Ellen Returns to School
It's Monday night now, sixteen days since the accident. I went to the doctor again yesterday, and he had good news. The blood that had been in my eye was gone and the tear that was left was tiny, making it basically healed! Ellen has gone back to school now and Jason, Sleev-eth, Lisa, and I take turns helping Ellen get to her classes okay. It was my turn before sixth period today, and I was pushing Ellen's wheelchair down the hallway when we decided to stop and pop the helium balloons Lisa had tied to Ellen's wheelchair. They seemed to be getting caught on random things in the hallway, popping, and scaring us, so we thought popping them all at once would be a good idea. Ellen popped all but the last one, which I asked her if I could pop. She didn't care, but when I did the sound startled me, and I found myself gasping for air, and I felt like I was going to throw up, and I could have sworn I was having a heart attack. My biology teacher walked by as I had what I'm now calling a panic attack. My teacher called Ellen's mom and then mine, and it was decided that for the health of both of us we needed to go home. We did, and when Jack got home from school, he told me that Jason and Seth explained to him our incident. He also mentioned that they seemed worried and concerned about me. Then Jack did something I would have never expected. He invited me to go to Top Hats with him! I agreed, and we went to the diner together. While sitting there with him, I tried to explain myself, but he didn't want to hear it. We got into an argument over it and got into the car. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. He pulled up to a pump at a gas station shouting, I'm fucking sad! Do you understand?. With that he got out of the car and started walking. I ran after him, and slowly convinced him to come with me.
