PART 1 Chapter 29 — 03
I buried my face in the pillows and heard someone approaching about half an hour later.
I felt hands pulling my face up from the pillows, Stop, I groaned and pried their hands off of my face.
They flipped me over and I saw that it was Jason.
“I thought you left.
Scratch that,I hoped you left.” He rolled his eyes,” Emerald what's going on.” “Nothing.” “Don't think I haven't been noticing how you've been lately.
Crying so much,fighting with everybody and now you end up in the hospital! I want the truth.” I sat up further and stared at him,Fine,the truth is...I've joined an underground women's fight club.” He sighed,” Dammit Emerald,I'm serious! “You have no right Jason,no right to say all those horrible things to me and then barge in here and question me about my problems! I can deal with it,t's my business,not yours!” "I'm sorry Emerald, really am.
But what would have you said if you walked in and saw your mate being straddled by your sister who's holding a glass vase ready to smash it into her face?” I signed and imagined the picture.
I quess he was right.
“But you left,you left when you knew dad and mom were fighting.
He moved out,did you know that?” “I'm so sorry for letting you deal with it alone,I really am.” "That's not what gets me so mad.
It's the fact that you're so blinded by your love for Amanda that you won't even pause for a second to question who she was before she met you.” “I know Emerald,"
she told me.
She said she wasn't liked very much as a kid so she took it out on people most of the time.” "That's an understatement.
She took it out on me! I should know! I used to hide every day in the washroom stalls and cross my fingers that she wouldn't check under the doors for my feet.
I'd even get up on the toilet and bend down so my head wouldn't show.” He stood up,clenching his jaw doubtfully” Get some rest” and he exited the room.
Lisa and John visited three hours later.
They sat bouncing everywhere,and talking so much that my ears began to hurt.
"So,what's going on between you and Blade,” Lisa questioned.
“Nothing,” I answered,sipping on my hot chocolate as an attempt to block out pictures of us almost kissing.
"Oh please,we're not stupid! He didn't even let the paramedics carry you into the stretcherhe did it himself and growled at them! He didnt even wait for your parents! He just sat on the ambulance with you,and left.” “Whoa whoa whoa,what? Blade took me to the hospital?"
