I Kissed A Boy: Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten (Blake's POV)

"Me? You love me?" Danny asked, as if the word sounded foreign on his tongue. I sighed and just shook my head.

"I don't want to talk about it... Look, I didn't mean to ruin your life. I just hated not seeing enough of you, so yea, I sort of set up the whole blackmail thing just so I could get closer, but it just made things worse and I'm sorry. Yea, yea," I snorted, watching his eyes widen in disbelief, "I know, I know. I'm a huge douche bag that everyone hates and I should go die. I've heard it all before, but right now, the main priority is getting you to the hospital. That needs to be treated."

To my relief, Danny said nothing and just nodded very slowly. I knew he didn't want to be seen with me, especially here, so I waited until the bell rang for the final class and I helped Danny to his feet. He limped a little and I went to help him, but thought better of it and hung back to let him take the lead. We left the locker rooms, peeking around to make sure everyone was in class before we headed to the office.

The office staff made a huge fuss over Danny, who couldn't even muster a smile at them like he normally did and just stared at everyone as if he were expecting to be smacked or something. I winced inwardly before I led him out to my car. I helped him into the passenger seat and buckled him in before we headed down the road.

"Man, this sucks." Danny sighed after a while. I didn't say anything and that made him grunt in irritation. I could tell, even without looking, that he was making that face again. Damn it. You'd think he'd know better.

"So, all this crap because you have a schoolgirl crush on me?"

"It's not a crush, Danny."

"... So, it's the hardcore crush?"

"It's the hardcore I love you now shut up feeling."

"So what now?" Danny asked. I rolled my eyes as I pulled into the hospital parking lot in town. I got out and helped him out of the passenger seat.

"Nothing," I told him as I steadied his wrist, watching him wince and grit his teeth in an attempt not to bite his busted lip, "I take you in there, make sure you're okay, drive you home, then go home myself."

"You're just gonna leave me?" Danny asked. A prick of hope flared inside me, but I wasn't about to let myself fall into it again. It hurt. I didn't want anymore than I'd have to deal with. I shrugged.

"We're taking a break... If you want, we can just take a break period. I won't blackmail you anymore and you don't have to be tied down to me. Just go home and try to make things right." I said quietly as I used my jacket as a makeshift sling, tying it at Danny's neck. He stared at me as I stared back without saying anything before I started to lead him inside.

Again, he was silent. Part of me was uneasy about that. He was so talkative. Had I completely crushed him? Did I seriously just ruin his life? It made me ache as I walked into the emergency waiting room, watching as a nurse leapt up, rushing over to help along with a doctor. Danny gave me a quick, worried look before they escorted him down the hallway. I watched him go and highly considered taking off and just letting him call his parents, but I wanted to stay.

I couldn't leave him here alone. He obviously didn't like hospitals and he'd freak if he came to the waiting room where he'd be alone until his parents showed up. So, I turned and sat down in a seat, sinking low and folding my hands in my lap.

And I waited.

And waited and waited and waited, until I swore I almost exploded. Seriously, if anyone wanted to commit the most heinous torture of all, make them sit in a waiting room. It was Hell, not knowing how long it was going to take until Danny was at least somewhat okay, no recent magazines to read, no Internet... The only thing that was really driving me nuts was no Danny.
