I'm Not Sure What Happened

chapter 11

Sunday goes by quickly. The officers didn't have to stay at our house anymore Alex and I just hang out at watch movies all day. The next morning I quickly get ready for school. I decided that I will drive Alex to school in my car. I grab my keys off of my desk and beat Alex down stairs since he was probably just getting up. I had already gotten breakfast and everything. Alex comes down the stairs and stops in the living room making sure he has everything in his backpack.

"I'm driving you to school." I say.

"You...driving....me?"

"Um yeah. That's what I just said. You know I can drive right."

"Well yeah but do you have a car?"

"Yeah what do you think these keys are for?"

"Okay okay. Let's go."

We head to the garage and climb into my back. I open the garage and pull out the driveway. I drive us to school and park in the parking lot.

"I'm not gonna lie, you aren't as bad of a driver as I thought you would be."

I slap his arm, "That is very rude!"

He just starts laughing.

"I won't give you a ride back if you say that again."

"Okay I won't."

He smiles at me and we go inside. The school day flies by and it's finally the end of the day. I beat Alex to the lockers and finish getting ready before him. I run over to his locker where he is just putting in the combination. He goes to open it but I slam it shut. He glares at me.and I smile back. I let him open his locker and get ready to leave and then we head out to the car. I quickly get in and lock the doors. I laugh as he tries to get the door unlocked.

"Hey! Unlock the door!" He says with his had on the handle.

I quickly unlock it and lock in again. He pulls on the handle and I start laughing. He comes over to my side and bangs on the door.

"Will you just unlock the car!"

I unlocked it again and he goes back over to the passengers side and climbs in. I really wanted to lock it on him again but I decided not to.

"You know that was annoying." He says looking me in the eyes.

"Your welcome." I say with a smile.

He finally smiles at me and says, "but you are very cute."

"Well I thought we would go a different way to my house. It may take a bit longer but it's worth it."

"Okay."

I start the car and pull out of the school parking lot. There beautiful trees on each side of the road with the sun shining from behind. The row of trees end and I'm back on the normal road. There were still a few trees but the we're behind a ditch in the road. Alex quietly sings to the music but I don't say anything afraid that he'll stop. His voice was soft and sweet.

"That was great." Says Alex as he stops singing.

"Yeah its really pretty. That's why I sometimes drive home this way."

"Thanks, I really liked it."

"Your welcome. I also really like your singing."

He face goes bright red, "thanks."

"Your welcome, it was really good."

It goes silent and I don't say a word. Suddenly a car slams into us and my car spins out of control. I try to stop the swerving but it doesn't work. I go off of the road and crash into a tree. The glass of the windshield was broken from the branch and on my side the windows were also broken. I was shaking as I pull up my legs onto the seat. I had a few cuts on my hands from the glass. Alex already opened up his door and started sliding out.

"Olivia?"

I look up at him and he holds out his hand to me. I climb over the center and onto the other seat. I take his hand and he pulls me up out of the car. He reaches his hand to my forehead.

"You bleeding."

"What do you mean?" I whisper.

"You have a cut on your forehead."

He wipes the blood away. We're close to each other as he wraps his arms around me and holds me as close as he can. I lay my face against his chest and wrap my arms around him holding part of his jacket. He let's go with one arm pulling out his phone.

"I'm gonna call my dad real quick."

I just nod my head. He continues to rub my back as he calls William.

"Hello?...um we have a problem.....well we are on the side of the road and....no we're fine....yeah well this car slammed into us and Olivia's car crashed into the tree....okay....okay....bye"

He puts away his phone and puts his other arm back around me.

"My dad's on his way. Do you wanna go sit down and wait?"

"Sure." I mumble.

He lets go of me and keeps his arm around my waist. I sit down by a tree that's not to far from the car and Alex goes over to the car. He pulls out our backpacks and comes back over to me. He sets them down and sits right next to me. I lean into him as he puts his arm around me. I fold my arms and lay my head on his chest. He holds me close to him rubbing my shoulder with his thumb.

A few minutes later William pulls over from the road. There was also a tow truck probably to take my car along with a police car. Alex and I stand up pulling our backpacks over our shoulders. William gets out of the car and runs over to us. He hugs as both at the same time.

He leads us over to the truck and Alex and I both climb in. William leaves us closing the door behind him. I watch as he heads over to a few other people who had gotten out of there cars. Alex turns to face me looking into my eyes. I finally turn my stare off of William and face Alex.

"You okay?" he says studying me.

"Yeah...I'm fine."

He reaches his arm around me and I lay up against him. A while had past and I felt so tired. I pull up my legs onto the seat and reach my arms around Alex. I look up at him to see him smiling down at me. I smile back and move to get comfortable. I end up folding my arms in my lap and laying my head on his shoulder. He didn't move his arm from around me though. Finally William comes back to the car. He opens the passengers side were Alex is.

"Are you two okay?" William asks.

"Yeah, we're good." replies Alex.

"The ambulance is hear but I thought I would just check you two up myself here in the truck. I brought the stuff I will need from the ambulance there just waiting for me to finish up."

"Okay...thanks."

I didn't want to talk so I stay silent. I sit up and Alex lets go of me. William first checks up Alex standing outside the truck. Once he is done he closes the door and comes over to the drivers side. He opens the door and climbs in next to me. I turn to face him. He starts cleaning the cut on my forehead and I wince at the pain as he puts it to my head. He holds the back of my head with one hand and keeps on cleaning it.

He finishes checking me up. He then gets back out of the truck leaving the door open. He comes right back and climbs in closing the door behind him. We all put our seat belts and William drives us home.

After dinner the three if us sit down in the movie room on the couch together. I sit on the side while Alex is in the middle. I had already gotten into pajamas along with Alex. Alex had wrapped a blanket around his legs. I pull a blanket onto me and pull my feet up onto the couch. I feel really drowsy but try to stay awake. I end up laying my head on Alex's shoulder. He puts his arm around me and I fall asleep.
