Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Romance ❯ Chapter 2

Eric kept his foot floored on the accelerator. He'd lost them hours ago but he didn't want to take any chances. He didn't want to go back and they couldn't make him even his father and mother. It started raining hard but he didn't slow down. Suddenly the car hydroplaned and he crashed into a tree.

 

 

"What was that!" Audrey screamed jumping in her bed.

 

"Thunder. Go back to bed," Clarisse groaned and turned over.

 

"No it didn't sound like thunder," Audrey said. She climbed out of her bad and looked out of the dorm's eighteenth floor's only room's bedroom window. She put her perfectly manicured hands over her mouth and gasped.

 

"What?" Clarisse sighed.

 

"Someone crashed a car into the old oak tree," Audrey said.

 

Clarisse jumped out of bed and rushed nest to her. The girls looked at each other, grabbed their designer rain coats, and rushed out of the dorm.

 

 

"Do you think he's dead?" Clarisse asked.

 

"No," Audrey whispered.

 

"He's probably drunk. Let's get security," Clarisse said.

 

"No!" Audrey gasped.

 

"What's going through that blond head of yours?" Clarisse asked scared.

 

"Help me," Audrey whispered grabbing the boy's shoulders.

 

"No way!" Clarisse yelled.

 

"Shhh!" Audrey hushed. "Please." She begged.

 

Clarisse breathed deeply and grabbed the boy's legs. The girls clumsily carried the boy back to their dorm room. The only one on the eighteenth floor.

 

"I'm getting the dorm advisor," Clarisse said.

 

"Not if you want to keep living in this dorm," Audrey said.

 

"You wouldn't," Clarisse said.

 

"Walk out this room and I will," Audrey said. She covered the boy on her bed with a blanket.

 

"What if he's a serial killer?" Clarisse asked.

 

"He can't be he's too cute," Audrey said.

 

"Audrey!" Clarisse scolded.

 

"Claire," Audrey said playfully.

 

"Don't call me that!" Clarisse snapped.

 

"Just relax and go back to bed. I'll watch him," Audrey said.

 

Clarisse scoffed but climbed into her own bed and turned her back to Audrey.

 

Audrey started running her fingers through the boy's light brown hair. She cautiously put her nose to his mouth and sniffed. 'No alcohol.' She thought. 'I wonder who he is. I've never seen him before and he's cute.' She put band-aids on his cuts. Nothing else seemed to be wrong with him as far as she could see. Audrey smiled and walked to her vanity. She turned on the mirror light and began applying make-up. Audrey smacked her freshly glossed lips together and smiled at herself in the mirror. In the reflection of the mirror Audrey saw the boy move. She gasped and turned the light off. Her heart leaped. She could hear it pounding in her ears as she got up and kneeled beside her bed. She began to wring her hands as the boy's head moved from side to side. Audrey's jaw dropped as the boy's light icy blue eyes opened.

 

Eric's entire body ached. He moved his head and opened his eyes. He saw wondering violet blue eyes looking at him.

 

"What happened?" he asked.

 

"You had a really bad accident," the girl told him.

 

Audrey reached her hands over to the boy and grasped his hand smiling.

 

"What's your name?" Audrey asked the boy sweetly while batting her eyes.

 

"Eric Grant." He said making up a last name.

 

Audrey smiled as goose bumps covered her skin.

 

"What's yours?" Eric asked the girl.

 

"Audrey Carnation, and that's Clarisse Belleview sleeping over there," Audrey pointed to the other bed. "I wouldn't talk to her if I were you. She thinks you're a serial killer." Audrey giggled.

 

"Well I'm not," Eric said smiling at the babbling blond. He winced and Audrey gasped.

 

"I can bring you to a doctor," Audrey offered.

 

"No!" Eric said forcefully.

 

Audrey looked taken aback.

 

"I'm okay. Just a little bruised," he said.

 

"How did you crash?" Audrey asked.

 

"Hydroplaning," Eric said.

 

"Where are you from? I've never seen you before. This school's kind of small," Audrey asked.

 

Eric panicked. "Um, I'm transferring. I got a scholarship."

 

Audrey's eyes opened wide. She looked like a deer in headlights.

 

"I grew up in Pennsylvania," Eric said looking away from her.

 

Audrey nodded her head. She sighed and looked out the window. The moonlight shined around her and made her look angelic. Eric's stomach felt uneasy as he looked at her.

 

"Where's your dorm?" Audrey asked.

 

"I don't have one because I can't afford it. The scholarship was only for tuition," Eric said.

 

"Well you can stay here as long as you like," Audrey gushed.

 

"Thanks," Eric smiled as she blushed.

 

Audrey smiled back.
