MAEVE
➸ ➸

It's been two days since I've gotten out of the hospital. Valerie told Mrs. Miller I shouldn't be practicing for the play so I haven't done much lately.

With Johnny being suspended, Play practices have been canceled. The only good thing that's happened lately is Johnny bringing me coffee these past two days.  Laurens called a good five times. But with my stubbornness, I've ignored every call.

I've suffered from the same nightmare again. Dad says I should go see a therapist but really, what does he know? All mom cares for is that I pay off the car with my own money. Not surprising to me since she wants the money all to herself. Not quite sure how I'm supposed to pay for the damages if I can't even step a foot outside my house. But it's no big deal considering the fact Luke said he'll handle it.

Something about Orlando having a talk with him? Nothing important anyway. I've had these killer migraines since the accident but I've tried to not worry too much about it.

Everyone at school now thinks me and Johnny are dating now because we got in the accident together. Makes no sense to me. Friends can get into accidents together too. I guess they just want any little reason to believe that we're together. Not sure why everyone's so obsessed with us though.

Other than Johnny bringing me coffee he's been super distant. Won't answer my texts, Calls, Anything. I think he's still blaming himself for the accident when it was fully my fault for not paying attention. At first, I felt like it had brought us closer which sounds weird but? We both have the same amount of trauma and now we just went through it together.

Crazy how people can switch up so fast. Now that I think about it Lukes barely talked to me besides when he said he'd fix my car. I'm not sure what I did because I'm always doing stupid shit if I'm being honest.

It's currently the weekend so yay. I decided I'm gonna go to Luke's repair shop today (his dad owns it) and see what he can do about my car. I've been working a side job lately at Jojos, the most popular fast-food restaurant in our town. But my manager Axel told me not to come in because I guess the boss is on some sort of vacation.

So, unfortunately, I haven't made any money recently and I'm stuck at home how great right?. Dad said I could take his car to work. Well, at least that's where he thinks I'm going. So I'm gonna drive up to the repair shop and somehow figure out a way for Luke to look at my car. Haven't really figured that part out yet.

If I'm being honest I'm extremely terrified to even sit in the driver's seat. Guess I've completely chickened out. We're gonna come up with an option B because this is not gonna work.

I call Luke and he tells me he'll pick me up. Thankfully. I get dressed into probably one of the laziest outfits, An AC/DC shirt with a pair of light-washed jeans and of course, a flannel. I slip on my shoes and runs downstairs after I hear a honk from outside.

I run out the door and Luke starts obnoxiously honking the horn

"Ok! I get it Asshole!" I laugh getting in the passenger's seat.

"How are you feeling?" He says turning the radio on as "What makes you beautiful" By One Direction starts playing on the radio

"Could be a hell of a lot better but I'm holding up I guess" I shrug my shoulders humming to the music

"I gotta pick up John if that's okay with you?" Luke responds

"Yeah, Why wouldn't it be?" He reaches over and turns the radio down

"Well, I thought something had happened? John's stopped mentioning anything about the play or you" Luke says with a frown.

"Oh. Well, I didn't realize if something had happened. But don't worry about it, If he's mad I'll walk or something" I say with a reassuring smile.
