You're My Forever

Can't Write | 79

Wednesday... 

Yesterday I unwillingly stayed home from school. Everyone, Jack, my parents, even Jack's parents was making me stay home and rest for a bit. But I didn't even rest that much yesterday. I actually spent a lot of the day practicing to walk with my sprained knee and practicing to write and do other everyday tasks with my sprained wrist.

I did get better at walking but I definitely still had a bit of a limp. As for writing and what not, I did not improve much on it. I wasn't too bad at it since it was mostly my wrist that hurt, but there was a bit of pain/numbness in my fingers as well. Plus, the wrist brace was getting in the way a bit.

But anyway, today I was going to be going back to school. I was nervous, but I was ready for it. 

So, I carefully got out of bed and put back on my wrist and knee braces. After that, I walked over to my closet, still with the annoying limp. I put on a red cropped t-shirt along with some grey sweatpants. It was pretty hard to get dressed but I managed. After that, I tied my hair half up half down, brushed my teeth, then went to school with Jack. 

Once we stepped out of his car when we got there, Jack started being way overprotective with me. I was clearly able to walk on my own despite the limp but Jack was still there with his arm around me for support. It was obviously a little annoying because I didn't need his help but it was mostly cute and funny. 

Jack dropped me off all the way up at my first period class before leaving to his own. 

I walked into the classroom, still with my small limp and took my regular seat. A minute later, I saw Lucas walk into the room and walk up to our table. Both of us greeted each other quickly with smiles as he sat beside me. 

"Hey Roni." Lucas spoke up after a few seconds, turning to me a bit in his seat. I looked over at him. "Yesterday I heard--" He suddenly stopped speaking as he squinted a bit, his eyes also furrowing while looking at me. I furrowed my eyebrows a little bit as well. "What?" I asked him, clearly confused but chuckling a little bit as well. 

"Is that a.." He began to say as his hand raised, his thumb caressing my upper cheek a lightly. "bruise..? It looks like you have like two bruises on your face.. and now that I'm looking closer, is that a cut too?" He looked more concerned now. 

What? I thought that the bruises were hardly noticeable since they were almost gone and same for the cut. God dammit...

"Um.. yeah, they're bruises.." I said a bit awkwardly. "Really?! H-How did you get them?" Lucas asked me quickly, even more concerned now. But before I could answer, he spoke up again. "Wait, Jack didn't do that, did he..?" He asked me quietly, his eyes widening. "Wha-- NO! Of course not!" I answered quickly, chuckling a little bit because that was just ridiculous. "Ok, ok! Just making sure.." He said, raising his hands in defense. 

"What actually happened was I was in a car accident on Monday. And I also got a sprained wrist and knee.." I sighed as I said the last part, holding up my arm so he could see the wrist brace. His jaw dropped as he looked down at my wrist before looking back at me. "Actually..?" He asked me quietly, looking and sounding shocked. "Sadly.." I shrugged. 

"Well are you ok?!" He asked me, suddenly much more louder as he looked at me up and down quickly before meeting my eyes again. "Yeah," I chuckled because his concern was cute. "I'm fine now. The bruises and cuts are pretty much gone and the sprains should heal within two weeks. And I did have surgery for internal bleeding but that only hurts when I forget to take pain killers." I explained to reassure him. 

"Are you sure you're good to be at school though?" Lucas asked me. "Yes, I'm fine." I said with a chuckle.
