When it All Comes Down

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

    I have been walking for at least thirty minutes now and I was stupid tired. Why did I do this to myself? Well on the plus side I got to see my dad today. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone and dialed Zero’s number. Maybe he’ll pick me up if I ask him. The phone started to ring… and ring… and ring… then it went to voicemail.

    “Hey Zero, I was just calling to see if you were ok. You know since you didn’t come to school today. So when you get this message call me back, okay? Love you.” I hung up the phone. Sighing I looked through my contacts, stopping when I came to Adam’s number. Please let him answer. I tapped the call button.

    “Hello?” Adam answered after the second ring.

    “Adam! Thank God!”

    “Hey Angel, what can I do for you?”

    “Can you come and get me up? I don’t feel like walking anymore because I’m a lazy turtle.”

    “Uh, ok?  Where are you located, Angel.” I stopped and looked around for a street sign.

    “I’m on First Street and apple drive.”

    “Ok, I’m on my way.”

    “Thanks Adam.”  I replied happily.

    “You’re welcome Angel.” woot! I don’t have to walk anymore. I looked around to make sure no one was stalking me or something. Sitting on the curb I waited for Adam to arrive. About ten minutes passed I was still waiting.

    “Hey Angel!” Adam yelled getting out of his red and black Charger.

    “Adam!” I jumped up and walked over to him. I was so happy to see him that I hugged him. “You don‘t know how happy I am to see you.”

    I gasped when I looked at him. “Adam, your face, it’s almost back to normal.” well it was there was no swelling at all anymore. There was minor bruising but they were fading away.

    “Yes, I know, my face looks better know.” he said while keeping his hands on my waist. I raised my hand and touched his face.

    “It’s a freakin miracle! Dude, I thought you’d look like an ogre when I saw you again.” I said honestly. Well I did think he would look like an ogre after what Zero did to his face.

    “An ogre?”  He asked in disbelief.

    “Yeah! Like Shrek, but you wouldn’t be green you’d be black, blue, and purple!”  Whoa, maybe he’d look scary? No, wait he’d look bad ass. He’d be all like, ‘I’m not Shrek, bitch. I’m his evil twin brother Jerome.’ Man that would be bad ass. 

    “Your mean, tell me again why I came to get you?”

    “Because you love me?” I singed as I skipped to his car and slid in.

    “So, where’s your boyfriend at? Why didn‘t he come and get you?”

    “Well, I don‘t know where he is, I haven‘t seen him all day.  I called him before I called you and he didn’t answer.”

    “Trouble in paradise?”

    “I don’t know. Amber told me that she slept with him yesterday night. I don’t know if I should believe her or not.”

    “Well, why don’t you just ask him?”

    “I haven’t seen him all day remember. We just went over this.”
