CHAPTER-5
3 weeks later and i was due to go to hospital to check if my leg had healed. I grabbed my crutches and hopped into the living room to find Jude watching TV. He hadn't left me since the accident happened. It was brilliant.
"Jude im meant to be at the hospital in 10 minutes"
"Ill grab my keys we will go now"
"Okay"
He grabbed his keys and his jacket and we went to the car.
He started the ignition and started to drive. He had only left me once and that was while i was sleeping and it was only because he needed clothes from his house.
"Jude thank you for staying with me"
"Welcome. I will do anything for you"
"I know, i just wanted to say thanks because you have been with me for about 6 weeks and you must be missing your mum"
"Not really i still get to see her. She only lives down the road. I love you so i will stay with you till your better"
I smiled at him. 5 minutes later and we arrived at the hospital we went in and got seen to straight away. We got sent to a room where a doctor came in,
"Hello Miss. Scott how are you"
"Im fine thanks doc"
"Good news is the cast can come of, bad news is you won't be able to do much on your foot because it will be very very soar".
"Okay, thanks"
The doc grabbed the scissors and cut the cast of.
"You will need to keep your crutches because you will find walking painful sometimes"
"Okay can i go now"
"Yep"
Jude helped me up and we walked out the hospital.
"Do you not want to use your crutch"
"No"
We got in the car and drove home. As we approached the house, i climbed out of the car. Jude got out also.
"Jude im okay now"
"Ano but i want to stay with you"
"Go home, go spend time with your family im fine" i insisted.
"If you want me to"
"I do, see you later"
Jude got back into his car and drove off. I didn't need him with me 24/7 anymore. I was fine and i was able to look after myself. I walked into the house and sat on the sofa thinking of what i was going to do today. Then i decided i will go to Jamie's. I pulled out my phone and rang him,
"Hello"
"Hello Jamie, do you wanna go out later, I'll come to yours then we can do something"
"Yeah cool i aint seen you in a while"
"Okay see you soon bye"
then i put the phone down and grabbed my keys. I went out the front door then locked it. I opened my car and got it. It wasn't safe for me to drive but oh well. I dont care. I started the car and drove to Jamie's. I parked the car on the drive beside Hayley's and got out. I locked the doors and knocked at Jamie's door. Jamie answered.
"Hey Sawyer, you look miles better, come in"
"Thanks Jamie, so do you how's basketball coming along"
"Not so good, i can't hit a shot and i have to return to school soon, i decided im staying in Tree Hill though so i will be on the Ravens"
"Yep i am also staying and going to Tree Hill High. I will help you"
We walked into Jamie's and sat on the sofa. Hayley came down from upstairs.
"Hey Sawyer how are you"
"Im fine thanks Hayley. Im really sorry for what happened to Jamie and Lydia it was my fault and im sorry"
"Dont worry it wasn't your fault"
She came over and hugged me then disappeared down the hall.
"Okay Jamie you wanna go practise"
"Yeah i have a net in the back garden. You sure your leg can handle it"
"Yeah why wouldn't it"
"Jude messaged me while you were getting the cast of and said that you can't do much"
"I can handle it, Scott's are brave and strong"
We laughed as we headed to the back garden.
"Take a shot Jamie"
He took a shot and it missed, it went slightly to the left. I took a shot and it went in.
"Go for the jump shot"
He took a jump shot and it went in.
"Nice looks like only your standing shots are affected by your head and shoulder"
We laughed then i went for the jump shot. I did it but my leg couldn't handle the pain. It was agonising.
"You okay"
"Yeah Jamie thanks, maybe if you take it to the left a bit"
He did and it went in. It was great, it looks like he had his shooting back he carried on doing them, and every time it went in.
"Yes Jamie, you're back"
"Looks like it, let's have a 1 on 1 oh and thanks"
"It is the least i could do and okay let's do it"
it was great we had a 1 on 1. At first i was winning but he ended up winning. It was fun seeing Jamie again.
"Jamie, where are you" Nathan shouted
"Out back with Sawyer"
"Cool"
Nathan walked out into the back garden.
"Hey Sawyer nice to see you"
"You too Nate"
"Thought you couldn't shoot Jamie"
"I couldn't till Sawyer came and helped me now im back in the game"
"Good but can you hit the jump shot"
Jamie got the ball and took the jump shot. It went in.
"Boom. In"
Nathan and i laughed.
"Listen Jamie, Sawyer. The La Lakers rang me, they want me to play point guard so i accepted. I want to take the family out for a meal. So i want you Sawyer to come too, you are family"
"Thank you Nathan"
"No worries"
Nathan turned and headed back into the kitchen. Me and Jamie started laughing then my phone rang. I looked and it was Jude.
"You going to answer it"
"Yeah suppose so"
I picked up the phone.
"Hello"
"Hey Jude"
"Aint heard from you in a few hours you okay"
"Yeah listen i have to go. I'll call you later"
i put the phone down.
"Why did you put it down"
"Dont want to talk to him, im with you today"
Me and Jamie smiled at each other, then headed back inside. We went up to Jamie's bedroom and they were 2 boxes on his bed. He went over to them.
"Sawyer this one is for you"
"Oh"
The boxes were the same size. We opened them, and then we sorta screamed. Inside the boxes was a pair of Air Jordans and a La Lakers jersey, with a number 1 on it and the name Scott. They was a note, Jamie read it out loud,
"Dear Jamie and Sawyer. I wanted to give use these but wanted it to be special, so i put them inside a box. I know both of you love basketball, so i got you a jersey and brand new Jordans, not even out in shops, love Nate"
"Wow these are off your dad"
We turned to find Nate at the door.
"Thank you so much Nathan"
"Thanks dad"
"No worries, i thought you could wear them when you come see me play, V.I.P tickets"
Me and Jamie screamed,
"Thank you" we said
Nathan laughed and walked off. I never realised this is what family does. I felt loved by my family that i only met a few weeks back.
"I didn't know this is what family does"
"Yep. Well your my family aint ya"
We nodded at each other. I looked at the time. It was 8:00 p.m. and i knew that i needed to go home.
"I better go Jamie, I'll see you tomorrow"
"Yeah school tomorrow aint it"
"Yeah make sure to set your alarm"
"Will do"
I headed out the door, down the stairs and drove home. I got home okay. My leg felt a little weird but i had been on it all day. I went inside and locked the door. I felt tired so i had a shower then went to bed. I set my alarm and all was good. While i was layed in bed Jude messaged me,
*Hey Sawyer x*
*Hey Jude sorry bout earlier*
*its okay*
*Thanks*
*we have school tomorrow, do you want me to meet you*
*Yeah thanks*.
*Okay night babe*
*Night*
i put my phone down and went to sleep. The next morning was a busy morning.
I woke up at 7:00 a.m., school didn't start for about 2 hrs so i did the things that i usually did on a morning. I went to the cupboard and picked out my clothes. After i did that, i went to the kitchen and made breakfast, it was hard being alone but i was used to it. I made pancakes, eggs and beans. It was delicious. It took 45 minutes to do. I looked at the clock and it was 8:05 a.m. i quickly ran to the bedroom got changed brushed my teeth and got washed.
My phone started ringing, i picked it up and answered it,
"Hello"
"Hey Sawyer, its Jamie"
"Hey what do you need"
"I just wanted to see if you would like a lift to school of me, my dad and mum bought me a new car"
"What car"
"They bought me a sports car"
"Cool yeah"
"Nice I'll be there in about 20 minutes"
"Cool"
He put the phone down. I looked at the clock, it was 8:15 and Jamie was going to be here before 8:40. Then i looked at the picture next to my bed. It was a picture of me and Jude on the first day we met. Then i remembered that i was supposed to be meeting him at 8:30, so i rang him.
"Hey Sawyer"
"Hey Jude, listen Jamie rang earlier and he is coming for me soon. I forgot i had to meet you. I just forgot, im sorry"
"What do you mean, you forgot"
"I dunno, i woke up with a headache and i remembered after looking at a photo of us"
"Its okay I'll see you at school"
he put the phone down. He sounded pretty worried. Was the surgery on my head taking a relapse, was i going mad, i dunno. There was a knock on the door so i walked to it. I answered and Jamie was there.
"Hey Sawyer you ready"
"Yeah"
I grabbed my bag and went to Jamie's car. We got in and he drove. It sounded nice.
"Nice car Jamie"
"Thanks, are you okay you sound scared"
"em… i am not sure"
"What you mean"
"Well this morning i forgot what day it was, i forgot that i was seeing Jude later and i could only remember that you were coming for me"
"Maybe its a side effect of the surgery"
"True"
He carried on driving and then we pulled up outside of the school. Jamie parked his car and we got out.
"Sawyer are you coming to mine later"
"Yeah i will meet you at the car after school"
"Okay"
Then i went one way as Jamie went the other way. Jude came up to me from behind and hugged me.
"jeez you scared me"
"Im sorry"
Then he kissed me. Jude and i walked to class. We were in different forms so he walked me to his and then went to his own. I sat down just as the bell went. The teacher came in.
"We have a new person called Sawyer who's just joined us be nice"
i put my head down. I looked around and then too my left were Logan sat.
"Hey Sawyer" he said
"Hey Logan"
"Nice to see you back on your feet"
"Thanks"
The bell went so i went to my lesson. The rest of the day went smooth. I spent lunch with my best friend Jamie and my boyfriend Jude. I loved him so much. After lunch it was okay. The lessons were easy and i got absolutely no homework. I met loads on new people and many people seemed to like it. It was great. The last bell rang. I walked out the school and went to the car. Jamie was stood outside the car. He was sat on the bonnet waiting for me.
"Hey Sawyer get in your driving"
"Okay? You sure"
I got into the car and then he got into the passenger's seat.
"Yeah course im sure, i trust you"
I started the car and started to drive. I only listened to Jamie when it came to the accident and me driving. I drove it all the way to his house then i parked the car.
"You did it"
"Yeah woo"
We got out the car and i ran and hugged him. He hugged me back. It wasn't weird that he hugged me because he is my best friend. We went into Jamie's house and went to his room. We sat playing games on the Xbox and on the computer when my phone rang.
"It is Jude"
I ignored it and put it into my pocket. 5 minutes later and it went off again. I ended up turning the phone off.
"Why aren't you answering it?"
"I dont know. Im confused"
My head started feeling weird and then i collapsed onto Jamie's bed. I could hear him speaking.
"Sawyer wake up" he shouted.
"MUM SOMETHINGS WRONG" he shouted downstairs.
I heard someone running up the stairs.
"Mum she just collapsed. She said her head was hurting this morning. What's wrong with her"
"I dont know. Her head feels warm. Go get a damp towel"
Then i couldn't hear nothing. Everything went dark and quiet. I woke up on the sofa. Jamie was sat beside me.
"W…What happened Jamie"
"Oh my God your awake. Mum she's awake. I dunno Sawyer you just collapsed"
Hayley came running through the door. I was sat up on the sofa.
"How do you feel Sawyer" she asked.
"Fine" i looked at the clock it was 9 p.m. i had been out cold for a few hours.
"You look better" she stated.
"Thank you Hayley and Jamie. Thanks for looking after me, but i really must got"
"Jamie take her home in the car"
I got up and grabbed my jacket and we headed out to the car. He drove me home. We stopped outside the house.
"You okay"
"Yeah Jamie thank you. Oh please dont tell Jude"
He nodded as i got out the car and went inside. My phone started ringing as soon as i got inside. I answered it.
"Hello"
"Hey Sawyer why haven't you been answering"
"I dont know. I've been busy"
"You were meant to meet me"
"Ano b…but"
"But nothing. Listen i dont think this is going to work when you won't see me"
"B…But"
"But what. Im sorry i can't do this no more"
then he hung up. What had i done? I was trying to tell him why i couldn't come see him. But he wouldn't listen. I felt really upset so i just went to bed. My thoughts had changed. I Don't Love Tree Hill no more. I HATE TREE HILL!
