Chapter 8

I let a cry in pain.

My hands immediately go to my ankle.

I close my eyes, holding in the tears.

I hear Mr. Bennett blow the whistle, stopping the game.

I fell a pair of arms wrap around my body. I squint open my eyes to see Spencer. His eyes are filled with concern.

"Kitten! Are you okay?" Spencer says in a soft yet panicked tone.

I shake my head, no.

He quickly looks down at my ankle.

"Can you try standing up?" Spencer suggests.

I give him a desperate look, but agree to try.

I lift myself up, not using my left ankle.

I then try to walk on it and i fail, I fall back down to the ground.

Spencer quickly catches me though. I look up at him and see that he is looking down at me, with concern still filled in his eyes.

"Jess!" I hear voice call out.

I turn to the sound of the voice and see Nova running up to me.

" Am I allowed to beat up that guy?" She questions, talking about giant dude, that smashed me to the ground.

I give her a weak smile at her attempt to make me feel better.

Mr. Bennett comes over to us.

"Bring her to the nurses office Spencer." He exclaims.

Spencer scoops me up bride style and I squeal in surprise. I don't think he noticed though, since he was deeply thinking about something. So I ask him about it.

"Spencer what you thinking so hard about?"

"Oh nothing, just how I am going to smash Hunter's bones for what he did to you." He states calmly as he continues to carry me.

"Spencer don't worry about it, I don't think he meant to push me that hard." I say gently.

He doesn't believe me though. "Yes he did, and he is going to pay!" He replies angrily.

"Just don't hurt him too much okay?" I plead, feeling sorry for the guy. Even though he is like 6'5, Spencer will crush him.

He sighs. "I won't even try to be nice." Spencer exclaims honestly.

Spencer opens the door to the room that is labelled. Nurse's office.

Inside is a plump happy looking middle aged woman. She sits at her desk, which is fill with tons of papers.

The nurse looks up from her paperwork.

She immediately smiles. "Hello, I'm Nurse Mary Margaret. What's the problem."

I immediately go to point to my ankle, but I notice Spencer is still holding me.

I whisper to him." Um Spencer, you can let me down now."

He lets me down awkwardly, and I notice a faint blush across his cheeks.

Spencer let's me balance on him, so I don't fall flat on my face.

"Um I hurt my ankle." I say lifting up my leg and pointing to my left ankle.

"Ah, let's see. Here darling, you can lay down, while I examine it." The kind nurse says, motioning toward the bed.

I do as she says. Spencer helps me hop over to the bed.

"So how did u hurt it? It seems pretty bad." She questions.

"Um I got pushed in soccer, I'm fine though really." I say trying to reassure her.

"Oh honey you must of got pushed pretty hard, you seemed to have possibly severely sprained your ankle." The nurse replies, as she further examines it.

She then applies a bit more pressure to it.

"Ow!" I yelp. I also jump up a bit.

Spencer is right by my side though.

"Shh, shh, it's going to be okay." He says soothing me, as he rubs my hand gently.

I nod my head, as I calm down.

They probably both think I'm some weak little girl.

"Well, I can tell now that you just sprained your ankle, but don't worry it's not severe. So you don't have to go to the hospital, I can treat it right here." The nurse says, somewhat reassure me. I notice her name tag. Her name is Mary Margaret Brenner.

"How do you already know I have a sprained ankle." I exclaim in astonishment. She knew I had a sprained ankle within minutes.

Mrs. Brenner chuckles. "There is a simple, yet complicated secret trick I know." She says, her eyes twinkling.

"I'll let you keep it a secret then." I reply smiling.

"Anyways, I can tell that you did not break any bones. But I'm going to ask you to wear a brace for a few weeks, so that it can heal. You will also need to rest for awhile, and ice it off and on for the next couple of days. Lastly I want you to raise your foot for about 2 or 3 hours each day. You should start trying to use your ankle fairly soon, in 1-3 days." She explains throughly.

"Okay thank you so much Mrs. Brenner." I say lifting myself up.

Spencer comes to my help and let's me put a arm around his shoulder, so I can lean on him as I walk.

"Yes no problem honey. Oh, I need your name so I can fill out a medical sheet on what happened." She says, getting out a notepad.

"My name is Jessica Michaels." I reply, and with the nod of her head we leave the nurse's office.

"Is gym over?" I then ask Spencer, as I hobble through the hallway.

"It will be in like..." He starts, as he fishes his phone out of his pocket. "Five minutes."

"So should we go back outside?"

"I guess we could. By the time we get there, there will be like 3 more minutes left. Once you get there can you find Nova, you girls can go get changed?" Spencer exclaims.

"Um sure, why?" I ask confused.

"Well, I have some business I have to do and it won't be pretty." He states, squinting his eyes in determination. Huh?

"Do I even want to know?" I reply, as we get out of the school and head over to the soccer fields.

"Nope." Spencer states popping the p in nope.

I roll my eyes. My eyes then suddenly widen. Oh, no. He is going to hurt the giant dude, Hunter.

"Wait, Spencer-" I start, but then notice he is gone.

I search all over the field, then find him talking to Parker. They are looking Hunter menacingly.

I try to hobble over to them, but I can't quite get there fast enough.

Nova suddenly runs up to me, stopping me.

"Jess, you can't stop Spencer now. Let's go." She says firmly, she turns me around.

As we walk away I give one glance back to the field. The last thing I see is Spencer walking over to Hunter.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
I couldn't stop thinking about how badly Spencer beat up Hunter or if Hunter fought back how badly Spencer had been hurt.

I was now in AP calculus and Mrs. Bailey was currently teaching the lesson.

I sit there, clouded in all my thoughts as she teaches.

"Jessica what is the answer to this equation?"

I snap out of my daydream, to look at Mrs. Bailey and the board.

My eyes briefly look over the equation for a few seconds before I give my answer.

"14.5" I state.

"Well, miss Michaels you are correct." Miss Bailey exclaims, proudly.

She turns back to the board. I turn back to my thinking.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
Once the bell rings, I immediate rush out of class. Well I try my best, hobbling.

I walk/hobble down the hallway. I cling my binder to my chest.

I try to ignore all the weird stares I'm getting. I don't know if they heard what happened earlier or they are just weirded out by my walking.

I also try to find anyone I know. Like Emma, Nova, Jace, Parker or Spencer.

Oh god I hope Spencer isn't in trouble. He always gets angry at guys and gets scary. Spencer probably also got hurt though, by Hunter.

If I got a sprained ankle from just being pushed down by the guy, a blow to the face from him will have to do some severe damage.

I suddenly see Parker walk by in the other hallway. I rush over to him as speedy as I can manage.

"Parker!" I shout frantically. He doesn't hear me though.

"Parker!" I shout again. This time he hears me, thankfully.

He turns around to see me as I hobble over to him.

"Oh hi Jess." He says calmly. How the fudge nuggets can he be so calm right now?

"What happen when I left the field? Is Spencer okay? Did he beat up Hunter?" I rush out to Parker.

Oddly he smiles. "Oh yea, Spencer beat that tool bag up. But he also got hurt a bit. They were also both called down to the office." Parker answers, still calm as heck.

"Is that where you are going?" I rush out. For some reason I am extremely nervous.

"I guess I could bring you there." He suggests. "Since you don't know where it is."

"Well since you are already going there." I reply.

We start to walk in a totally different direction.

"Yep."

Silence comes upon us, until Parker asks a question.

"So how badly did that asshole hurt your ankle?" He states.

I cringed at his choice of description of Hunter.

"He didn't mean to hurt me Parker, he was just playing his normal way." I explain.

He scoffs. "Jess, I mean to tell you this so harsh, but Hunter actually smashed you to the ground. Hard. Everyone could tell it was on purpose. I don't know why he did it, I mean who would want to hurt you?" Parker exclaims.

"I wouldn't really know I didn't really see him." I reply, jokingly. I'm trying to get out of all this seriousness.

"Well we all did and Spencer took a certain hit too when he saw him hurt you."

I give him a look that say 'what are you even talking about'. He doesn't respond though, since we are already at the principals office.

Parker stops at the door.

I give him a confused look. 

"You can go in by yourself. You see, Mr. Richards isn't particularly fond of me." He states as if he doesn't care that the principal of the school hates him. Oh so do all the teachers too apparently.

I roll my eyes in response. Suddenly nervous, I open the door to the office.

Inside sits the Mr. Richards, Spencer and Hunter. Mr. Richards is fuming, Hunter looks scared, and Spencer just looks plain bored. Huh.

They all turn they're heads toward me, and they all look surprised.

"Miss. Michaels what in the world are you doing here?" Mr. Richards voice booms at me. He is scary. He looks terrifying, like he ruins students dreams daily.

"I-uh I just wanted to say that it was my fault that they fought." I stutter out.

"And how in the world is it your fault?" He questions accusingly.

"Hunter accidentally pushed me a bit too hard in soccer and Spencer got mad and wanted to fight Hunter." I exclaim in only one sentence what happened.

Spencer suddenly speaks up, and he is angry.

"She didn't do anything at all. That douchebag over here thought it would be cool to smash her to the ground. Even when he is fucking double her size." He exclaims, agitated and clenching his fists.

"I think it would fantastic if you boys have detention tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that." Mr. Richards states, as if he hadn't heard Spencer's rant. He claps his hands, probably excited that he is giving students punishment.

"But Mr. Richards! I did nothing! I was playing soccer like I usually do and Jessica just fell to the ground, I just nudged her! Then Spencer, over here..." Hunter angrily complains, as he points accusingly at Spencer. "Just started trying to beat the living shit out of me. So I fought back, it was self defence."

Is he practically saying that I am weak? And for your information dirtbag I was not just nudged!

"THAT IS ENOUGH! You boys are having detention like I said, tomorrow and the two days after that!" Mr. Richards voice shouts out, the whole school can probably hear him, heck the whole town. "As for you Jessica, I think that, that sprained ankle is enough punishment for you." He then adds.

The boys both start to complain, but the strict principal hushes them. He warns them about adding another day, so they both just gave up.

Spencer, Hunter, and me all leave the office.

I suddenly remember that I still have to pick Lily up from school. Eh, I guess I can drive with a sprained ankle.

I then tell Spencer where I am going.

"Okay kitten, just be careful driving." He exclaims, softly.

I nod my head in response. "Sir yes, yes sir." I say jokingly.

He rolls his eyes, but chuckles.

I then head off to my locker and grab all my homework and backpack as fast as I can.

After that, I go to the parking lot and hop in my car. I'm off.

I drive to her school in about 2 or 3 minutes. I was careful though, I promise!

I spot Lily playing around with a few of her friends.

I get out of my car mad hobble over to her.

She immediately notices me. Lily also notices how I'm limping.

"What happened Jess? Are you okay?"  Is the first thing she says to me.

"Oh nothing, I just got pushed in soccer and sprained my ankle. Don't worry I'm fine." I reply softly.

"Okay Jess. Hope you feel better." Lily exclaims, as we walk to my car.

"Thanks Lily. Alright let's go home now." I say to her, as we hop in the car.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
The first thing I do when I get home is rest. I prop myself up on the couch, comfortably and put an ice pack on my foot, like Mrs. Brenner instructed.

I watched a bit of tv for awhile, but that got boring. I then took out my homework and finished it as well. Since I had nothing to do, I went back to watching tv again.

I also made just a pizza for supper. Lily loved that, I did too. I love pizza.

I make my way back to the my spot on the couch. I watch tv for about ten minutes when, suddenly  I hear a knock on the door. Huh.

It takes me awhile to get up, but I walk over to the door.

I open it and come face to face with.....

Spencer.

He smiles down at me, but his smile soon fades when he sees me ankle. I put it a brace to help it, earlier.

"Hi Spencer." I greet him.

"Hi kitten." Is the short response I get.

"What are you doing here?" I question, getting straight to the point.

"Well, I wanted to check up on you. How are you feeling?" He replies, stuffing his hands in his jean pockets.

"Better, I guess. Would you like to come inside?" I exclaim, opening the door a bit more.

"Sure. I'll stay for a little while." Spencer says.

I let him in the house. I limp over to the couch. Spencer follows me.

I get comfortable in my spot in the couch. Spencer sits on the end of the couch where my feet are. He lightly lifts them up and sets them on his lap. His eyes still focused on my ankle.

"So do you want to watch a movie?" I ask, taking his focus away from my ankle.

"Sure, what do you have?" Spencer asks.

I click on Netflix in response.

"We are watching the hunger games." I declare.

"What about my opinion?" He exclaims, pouting.

"Your opinion doesn't matter." I state in an obvious tone. "We are watching the hunger games."

"What if I don't like the hunger games?" He questions.

I let out a huge gasp. "How dare you say that that! You take it back right now you mutt!"

He gives me a confused look, but agrees to watch this movie.

Spencer eventually made popcorn for us. We then ate it all, well mostly me. Spencer didn't seem disgusted at how I eat like a pig, which is surprising.

My eyes begin to get droopy, but I fight to stay awake till the end.

Suddenly I drift off into a peaceful sleep, with the last thing I see is Katniss and Peeta kissing in the cave.
