Polar Opposites {l.h}

Chapter 13

I smiled as I looked down at the paper.

I don't know why, but it made me feel kinda giddy, knowing I had Luke's number. I've had it before when he still came to school, but I deleted it after he left.

I was kinda mad at him when he dropped out though. He was my first friend at high school, and then he just goes and leaves me all alone again.

But then Jack noticed how I was all alone again, walking to class by myself and eating lunch in the library. He started asking me out to dates again and next thing I knew, I was his girlfriend.

Because I was girlfriend, I had to sit with him at lunch all of a sudden.

I didn't know anyone at the table he sat at but, I had to admit, they seemed pretty cool. They were always laughing and cracking jokes, but not the mean kind which I liked.

They never talked about me, or my physical self at least, in a mean way. They didn't point out my insecurities or make fun of me.

Each day, I started opening up to them. I noticed how easy it was to talk to other people again. To laugh a real laugh, and smile because I was  genuinely happy.

I was happy again.

But everyday, I still thought about Luke.

I thought about things like how high school would've been different having him as a friend through the years, or knowing he was there to help me through everything.

Sometimes, I even thought about things like, what would've happened if...Luke was my boyfriend. Would he have been protective? loyal? romantic? supportive?

Of course, it was stupid imagining those things because Luke and I were friends at the most. He would never ask me-

"You ready to go home?" Jack said, interrupting my train of thoughts.

"Huh? Oh! Oh yeah...yeah." I said.

"You okay? You sound kinda out of it."

"Oh no. I'm fine. Just..uh....tired." I said and yawned to prove my point.

"Oh okay." he said and turned on the ignition.

"Damn. What time is it?" I asked, too lazy to check my phone.

"12:53"

I grunted.

"What the hell was that?" he asked and started laughing.

"What?" I said, clearly confused.

"That...sound!" He was still laughing.

"A grunt?" I said laughing at his stupidity.

"Oh! It sounded weird!"

"Uhh....sorry?" I said, not sure how to react to what he said.

"Haha....yeah." he said, his laugh dying down. Then silence.

God, why am I so awkward? We've been dating for almost 2 years, and I still can't manage a day without seeming uncomfortable around him.

As we drove closer to home, I started getting sleepy, my eyes slowly closing.

We were a couple minutes away, but every minute of sleep counts, so I tried to get some shut eye.

I noticed Jack was getting tired himself. He would start to doze off and kinda swerve off the road, which made me panic. Then he would wake up again and drive back into our lane.

It happened a couple times and I started to get worried.

"Hey?"

"Huh?"

"Are you okay? Do you want me to drive?"

"No, it's fine.

"Sure? We're just a couple of minutes away."

"Exactly. I can make 10 more minutes of driving." he said.

"Fine."

I decided to finally sleep.

As my eyes started to close, several things started to happen.

I felt the car swerve out of our lane again, but this time we didn't drive back into the lane.

I turned my head to face Jack, to see he was fast asleep at the wheel.

The last thing I saw was my phone light up with someone calling me, before everything went black.
