Jacob separates from me, I am still in shock. I can only hear him shout a few words that I dare not repeat to the irresponsible driver. I feel him standing in front of me,
—You're fine, that idiot didn't get you wet, did he, — he said as he looked at me.
When I manage to react, I tell him not to nod. I look down at the floor and see that his pants are soaked.
—Thanks to you, I didn't get wet, but no doubt you did, — I said as I pointed to his feet.
— Wow! I worried more about you, I didn't realize it, — he said as he gave me his best smile.
I don't know how he can laugh right now. In gratitude I told him to go to my house to wash his pants, but he refused. We both took our respective cars and drove in opposite directions. When I get home I take a relaxing shower, and in return with the towel I throw myself into bed, I was so tired that I had no strength to take my pajamas.
I wake up all agitated, I had again that nightmare of the accident, I see in the alarm clock that it is still early in the morning just 4 o'clock in the morning. I get up, look for my purse and take my mobile. I call my sister Ana, after two rings she takes it,
— Fuck Bella, it's 4 o'clock in the morning! What do you want, — she said half asleep.
I understand her reaction, I'd feel the same if someone called me at this hour, but I just wanted to know that she was okay,
— Are you all right, Leah, — I said as I sat on the corner of the bed. I needed to hear her voice and be told that everything was all right.
—You had the nightmares again, hey, — she said. You can tell he knows me well.
—Humm, — I said.
—I'm fine, Bella, it's been about 6 hours since I injected my insulin, and it still doesn't touch me for another three hours, satisfied, — she said.
—Okay, I'll let you sleep, — I said while I was feeling calmer after hearing that it was okay. Then I'll wait for this end, — I said, but I was surprised. He told me that I could not go to this end which had many things to do. I was saddened, but I understood her. It had to be her own life and she couldn't depend on me all the time.
When I finished talking to Leah I couldn't sleep, I started to go round and round in bed and when I thought that I finally got back to sleep, the alarm clock rang, —Rays, —I said to myself while I stretched out my arm to turn it off. I didn't realize when I fell asleep again that when I was able to react it was 8 in the morning. I was very surprised, got up quickly and went to the bathroom, but at that moment I remembered that today was not my day to work.
Since the cafeteria was open every day, Jacob had decided that we should work in shifts. Luckily, he didn't touch me today, so I cleaned and brushed my teeth anyway. I got my break from exercising and went running like I did every morning. It was a way to keep my mind entertained and I didn't think about the nightmares I always have that don't let me sleep.
Halfway down the block I feel the phone ring, and when I go to see who it was, a smile of happiness blossomed on my face, and it was Sam.
—Hello, — I said in a sweet voice.
—Hello, — he said. How was your day yesterday, I'm sorry I couldn't have been here, but..." he said but I interrupted him without stopping him from finishing the sentence,
—Don't worry, these things happen, — I said to him. — Where are you now? You feel agitated, — he said in a worried voice.
—I'm running, I always do it every morning, — I said.
—But you don't have a job today, —he said in a tone I didn't like at all.
—No, today is my day off. I told you what my job is like, — I said while I could feel that I was still angry. —You're in the hospital, -I said to change the subject
—Yes, and that's why I called you, maybe I can't come today to see you, I'm on guard, but don't worry, tomorrow I'll come and see you, — he said while I was feeling a little sad.
—Now I don't have him either, — I said to myself.
—Don't worry, I understand you, then I'll see you tomorrow, it's a promise, okay, —I said
