She was Jennifer
He was James
In the teenage world full of crushes, drama, fun, and tears, Jen and James thought they've seen it all. Since birth they've been inseparable. Now, it's the ending of summer and the beginning of their senior year at Heav...
The awkwardness of the situation was felt in the air.
I wish a hole would develop in the floor for me to jump into...
Did I really just kiss my best friend IN FRONT OF HIS PARENTS?!
It's not even that though.
It's the fact that everyone in the room, except for me, seemed super calm and collected as if nothing happened.
How were they not freaking out?!
I can't tell if my cheeks were red from the embarrassment or the heated kiss.
It might've been for only a short amount of time but it still had me feeling flustered.
We really need to have that talk soon.
Before things could get more awkward, I cleared my voice, and James, who had still been holding onto me, moved off of me and spoke up.
"Sorry guys, um, I guess we kinda got sidetracked." He said while scratching his wrist.
A thing he does when he's nervous.
I finally raised my head to look at James's parents and they both had slight smirks on their faces.
Wtf, why were they smirking?
"So, uh, yeah, I'm alive and safe now so..." I said awkwardly.
"It's ok Hun, we know y'all have been wanting to get together since James told us that he had a wet dream-" Papa Bear was cut off by James coving his mouth.
He whispers something in Papa Bears' ear and then nods as if he's agreeing with himself.
I just sat in place silently, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
Mama Bear almost looked as uncomfortable as I felt.
The reason behind it, Papa Bear whispered something in her ear after James told him something.
"Anyway, now that we know that you're alive and that your parents won't cut our heads off, we're gonna head back home and just call either one of us if something happens. We'll see y'all later." Mama Bear gave me a tight hug and kissed the side of my head, following after Papa Bear who already said his goodbyes.
She did the same with James but pulled his ear down to tell him something.
What's with all the secrets?!
When they finally left, I felt like I could breathe a little easier.
I looked toward James and he had the same expression I had.
It read 'wtf is wrong with me, why did I just do that' or that's at least what I think it says.
I know damn well that's what I was thinking about.
All of this confusion made my brain feel like it was swelling up.
A migraine came hard and fast at my head and I had no choice but to lie back in the uncomfortable hospital bed.
I tried to summon James over to get me some water but when I didn't work, a sharp pain shot through my head and I began crying.
The sound of me crying was enough to get him over to me within seconds.
"Baby girl, what's wrong? What can I do?"
I couldn't speak.
My head felt like it was trying to break itself in half. When he noticed the pain I was going through, he immediately bought me some water and some of the pain meds that the doctor prescribed.
After about 20 minutes of taking the pills and water, my head soon became lighter and my eyes got heavier.
James left the room to get some food for us.
The last thing on my mind was that I need to talk to James about us.
I tried to convey that message with my words before he left.
He just said that the meds were getting to me and left anyway.
When it didn't work, I reached for my phone and sent him a text through Siri.
At the last word, sent, I let the darkness consume me.
