Author's Note: This story is jumping between both of the characters, okay? It's mostly about them, with a little bit of everyone else thrown in for a bit.
Chapter 2: Foreign Skin
I felt my body fill with warmth for the first time in about 12 hours when I awoke to his chocolate pools. They were soft & caring, yet harsh & cold. He looked like he enjoyed life, so why was he here? I don't remember much about last night, but my scars tell a terrifying story, a story of betrayal & regret.
"Do…you know what happened to me?" I spoke. He turned to look & gave me no emotion. He didn't want to tell me all that happened last night, but he knew he needed to.
"…Yeah…" He spoke softly as he looked towards the ceiling, trying not to meet my eyes. He could tell that I was hurt, more emotionally than physically. "You were In a car accident, your friend was DWI, & you hit a tree…" He trailed off, & looked at her. Tears were falling down my face, but I signaled to continue.
"You had gotten the worst of it; you lost a ton of blood & you almost died." I couldn't hold back any more; I started sobbing silently as I tried turning over onto my back, but a sharp pain rose in my back. I heard myself scream in agony, & slipped into darkness once again.
"Oh shit…" He hastily reached for the nurse's button & pushed it numerous times. Before he knew it, a doctor & nurse were in the room, & they helped the girl wake up.
"Kari…Kari, are you okay?" The nurse said with worry in her voice. I looked out the window & my eyes started to smile.
"Yes ma'am. I'm really sorry for disturbing you…" I said with a soft voice. I looked at the nurse & it looked as if she melted by my gaze.
"It's okay honey! You can't blame yourself for anything. Now, if you need anything, you can call me or ask Jimmy." The nurse said as she pointed to Jimmy. I smiled widely, & he smiled just as wide. I could notice the dimples on his cheeks. They weren't too big, but just small enough to add charm to his face. "I have to go now, okay?" And just like that, she was gone.
"Thanks Jimmy." I said to him softly. He smiled at me, & I felt myself blush. He was very handsome, no doubt. However, he wasn't like most boys. He was a total gentleman, & it was as if his blood was made of milk & honey, based on how sweet he was.
"Don't worry about it. Since we're going to be roomies for a while, we mind as well help each other out." He said as he twiddled his fingers. I giggled a bit; he did the same thing that my brother does when he's nervous. I wonder if he is. I heard the door open & I saw three people standing in the door. One had blonde hair & hazel eyes. She was pretty; I wish I was as pretty as she was. The other girl had auburn hair & honey brown eyes. I could tell by the twinkle in Jimmy's eyes that she was his girlfriend. The third person had slicked down hair, uncategorized brown eyes, & deep, full lips. He seemed to have a ton on his mind.
