Starting at Sunset Chapter 7

I had gotten used to Montana by now. I wish that I could go back to California, but I liked it here now. After school on Tuesday, me and Ryan went to the Hospital to thank the doctor for helping Ryan. But when we got there, we were in for a surprise.



I didn't know what happened until it hit me. I didn't know what it was. All I could see was bright red eyes shining out from the darkness. It first hit Ryan, knocking him out cold. As I was running to his side, I felt a sharp pain coming from my leg, like something had stabbed me and drew a line into my skin. Well, that's exactly what happened. I stumbled and fell on my arm. I now had a sharp pain coming from both my leg and my arm. Then, I thought I was in a nightmare as the creature raised it's five inch claw above my head and swung. I closed my eyes waiting for the worst. After a while, I realized that I was still alive. I opened my eyes and looked over on the corner where I saw the creature holding Ryan by the throat up against the wall. I tried to stand up but the pain was too great for any weight on it. Luckily for me, there were crutches near by. I grabbed them and hoisted myself up. Then I found the nearest heavy thing I could find. I found a glass bottle and threw it at the thing. I never said I wasn't a girly-girl. I actually have perfect aim. It hit it's head and it fell to the ground. After we were sure it was out, we made a run for it. Well actually, Ryan carried me.

The next day, there was an article on the front page about the the Doctor who was attacked. He had the same wound in the head I gave the creature that attacked me the night before. I wondered if the Doctor had attacked us or the creature woke and attacked him as he walked in. Tim was freaking out over my leg though. He would not stop asking me how it happened. I kept on telling him that on my walk home from the Hospital I cut myself on a wire. And it was really beginning to get on my nerves.

I tried to walk to my bus stop the next day and it was impossible. I had to call Jeremy and ask him to give me a ride. Tim already left for work and I was home alone. I picked up the phone. Then an idea hit me. I put the phone down and laid back. They couldn't make me go to school if I couldn't walk. So that day, I would stay home. Except for the computer and TV, I was all alone. Just me. It was great. I finally got something done, like homework and such. I also got to count my money in my wallet. I had $150 dollars. I decided to save it up for a new pair of Skater Shoes. I'm not a girly-girl. I don't go shopping for the cutest fashions. I go shopping for my style. Usually just a T-shirt, ripped jeans, and skating shoes. Sometimes a hat. Any way. I was watching my favorite TV show "N.C.I.S." and "Psych" was on next. I got out my laptop and got onto my Facebook. I had a friend invitation. From Ryan. I accepted and deleted Jeffery from my friend list. That felt good. Ryan then come on and started chatting with me.

Ryan: Dani, where are you?

Dani: I'm at home. I couldn't get to school today.

Ryan: Because of your leg?

Dani: Yup.

Ryan: So what are you doing after school?

Dani: Nothing. You?

Ryan: Nope. Nothing. Hey I got to go. If Mrs. Samson catches me I dead meat.

Dani: You're in Government aren't you?

Ryan: Yup. Got to got now. Love you.

Dani: Love you too. Tweedles.

With that Ryan logged off and I had living proof that Ryan loved me. And he had living proof that I loved him.
