"Okay..." I slowly opened my eyes and saw a woman. A very familiar woman with a very distinguishing breath. Ugh. It was the school nurse. "She'll be fine. At least for now."
"What do you mean?" a deeper voice asked. Will.
"Well, her head received a very rude awakening, and her ear drums were beating like crazy. But, all seems to be fine now. Look! She's waking up!"
I looked up, squinting my eyes because the light was beaming right on me. "I'll check up at the other girl." The nurse left.
"Ellie?" Will asked, "Are you alright?"
"What?" My head seemed to clear now, but it was still so blurry.
"Hey. I'm Will. Remember me?" I think the question is, do you remember me?
I managed to sit up. My head was a little hot, but the dizziness was gone. "Will?"
"Are you feeling better?"
"Will,"
"Yeah?"
I don't know why, but I liked to repeat his name. "Will."
Will smiled. "I'm here."
With just those two words, "I'm here.'' made me want to cry. Because I knew that he wasn't here because of me, but because I was practically dying the last time I saw him.
"Have you seen Jennifer?"
Will's smile faded. "They sent her to the hospital."
"What?" I cried. "I thought she was here, the nurse was checking up on her!"
"No, that was a girl named Stacy." Stacy, probably trying to cut math.
"What happened to her?"
"I got to her right on time. For you too. She was...I don't know why...but she was bleeding through her stomach."
A sudden chill fell through my back. Bleeding through her stomach? "What the hell is going on here?"
"What?" Will asked, when I realized that I said that too loud.
"Nothing. Forget it."
"Ellie..." Will started, and he grabbed my hand. "Are you okay?"
"Why do you ask?" But I asked that obliviously, because he was touching my hand!
"I mean, one minute you were saying that you were my girlfriend and...well...I know there's something about you, Ellie Harrison."
A moment flashed before my eyes. When he first said that. "You don't beat around the bush do you?" he said. "Is that a Minnesota thing or an Ellie Harrison thing?" I missed how his blue eyes twinkled at me.
I just frozed. I wanted to hold the moment of him holding my hand, and missed the times when he held my whole body...
"Ellie!" Oh no. Kyle walked in. Will let go of my hand, and looked at Kyle and nodded at him. "Is she okay?" he asked Will.
I was before you came in here! I thought.
"Yeah." Will said. "She's fine." he looked at me. "Anyways, I gotta go." he rushed out.
"Ellie," Kyle started. From then on I hated my name. "Are you alright?"
"Uh-huh." I nodded. But grunted inside.
Then he hugged me. "Oh, Elle. When they said that you collasped in the bathroom, I was so worried." He smelled like gasoline oil. Yuck.
