I was shocked as well as quite unsure how to react to his put of the blue visit. I sat in my bed, like a stone, blank faced and eyes slightly wide from surprise to see his face for the first time since a while. Well I've seen him around and about at the school but we never really made eye contact or conversed with one another.

"Hey," he said, slowly walking in, closing the door behind him. In his hand, he held a gift wrapped box, not too small but not big either, probably no bigger than an A5 book. It wasrather pretty, a thin black box, with a lid, and a pale purple ribbon tied on top.

"Hey yourself," I said, unsure of what else to say. It was growing awkward.

Sebb pulled a chair towards the bed and sat by me, I just sat there stunned in the bed. I reached for the remote and turned off the random sitcom I had laying in the background to fill the silence and distract me from the annoying beeps.

"How are you? I heard you collapsed," he said, worry in his eyes. He was quite sincere, I wonder why.

I shrugged and closed my eyes, resting my head on the wall behind me, "I'm as good as gold, perfectly fine. They just won't let me out."

Sebb nodded, "Well they're just trying to make sure that you're okay."

"That's the thing, I am okay. This happens all the time, I don't see why they're making a big fuss. This is all Jace's fault," I said, huffing and crossing my arms over my chest. My hospital gown made a crunching sound under my arms, crinkling and wrinkling. How I hate and loathe these ugly things.

"All the time? What do you mean, this happens all the time?" Sebb said, looking panicky at me.

I realized my slip of the tongue. Trying to cover up bats at as possible, I raised an unconvincing eyebrow at him and acting confused, "What are you talking about? Did I say that? Oh silly me, slip of the tongue," I laughed it off.
