My car was towedto the shop and on the way out of the hospital; I called my insurance company for a rental. Dane and Sterling dropped me off at the closest location that my insurance company rattled off.
I sat behind the wheel of a sleek sedan with leather seats. I have no idea what kind of car this is, but it will work. Now, I just have to drive and I’ll be on my way. I turn the ignition over and I feel the purr of the vehicle. I close my eyes as my knuckles grip the steering wheel and I’m starting to see spots. I take a deep breath, and release it slowly. I can do this.
I can do this. I can. I breathe in and out slowly.
I open my eyes and put the car into gear and ease off the break. Here we go.
I don’t know how slow I drove to get home, but it felt like it was quite a while. Davis is sitting on the couch bouncing his leg. He looks rattled, and I’m sure he thinks that I’d disappoint him and be drunk. He looks up as I walk closer and jolts up.
“Holy shit, I thought something happened to you, you were supposed to be here like 4 hours ago.” Davis nervously said.
“Didn’t Dane or Sterling call you?” I ask perplexed.
Davis gives a weird look, and looks at his phone. “Shit, no battery.”
“Shit, sorry. I got into an accident--.” Further explanation is halted by Davis throwing himself at me in a bear hug. I’m trying to pull him off of me and slowly do so. Man! He’s strong.
“Fuck, are you okay? You look fine… are you?” He stammers, looking me up and down.
“I’m alright. Passed out afterwards, but I’m okay. C’mon, you drive. I’ll tell you what happened over dinner, I promised to take you out to celebrate.” I say patting his shoulder and trying to get him towards the front door.
“Nah, man. We don’t have to. You’ve had an…eventful day.”
“C’mon, I’ll talk over food, I haven’t eaten since lunch. Plus, then I can tell you about how I knew the nurse who treated me.” I wink.
