Second Chances

My Pathetic Life

It was just one of those normal days where you fall down the stairs after your dad tells you that you just won a 25 dollar gift card to Barnes and Nobles
I know you may be thinking- Seriously Kendall??? You freaking out over a gift card?
Yep I know.... That's how pathetic I am. Like 25 can't get you even 3 decent books and Barnes and Nobles yet you manage to fall down the stairs?????
Returning to the present, I was currently a mangled object with limbs sticking out all over the lying at the bottom of the stairs.
Fun.
"Kendall!!!!!" my dad yelled. He came bolting into the living room where I was lying.
My dad gets very paranoid if I get hurt now a days because when I was 8 I broke my arm when I fell off the monkey bars. I also twisted my ankle when I was 12, cut myself so bad so I had to get stitches when I was 14, and to top it all of , I broke my left leg and my right thumb when I went dirt biking with my uncle in Arizona the day after my 16th birthday. It's safe to say that I've never done any of those things again. (Except cutting things because I love to cook). So here I am, 17 years old and still can't manage to get down the stairs without taking a tumble
"Kendall! What are you doing? I just told you about you winning the gift card and 2 minutes later you manage to fall down the stair, tsk tsk..."
"Dad!?!" "I'm hurt and you're complaining?!"
"Kendall, it sounds like you're the one complaining right now." " Can you get up"
I started to get up but felt a dull pain in my shoulder
"Dad... my shoulder hurts can you look at it?"
" Kendall stop whining"
See, that was my dad.
I limped over to him and my dad look a look at my shoulder
"Did I break it?" I asked
"Oh Kendall if it was broken you would be in excruciating pain right now not asking questions. And you will probably have a nasty bruise there and swelling for a couple of days"
My dad is a doctor with a Ph.D in medicine. His full name is Dr. Thomas Jones ,M.D. Pretty fancy, right? He knows all kinds of medical things, far more than my mom knew.
"Dad, can I have my gift card" I asked
"Kendall!" My dad barked "you don't think I'm going to let you go out with this bruised shoulder are you? No, you can go pick it up tomorrow when the pain lessens a bit." " I'll have Alec bring some ice for you"
Alec is my little brother who is 14. Not so little right? But I'm still super protective of him, like if our roles were switched. When my dad isn't home, I make sure he get his homework done and don't allow home to stay up past 10:30. His curfew is 9:30 and he can't go to any parties that have alcohol. I guess my dad doesn't want him to turn out like my mom when I was little. Not that I was ever drunk. I've never even had alcohol in my life. But now a days you can't go to any high school parties without there being booze and all that kind of junk.
"Kendall, go to your room and lie down"
I got up from my chair and hobbled up the stairs to my room. The plush carpet soon hit my feet and I immediately collapsed in my queen bed and engulfed myself around with pillows.
Minutes later, Alec opened the door holding a pack of ice
Alec and I look sort of the same, we both have brown hair and the same facial structure with a few freckles here and there. The only difference is our eye color. My eyes are the boring color of milk chocolate and his are a beautiful sea green with a hit of blue. He inherited those from my mom while I got my dad's. I'm still jealous of them.
"Here you are Kendall,"he said in a monotone
"Well, can you bring it to me at least?"
He sauntered over to me and dropped the ice into my hands and walked out of the room
Wow, what's wrong with him?
I held the ice bag then positioned over my sore shoulder
I could have been picking up my beautiful gift card right now and be wondering what to buy with it but nooooo. I'm stuck in my bed with a bruised shoulder and nothing to do but sit around
I have such a pathetic life :(
