Ok, people, here ya go! I was in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving and that's my excuse:)
-------------------------
Caroline waved Jack over to the table she was sitting at with some of her friends. Jack started over towards her but tripped over his foot and accidentally flipped his tray of food into a guy's lap. Unfortunately, this guy was one of the biggest guys on the school's hockey team.
"Hey, you mother [censored, what the [censored?!?!"
"Hey man, sorry! It was an accident!"
The guy started off at Jack and before Jack could do anything, punched his jaw. Jack recoiled and hit him back. The guy kicked Jack to the floor. Caroline jumped from her seat and yelled at the guy.
"Mat! Leave him the [censored alone!" She growled angrily and punched his gut. Mat doubled over. Caroline kicked him down and then helped Jack up. She could see a newly formed bruise on his jaw. He also had a bloody lip.
"You okay?" She asked Jack. He nodded in response before Caroline kicked Mat one last time in the ribs.
"Hey thanks." Jack said.
"No prob. No one messes with my people and gets away with it," Caroline smiled and put a hand on his shoulder, "Ignore Mat. He won't be messing with you again." She reassured him.
"Hey, you wanna come over to my house after school?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, I thought we already talked about that." Caroline laughed.
"Well, I hadn't officially asked you yet." Jack gave a mischievous grin. Caroline lightly slapped Jack's shoulder.
"Hey, if you wanna come by and watch us practice after school you can."
"I'll do that." Jack said.
"Okay, well, I'll see you after school then."
"Yeah. Bye!" Jack said.
"Later!"
After football practice…
Caroline got into the car and pulled some grass out of her hair as Jack turned on the radio to AC/DC.
"Hey thanks for giving me a ride."
"Yeah. Bobby'll probably be home."
"Cool. So, you play guitar?"
"How'd you know?"
"I just guessed. It's not that hard to figure it out." Caroline said with a small smile.
"Or, maybe you're just a physic freak!" Jack joked and Caroline punched his shoulder.
"Hey, don't distract the driver!" Jack said, laughing.
"Yeah, whatever. You know, if I was physic, the team would win every game because I'd know all their plays." Caroline said with a grin.
Jack turned to her and was about to speak when Caroline yelled, "Jack!" Jack jerked the steering wheel of the car, but he wasn't in time. A big van slammed on the brakes, but couldn't stop in time. The two cars collided and the car with Jack and Caroline, being the smaller of the two, flipped over and spun off the road.
Caroline tried to stay conscious. She could feel bleeding, and a lot of it. She hoped Jack was okay. Jack yelled for help and started trying to pull Caroline out of the car. He was injured.
Jack managed to pull Caroline out of the car and away from it before the car ignited form the gasoline and exploded.
Caroline fell back on Jack before blacking out…
Caroline woke up in a hospital bed. She saw an IV sticking out of a bruised arm. Her head was killing her and she thought she had a few broken ribs. She looked over to her left and right and her parents, who had been sitting in the corner, jumped up and nearly ran over to her when they saw that she was awake.
"Caroline! We were so worried about you! What happened? All they people at the front desk told us was you were in an accident with a young man." Her mother started.
"Mom, I'm alive aren't I? Then that's all that matters." He mother and father sighed with exasperated looks.
"Well, who is the young man who pulled you out of the car?" Her father inquired. Just then, she remembered Jack pulling her from the car.
"Jack! Is he okay?!"
"He's right over there." A nurse said as she walked in. Caroline looked over at Jack, who was still asleep. He looked peaceful.
"Caroline, we have to leave for now and we won't be able to see you for a few days." Her mother said solemnly. Caroline's expression hardened.
"Why?" was all she could say. Her parents left too much.
"Your mother and I have to go to an important meeting in New York City."
"Oh. Okay." Caroline said and hugged them both. Then they were gone.
Caroline sat there for a few hours alone with no body to talk to until none other than Miss Evelyn Mercer came in. Her face brightened.
"Caroline! Are you okay?" She said and ran over to Caroline's bed and hugged her. She let go as she felt Caroline wince.
"Hi Miss Evelyn." Caroline said with a smile.
"There's someone here who you'd like to see." Evelyn started, "I'll be right back, okay, dear?" She quickly left the room and returned withy Bobby.
"Bobby! How you doin' man?" Caroline asked.
"I'm good. How'd you end up in here?" Bobby asked.
"Well…uh…it's a long story. Jack was bringing me over to your house to see you and…uh… he, I mean we got hit by a can."
"Ouch. You know, I'm not payin' for a new car by myself." Bobby said with a cocky grin. Caroline threw her pillow at him. "Same old Bobby." She laughed.
Okay guys, sorry it's so short, but I'm having slight writer's block… how was this? I know it was VERY dramatic, maybe too drama for one chapter??? Tell me how I did:)
