Girls Like me .
Chapter 9.
“Jake, this isn’t your
fault, not at all!” I said surprised.
“Jake, y-you saved my life.”
He looked down at me, his eyes
glazed over with sorrow.
“No.” He argued.
“I should’ve gotten you off before I took care
of myself. God, I’m so
selfish!”
“Jake, stop being so hard on
yourself!” I took his hands, holding them in
mine. “What you did was the right thing, stop
trying to convince yourself
otherwise.”
He sighed, examining my leg that
was currently wrapped in gauze.
“The doctor said it’ll
be fine in a few days.” I began, knowing his next
comment would be about by stitches. “It’s
just a little scrape.”
I smiled at him, trying to give him
reassurance, but he was still fully convinced that all of
this was his fault. He gave a weak smile back, and
even though I wasn’t the best with judgment, it was
clearly fake.
“Maybe I could make it up to
you?” He asked, shoving his hands shyly in his
pockets.
It wasn’t like Jake to be
shy. Or maybe it was, maybe it was a habit he had
picked up in the past 2 years I hadn’t been
around.
“I’d like that.”
I gave him a sweet smile, while making myself comfortable
in the hospital bed.
He smiled back, this time for
real.
“We could go get ice cream
after this, if that’s alright with
you.”
“That sounds great.” I
whispered.
“So, it’s a
date?” Jake asked hesitantly.
I felt butterflies quickly enter
the pit of my stomach. Even though this was all just
meant to be a game of revenge, I couldn’t help but
feel excited.
“It’s a date.” I
smiled, trying to sound as calm as
possible.
“Okay Bree, the doctor says
you’re free to go now.” The nurse said, handing
me the extra change of clothes Jaycie had brought in for
me.
I got changed, avoiding the urge to
put pressure on my left leg as much as possible. I
knew that navigating on crutches the next few days
wouldn’t be simple, but I was sure that I would be
able to manage.

“Are you sure you should be
going out again already Breanne?” My mother
asked concerned, while standing in the doorway of the
bathroom. “You just got released a half hour
ago.”
“I’ll be careful mom, I
promise.” I assured her. “And don’t
call me that.”
I ran the straightener through my
hair, walking on one leg started to seem a lot easier after
I had experienced getting dressed with only one leg.
I had on my new floral dress, that held tight around my
waist, and fell just above my knees. Even though this
was only ice cream, it was still suitable for the
occasion.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and my
mother called me from downstairs.
“Coming!” I
yelled back, taking one last glimpse of myself in the
mirror.
Don’t forget what you came
back for Bree, I told myself, staring at my
reflection. I limped down the steps with my crutches
to meet Jake. And although my heart raced with
excitement, I made sure that I still had a little sanity
left in my head.
Reminding me that
Jake,
was still the bad guy.
Okay, I know this is only chapter 9,
but I can't wait for you guys to read chapter
11♥ Chapter 10 is pretty interesting too, in
my opinion(: Also, I realize that last chapter
was very similar to a chapter in 'i still love
you'. and i'm sorry, but I didn't really
need to be told they were similar..okay, that's all ( :
< 3
The number to reach for a hint next chapter is
550 [:
-Hint-
His eyes lit up, and I
felt him moving closer to me, pushing loose strands of hair
away from my face. Before I knew it, our lips
collided.
-Bree's POV-
