The Raven

Close your Mouth, You'll catch flies.

Beep.. Beep.. Beep.

I slowly came to my senses. My eyes were heavy, I couldn't move them. My whole body felt heavy. I could feel a presence next to me. ' How can it be.. ' I heard a voice say. ' Why her.. She's so innocent. Why would you pick her? ' It was almost as if he - I had made the conclusion it was a guy- was pleading with someone or something. My mind started to drift away. I was slipping back into darkness. 

••••

Sniffle. A sob broke out. ' Come on honey. Lets take a walk. ' A familiar voice said. A chair scraped against the linoleum floor, I could hear a door open then close.

My eyes still wouldn't open. Nothing would move. Suddenly the door opened again, and once again closed. I felt something touch my hand. Thank the lords!! I'm not paralyzed! If I could let out a huff of air I would have.

' I'm so sorry Princess.. ' The voice from earlier said.

I tried to open my eyes, and this time they did. I blinked again to try to save them from the blinding white, that surrounded me. Finally I was able to see I was in a hospital room. And an boy was holding my hand... Sitting next to me... That I had never met in my life.

I tried to talk but nothing came out, my throat felt like sandpaper. " Here, drink this. " The boy said, holding a glass of water in one hand while lifting me up with the other. He lifted the glass to my lips and I gulped it down.

I leaned back, trying to scoot back so I was sitting as the boy sat back down. He looked like he was resisting the urge to touch me.

" Um.. Who are you? " I finally managed to ask.

He had dark brown shaggy hair that I just wanted to run my fingers through, and blue eyes as clear as the ocean. He was wearing a Black V neck shirt and khakis. I couldn't help but notice his muscles showing through his shirt.

" Cole Anderson. " He answered studying my face. " Well Cole, why are- AHHHHHHH! " I screamed out from the pain in my head, my hands shot up to my head cradling it in between my knees. I felt bandages wrapped around it.

Cole shot up from his chair and to the door yelling Nurse into the hallway. But just as fast came to me and scooped me into his lap. As he rocked my back and forth.

I should have been trying to get away from the him, since I didn't know him. But somehow.. I was comfortable then ever around him. The pain started to subside by the time a nurse actually was in the room. 

*********** One Week Later ***********

I sat in my window seat starring at his house. He hasn't visited me since my accident. Once the nurse was in the room he kissed my forehead and left. Ive see him outside of his house, Carrying a little girl across the street, every once in  awhile. But as i sit cooped up in my room he hasnt bothered to talk to me.

I took a deep breath today is the first day of school. I am now a senior at Jackson High. I sighed and stood up, having to move slowly because i get dizzy still. Walking over to my Closet I pull out  pair of black ripped skinny jeans and a Gray V-neck. I throw those on and walk into my bathroom.

 I just tease my natural waist lenght curly hair a little and put on my eyeliner. My eyes wonder up to my 13 stitches on my forehead. I shake my head and walk out into my bedroom over to my jewelry box. Finding my  diamond encrusted Infinity ring from my dad, and my junk necklace as i like to call it. It has little things attached to it from over the years. 

And for the finale touch I put on my black leather jacket. Grabbing my Black converse, Ray bans and my keys i head out the front door to my Black Aston Martin One-77. Guess you could say it a gift for not being around from my parents.
