Once everyone was finally asleep, I got up my courage and left. I walked out to my car tears flowing down my eyes, and started it up. As I drove down the street I couldn't help but feel relieved. Finally the burden of leaving was being lifted off my shoulders and I couldn't be any happier. Although I felt like I was losing everything and everyone most important to me.
The next morning my phone was ringing like crazy. And I knew who was calling, but I couldn't answer, I couldn't talk to them, not yet. And maybe not even for a while. I know I hurt them. But I had to do this for me.
I had some money saved up. So I tried to spend it wisely. I didn't stop and stay in hotels, I didn't stop to eat unless I was starving, I only stopped to go to the bathroom but other than that I just kept driving and driving.
I lost count of how many hours I was driving when it started to pour rain. I had no idea where I was. And I haven't slept for days, it felt like. I was trying my hardest to keep my eyes open and see the road in front of me. I must have started to doze off because before I knew it I was hydroplaning. I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I forgot everything I was told to do if I ever hydroplaned. I just remember screaming and then hitting something hard.
When I woke up my whole body was aching. I tried to get up and stretch but there was something on my leg. I moved the blanket from my leg to examine it. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had a cast on my left leg. How could this have happened? Then I thought back to the road, the rain, how tired I felt, and then hydroplaning. I finally got my strength up to sit in the bed. Just then a nurse walked in.
"Hello sweetie, how are you feeling?" She asked me.
I tried to respond, but my throat started to burn. The nurse looked at me sympathetically. I nodded towards the cast on my leg, hopping she would get the hint that I wanted to know what happened.
"Oh, your leg. Well a young man brought you into the hospital a couple of days ago. You were unconscious. He told us that your car was wrapped around a tree and he was driving by and saw." I nodded my head. Looks like I am going to have to repay this man somehow. "Well we hurried up and got the doctor to see you. Turns out you hit your head pretty hard the doctor said you had a minor concussion. And your left leg was broken in two places." Just my luck. The first day I get to where I am going to be staying I get hurt.
I fell asleep on and off for the next couple of hours. I was still really tired even though I had been unconscious for two days.
When I woke up the next day someone was sitting in the hospital room with me. I had no idea who it was but I was freaking out. I was about to buzz for the nurse.
"Oh hi, I'm Embry." I gave him a confused look. "I'm the one that brought you into the hospital a couple of days ago." Oh so he was the guy that saved me. "Well I wanted to make sure that you ended up being okay." He told me.
"Thanks." I responded. It sounded foreign because I haven't talked in days. "For everything, I mean that was really nice of you to bring me here even though you had no idea who I am. And then wait to make sure I was okay." I was smiling. No one back home would do this for someone they didn't know. I think I found where I am going to fix myself. I just didn't know exactly where I was. "Um can I ask you a question?" I asked him.
"Sure." He responded.
"Where am I?" I asked, when he looked at me like I was crazy. "Well I know I'm somewhere in Washington I just don't know exactly where." I explained. He still looked at me like I was crazy. But answered my question.
"You are at the one and only Fork's Hospital. But I found you on a road in La Push. Its about twenty minutes from here." He explained. I nodded my head.
Just then the doctor walked in, "Hello Ms. Smith, how are you feeling?" I wondered he knew my name. But then I remembered my wallet was in my hoodie pocket.
"I'm fine, my leg itches kind of." I answered truthfully. He chuckled and told me I could leave anytime I felt like. I looked around, not knowing where I could go. Embry told me that his mother was looking for someone to rent out a spare room in their house. And since I obviously didn't have anywhere to go, or anyway to get there I took him up on his offer.
About thirty minutes later we were pulling up to Embry and his mother's house. It was a cute little house that reminded me of some kind of cottage. Embry had told me that they towed my car to some repair garage that his friends worked at, and that we could go and get all my stuff when ever I wanted to. I decided that I should probably meet the woman that I would be living with until I can figure out what I am going to do with my self, before I just move in.
It was weird, I felt like I was already at home. I felt like I somehow belonged in this place. Kind of like it was meant for me to hydroplane and for Embry to find me.
When Embry and I walked into the house, I instantly felt cozy. The house had a nice warm feeling to it.
"Mom, I'm home. And I think I found someone that could rent out the spare room." He called to his mother. Then an older lady walked in. She seemed very motherly, and I felt comfortable already with her.
"Hi I'm Leann, but you can call me Lee." I introduced myself.
She smiled at me "Nice to meet you Leann, I'm Teresa." I smiled and shook her hand. "So your interested in renting the spare room?" She asked me and I nodded my head. "Okay, well rent for the month is going to be about $250. I've got everything else covered." She told me.
We made a deal and when I got all of my stuff, I would write her a check for the first three months. At least I know that I will be here for three months. Embry seemed like he could be a really good friend, and living in the same house I know we will end up being close.
"So, why'd you move here?" Embry asked me while we were driving to get all my stuff. I tensed at the question knowing I am going to have to tell someone sooner or later. "You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. But I do have to make sure you aren't some crazy serial killer that had to move here because you're on the run from the popo." I burst out laughing.
"I can promise you that I am not some serial killer, on the run from the popo." I told him with a laugh. "Well I wasn't sure were I was going to go to. I just had to get away. So I packed up all my clothes, a few pictures and I left home. The only reason I stayed here was because of you." I told him honestly. He looked over at me and smiled.
After that Embry and I just talked about random things, and we got to know each other. I learned that he loved to eat food, he was 19, his best friends are like his brothers, and that his favorite TV show is Sponge Bob. I told him that I was from Texas, and he asked me if I ever rode my horse to school which made me laugh and I shook my head. I told him my favorite color was pink, and I loved to go mudding. He laughed at that one.
When we got to the repair shop. I hobbled out of Embry's truck and followed him inside.
"Hey Jake, I need to get in that car that was wrapped around the tree." Embry called out to one of his friends I was guessing.
I know, I know. That was a lot to happen in only the second chapter.
Please review it will most definitely make my day(:
