Saved by the bad boy

Chapter 12: Reality

Thursday; At Axels house

"Oh, now I get it."

"Do you?"

"No. But I'll try to learn."

I smile, "I love that confidence Axel. You won't learn this after 2 weeks of sessions. But you will soon."

Yep, that's right. It's been two weeks, and honestly leaving on the street is horrible. I've lost more and more weight, considering I haven't had breakfast or dinner. Sure, I've had lunch everyday, but overall I think I've lost like 10-15 pounds. I've fainted a few times, but only after school.

He sighs, "I hope so. I need to pass this class or I won't graduate."

"Are you only failing math?" I ask him.

"I have tutors in other classes, so I'm getting better at them, because they've been tutoring me longer. I'm getting a 75 in every other class, except math, where I'm getting a 50." He says and lays down in his bed, while I spin around in his chair.

I stop spinning and look out the window that in his room. It's pouring rain out. Thunder booming 3 times a minute, and lighting striking 2 times a minute.

I like the rain. It relaxes me, and it might be the only thing that does.

It's going got be fun sleeping on the bench in the rain.

"You've been here for 4 hours. I think we're finished for today." Axel says, pulling my out of my thoughts.

I shrug, "Ya, I guess your right."

I stand up to start grabbing my books, and shove everything in my backpack.

"Bye Axel, see you tomorrow." I say and grab the door handle.

But before I can actually turn the door handle, I feel light headed, I can barely stand, and I'm swaying back and forth. I fall onto the ground, the impact not hurting me at all, being to busy trying to get rid of the ringing in my ears. But I can't move. My arms and legs are numb, and my eyelids are heavy.

Then I blackout.

——————————————————————————

I wake up in a comfy bed. I groan from the light and try and shield my eyes.

I look around the room and realize I'm in, Axel's bed? I think so.

I'm pretty surprised that I fainted. I know I shouldn't be, but I am. But I did say that I only fainted after school, and I tutor Axel after school so I'm not sure what I expected.

I'm hungry. And I should eat. Even though I'll get even uglier. But my health comes first. I say that and I haven't eaten a full meal in 2 weeks.

I look at the clock and realize that it's still Thursday, 11:56pm to be exact. I got to go home. Now.

I very ungracefully get out of bed and stand up. It's then that I realize that I'm in shorts and a tank top.

Thankfully, Axel lives only a few blocks from me. I could surely just walk. I mean, ya, it's almost the end of October, and it's freezing, but what other choice do I have?

I can't just stay here, and be a burden. But I guess I should leave a note. Just so they know I wasn't kidnapped.

Dear Axel,
Yes, I left. I didn't want to be a burden. I went home. Thank you for talking care of me, but I don't need your help anymore. I don't want to seem like a charity case. I'm not too sure what happened, or how I fainted or why, but I do know that I'm fine.
