I Won't Give Up

Running Out Of Cars; One Shoe (23)

A/N: I know that doctors usually don't let you leave the same day you come into a hospital after a car wreck but I honestly don't care. I hope I didn't make the wreck sound like deathly or something. The side of her car hit the tree, it wasn't head on, and that's how she came out of it like she did. Thanks for over 500 reads, I appreciate it. Heads up this chapter may have a lot of flash backs.

I look at him funny before I realize I'm in the hospital, "What's going on?"

"You were driving home, and you hit a tree. You were passed out when the ambulance got there, but they said your heart rate and everything was fine so they just checked you out, and your leg was caught in between something and it fractured your ankle," he says calmly. "They said you should be fine by tomorrow so you can still walk, or limp tomorrow."

I lightly laugh, "Where's mom?"

"She's filling out paper work with the doctor so we can leave," he says, I look down at my left leg and it's in a black boot.

"You should be out of this thing by July," he adds.

I nod. Matt opens his mouth to say something but my mom opens the door, "You ready?"

Matt helps me up and it takes a few seconds for me to steady myself trying to walk with this thing on my leg, but I finally get used to it. I slowly make my way to the car, earning a few weird looks from people in the waiting room. Matt opens the back door for me like Harry does. I smile at the memory of us on our first actual date.

Flashback:

I was at Matts for the weekend while mom was in Houston, Matt and Madison are out on a date so Harry decided to take me out on an actual date.

I smiled when I heard him knock on my door, "Are you decent?"

I laugh, "Yes."

He opens the door with a smile on his face, "Are you ready yet?"

I laugh, because he makes it sound like I've been trying to get ready for hours and it's only been forty five minutes. I smile and nod my head, my dark hair falling in my face, I put a pony tail on my wrist just in case. He puts his hand on my lower back guiding me out of the quiet apartment.

"Where are we going?" I ask as he opens the passenger door for me.

"Not telling," he says, leaning on top of the door.

I stand on the other side of the door, "How do I know you're not going to take me out in the woods to kill me?"

He laughs, sending a smile to my face, "To clear the air, I would never, ever hurt you." a small blush takes over my face. He runs his thumb over my cheek, softly smiling before kissing the tip of my nose.

: End of flashback

When we get home Matt helps me up stairs my mom following behind us. I immediately pull on Harry's hoodie and collapse on the bed. My mom kisses my forehead "Goodnight sweetheart." I give her a tired smile, before I watch her leave, her red cast now gone and replaced by a brace.

"We're running out of cars for you two to wreck," Matt says trying to clear the obvious tension between us.

I nod, he squeezes my fingers, "Go to sleep, you've got a big day ahead of you tomorrow."

I smile at him, "Night."

Right before she falls asleep, he whispers, "I'm so sorry kid."

**

I did it. I survived high school. It's finally over Four years of nothing but absolute hell. My mom was crying, Matt wraps his arms around me, and I forget why I'm mad at him and just hug him. "You did it kid."

My mom hugs me now, "I'm so proud of you."

Amanda walks over to me and hugs me. I hug her back, "We freaking did it Jess!" I nod into her shoulder.

"You three,' she points to Matt, Amanda, and me. "Are taking a picture."

I groan and Matt squeezes in between me and Amanda as my mom takes about forty pictures. Then, she takes some of just me and Matt, and some of me and Amanda, finally one of me, her and Matt.

Amanda smiles at my mom before walking towards her parents, "I'll see you later!" she calls back to me.

Amanda opened my bedroom door, her dress and shoes in her hands. She look way more excited than she was earlier, if that was even possible. She lays them on my bed, "What are we going to do about that?" she points to my boot.

I shrug my shoulders, "I guess we'll just have to make it work."

"Well at least you'll only have to wear one shoe," she says, I laugh.

About ten minutes later she's braiding my hair, some kind of music coming from her phone. "Is Jacob coming with us?"

Her smile fades as she nods, "I think he's picking us up."

"He's what?" I ask in complete shock, she never told me that.

"Jess please, I don't want to be alone with him," she begs tying I clear rubber band around the end of the braid, and letting fall down my back.

I look at her and I know I can't leave her alone with him, but I really don't want to ride with Jacob.

"Fine," I huff and walk over to the full body mirror hanging on the wall. The dress hugs my side and I think I'm in love with it. The door bell rings and it's about the torture is about to start. Amanda squeals excitedly and I look at her funny, as I walk down the stairs.

My mom is talking to someone and I almost pass out when I hear who she's talking to.

Harry.
