Nine Days

I’m waiting for him to leave so that I can get my thoughts together. He stands up and walks over to the nearby bathroom. I open my eyes and try to figure out what just happened, I’m absolutely blown away.

I see him close the door behind him, his eyes meet mine. Wow that was quick. His eyes are still a little teary, but change into happiness very quickly. He runs over to me with a smile on his face, stretching ear to ear. His smile is contagious, I find myself smiling at him.

He gives me an extremely tight hug, but he doesn’t say anything. Maybe he is just speechless or something. He kisses my forehead, just like he did before. I don’t really know why he did it but I just go with it.

I start speaking, since the silence is bringing my headache back. I don’t know what to say, uhmmm. ‘’My head hurts”. Wow nice going, you have so many questions but that’s your first response.

‘’Yeah it should be, we were in a car accident” he says, laughing. Probably just happy to see me I suppose. We couldn’t have been in an accident I was at school just a few hours ago.

“What do you mean we?” I say. I finally understand why my head has a closed hole, but is he lying to me. I trust him and try to forget about me being at school. He is taken back from my response, I might have said it to cruelly.

“Honey, we were driving to the mall, because you just had to have a pillow you saw in a add” he laughs and continues, but with a sad look on his face. “On our way there a drunk truck driver ran us over, I escaped with a few starches and bruises, but it turns out glass is attracted to you. If you look at your arms and touch your head you will understand why”

I suddenly feel my eyes darting to my arms, how could I have not seen this before. I lift my hand again and feel the now familiar stiches, I gasp when I touch a sore spot. He instantly looks worried.

“I get the fact that we were going to the mall, because I love pillows!” he laughs. “…but why is there a ‘we’ in that sentence” I don’t really know what to ask but I just want answers.
