I walked out of that hospital confused, everything was happening so fast.
I mean why am I doing all this for a girl I just met?
I needed to skate, clear my mind.
It was seven and It got dark fast.
I sat on the side of the road like a hobo.
Cars passed leaving shadows on my face, I felt like my life was a movie.
I mean think about it.
A new girl moves here, I fall in love so easily with her, she ends in a coma and I'm left...tell me that doesn't sound like a movie plot.
I wasn't sure about loving Mary, yet I was so certain that I did.
What if she doesn't even live? What if she doesn't even remember me?
All these possibilities flew through my head.
I stood up, and held my thumb up.
I didn't want to walk.
I waited only for about ten minutes and a truck pulled up.
"You need a ride?" The guy asked.
Duh, or else I wouldn't be hitch hiking dumbass- no I didn't actually say that I was quite polite.
"Yeah, can you maybe give me one?" I asked.
"Sure get in." He opened the door from the inside.
Once I got in the truck, I regretted it for some reason, like a gut feeling.
I looked the guy up and down.
He had tattoos, and gauges, black hair and looked familiar.
He had an empty bottle of vodka in the cup holder.
"Had fun last night?" I laughed pointing at the bottle of vodka.
"Oh yea, a blast." He laughed.
"I didn't catch your name?" I asked.
"It's Cade." He cheesed the biggest smile.
What was he smiling about?
"Why you cheesin?" I laughed.
"I know you." He said.
"You're Shane." He looked over at me..
"Yes, that's me." I laughed again.
Okay?
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Oh my house." I replied.
He laughed "Where's that?"
Oh yeah, ahha. Now I feel dumb.
"Oh it's on warps avenue, 4224." I replied.
He didn't reply.
"So how do you know me?" I asked.
"I was at a party, and um some people were talking about you." He said.
I just didn't get a good vibe from this guy.
"Oh okay." I didn't bother asking what they said because if it was bad about me dating a minor it might be awkward for him to tell me.
"I heard you're fucking a minor." He stated.
"What the hell?! No, not at all." It really pissed me off he had the balls to say that.
"That's what I heard." He replied.
"No, I'm simply seeing a minor." I said.
He smiled.
Okay.....
"Plus I'm her legal guardian now." I added.
"Really???" He looked over at me.
"Yep. Just made it official at the hospital." I replied.
"Why were you there?" He asked.
"Well, my girl." I swallowed. I didn't want to say what happened because it hasn't really set in yet. I was also afraid to cry just by hearing my own voice giving the tragic news.
"You wanna talk to me about it?" He said.
He seemed concerned.
"Mary and I know one another." He added.
"Wait, how did you know it was Mary?" I asked.
"Oh, I heard. It's a small town." He replied.
"Well, she's fucked up." I said.
"How bad?" He asked.
"Really bad, she may not live. Right now she's in a coma." I choked out.
He bit his lip, and sped up.
"Sorry." He said taking deep breaths?
"Don't be, it's not like it's your fault." I said looking out the window.
He didn't replied.
The rest of the ride was silent.
We finally pulled up to my house, I was hoping to end the awkwardness.
"Thanks for the ride." I waved as he pulled away.
I walked up to the door using the spare key.
My mom and dad weren't home yet they decided to stay longer with my family members down in Tennessee.
When I got inside I changed into a onesie.
c:
I then made myself some mac&cheese.
I loved Mac and cheese with a passion.
I turned on the television and slowly ate my food.
I turned my phone on, I forgot I had turned it off in the hospital.
I had a few text messages from Sean.
"Hey!" the first one.
"There's a bonfire tonight!" was the second one which was only sent a four minutes ago.
A bonfire eh? That sounds like a idea.
"Who is all going to be there?" I text him back.
It wasn't long till I got another text from him.
"It's at Austins, A whole bunch of people."
I thought a bit longer, I wasn't good in crowds. But maybe that's what I needed right now.
"Okay I will be there soon bud." I text him back.
I got up and put my mac&cheese away.
I went to my room. I looked through my closet and saw nothing interesting.
I decided to go with a summer tank top that had the band name "Sleeping with sierns" across the chest.
I put on some black skinny jeans.
Austin didn't live to far away, so I decided to walk instead of skate boarding there.
When I got outside I started to think.
Mary..
I never would have thought any of this would have happened this summer. So much happened already, what was going to happen later?
I pulled out my phone and was looking through Mary and I's text messages.
I miss her. I hope she is okay.
** While I walked down the street I was getting very paranoid, I was scared, How was I going to face Austin and not tell him that his best friend and being the girl he likes is in the hospital in a coma at a chance of death..
That wasn't the only thing I was scared of...A lot of people liked Mary. I haven't been upto date on who was her friends or not but last time I checked she had mostly everyone.
For examples, she had Austin, Sean, Jacob, Steven, Vince, Alex, including me.
But how am I supposed to tell all them people who love her the news that she's hurt.
I saw Austins house just few houses before me.
When I stepped on his lawn I took a deep breath. Here we go...
