Then a doctor walked around the corner. He was young, he was blond... and he was almost handsomer than me. He was pale, though, and tired-looking, with circles under his eyes. From Charlie"s description, this had to be Carlisle Cullen Amanda"s father."So, Ryan," Dr. Cullen said in a remarkably appealing voice, "how are you feeling?" I am straight.
"I"m fine," I said, for the last time, I hoped.
He walked to the lightboard on the wall over my head, and turned it on.
"Your X-rays look good," he said. "Does your head hurt? Amanda said you hit it pretty hard."
"It"s fine," I repeated with a sigh, throwing a quick scowl toward Amanda. "she was pretty rough with me throwing me down like that in the middle of the parking lot in front of all those people. I"ve never seen a woman so agressive." Doctor Cullen raised his eyebrow with a quick smirk to his daughter who had a small pout and light pink blush. I continued to spout more bulls.h.i.t "Yeah I mean she could have asked me to lunch at least, I mean she is very forward but saving my life I guess I"ll let this one slide." Her blush became even more p.r.o.nounced as the doctor chuckled she shouted at me "Shut up you idiot! what are you even talking about!" I just laughed
"Well you seem to be doing fine just relax for the day Take some Tylenol for the pain," suggested Dr.Cullen .
"It doesn"t hurt that bad," I insisted.
"It sounds like you were extremely lucky," Dr. Cullen said, smiling as he signed my chart with a flourish.
"Lucky Amanda happened to be standing next to me," I amended with a hard glance at the subject of my statement.
"Oh, well, yes," Dr. Cullen agreed, suddenly occupied with the papers in front of him.
As soon as the doctor"s back was turned, I moved to Amanda"sside.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked. She took a step back from me, her jaw suddenly clenched.
"Your father is waiting for you," she said through her teeth.
I glanced at Dr. Cullen and Tyler.
"I"d like to speak with you alone, if you don"t mind," I pressed.
she glared, and then turned her back and strode down the long room. I nearly had to run to keep up. As soon as we turned the corner into a short hallway, she spun around to face me.
"What do you want?" she asked, sounding annoyed. Her eyes were cold.
"You promised me an explanation," I reminded her.
"I saved your life - I don"t owe you anything."
"ooh a promise breaker, that"s not very attractive you know."
"What do you want from me?" she breathed out.
"Just the truth is all who knows you may find telling me that much more fun than keeping secrets." I replied.
she looked confused for a second and said "What do you think happened?"
"oh nothing much just super speed super strength tiny girl saving me from being squished by a van no biggie."
"Noone will believe you." she said with a dangerous tint in her voice, I could expect that after all if I found out its not just her who gets their lively hood threatened it"s her family perhaps I should back off a bit. "Ah well its not like I planned to tell anyone what do you take me for an idiot? I"d wind up in a nut house faster than you can snap your fingers." after I said my peace I just wandered off down the hall leaving her confused until I ran into my dad.
He rushed over to me and grabbed my shoulders "So is everything okay you can go home now?" I looked him dead in the eyes and said "dad I"m pregnant." he looked like i slapped him then he shouted "WHAT PREGNANT? WHO GOT YOU PREGNANT!" I just started laughing while he got even more angry then it clicked and he started laughing too "That wasn"t very funny, Come on let"s go home I"m starving."
we made it home fine I explained what happened and he was relieved I was okay he didn"t tell mom so no troubles there but he did have to go back to work and told me to get some rest and he would bring home burgers later. Then the moment I was dreading came I could feel a palpable pressure there was no avoiding it.
I teleported into the kingdom and tried to dodge the incoming punch. It didn"t work I got 3 more for trying to dodge. "wait teacher let me explain" that didn"t happen either and for the next couple of hours all I received were beatings and lectures about watching my surroundings and how could her foolish master almost lose his life to a car and to further body blow his ego she even threw in he got saved by a little girl. "s.h.i.t that"s a low blow and aren"t you a girl?!?!?" the reply was a punch to my jaw and a dislocated shoulder as I was thrown around I shouted the first thing I could think of in this emergency situation. "Help I need an adult!"
"I am an adult." was all I got in return and a kick to the gut knocking the wind out of me. As I lay gasping for breath on my knees she spoke.
"I"ve apparently been going too easy in your training so Today we are going to learn about situational and s.p.a.cial awareness all you have to do is try and dodge.""wait teacher what are you doing with those rock cakes?!?!?" I shouted in fear.
