Love At First Sight
Chapter 9: Visitation
I was running, it looked like a basement of a factory. It was huge! All of the pipes and machines had rust on them, and the whole area was covered in orange fog. All the walls-from what i could see-were grey and so were the floor tiles.
I kept on running, but i didnt know from what or to where... I was running everywhere, searching for something. I lost it and i was trying to look for it, but it was as tricky as a needle in a haystack. My long auburn hair swayed due to my movements. While i was running i tripped over something. I think it was a pipe. I tried to get up, but leg hurt badly. It was very painful, but i was determined to find what i was looking for.
Then there was a boom. It sounded like a gun-shot which made me stop where i was. I didnt want that to happen. I continued to run until ifound what i was looking for, Brick's dead body.
I woke up quickly and out of breathe. When i tried to sit up, my body ached all over. 'What happened?' I petted my head from the headache i had. I looked at my surroundings and i was in a hospital bed. I had needles in my arms and legs giving me blood. 'Did Jessica bring me here?' A doctor entered the room and opened up a file that was hanging from the brown door. He turned around and saw me awake. "Oh, so your finally up huh?" I nodded. I didnt really feel like talking at the moment. "Your friend brought you here. Jessica Jarell to be exact." I nodded in understandment. "Your family left only a few minutes ago. Now, do you mind telling me what happened?"
"W-w...well...uh...got...ran...by...cars" His eyebrow raised.
"Oh really?"
"Y-yes..." He nodded slowly.
"Alright Ms. Utonium you will be staying here for a few days, or until your wounds get better. Your family already knows." I nodded again. "Have a good night ." He smiled as he left my hospital room. I noticed that the bruises that were on my limbs had turned purple and blue. They looked nasty, so i made a face. I looked out the window and it was raining pretty hard. 'How long have i been in here so far?'
Brick's POV
'Blossom hasnt been to school in 3 days. Where is she?' I thought on my way to my next class. As i sat down, i glanced at the empty(lBlossom's) desk next to me. I sighed as Micheal sat down. "Hey, do you know what happened to Blossom?" I asked him. He didnt look at me. He barely payed me any mind.
"I dont know." He stared at the teacher. 'How does he NOT know?'
Next,i had a class with Jess. It was science. "Okay class, i really wanna go home and i dont feel like teaching today so you may talk amongst yourselves." The teacher sighed as she continued to look through her magizine. Teachers arent suppose to say that. Their suppose to be...encouraging! Not 'go ahead and talk', teachers are supposed to be like 'SHUT UP!' wow this teacher must be really tired or high.
"Jess?" She looked at me. Today, she wore a white spaghetti strapped t-shirt, with a grey miniskirt and black flats. She turned to me. She lifted up her head. "Come here." She sat next to me. "What happen to Blssom? Why isnt she here?" Jessica stared at the science table.
"I dont know...how come your always asking me?"
"Because you were the last one with her on her last day of school. So your the one who is most likely to know where she is." Jess sighed loudly. Her eyes lifted to the ceiling and she puckered her lips. I became more curious. That was our sign if something was wrong. We didnt know what it meant when we created it though, but we thought it was fun.
flashback...
A six year-old Jess and me were having a move night with our parents. In the movie, in a scene a lady opened her door to some cops. They didnt know that another man was holding a knife to her lower back. "Hello, ma'am. There's been some complaints about screaming in ths house." A cop said.
"Oh no, theres no screaming here." She said as she lifted her eyes to the ceiling and puckered her lips. The cops squinted their eyes,they knew something was wrong.
"Okay, ma'am. Be safe." THe other cop said, playing his role in acting like he didnt know anything. Suddenly, they grabbed the woman by the shoulders and pulled her behind them to find a man squatting with a knife his hand. The man looked suprised, but angry. He stood and was about to run upstairs, but the cops grabbed him before he could leave their presence.
"You aint goind anywhere!" A cop demanded as he hauled the criminal into the car. The woman hugged the police men.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" She repeated happily.
"All in a days work ma'am." They said as they left.
"Mommy, why did the woman do that with her face?" Jess asked. I ws confused my self, it made her look kinda weird.
"Thats what you do when your introuble and your not suppose to say anything." Her mom smiled. Her mom had black hair, circular glasses, porcelain skin and wore a white tank top w/ grey sweat pants.
"So...its like...SOS?" I asked my voice a little high
"Sorta." My dad said.
"COOL!" Jess squealed.
"We should do that to!" I smiled.
"Yeah!" Then our parents went to go get dinner ready. Leaving us alone in the living room. I wore a grey short sleeved shirt and red sweat pants. Jess wore a pink nightgown with bunny's on it, bunny slippers and her jet black hair into pigtails. Jess, lifted her eyes to the ceiling and puckered her lips just like the lady did.
"What does that mean again?" She asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I dont know. BUT IT FUN!" We both did it several times.
flashback over...
I wondered what happened. I walked out of school alone. Jess was infront of me with Micheal, holding each others hand as they walked to their houses. I was suspicous of their relationship to. They've been acting liike more than friends for a while now. As soon as i saw Micheal enter his house, i jogged to catch up with Jess. "Hey, Jess." She let out a breathe like she was holding it.
"I'll tell you." She said. "She's in the hospital." My eyes widened. I held my breathe. 'HOSPITAL! WHO, WHAT,WHEN,WHERE,AND HOW?~!' I waited for her to go on and tell me why but she never did.
"W-why?" I was still stunned.
"That...i cannot tell you..." She didnt look at me. She did our signal me that told me that if she told why, then she might get hurt. I wanted to know, but i didnt want anymore people getting hurt becase of it.
"Which one?" I said quickly.
"The one on Cherry Lane." She instructed as she walked into her house. I ran to the hospital, i wanted to see Blssom badly. I jogged up to the help desk.
"How can i-" A blonde woman asked me, she looked in her twenties.
"Blossom Utonium?" I interrupted her. She gave me a nasty look, before checking the outdated computer.
"Room 325 on the 5th floor." I jogged into the elevator and pushed 5. The elevator moved very slowly up to the 2nd floor. Then, 1,000 people were in the elevator. It got so cramped that the elevator broke down and was dropped to the basement. I sighed with frustration.
Micheal's POV
As soon as i entered my house, i saw Brick and Jessica talking. As soon as they passed my house. I left. I walked to the hospital where i knew Blossom would be. I walked in and saw Brick jogging to the elevator. I walked up to the help desk. "How can i help you?" She smiled at the last part. Im guessing Brick cut her off and she was finally be able to say her line.
"Blossom Utonium please." She didnt even look at the outdated computer.
"Roo 325 fifth floor." She smiled.'Brick must be going to see Blossom.' I thought. He will surely ask what happened and she might just tell him. I jogged to elevator, the one that Brick didnt use and pushed 5the floor. It didnt take me long to reach my destination. I was a little suprised that I reached Blossom's room before he did though. I entered her room, to find her asleep. her beautiful porcelain skin shining in the light of the sun through the blue curtains. I rubbed her cheek with the back of my hand before slapping her awake. She grasped her red cheek as she sat up. She turned and her eyes widened as she saw me glaring at her. She gasped with a scared expression. Man i love her.
