Jetidoa

Chapter 3: Savior

I started running, I felt determined, I was gonna make it back by third period. I felt the wind in my face as I ran passed my neighborhood. But just when I was gaining confidence disaster struck, it started to rain. I couldn't run anymore. I stopped and took a break, catching my breath because of all the running.
Thankfully there was only one more block to go to finally get to the bus station .What could go wrong? I ran faster then I ever have before, I could almost see it, the bus station was right there. I was crossing the road and then suddenly out of nowhere it hits me. No, a car literally hit me. I think it was a white Mercedes, but I couldn't really tell because I blacked out.

The next thing I knew I woke up at the Nelson Jr Medical Center, the only hospital here in Jetidao. After I remembered everything, all I could think about was Stella. I checked the clock in the night stand and it was already 4:33pm. She must be waiting for me to pick her up from her classroom all alone. I tried to stand up but my leg was broken and my arms were sore.

" Oh good you woke up, it's good too, because you have a visitor" said the nurse

Michael walked into the room screaming out:

"Oh my god! This is all my fault I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have gotten mad at you and now this happened and now you got hurt..."

Michael tends to be paranoid and just a little bit dramatic with every single situation that life throws at him. But that's just what I love about him.

"Don't worry it wasn't your fault ,it was my mothers" I said

" What are you talking about? Your mom is a hero"

"What?"

To clear doubt, Michael turns on the tv and it was my mother, getting attention for supposibly saving me after that car hit me, and right next besides her was Stella. At least I could stop worrying about her.

"I don't get it my mother practically threw me in the street, and told me to walk back to school and she drove off, how could she have saven me ?"

" Well apparently she has a witness called Elinor Fitzgerald and claims she saw you when it happened from the window of the drug store, and was gonna get help, but your mom found you and took you to the hospital"

"How could any of this be true? Who was the driver that hit me?"

"Apparently it was a hit and run"

Michael stayed with me until the nurse kicked him out because visiting hours were over. I kept on whatching my mother on the news and getting mobbed by reporters.

"Mayor Daxter, why wasn't your daughter at school at the time?" a reporter asked

"She is just going through a face, she has been one heck of a trouble maker these days but I got it all under control"
said my mother as if she were the saint in this whole freaking town.

" Do you think you'll make this town even better when you win the election next year?"

"Of course because other than my children there is nothing more important than this town"

I screamed in fury and yelled at the tv "as if !" and threw my pillow against the tv. I went to sleep in hopes that tomorrow this was all just a dream.
