Chapter 4-Father, hear me pray
For some reason, he makes me say things that I'd never say to anyone, but by the look on his face, he knew I was right. I would never get over it. I mean, Erica was my best friend, or at least, I thought she was.
You see, she's like any American teenager, her parents were on bad terms, her brother was shot and killed, and her so-called boyfriend had been slapping her around. Therefore, she used alcohol to make herself feel better. Soon enough, she became a full pledged alcoholic. Two nights ago, she asked me to ride with her. I was sleepy, and she drunk so much, it was almost as if she wasn't drunk at all. So, like a dumb ass, I got in the car with her. After a few miles, she turned off the road into the woods, going for a large tree. And the rest, you should already know.
"Kari? Are you okay?" I head Jimmy say. It was then when I realized I was crying. I wiped my eyes and smiled at him.
"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?" I tried to convince him that I was fine, and it was a losing battle.
"Because you're hurt, and stuck here with me." Jimmy said jokingly, and we both laughed.
"But, I like being stuck with you." I said in a flirty voice. I do not know what's wrong with me today. Maybe it's because of the accident, or maybe it's because we're alone. Silence. It was killing me. Was he ever going to respond?
"I like being stuck with you too." He finally said. I smiled a bit to myself when I saw him lick his lips a bit. From that moment until the nurse came with our dinners, my eyes were fixed on them.
"Okay! Steak and rice for Jimmy," She passed the first plate to him, "…and some chicken fajitas for Kari. Enjoy!" She then passed me the second plate. I instantly started to eat my food, while watching 'Wheel of Fortune'. We talked, laughed, and flirted all night. It was then 'Lights out', and there we were, sitting in our beds, staring into each other's eyes. The moon was bouncing off his eyes, the hospital lights were bouncing off mine.
"…Jimmy?" I asked quietly as Jimmy looked up at me. He smiled as a way to acknowledge my presence.
"I think…I think I like you." I blurted out, and I felt myself blushing deeply. As I said before, this wasn't me that was talking. He was turning me on in all sorts of forms, and my lust was taking over my tongue.
"I think I like you too…" Jimmy said sincerely as I tried to keep a happy squeal down my throat. We both laughed a bit as our nurse came in.
"You love birds go to bed, now." She said playfully, and she shut the door.
We both looked at each other, and laughed as we got under the covers.
