The Girl In The Ripped Jeans

Chapter Seventeen

Andy Gray

The car ride to his house was silent, I didn't want to talk as I had to much thoughts running through my head.

When we got to the house, it was dark out but I could see Drew's house was well taken care of.

I stepped out of the car grabbing my bag also my gym bag and kept my head down letting my hair cover my face.

Drew lead me to the porch and unlocked the door, " Um, no ones home except us."

" Thanks for letting me know?" I questioned what I said.

" I didn't want you feeling uncomfortable or anything," Drew replied scratching the back of his head.

I nodded my head in understanding.

" I have band aids and all that in the bathroom just bring your bags with you," Drew said.

I just gave him a nod and followed him to the bathroom and dropped my bags near the door and stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do.

Drew made his way towards a cabinet and took out band aids and other stuff which looked medical.

I widened my eyes seeing he had all that in his bathroom.

Drew saw the look on my face and chuckled, " My dad is a doctor," he explained.

" Ahh that explains it," I said pointing at the stuff.

" Just take a seat on the counter," Drew said pointing towards the counter connecting to the sink.

I headed towards the counter and was about to pull on myself onto it though as I was about to do so, I winced and fell forward towards the floor head first!

Drew immediately dropped the supplies on the counter and lifted me up onto the counter, " Hey you alright? Hard fall. You have to rest that leg Andy," Drew said softly removing the strands of hair in my face and looked at me concerned eyes.

I was too embarrassed to look at him so I just put my head down.

" Guess I'll get started then," Drew said.

I didn't reply and just sat there.

Drew was careful through out the whole process from taking the bandage off, cleaning up the blood and putting on liquids and cream for the leg, and putting on a new bandage.

He didn't make me wince once, it was calm and it was the most relaxed I felt all day to admit.

No doubt Drew will become a doctor himself one day. No doubt.

After he was done, he picked me off the counter and said he would be in the kitchen and left me to freshen up.

I closed the door to the bathroom and I was all alone.

I looked at myself in the mirror. What did I do? This was supposed to be a new start... Today was one hell of a day, I thought this new start would be easier... But my past will always haunt me, I keep acting the way I'm not suppose to be. I'm not a rebel or the out going girl, I really am not. But I appear like it without knowing.

I sighed and widened my eyes and noticed I'm wearing Lizzie's clothes. If I came home like this Peter and Katie will ask more questions and then one way or the other I'll spill about where I was, at track... With my leg in this condition... They'll be more worried about me. Great!

I opened my backpack and took out the clothes Katie had sent me, the one's I left wearing from the hospital.

I quickly changed into them. Skinny jeans with my leg like this? Really Katie? Really?!?

I managed to change without hurting myself and then quickly put Lizzie's clothes, which I guess are mine now since she won't take them back, and this Justin Bieber gym bag, I stuffed the clothes in the gym bag and strangled it into my backpack.

Sure there is a big bulge but... They won't notice. Hopefully.

I then washed my face and hands and open the bathroom door slinging my backpack to the side.

I put my head up and see Drew staring at me from the door frame to the kitchen.

" Do you want something to eat?" Drew asked.

I clutched my stomach and smiled, " As much as I'd love to, I think I should get home ASAP."

" Yeah, yeah, let's go, I'll drive," Drew said picking up his keys from a near by table and I followed limping, I was going home.

Uh oh.

I was getting in Drew's car and he was going to drive me home.... To Katie and Peter.

I can't do this.

"D-D-rew... I can't. Go home. I-I can't," I said my voice shaking.
