I wake up with my head throbbing and the taste of blood in my mouth. I hear voices and see blurry movements around me. Things clear up and there are people, the paramedics from the firehouse and firemen, hanging over me and one of them is talking to me.
"Can you hear me sweetie? You're going to be fine. Just let us do the work." The blonde one says. She starts putting a bandage on my head and the tan medic is looking into my eyes with a bright light.
Try to get up but they keep telling me not to. "Stay still. You don't need to get up." Says the tan woman. I realized what happened and felt really stupid for running into the curb while staring at the big red firetrucks like an idiot.
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine! It's just a bump." I sit up and look around and see a bunch of firemen staring at me like I'm a dying child or something. Don't they have anything better to do? Jeez…
"You were out for few minutes. That's not perfectly fine." It was one of the firemen. He was tall, really buff with greyish-blue eyes and a gap between his front teeth. Pretty cute too. Tall, dark and handsome... Not that I'm a boy crazy prom princess or anything like that!
I glare at him and start to grind my teeth. "Let me be the judge of how I am why don't you!" I hate when people try to baby me. Not that it happens very often. He has no right to tell me how I am! I can take care of myself thank you!
"Well well isn't someone a little grumpy." He replies. I'm the smartass! You don't get to be the smartass Mr. I Think I'm a smartass! I don't even give him the satisfaction of responding.
I look at the blonde medic and ignore the pain in the ass fireman. She gave him a smile and chuckled under her breath. Which I don't understand! Did she think he was funny? "I'll be fine." I said trying to hide my aggravation.
"If you're sure then ok." She puts more tape on the bandage. "I've seen you around before. I'm Shay. And you are?" She asks trying to break the ice.
"Delilah. And yeah I go by here every day." She nods. "Nice to meet you. This is Dawson.." She points to the other medic "…and that's Kelley…" Ah ha! The pain in the ass "…and that's Lt Casey ." They wave and smile at me. It's starting to get a little weird all these people staring at me.
"Hey…" I smile at them except for the Kelly guy, I give him my worst mean look. I don't hate him, I just highly dislike him.
I get up and as I stand my gets a dizzy. I wobble a little and someone grabs my waist to steady me. I turn around and it's Kelly. My natural defense kicks. "Let go of me!" I jerk away, he lets go and I steady myself trying to seem tough but the truth was I my head was killing me. Allot!
"Hey, hey! Calm down! I was just trying to help." Calm down? Don't most people know that when you tell a girl to "calm down" it makes it worse? Guess not…
"I don't need your help! I would've been fine without you!" I'm blowing up now. But he asked for it soo… "No, you would've been on the ground!" He yells with a frustrated look on his face.
I guess he's used to people he helps saying "Thank you" or "You're my hero". Well not me Mr.! Not me!
"No I would be FINE! And you are an…" Shay cuts me off looking nervous and giving Kelly a look.
"Coffee break anyone?" I huff and get my bike up but the chain broke. Yay! "Ugh…" I let out a frustrated grunt bending down and trying to fix the chain.
"You can come in if you want. I'm sure one of the guys can fix your bike." She says with a smile on her face. I think I like Shay.
"Um…I guess so." Being here is better than going back home I guess. picks my bike up and carries it toward the firehouse. I follow them up the driveway.
Well this is going to be an adventure!
