"Gabriella, come on get up. I refuse to let you spend another friday night curled up in bed like you have every night for a week" Taylor said as she entered her room, flinging the duvet off of me and looming down at me.
"Go away" I groaned. "I like being curled up in bed. It's lovely and warm and safe and so dis-connected from the world"
This was true, for the past week i had done nothing but go to school, come home (Taylors), crawl into bed and watch soppy little chick flick movies while thinking longingly about Troy. I hadn't seen him, or had any contact with him - I tried, i really did, but he wanted nothing to do with me. Which was completely opposite to Riley - He had done nothing but try and talk to me at school and call me constantly, trying to explain and apologize, but i wasn't interested. As far as i was concerned he didn't exist anymore.
"Nope, get up. Kelsi, Rebeca, kelly, David and his hot friends have invited us out" Taylor said "We gonna score some alcohol then go have a sort of get together party down at the beach and your coming" She said forcefully.
"No im not"
"Yes you are. Come on Gabriella! You need to socialize and I know you can't get over Troy but at least come out - You never know you might actually like one of the guys there! Plus, can you really say no to alcohol? Its free to because the guys are buying it; It's a win, win situation."
I sighed "Do i really have to?"
"Yes! Now come on, get changed. They are coming soon - We are all walking" Taylor said excitedly, practically bouncing off the walls.
"Fine" I huffed, getting out of bed and rummaging through my begs to find some suitable clothing. I picked up some skinny denim jeans with a contrast checkered tee and red flats.
No sooner had i finished applying my makeup to finish my look, the doorbell to Taylors house rang. Taylor was there within a flash and calling up to me "Gabi, they are here. Lets go!"
I sighed, running a hand through my hair before pulling on a jacket and grabbing my bag. I ran downstairs, everyone seemingly cheering at me. "Gabi's actually coming! Woohoo!" Kelsi exclaimed.
I giggled, leaving the house with them. After a short walk and a stop at a shop for the guys to get the alcohol with their fake IDs we had arrived at the beach. All the way there i had, had a very comfortable conversation with one of Davids friends - Jake. He was on the football team with David and in the same year as us too.
By the time we had all sat on the sand we had drunk nearly half of the alcohol we had brought - I was already partly buzzed. All i knew was that if i had alcohol then maybe i could forget about the utter crapiness of everything for 5 minutes. If i had a lot of alcohol then maybe i could forget it for even longer.
The more we drank throughout the night, the closer the girls seemed the be getting the the boys - To the point where we were all sitting on a guys lap and Taylor was making out with David. I was feeling extremely buzzed enough that I didn't want to poke Jakes eyes out everytime he squeezed my thigh. I could even ignore the encouraging looks i was getting from the girls.
"I say, we do something else now. Something...daring" Jake slurred. There were murmurs of agreement, but i just sat there with a smile so fake it made my face hurt. I didn't know what the hell i was doing - I was sitting on some random guys lap, drinking alcohol and getting pissed off my head, when really all i wanted to do was to go to Troys apartement and cuddle up to him and have him tell me just how much he loved me - Or how he did love me.
We all stood up and walked off the beach, Jake wapping his arm around my waist as we walked along the road. Everyone stopped though, when David said "Wait, i have had enough of walking, lets get a car." Then, he walked past cars, checking the handles to see if any were unlocked.
"What are you doing?" I asked
"There is always some idiot who leaves their door unlocked." David informed me, trying the handle of the next car.
"Tay, is this a good idea?" I asked her. She seemed to look uncertain but i could tell she didn't want to look uncool infront of David and nodded.
"It will be fine" She said. I could have sworn that was the alcohol talking.
"Got one" David exclaimed down the road, we all began to run down there and meet him. I watched David climb into the drivers seat and fumble under the steering wheel, as we all peered into the car to see what he was doing. I had a bad, bad feeling about this.
"Taylor...This really isnt a good idea" I whispered to her, obviously not quietly enough.
"Come on Gabi, live a little. Pitty Rebecca, Chase, Kelsi and that other dude are missing this..." Kelly said with a smirk - She was obviously drunk to and latching onto some guy who was with us. (Kelsi had gone home by now along with Rebecca and Davids friends)
There was a splutery engine noise before the car purred into life. "Get in, Quick! Jake, you drive. I want to spend some time with my girl" David said, winking at Taylor who giggled as he climbed out of the drivers seat and walked around to her.
Before i could even complain or object, Jake was pulling me around to the drivers side, sitting down and pulling me into the car - Sitting on his lap, the steering wheel jabbing into my tummy while Kelly, her guy and David and Taylor climbed into the back. David threw the rest of the alcohol onto the front passenger seat, taking up the only available spot.
"There isn't room for me" I said, trying to struggle free. "We can't get the seat belt around the both of us"
"Just chill out" Jake laughed "I've done this plenty of times"
"Gabi, just have some fun and live a little" Taylor said - She was completely out of character but that was because she was getting so much attention from David.
Jake kept hold of me with one hand and slammed the door shut with the other. "Right, let's see how fast this thing can go"
I could feel panic welling up in my chest, blocking my airways so i had to start panting hard. "Taylor, im telling you this is a bad idea"
Taylor looked at me and sighed "Guys, she is right. Maybe we shouldn't"
"Aw come on baby, its just a little fun..." David said, stroking her thigh.
"But.." Taylor began.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Jake had stepped down on the accelerator and pulled away from the curb. I gulped, noticing Taylor in the back looking just as scared as me now.
"Look, it will be ok, just have some drink" Kelly suggested, handing me a bottle of vodka. I grabbed it from her, closed my eyes and down three nervous gulps. It had helped and gave me that all to familiar buzzy feeling back so that Jake picked up speed.
"We will just go to that park near U of A or something" Jake said
"Alright, dude speed up" David said
And Jake did - He went faster and faster and faster, along the roads. Then there were lights coming towards us, so bright, so pretty, so dazzling...
"SHIT!"
Jake swerved to the right, throwing his whole body behind the wheel as we veered onto the wrong side of the road. I heard the frantic beeping of a horn and then we smashed through a fence. Then there was a sickening crunch as we slammed into something that hurled me forwards so i smacked my head against the steering wheel, then snapped backwards as Jake managed to stop the car.
I should have passed out. Drifted into this heavy, velvet blackness so it didn't hurt. But my body never did anything I wanted it to, so I slumped against Jake and moaned because there were so many shooting pains stabbing into me I couldn't even begin to seperate them.
"Oh my god, is everyone ok?" I was dimly aware of Kelly and Taylor crying. There was something wet on my forehead, dripping into my eyes and I tried to lift my hand to brush it away.
"Im stuck" I said but it didn't come out right because i had bitten my tongue and the alcohol wasn't helping to manoevure the words out. "My hand's stuck"
My arm was trapped between the seat and the door and when i tried to pull it free, I really wished I hadn't because there was this tsunami of agony. I looked at my arm. It was still attached to my shoulder, though I couldn't be a hundred per cent certain about that. I tentatively tried to flex my fingers and the agony upgraded to this piercing burn that start in my elbow and shot down to the tips of my fingers. But the pain was good, right? Pain meant...It meant something. I knew it did from biology, but i couldn't remember what exactly.
"She's bleeding! Gabriella's bleeding" Jake shifted under me so my arm was pinned even further into the door. "She's banged up her head"
"It's my arm" No one seemed to appreciate my poor, hapless limb, which was being crushed past the point of no return. I squinted out of the window, but all i could see was grass and hedges. "We're in a field?"
There was a blast of cold air as everyone in the back seat opened their doors and climbed out. I swear i nearly screamed as Jake tried to wriggle out from under me. "What are you doing?! Keep still" I whimpered clamping my other hand around his wrist.
"Gotta get out" he muttered "We can't stay here. Someone will have called the cops"
Jake slid himself free with the help from David. I plonked down on the seat, jarring my arm just enough that if i'd had a big knife i'd have cut it off - It couldn't have hurt any less.
Every door in the car was opened now and everyone was staring down at me in the drivers seat. Taylor and Kelly both crying "Gabi, you need to get your arm out" Kelly sobbed urgently "Just pull it"
"That's a good idea" I muttered thickly "Wonder why i didn't think of that!"
"She's covered in blood" Kelly sobbed before David pushed her out of the way and peered in at me.
"Man, you're really fucked up" He breathed
"I'm fine...I've just got blood in my eyes - and could someone wipe my face. Please?" I asked
David scrubbed my head with his sleeve, but it seered with pain - I must have been cut.
"Someone needs to call an ambulance" Taylor said "She might need to be cut out"
"She's fine" Jake said coming up behind David "I'm going to get your arm free"
"Oh no, no, I'm fine. Don't worry about me..."
"Look, it might be broken and she shouldn't be moved" Taylor tried.
Jake ignored her "Right, Gabi, hold Davids hand" He ordered.
David held out his hand and I took it. "Ok don't let go of her hand. This might hurt a bit"
Nothing good ever comes out of those five words. It didn't hurt a bit. It hurt alot. It hurt soo much that i squeezed Davids hand so hard that the bones crunched together and i nearly threw up then and there as Jake pulled my hand free.
SNAP!
Your body shouldn't be making snapping noises. There should be a law against it. "Well, it's broken now you fucking idiot" I said and then their shocked faces were receding into the distance and the darkness was licking away from me..
I really didn't want to, but someone was telling me to open my eyes and I was kinda curious to see what the afterlife was like.
Peeling my eyelids back took a considerable amount of effort and I needn't have bothered because the afterlife sucked. I was flat on my back on some grass with Taylor and Kelly looming anxiously over me.
I felt the pain almost instantly - The cuts on my head, my sore legs and right side of my body bruised, my arm...It all hurt. "Get me up" I croaked
"Gabriella, you shouldn't move, you might have concussion" Kelly said hoarsely, but i was already groping with my good hand for Taylors hand.
"I'm fine" I repeated for about the seventieth time that night "What's happening?"
"Oh, Gabs, the boys have just left us!" Taylor gasped indignantly "They got you out of the car and then they were worried about the cops so they ran off. Im so sorry Gabi, i shouldn't have made you come tonight. I shouldn't have let us get in the car with them. Im sooo, sooo, sorry"
I concentrated on her inane chatter as she and Kelly carefully pulled me upright. As I put all my weight on my feet, the blood rushed up and I staggered. Kellys arm shot round my waist to stop me from toppling back to the ground.
"Oooh. Headrush. Wow" I shut my eyes and waited for the spinning to stop and wondered whether I should throw up. I decided against it.
"Gabs, are you sure you don't have a concussion?" Taylor asked
"So...God look at the car" I stumbled towards the car which was leaning drunkenly against the wall we had crashed into. My side of the car was completely dented in. "How did i manage to survive that? Girls, do me a favour and take my jacket off, its got blood all on it and don't touch my arm."
After many 'ewws' from Kelly and Taylor, they managed to strip me of my jacket. "Ok im calling the ambulance now Gabi" Taylor said, looking at my pretty gory arm.
"Your kidding right? Taylor we are all intoxicated with Alcohol and we crashed a stolen car. No fucking way can we get the emergency services" I told her
"I don't know then" Taylor said "Im soo sorry for everything Gabriella"
"Tay, please stop apologizing. Now, where are we?" I wondered
"Just over that wall is the park. This is like some sort of deserted field" Kelly told me
"Ok, so we need someone to come get us and take us back to civilisation"
"Yeah but who? We can't all any of our parents..." Taylor said.
I sighed wondering the same thing. This night was soo fucked up...I had only gone out and gotten drunk so i could relieve myself from the pain of...Thats it, Troy! "Troy, Taylor grab my cell and get his number. Don't call him from my cell though because he will never answer. He can put me back together again i hope"
Taylor did as i asked before saying "I can't get a signal"
"Then get walking till you can"
Taylor nodded and walked away.
She was gone for a quite awhile leaving just me and Kelly. "Kelly, go get the rest of the drink out of the car"
She nodded and went to the car, retrieving as much as she could before walking back.
10 minutes later Taylor was back "He's coming and no he isn't happy about it, and you shouldn't be drinking!..." Taylor exclaimed noticing the bottle in my hand.
I sighed, "Im in shock? and the alcohol helps the pain Tay" I said truthfully as the pain became more re-nouned. "I need to sit down" my voice seemed so far away.
"Gabi, you can't you need to keep standing" Kelly said "Oh god, you look really pale. Are you ok? Drink some more that might help"
"She not drinking you idiot! Grab hold of her!" Taylor cried.
They stood there, one either side of me as I swayed unsteadily and groaned at the gnawing sensation, which travelled down from my shoulders. There was nothing to do but look to for some headlights or something to indicate Troys arrival.
"He's here" I whispered as I noticed the all to familiar car that belonged to Troy. "I bet i look like shit" I sighed.
I took a step forward so it didn't look like Taylor and Kelly were holding me up - and waited patiently for Troy to open the door to the car and uncoil himself from the drivers seat. "If this is some kind of joke..." He said savegely walking around the car without looking at me.
"Hey" I said, causing Troy to finally lift his head as I spoke, then put one hand on the back of the car to steady himself.
"Fucking hell!" He growled, whipping around to glare at Taylor "You said she was ok!"
Taylor looked down guiltily, then there was a sudden honk of a horn. "Thats my brother, i called him a minute ago. I have to go Gabi, im sorry. Taylor do you need a ride?" Kelly said
"No..Ill stay with.."
"No, go. Troys here now and you need to go home. Right Troy?"
"Right. Taylor go, i got her"
Taylor seemed more then reluctant to leave, but with Kelly trying to pull her away, she had to give in and run to Kellys brothers car.
"Gabi, get in the car please" Troy said.
"Can you help me, i feel really dizzy" I said.
Troy hurried over, and put his hand on my back, gently leading me over to his car. Once he was sure i was in the front passenger seat, he shut the door. He didn't look happy at all as he climbed into the drivers seat. I heard Troy sigh before turning in his seat to reach me, his fingers on my skin as he tilted my chin and brushed back my hair, which was sticking to my forehead. "Looks pretty deep, I think you need stitches" He said calmly "Where else are you hurt?"
"I just want to go back to your place and sleep. I'm so tired" I mumbled
"Where else are you hurt, Gabriella?" he repeated mechanically and I knew then that the only way to get him back was to be so broken that he'd be scared that he couldn't make me right again.
"My arm" I whispered, and it worked because he looked down at it in all its mangled glory and sucked in a breath.
"Its broken" He said "In about fifty different places, apparently. Right, i'm calling your dad then i'm taking you to the hospital. What's your home number?"
"I'm not telling you"
"Your un-believable. I need to call him Gabriella"
"Whats the point? I don't live with him anymore" I said
"What? Are you serious? What happened?"
"Look, im in really bad pain, can we not go into this right now?"
"Fine" He said, trying to snag my seatbelt without putting any pressure on my arm and his breath hit the side of my face like a kiss. - I wish.
"I know I lied to you about practically everything but when i said I loved you, I meant it. I still do"
"I'm going to put this down to concussion" He said, clicking the seat belt into place. "I'm taking you to the hospital, which is non-negotiable, and we'll take the issue of calling your home under advisement, right?"
"Right" I agreed as he turned the key in the ignition.
Woah, I bet none of you expected that did you...Lool sorry i had to mix it up a bit...:( Hope its ok and stuff. I really do hope you will all review a bit more cause this is my second post today...I might even do a third.
Now, im sorry Troy is acting wierd but just think - He is upset, he has been lied to and sure he said he loved her but she hurt him - Just bare that in mind.
Please Review?
