Chapter 11

Now what do I do? I can't believe Tyler lied to me. I just want to hide under a rock and never come out. Nicki wants to kick his butt but i asked her not to. Steven is so mad at him he punched a hole in the wall. I felt fine on Friday when everyone asked me if I was okay.

"Hey Steven." Tyler says to my brother at football practice. Steven looks away from him. "Steve I wasn't trying to hurt her. I promise." Steven glared at him.

"I don't wanna talk to you. i might hurt you." Steven says. He walks away from Tyler. Tyler looks around at the other guys on the team. At this point the hole school new the scoop. I didn't tell anyone but everyone knew. If that makes sense. I was not mad at him, I was just hurt and felt hopeless.

My mom was away with friends for the weekend, and my brother was spending the

weekend with Halie who just came home from the hospital. So it was just me and my dad. Nicki said she might come over on Saturday but she wasn't sure. My dad walked in the house and i was watching T.V. in the living room. He walked in the room and sat next to me.

"I think I want pizza tonight, some hot cinnamon sticks and some ice cream." He says.

"Sounds great dad." I say smiling. He stand up and walks to the kitchen. I hear him on the phone. When he hangs up I walk to the kitchen.

"I'm going to go take a quick shower upstairs." I say. My dad nodes. I run up stairs, take a quick shower and get dressed up. I got down stairs just as the door bell rang. I walk over to the door and open it.

"Hi." I say to him. He smiles at me. "Dad i need the money." I yell.

"No, he payed with his credit card, Abby." He says. I look up and it's Koda.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't realize it was you." i say.

"It's OK. Most people don't ever look up when i deliver then pizza." He say.

"You work at Papa Gino's too." I says.

"Yup. I'm saving up for a place of my own." He says. My dad walks to the door.

"Abby. The pizza won't eat itself... O sorry." My dad says not realizing that Koda was outside.

"This is Koda dad." I say.

"Hello. If your not working you can join us." My dad says.

"My shift just ended. I'll just call my boss an tell her." He says. I was kind of glade my dad let Koda stay. Koda walked into the house. My dad looked at me.

"Don't feel like you have to stay here. Go up stairs. As long as me and Abby can have that ice cream." My dad says smiling.

"I won't want it any other way." I says with a big smile. I run up stairs with Koda.

Me and Koda talked for a long time. It was like 9:30 when we started talking about Tyler.

"Wow girl. I'm surprised our ok. I am happy to hear you not mad at him." He says.

"No I'm not mad at him, I'm just hurt. I wanna no why he never told me. Like what was I going to do...

"Flip out. Kind of like your doing now." Koda says interrupting me. I looked at him. He was right. "Abby, he didn't tell you before because he didn't want to hurt you. And why should he have to tell you."

"Koda. If it wasn't for the bet. He would of never even thought twice about me." I say.

"So. Everything happens for a reason. It doesn't matter what could of happened. He talked to you and that's the most important thing. Whatever the reason is, the point is it did." Koda says making sense. I look at my wall. He was right. That is one thing i can't stand to say, i was wrong, or your right. I was hurt by what happen but the most important thing was it make him change. What have I done. My friends hate him and so does my brother. I then thought of Olivia. She was the person who did this. She is the enemy here.

When i finally went to bed. I didn't sleep. I stared at my ceiling. Olivia words ringing in my ear. I had this power that i have never felt before. I wanted to fight for him, but a part of me wouldn't move. What was i fighting for, to prove a point, to throw it in Olivia's face. This wasn't me. In the morning I got ready for school. It was very hard with no sleep to get up. I pushed myself through it. The school day went by slow. When I got home my dad was sitting on the stares.

"Hi Dad..." My dad had this sad look on his face. "What happen."

"Honey, Halie was rushed to the hospital again. She had a securer." My dad says. I grade my keys and fly to the hospital. Halie's mom was in the waiting room.

"Melissa!" I yell running to her.

"Abby." She says hugging me. Halie's mom looked just like she hasn't slept in a long time.

"Did you tell Carlos." I ask. Halie's mom and dad stayed together for Halie but split when she entered high school.

"Yes. He is on his way." She says. Steven walks in the hospital.

"Sorry, I didn't rush here. I figured they wouldn't let anyone see her." He says.

"It's OK. You're here now that's all that matters." She says. We see a doctor walking to us.

"Mrs. Sanders. Your daughter will be fine. Just in case we will keep her her for a week. I have to say your daughter has the will of an ox. She will not have any mental problems. Just some short term memory lose. Just don't let her medication on her own till we no what bad it could be." He says to us. Melissa was in Carlos arms when the doctor finished. For two people who didn't love each other they had a wired way of showing it.

So today, I went a hole day without thinking of Tyler. Surprised? Well so am I. I got a text from Nicki.

Omg girl. Koda asked me out tonight. I can't believe it. I just thought I'd tell you. Lov ya girl. I smile at my phone. I was so happy for her. Let's see what happens in the next few mouths.
