Chapter 10
The ride to the hospital was quiet. We didn't say a word to each other, which felt awkward. We got to the hospital and checked in. When we sat down, Jacob had a nervous look on his face.
He smiled to someone and the worry was wiped off his face. I didn't know who he smiled at though. It was one of the doctors; he had blonde hair and looked young. Maybe they knew each other?
They called my name and I stood up to go.
When they were done stitching me up, I walked back to the waiting room with the doctor. The doctor told Jacob that I would have to get some sleep, and gave him pills for me to take if I had headaches or if I felt dizzy. Though I didn't understand why he was telling Jacob all of this, it wasn't like he was going to take care of me…
When we got out of the hospital it was already afternoon. The sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain. We walked to the car and he drove me to my house.
"Your not going to school tomorrow." He said looking at the windshield.
"Uh yes I am. " I said. Why was he going to choose for me?
"No, your not." He said back.
"I feel fine, so I'll go." I said, putting my head on the seat. I was really tired.
"Wake up." He said shaking my shoulder.
I sat up and blinked my eyes a few times. I had a huge headache and felt dizzy at once. I stared into black space for a few minutes.
"You okay?" He asked, his forehead creased with worry.
"Um yeah. Do you have the pills by you?" I asked, I need one right now.
"Yeah, here." He said as he got the pills from his side of the door.
I opened the door and was about to leave. I turned back to him. "Thanks." I muttered, though I didn't know what I said thanks for exactly.
He just scoffed and nodded his head back and forth, as if he was mad at himself or I just said something stupid. I walked out and closed the door.
I got home, and saw him drive away. Even though it was just five o'clock, I went to bed. I was too tired, dizzy and had a huge headache.
I woke up confused the next day. It was 7: 30. I woke up and walked to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I saw a band-aid on the top corner of my left eyebrow. I spent about five minutes trying to remember what had happened. Nothing came to me so I just gave up.
I took a quick shower, put on my gray sweats with a white tank top and a navy and white striped hooded jacket over it.
When I got to school it started to rain. I put my hood on and walked out of the car. I looked around the parking lot and found Jacob leaning against his car.
He started walking towards me and for a second I felt scared for some reason.
Right then at that moment I remembered everything that had happened yesterday.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm at school?" I said.
"I thought I told you to stay home." he put his hands on my shoulders and turned me around to face my car. "Let's go, I'll drive you home."
"Noo, I don't want to go!" I whined, even though I wanted to go back and sleep in my bed.
I ended up in the passenger seat and he started the car. I put my head back and slowly drifted to sleep.

I woke up in my bed. I didn't know how I got here though. I got up and checked the time. It was 12:00. I sat back in my bed and almost forgot that Jacob drove me back home.
I walked to the living room finding him lying down on the couch watching TV with the volume on mute.
I would've thought he would go back to school, I wondered if Dana knew where he was...
I sat next to his feet on the couch.
When he didn't say anything I realized he had fallen asleep.
I sat down admiring his face and watched him sleep for so long. Dana was so lucky. If I had one wish, it was to have him for me once again.
