my life page 2 and a half
When I woke up I found myself laying in a bed wearing a hospital gown with an I.V. tube sticking out of my arm. I sit up and feel a sharp pain on the back of my head. I reach back and feel a bandage above a large bump "Great I bet there is a bald patch there now." I think to myself as I slide out of bed and gingerly testing my balance. After I deem myself able to walk I grab the I.V. machine and walk over to the pile of cards and dying flowers on the table at the foot of the bed. All the cards were the generic "get well soon" cards and in the vase closest to me were a beautiful variety of tulips. "At least mom knows how to pic some beautiful flowers" I said out loud as I picked a beautiful purple tulip and brought it to my nose
"They really are beautiful," Replied a voice behind the curtin that divides the room "I saw them when your mom brought them in." I walked over and pulled the curtin aside to see who I was sharing a room with and to my surprise I found the fox that I attempted to save sitting there reading a book. He pushed his glasses up his russet colored snout and then extended his paw. "Hi I'm Sid."
"Uh, hi I'm Jake," I said as I extended my paw to shake his. "How are you feeling?"
"I have a few broken ribs as far as I know. Not badly broken, only hair line fractures. They still have to run a few tests. But I'm guessing I will be here for a few more days to a week."
"Oh. Sorry to hear that. So um do you remember what happened-" I trailed off trying to figure out when exactly the scuffle went down.
"Two days ago and no I was just walking home from 'under 21 night' at Ultraviolet and I was almost there when they jumped me." He said as his ears drooped "The last thing I remember was laying on the ground getting the shit kicked out of me and them saying 'Go back to the closet you fag' and then the next thing I knew I was waking up here."
"Ultraviolet thats the-"
"Gay bar on Palker Street, yea." He said looking at me.
The first thing I noticed about him aside his russet fur and the way he pushes his glasses back up his muzzle was how blue his eyes were. I realized that a few seconds of silence had gone by, "Oh, I uh, I heard that that's a good bar." I said, as I looked away nervously.
"Yea it is, they play a bunch of techno music and they have lasers that change colors. It's a lot of fun. They even sometimes have guest DJs, like last week they had Insane Funk"
?Insane funk. Awesome." I rambled off mindlessly cause I couldn't think of anything else to say to that. All that was in my mind was those deep passionate blue eyes. I never understood what they meant when someone said "I got lost in there eyes" but now I know oh so well cause thats all I could think about. I didn't even hear the doctor came in and lead me back to my bed. I was in my own world till he touched me on the shoulder and brought me part way back. The doctor was talking but I only got bits and pieces of it cause my mind was somewhere else with two beautiful blue eyes. The doctor said something about my head, twelve stitches, and that I would be here for two or three days to observe. He started to do some doctor things but at that point I was long gone in my own world and I stayed there till after the doc and someone poked my arm. "Honey, sweety are you OK?"
"What? Oh, hi Mom. Hi Dad." I said as I was dragged out of my blissful state of happiness. My mom was a petite little black fox and my dad is a mixture between a wolf and a husky. His attitude on how manly any male member of his family should be is mirrored by his size, and he so huge I wondered how he fit through the door. I guess that makes me all three combined. A folfsky if you will but right now I feel more like a little cub under his piercing gaze.
"How are you feeling sweety?"
"I'm fine just got hit in the head. Got a few stitches and the Doc says that I will have to stay here for a few days" I said as I rubbed my head gently.
"You'll be out of here soon the Glacins are fast healers." My dad said in that superior "we are better" tone he is so good at as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
I don't know why but I always wanted to make my dad proud of me, instinctual father son thing I guess. And I guess that's why I said what I did next "Hey Dad you hear I was in a fight?"
"Yea. I also heard you got your ass kicked."
That hurts. "He snuck up behind me" I counter as I rubbing my head again.
"You weren't even in the fight."
That shut me up fast, but thankfully at that exact moment is when my girlfriend Gina decided to walk in. As the coyote walked in I notice that the bright yellow sundress she was wearing hugged her just tight enough to show off her figure but not so much so that it was like she just walked off the strip. The way she walked in made it seem like she owned the world and the world should be happy she is there. God knows I was. Until I noticed that her ears were sticking straight up and her tail was lashing. "She's pissed" I thought and when she started talking my thoughts were confirmed. "What the hell is wrong with you. If anything bad happened to you I would have been all alone for home coming and then where would I be huh? Dateless, standing there alone looking like a complete idiot, and for what," she gestured to the bed beside mine, thankfully the doctor pulled the curtin when he left, "that?"
