The doctor came in and looked at the cut on the back of my head, he quickly began to wash it out with some saline solution before he numbed the area. I ended up getting four stitches to close the wound. The doctor said I was lucky to have only received a superficial cut and that I could have been knocked out cold and ended up with a serious head injury. It didn’t stop him from getting a chuckle at my expense when I had informed him of how I had gotten the injury in the first place. “Women” he laughed. “Do you need anything for the pain?”
“No I can just take some Tylenol when I get home thanks.”
“Ok, I’ll have the nurse discharge you, I want you back in one week to remove the stitches, for now though, no sports and no more hits to the head. The next time, you could end up with a concussion. I certainly don’t want your father breathing down my neck for that. Please be careful John and for the love of God pay attention to your surroundings from now.” The doctor left the room and sent the nurse in with my discharge papers. As I left the hospital I looked to see if Willa was still around. Her hearse wasn’t in the parking lot so I assumed she had finished her business and had left for home.
I got into my battered Audi and headed for home as well. I wasn’t sure how I would explain this to my father. He would definitely call Kelly’s parents and they would probably tell him about me talking to Willa, which would set him off even more because I had disobeyed a directed order from him. Well, what my dad don’t know won’t hurt him. The chances he wouldn’t see the damage were slim but I was going to pray that he didn’t and I could just play it off that I hit a dear or something on my home.
I pulled into my drive way to find my father outside giving the gardeners instructions for our well-manicured lawn. Great, here it comes. He turned to see me pull in. He waved to me as I parked the car. Of course he was all smiles at first; that is until he began to walk over to the car to greet me. “What the hell happened to the car John?” He was fuming. His face had already turned three different shades of red by the time I had managed to get out the driver’s side and grab my bag from the back seat.
“Were you in a wreck? Or was this some sort of vandalism? Either way someone is going to pay for this!”
“No dad nothing like that. I hit a dear on the way home. I took the scenic route and the thing just jumped out in front of me. I didn’t hardly have time to stop. I’m sorry. If you want I’ll get a job and pay to have it fixed myself.” The explanation was plausible. My father was too busy examining the damage to the car to notice that I had been injured, not that I had actually expected him to notice me in the first place. “Did you hear what I said dad? I’ll pay to fix it ok?”
My father finally looked up at me. He seemed surprised to see me still standing there. “What? Oh. Oh yes, well no there’s no need for that. We have insurance to pay for the damage. I’ll call my guy and they can come pick it up and have it worked on. Until then you can use the jeep.”
My father kept checking the damage and paid no further attention to me, so I took that as me being dismissed. I went up to my room and placed my things on the bed. It was getting late and I still hadn’t went out for my daily run. My head was pounding still so I decided against the run and instead laid down to rest.
I soon realized that I was a lot more tired than I had thought. I closed my eyes briefly and before I knew what happened I was dreaming of Willa.
The dream started out great. We were on our first date and I had taken her to the lookout. The stars were shining brightly in the dark sky and the moon looked as though it had tripled in size. Her hair glistened in the light of the full moon. Her snow white skin
