Hello everyone,
Here is the new chapter for this story. Thank you for all the reviews I appreciate them all.
Enjoy.
Chapter Fifteen:
AJ and Stacey went to the nurses' office to check out their injuries. "AJ, are you here again. I hope this isn't a habit for you." The nurse tells her.
"Nope it isn't, well I hope it is not. I just get into bad situations that lead to me and someone else to get hurt." She explains.
"Do you need any help? Do you want me to tell Mr. Michaels?" She is concern for her and her friends well being.
"No it is okay we have it covered." She smiles.
"Okay-" She is still unconvinced. "What can I do for you today?"
"Well nurse, I hit my back on the lockers and Stacey here had baby powder in her eyes. We seem to be fine, but we just want to make sure."
"Oh dear, let's take a look." She takes at look at AJ's back first. "Do your legs feel wobble or feel like jelly? Does your back really hurt?" She asks to rule out if she did any real damage to her spine.
"No, I don't feel anything like that. It is just sore on where I hit it." She explains.
"Okay, let me see lift up your shirt." AJ lifts the back part up. "Yeah, your back is pretty red, but it doesn't seem like anything is wrong. I am going to press to see if anything hurts. If it does hurt where I press, scream out." AJ nods. The nurse goes from bottom to top. In the middle, AJ screams out.
"Ouch!" AJ screams in a calm tone not in too much pain.
"Sorry, okay it feels like just a bruise from what I gather. However, I think you shouldn't lay on it or bend your back until the bruise heals. Also, if your back gets really painfully sore to go to your doctor. I prescribe no heavy lifting and to not bend your back a lot." She advises.
"Thank you nurse for everything you do."
"You're welcome. Now Stacey, let us see your eyes." She examines them with a light. "You don't seem to have anything in your eye. Do your eyes hurt? Do you have blurry vision or do your eyes seem very irritated?"
"No nurse, but when I had it in my eyes I couldn't see."
"Well that is quite normal if you have anything in your eyes. When something is inside, your eyelids want to close to prevent anything else to get inside. To make sure that nothing else is in your eyes, we need to flush them out. There is a eye washing station near the sink, can you flush them out?"
"Sure."
"Sis, I will help and hold your hair back for you." Jack follows her.
The nurse turns to AJ. "AJ, if this happens again I need to tell Mr. Michaels. I have to tell him for the safety of the students." She is serious and very concern for them.
"I understand. Thank you for your concern nurse."
"No problem. I am going to check on Jack and Stacey. Be right back." She walks towards the eye wash station.
AJ turns to Randy with a sad expression. "What is wrong best friend?"
"Is that we shouldn't have to go through this. This is our high school years; we should be enjoying it. It is supposed to be exciting with joining clubs and hanging out." AJ utters.
"We are enjoying it. It is just this situation is a barrier to it. We are just freshmen, so we are starting out our high school experience. We have plenty of time to explore who we are." He brings her close. "Don't feel bad that it is not always smooth sailing like before." He hugs her. "Remember you always have me and your new boyfriend Jack to help you. Plus, now you can have girly hang out with Stacey that I don't get invited too." He chuckles.
"Oh maybe we will bring you along to carry our bags. We can give you a makeover." AJ giggles.
He looks at AJ with a weird expression on his face. "Yah right, I will be with Jack and John during those times." He informs her.
"Whatever, you will always be my best friend no matter what." She hugs him back.
"Aww smile." Stacey takes a picture of them hugging.
"Stacey." AJ chuckles surprise by it.
"Sorry, I like to picture the moment of having my boyfriend and bestie getting along." She explains her actions.
"Yah it is great Randy that you would accompany my sister and my girl shopping. That is very feminine of you to do that for them, Randy." He smirks hearing that part of the conversation.
"Shut up Jack." He is a bit embarrassed. "You will repeat that to anyone." He warns.
"He won't because I have juicer information to tell him." She goes to Jack to hug him.
"Wow, you would betray our friendship like that. However, don't worry I have Stacey to tell your juicy information." He waves her over.
"Actually, I will stay with my brother and bestie for this conversation." She winks at him to signal they are just playing around.
"Wow. Jack." He looks at him in dismay.
"Sorry man, they like this guy better right now. I am not going to ruin it." He chuckles.
"Well then, I am out of here." He storms off into the hallway.
"I will talk to him." AJ runs after him. "Randy!"
"No AJ! You chose him instead of me, your best friend since we were little." He crosses his arms as he continues to walk.
"Randy, we were just joking around." She tries to keep up with him.
"I know, but it hurts still. I remember you always having my back no matter what." He stops to look at her.
"I do have you back, Randy. No matter what happens in school or life, I will always be on your side. Will you always be on my side?" She asks with a pout.
"Of course I will be. I told you before, even though I have a girlfriend, you are still my best friend. No matter what you will be my number 1 girl beside my mom in my life. Don't you ever forget that." He kisses her head.
"Well that goes the same for me too buddy boy. Just because I am dating Jack doesn't mean I forget about you. You are my big brother, my protector in school."
"Protector eh, let's sees him protect you from us." Randy's team mates interrupt the moment.
"You will not touch her ever." He puts her behind him.
"Oh they won't touch her if you dump Stacey and date me." Kimberely comes from behind the football players.
"Never will I do that. I will never dump Stacey to date you. Plus, you wouldn't be a good girlfriend as you dump and date people just like that." He snaps his fingers.
"Oh come on. I know you want me since Junior High. I have seen you look at me when we cross paths in the hallway. I know you dream about me naked on top of you. The pictures I gave you, you probably took pictures of them to keep." She grins.
"I would never dream about you unless I am hurting you emotionally. The looks you see weren't for you they were for Stacey. Oh, you being naked will never cross my mind because Stacey is always on my mind." He sternly speaks. "And for the pictures I supposedly took, how do I know that you didn't take them yourself? Moreover, you can keep my phone I don't want it anymore." After that incident, Randy purchased a new phone and a new number. He informed his parents, his family, AJ, Jack, and Stacey only on the new number.
"Suit yourself. Just think that you could have stopped this whole altercation." She signals the two football players to surround them.
"AJ, just stay close to me whatever you do don't let go." He advises her as she nods.
Jack and Stacey come out of the nurses' office to see where Randy and AJ have gone to. They see them getting confronted by Kimberely and two football players. They start to run to them until they are stopped by Dawn and the group.
"Hello Stacey." Dawn grins.
"Dawn get out of the way." Stacey tries to move, but the group surrounds them.
"What do you want Dawn, we are busy?" Jack looks over to AJ and Randy.
"Oh, are you busy with saving your girlfriend and your boyfriend, Stacey?" Dawn asks taking a guess.
"Yah, how do you know that?" They are both surprise by that statement.
"Stacey, how was your shower today?" She changes the subject surprise herself that she got it right.
"What are you talking about?" She doesn't think that anyone else was there when she blasted with baby powder.
"Your baby powder shower, I heard it is great for the skin." She chuckles.
Stacey recognizes those words. "What, how did… you are the one that knows about me being the recorder." Dawn nods. "How do you know?" She is a bit scared with her being the last person beside Kourtney to know about it.
"Let me just say that you and your friend need to beware of your surroundings. Now, you will tell Kourtney the truth or Jack will get it." The gang moves in closer. "He will get the best day of his life. You see Becca over there always has a thing for your brother. As a group, we are going to make that happen for her."
"He is taken already by my bestie, AJ." She informs her.
"Well, he will dump her and date Becca if he knows what is good for him." She signals them to go for it; they pile up on Jack.
"Get off me." Jack tries to move them away, but they come back.
"Get away from my brother." Stacey pulls them off him. "He is not yours and never will be." Stacey and Jack are now back to back facing the group.
"Stacey, forgive me if I hurt them by accident. You know I don't want to hurt women." He warns her as she makes it clear that she is against that.
"They are not women they are girls." She says before the gang goes for them.
Back with AJ and Randy, Randy tries his best to defend himself and AJ. He holds his side as they get a cheap shot on him. AJ is still attached to him in no reason to let go. She tries to help as she can with kicking and punching them.
"Are you ready for you to be mine girlfriend yet?" Kimberely asks stopping the attack against Randy for a moment.
"No never, you will have to knock me out to do what you say." Randy offers.
"You heard what he said." She orders the two football players. They charge towards them from both sides. Randy pushes AJ out of the way before the collision happens. Before AJ sees what is the end result of the collision she is taken away.
"Randy!" She calls out being pulled away from the situation.
