I'm in a updating frenzy, wanting to really update all of my stories that are incomplete. Sooo...2 down, 3 to go! I've been having writer's block for this story, and this is the only idea I have soo...thanks Castaway girl, Romione4evz, and sophiainterrupted for reviewing! Enjoy!
Clare's POV
I opened my eyes, and see the sun blazing into my room. My phone started ringing, and I grabbed it. My very first phone! Eli texted me, and I smiled.
ELI: Hey there, beautiful
I blushed reading the message. Jake called me, and I left my room. Walking down the stairs, a sudden bolt hits me, sending me to the ground. I scream, as my head hits a step. "Clare!" Jake shouted, and ran up to me. He picks me up bridal style, bringing me down the stairs, to the couch. "Are you ok?" Jake asks. I shrug, as my entire body feels numb, as if I can't use them anymore.
"I was scared…you were hurt." Jake whispers. Why would he care? "I really like you. You're pretty, smart and sexy, and cerebral palsy is misleading other guys." Jake confesses. I look into his eyes, and I realize they're green. They're not as emerald and beautiful as Eli's eyes, but they're nice. Jake leans down, and our lips meet. This is my first kiss, from a guy. Randall, before he left, never really has kissed me, ashamed of my disability. I felt tingly, as I'm kissing Jake. I've seen it on TV, were girls would basically get horny around a guy…it's stupid.
"Would you be my girlfriend?" Jake asks, as he's getting his phone out. I nod, blushing. "Helen, can you come home…now." Jake asks. Jake nods a few times, and picks me up. Surprisingly, unlike most cerebral palsy patients, I didn't weigh much, and I was about a hundred pounds. At my therapist, there's this girl that's my age, with cerebral palsy, and she weighs about twice as much as me.
Jake carried me to his car, placed me in the passenger seat, and drove to the emergency room. After some X-rays and tests, Mom and Glen came. "Oh Clare, are you ok?" Glen asks. I nod, laying on the bed. "Clare Martin?" A doctor comes in. "Us." Mom replies. "Your daughter, lost her ability to walk. Her balance though, is still there. So she's still going to have to be in a wheel chair, but can move her arms." The doctor informed us. "But…we paid thousands for the operation!" Glen yells.
"I'm sorry…but that's not our problem." The doctor says, and starts laughing. "Excuse me!" Mom screams. "You are a doctor Of our fucking society that laughs at a waste of cost?" Mom screams. I stared at her, surprised. "Forget all of you!" Mom adds. "Helen, calm down." Glen whispers. "No!" Mom screams. A doctor comes in, and sedates her. "This isn't fair." Jake says, and I nod.
Eli's POV
"CeCe…how can I impress Clare?" I asks, eating an apple. "Tell her your feelings." CeCe replies. "Ew…I should ask Bullfrog." I answer. CeCe rolls her eyes, and snatches my apple and takes a bite.
"There's a high chance that'll work." CeCe backs up her idea. "Sure it will." I tease, and turn on the TV. "At the De Grassi Community Hospital, a mother of two is sedated because of an outrage in a failed operation. Nancy Brown live to interview the bystanders." The lady says. I start laughing, but stop when I see Clare, Jake, their Dad Glen and their Mom passed out on the floor.
"Clare Edwards-Martin, cerebral palsy patient." The screen displayed, showing Clare. "Clare, how does it feel like to have this disease?" A reporter asks. Poor Clare…if only the idiots of a reporter knew her condition…
I know, really short chapter but I have Spring Break this week so I'm determined to get over writer's block! Review please!
