erika pov
i woke up to jake shaking me gently.
erika:*moan* wh...what? (rubbing her eyes)
jake: we have to get ready come on i'll help you up
i reach out my hands and grabbed jakes as he pulls me up. when i got up i had to hold on to him for support until i grabbed my crutches
erika: thanks blondie
jake: you got it *winks*
i hobble over to the stairs than i get on jakes back so he can bring me up the stairs.
erika: you know i can get up the stairs by myself?
jake: ehh... what's the fun in that
i rolled my eyes
jake: ohh come on you know you like it when i carry you up the stairs *moving his eye brows up and down*
at this point jake was putting me down and turned to face me
erika: i mean i'm not complaining *shrugs*
jake blushed a little then grabbed my bag for me so i could get dressed. when i hobbled out of the bathroom,
i was getting tired of using my crutches even though jake has been literally been carrying me around. so i ditched the crutches and hopped on my right foot to the island in the kitchen.
jake: erika what are you doing?!?
erika: getting food! is there a problem
he walks closer to me
jake: uhh...yeah (looking down at my knee) where are your crutches?
i pointed towards the bathroom where they were leaned up against the wall.
erika: there! *dinking her smoothie*
jake: why are they over there and not here??
erika: cuz i didn't feel like using them so i hopped of here
jake just stands in front on my and gives me the look the dad look. i couldn't take him seriously so i giggled trying to keep it in but couldn't
jake: why are laughing?
erika: cuz your giving me the dad look that's why*giggles*
jake:*laughs a little* go get your crutches!
erika: yes dad
then i get up using jakes shoulder and hop away to my crutches.
jake pov:
i watched as erika hopped away to get her crutches then i hear tessa
tessa: JERIKA! CHALEX! THE BUS IS LEAVING!
jake: okay BE RIGHT THERE!
tessa: hurry!
jake: hurry up crip! we gotta go!
erika: i can only go so fast
i laughed as her walked out the door
erika: what you laughing at blondie?
jake: ohhh nothin.... let's goo to school *laughs*
when we got into the car i helped erika into the front and sat behind her. when we got out of the car a huge mob of people came racing over when erika got out of the car, throwing questions at her left and right.
girl: omg are you okay
dude: what happened
girl: did alissa do this
dude: if she did!
girl: wow jake why are you here shouldn't you be with your "girlfriend"?
i should stand this anymore so i got up on the pic-kink table
jake: HEY*shouting*
everyone zipped there lips to hear me speak.
jake: i know, i know y'all think i'm on alissa's side. well news flash kids alissa cheated on me with my own brother! the only person i could turn towards was erika....don't worry i saw what she did to erika i wish i could have been there faster but i couldn't...i also know that she has been posting shit about me of what i did to her, but known of that is true ask anyone i wouldn't harm anyone unless they were to threaten me or my friends in any way. ask them if you'd like?
everyone: is it true?
erika: yes it's true! jake is sweet, kind, funny and caring no matter what situation were all in he's there for me and i'm here or him we all are. (pointing at the squad)
squad: i couldn't have said it better!
jake: therefore what ever alissa is saying about me is bull. we all know she's just looking for attention, cuz we all know she likes you spotlight! *putting up jazz hands* now before we all get in trouble let's get to class!
everyone walked away and chanted "JAKE! JAKE! JAKE!"
throughout the whole day as i walked in the halls with my squad everyone i saw was helping each other out here and there but life ain't perfect but at least i created a difference! what if i did that more often? but how? what if people don't like it? what if?
erika pov:
not going to lie jakes speech i guess you could call it was really motivational to everyone because people in the halls were actually being nicer to each other lately. at this point it was time to go to the nurse office.
erika: jake!
jake: yeah rik?
erika i have to go to the nurses office, wanna come?
jake: yeah sure!
erika: then let's go
we walk down the hall to the nurses office.
nc: how you feeling erika?
i got up on the bed thing
erika: i mean my arms kill from being on these thing all day, but my leg i can't really feel it or bend it with out it killing me.
nc: i'm going to take off the wrap and brace to see what we are dealing with right now, okay?
erika: yup
once the brace and wrap are off she grabs some gel like lotion
nc: i'm going to put this on your knee and massage your knee
erika: okay
as she rubs my knee i can feel the sharp pain coming from my knee and it hurts
jake: here *offers his hand*
i grab his hand and squeezed it when she would massage where it hurt the most.
nc: all done! now i want you to bend it as much as you can and keep it there so i can write it down, okay?
erika: yeah *deep breath*
i bent my knee as much as i can which wasn't really that much it was like maybe an inch, going from a straight leg to a sem-i straight leg with the slightest bend.
nc: okay, so what i want you to do when you get home or anytime your just sitting down elevate your leg and try and bend it but if it hurts to much than don't. also i'm going to give you some of this gel to help relax your knee and put it on before you go to bed and when you wake up for the next 4 days.
erika: yes ma'am
just than the nurse walks out to get new wrap and a brace.
jake: you okay?
i was still holding his hand
erika: *sighed* it just hurts but at the same time it feels a little bit better *sighed*
jake pulled a chair besides me and puts his other hand on my forehead
jake: it's gonna be okay, i promise we are going to get through this together
i looked up at him
erika: but what if it not going to be okay?
jake: rik don't what if your self your going to be able to get back out on that field before you know it.....just believe in your self i know i believe in you.
erika: thanks jake!
nc: okay well— oops did i interrupted anything
jerkia: no
nc: okay, erika i'm gonna wrap you back up and you guys can head off to your next class.
erika: thank you
before i knew it my knee was wrapped
nc: well have a good day you two! (she walked away)
jerika: we will
jake stood up over me
jake: need help? *reachin his hands out*
erika: yeah
he pulled me up and put my arm around him for support so he could grab my crutches
jake: here you go crip!
erika: thanks blondie!
our faces were inches apart but we just looked into each other's eyes.
jake: come on we are gonna be late!
he opens the door and we are off to class.
