LEAH'S POV:

We finally arrived at the hospital, 10 minutes later. Chris went to get a wheel chair so it would be easier than just carrying me. I started to think about this whole "liking Chris, but dating Kyle" thing. I mean, I just met Chris. For all I know, he can be some type of weirdo with a stuffed animal collection. Anyways, he most likely has a girlfriend and wants nothing to do with me. Kyle and I have been together for a long time. It's just, whenever I try to talk to him, it seems like he never listens. I don't know, I am very confused.

15 minutes passed and Chris was still not back. How long does it take to get a wheel chair? Aren't they usually right by the door when you walk in? I decided to close my eyes and relax for a bit, until he comes back.

I was just about to fall asleep when someone tapped on my window. I opened my eyes, surprised at who I was looking at. I thought it would be Chris but no, it was an old man. He had a very long beard, a bandana around his head, and cigarette hanging out of his mouth. I rolled down my window to see his face more clearly. Even though his skin was really tan, his eyes were probably the brightest shade of blue I have ever seen.

"May I help you?" I said with a very strong tone.

"Yeah, do you know where the nearest gas station is?"

His breath smelled exactly like alcohol. Oh and his teeth? Worse than George Wahington's, but I replied politely.

"Sorry,no"

"Alright thanks"

You would think that after he said that, he would leave. Well, no. He stayed right there staring at me. I was very uncomfortable. Where the heck is Chris?

"Young lady, you look a lot like my sister. Same hair and everything"

"Haha thats nice"

"Seriously! It's as if y'all could be twins!"

"Now isn't that weird"

"Sadly, I haven't talked to my sister in years.She left our family with no notice. That little rascal could be anywhere right now."

By this point he was leaning on the car, but still looking at me.

"Well, I am sorry about that'

After that is was an awkward silence.I mean, very awkward.

"I forgot to introduce myself! Mark Daniels at your service."

He reached out his hand for a shake. I had to be nice, so I took his hand and shook it gently.

"Funny, cause my mom's maiden name was Daniels before she got married"

"By any chance, is your mom's name Lorie?"

"Um yeah actually."

"Oh sweet Jesus. I think your mom is my sister."

"HAHAHAHAHA! Sorry sir but I doubt it."

"You look just alike though!"

"Sir, I hate to disappoint you, but there is no way you are my uncle, or that my mom is your sister"

"Alright fine. Ask your mother if she had a brother named Mark. If she says yes, give me a call"

He grabbed my hand and wrote his number down. I was very annoyed at this point.

"C'mon. Many people have the name of Mark Daniels in this country. Just because she has a brother with that name, does not mean it is you."

"Then tell her the words fried brain, if she gets it, she is my sister. No one in this world will understand but my family."

"Ok fine."

"Look sweetie, I gotta run. Rememeber! FRIED BRAIN!"

"Yes, I will rememeber,"

With that, he walked away. What the heck just happened? I am so scared but also confused. I rolled up my window and looked around to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Ugh. I took a huge sigh. For a second there, I forgot my knee was broken. That reminds me.....where's Chris?
