Me & Her [gxg] | NOT EDITED

Twenty-Five

"So why are we here?" Reid asks.

We arrived about 45 minutes ago. Neither of his parents have shown up.

"Because you have a minor concussion," I say, "Did you call your parents?"

"No," he says.

"Reid," I complain.

He then gets up. I go to stop him but I see his brother.

"Hey, Shauna," he says walking over.

"Hey," I say, "Chandler, you look great."

"Thanks," he says, "So what's uh wrong with Reid? Off meds or something."

"No..." I say, "He hit his head pretty hard."

"Oh, um... is that it? No new meds or anything?" Chandler says.

"There's these," I say and hand him a paper to pick up a prescription, "he needs to take it easy. Where's your mom?"

"She's not coming, I'm just here to take him home," he says and takes the paper from me.

"Oh," I say, "Here's his keys." I then toss Chandler Reid's car keys that I used to drive here. Chandler probably walked here to be honest. He walks most places.

"Thank you Shauna," Chandler says as he puts an arm around Reid to keep him from wandering.

"Thanks," Reid says.

"No problem guys," I say as they leave.

Now. Where can I get a ride home. I take out my phone.

"Hey Shauna, what are you doing here?" I hear a familiar voice say.

I look up to see Nelson. He looks good considering how many surgeries he's had. He's wearing some tan cargo shorts, a partial floral patterned and opaque red sweatshirt, some shell bracelets and some black vans.

"Oh my god Nelson!" I say and hug him, "I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Shauna," he laughs as we let go, "It's been less than a week."

"Well I miss staying with you guys," I say.

"Well," he says, "I'll be gone soon. So I guess you guys can hang out more."

"Wait what?" I say.

"I'm moving back to Santa Monica when I'm done with my recovery," he says.

"Aww! Nelson, I'll miss you!" I say.

"So yeah," he says, "But uh.. Kacey is home, probably laying on her lazy ass or something. You could come over, I have to run a few errands later. But I could drop you if you want."

"Nah, I don't want to ruin anything," I say.

"C'mon Shauna," he says, "Kacey misses you!"
