Chapter Sixteen. Bra Bandit.

A week later.

My eyes open and close slowly, I stare at the tv in front of me, playing an oxy clean commercial. I huff, "This is the eighth time they've played this stupid commercial."

"Why are you so grumpy?" Zoey asks.

"Well, for starters I was hit by a freaking car. Secondly nobody will believe me that I was hit outside the school. And lastly I was hit by a car, my body hurts, and I really need to pee."

"I know, I know." She places her hand on my knee. "I'm sorry. I completely get it. I don't know why I even bothered asking. Sorry."

"No, I'm sorry for snapping at you."

"Jordy."

I cringe, my ears actually hurt when she said that. I don't know why, she calls me Jordy all the time, never once have I cringed or thought twice about it.

She waves her hand in front of me, "You okay? I was talking to you and you completely, like, zoned out."

I nod slightly. "Yeah.... I just-" Why did that make me cringe? I get lost in thought and stop talking all together. This is going to drive me crazy. I know I don't really remember the night I was hit, but something about her calling me that reminds me of it, but why?

"Jordyn."

"Huh?"

"Maybe I should take you to the emergency room. This isn't good."

"No I'm okay."

She stands up and straightens her dress. "I don't know, Jordyn. You aren't acting fine. I know you were in an accident and this is probably expected. But you haven't been going in and out like you are. This just... doesn't feel right. I'm going to call Mason." She picks up her phone and taps a couple of times before placing it to her ear. "Hey Mason...Yeah...well actually, I don't-I think you should come home, Joel will understand if you leave work a little early, she's not acting well.....okay-yeah, see you in a few." She tosses the phone back onto the couch, "Okay, let's take you to pee."

A few minutes pass, we walk out of the bathroom. "Can I just lay in bed, please?"

She nods. "Of course!" She helps me climb onto the large bed, bring the blankets up over me. "Are you comfy enough?" She asks with a hopeful smile.

"Yeah I am. Thank you Zoey." I wrap my arms around her. "I love you."

She hugs me gently, "I love you to, Jordy." She pats the blankets on top of me and kisses my forehead. "Get some rest, I'll come back and check on you in a few." She closes the curtains and exits the room, only leaving a small crack.

I roll over and moan as I lay on my rib wrong. I flick my eyes open and look at the little bit of light that peeks through the curtains. I sit up and try to take a deep breath before hopping off the bed. I walk out of the room and down the hall. Before I round the corner I stop.

"She keeps saying she was hit by the school." Mason says.

"Yeah, she kept talking about it the whole time while you were at work." Zoey tells Mason.

He sighs and clanks something in the sink. "Yeah, I don't know where she's getting that from."

I quietly walk into the kitchen and try to grab a cup out of the cabinet.
