Behind it All

Chapter Four

The end of the school day finally reached. As the bell rang, I put my stuff in my locker and walk over too my friends. "Hey guys! Ready to go on our walk home?" I cheerfully ask them.

"I'm sorry, I would, but Rebecca's mom is driving us home. There's not enough room in the car for one more person..." Susie says, slowly scrunching up hoping to not offend me.

"Oh.. Okay.. Have fun guys.. I guess.. " I look back and forward from Susie and Jake, making my last glare towards Rebecca. I throw my bag over my shoulder angrily and walk off. I can't believe it,

I've been replaced!

I plug in my headphones into my phone to listen too music while I walk home. I dose off on my journey home.

!!HONK!!

My vision becomes clear once I open my eyes. I immediately see a tiled roof. Confused, I look around my surroundings. "Wha-Where am I?" I reach my hand up to the skull of my head, and I feel a bandage wrapped around it. I look next to me seeing a heart thermometer.

'AM I IN A HOSPITAL?!'

I rapidly look around, down too my hands, body, and legs. Once I do, I immediately regret it. I was in a body cast. I hear a knock at the door and turn my head towards the direction. The door handle twists and opens, I see my mom and a doctor come in the room.

"What happened to you?! Are you okay? Are you hurt? I can't believe you blindly walked in front of a car like that! I got a call from the school and your grounded, but that's a conversation for later. How are you feeling?" She bombarded me with questions. I look at her confused, not remembering what happened.

"What? I jumped in front of a car? What happened?" I ask her confused, squinting my eyes in confusion. My mother and the doctor looked at each other in worry.

"Miss, what do you remember about yesterday?" The doctor asks me. I think hard, trying to regain my memory.

"Well, I faintly remember leaving the school alone after my friends leaving me, but that's about it. Everything went dark suddenly. I don't know what happened." I answer truthfully. I left out the part of my friends and I's conversation, knowing that my feelings wouldn't make a difference anyways. All that will do is slow things down and cause them more worry. Not like I care anyways.

"Well, you have 4 broken bones, and 5 torn legamins. Both legs are fractured and you seemed to be in a coma for a while." The doctor informs me sadly. Wait.. What?!

"How long have I been out for?!" I ask in disbelief and shock, wanting to jump up in my seat but being unable to move, due to the cast and the immense amount of pain.

"3 weeks I believe." The doctor answered, positioning his glasses pushing them up with his finger. He held a clipboard full of filled out paperwork in his hands and a file about my past health in his hands. I can't believe this, has my friends even came to check up on me? Did they forget about me, or even care?!

"Has my friends come to check up on me at all?" I ask shakily to both the doctor and my mom. They just hesitantly shake their heads as my mom's hang down low. They looked genuinely sad for me, but I wondered if my friends even knew about this. If anyone had noticed that I haven't been in school. Or better yet, if they had been hanging out with Rebeccah the whole time. God did I hate her. She took my fucking place. And now look at what happened.

They don't even care about me anymore.

I'll show them what abandonment feels like.
