When I returned home , everyone acted as if I had just come out of a coma or something, Everyone bringing me gifts like books to read so I wouldn’t get bored while recovering, Someone even brought me around a notepad and told me to get creative. But no one really asked what happened, and to be honest I was happy about that because I myself didn’t know what happened, and the doctors also couldn’t find out what had happened to me. Which frightened me because, what if it happened again…
I had to stay away from doing anything too hard on myself, which to my mam meant that I had to be bedridden. So the gifts I got came in handy after all. I started to read a book that my friend had got me, and said that it was her favourite so I decided to give it a try, it was called Percy Jackson and the lightning thief. I had only been home two days when my mam came in and told me that I had a visitor , when I asked who she only winked at me, which didn’t give me really any hint toward who it could me. And while I was thinking I heard a soft knock on my wall and heard ‘sorry eh, the door was open, can I come in?’, when I looked over I was shocked to see that it was Jake in the doorway with a bag in his hand and a worried look on his face, when I realised it must be because I had just been staring at him and not saying anything back. ‘Oh Jake, sorry I wasn’t expecting anyone today, and yes of course you can come in’ While I put down my book and fix my top and shorts. When I notice that Jake sits beside me on the bed, which made me jump, and he just laughed, ‘Sorry is this a bit too formal for you seeming that we haven’t really talked much before... Well you know?’ I calmly sat up straight ‘No you just… surprised me that’s all, thank you for coming over but , may I ask what made you, I mean we haven’t talked before?’ He just looked at me like I had just stated the obvious, sighed, ‘I came over to get to know you, and what better time to do it then when you have all this free time, and am I right?’ When I taught about it he was right, in the sense that it would be the best time to get to know someone. ‘yes I guess you are right, this would be time to get to know someone, ok then what is there you want to know?’
We talked for what seemed not that long when my bedroom window caught the corner of my eye and I realised that it must be late. ‘Oh, what time is it, I didn’t notice that we had been talking that long.’ Jake looked at his watch and done what looked like a double take and said ‘Oh, it’s 6pm , sorry I also didn’t notice the time’. Just then we both jumped to the knock on the wall from my mam, ‘Sorry to have startled you both but I just got off the phone to jakes mam and she said that Jake needs to go home, that his dinner is ready’. Jake looked at me and it looked as if he had been frowning I guess that will be me off, it was really nice talking to you , do you want to do the same tomorrow?’ It took me of guard but I didn’t notice that I had already started to say yes. He smiled at me, got up and leaned over and kissed me on the forehead and whispered ‘get better soon’ leaned away and waved himself off and headed downstairs. My mam stood there smiling, and left without saying a word only a wink. After I had dinner I just lay in my bed confused of what had happened with Jake, why did he kiss my forehead a wave goodbye would have been what I would have expected. With that I knew it wasn’t something to get worked up over that I should just go to sleep, I wouldn’t want to get no sleep and feel worse tomorrow.
I woke up to a dog barking out my back garden. I turned over to see what time it was. It was 8am , and I could hear my mam downstairs, so I decided to get up and have a shower and start my day. When I tried to get up I nearly fell, because my legs were like jelly. When I finally was able to walk I headed for the bathroom.
After having what seemed like a long time, when I got dressed. I heard a knock on my door, when I looked up I noticed it was Jake again. ‘ Hey there I didn’t come at a bad time did I?’ I glanced at my clock above him it said 10am, he came a lot earlier than I taught he would be. ‘No, you’re grand , hi how are you?’ He walked over and sat more close to me this time and just looked at me. ‘ Are you ok, you look very pale’. He was about less than a hand space away from me now. ‘Eh, I’m fine, are you ok’. Even though my heart was pounding and I didn’t know why, I don’t think he noticed that but he still didn’t buy that I was ok. He put his hand alongside my face, ‘you don’t have to lie , I can let you rest and come back tomorrow’. His hand was still on my face, and when he said that my heart seemed to stop. ‘No! , I’m ok trust me , I just done a lot more things today than I usually do. So don’t worry’. Giving a smile to him , he smiled back and then his jaw nearly dropped when he noticed that he had his hand on my face for about five minutes now. He slowly took it away looking embarrassed. After that we started to talk like we did yesterday. And as the night grew on, I couldn’t help but smile, for what seemed like forever I was finally happy, but it seemed like something else to but what? Could this be …. Could this be me growing feelings for Jake?
