Made in the USA

Anastasia's POV

Polly was doing her homework on the Granite table I had in the kitchen.
“How was class?” I asked.

Mason walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water.

“It went well remember the cute blonde I was telling you about?” Polly asked.

I looked at her as Mason choked on his water. She wasn’t looking up so I don’t think she knew Mason was in the room.

“Yea Greg right? The British guy” I said.
“Yea him” she said as she looked at her book.
“What about him?” I asked her as I continued cutting vegetables.
“I have a date tonight” she said.

Mason left the room and she looked at me.

“I was wondering if I can borrow those black heels?” she asked.
“Sure if they fit go for it” I said.
She nodded and looked back at her homework.

“So you’re over Mason?” I asked.
“Well might as well move on” she said.
I nodded and she looked up at me.
“Where is Mason anyway?” she asked.
I shrugged and she nodded.
“Can I borrow your car?” she asked.
“My car is not here yet” I said.
She raised an eyebrow.
“Laura wasn’t to happy when my dad kicked her out so she took it out on my windows” I said.

She shook her head and laughed.

“Wow talk about crazy” she said.
I nodded and smiled.
“Well something positive came out. Jake doesn’t drink anymore. He’s going back to school. He’s going to rehab and getting himself cleaned up” I said.

She smiled and nodded.
“Have you called lover boy?” she asked.
I shook my head and on cue my phone began ringing.
“Hello” Polly said answering my phone.

“You aren’t Nas”
She smiled and laughed.
“I’m glad you can tell our voices apart” she said.
He laughed and I smiled to myself.
“Is she there by any chance?”
“Yea she is but she’s making dinner” Polly said.
“Mind putting her on speaker then?”
“Sure” Polly said sticking out her tongue.
She put the phone next to me and I smiled.
“Hello” I said.
“Afternoon Beautiful”
Polly awed silently and I rolled my eyes.
“So I should get back by like early September”
“You mean next week?” I asked.
“oh wow really?”
I laughed and threw the veggies in the pan.
“Yes sir, Next week is September” I said.
“Wow time passes by fast”
I smiled.
“Yes it does” I said.
“so um can you pick me up from the airport?”
“sure” I said.
“Ok then I need to book a flight, and I can hear food sizzling so ill let you cook”
I smiled
“Ok then just call me later to tell me your flight info” I said.
“Ok then ill talk with you later”
“Bye take care and good luck” I said
“Bye and thank you!”

Why was I wishing him good luck? He was going to orientation camp for the Olympics. If he made the team then he would be so happy, and even if he didn’t make it I think he would be glad and happy because he was chosen as a few to try out.

I hung up and Polly squealed.
“He is so into you!” she said.

“I was reading the other day”
I sarcastically looked at her surprised and she pouted.
“I’m smart” she said pouting.
“I know Polly continue” I said.
“I was reading what a Lavender Rose means” she said.
I looked at her and she smiled.
“And let me tell you that I need to find me a guy just like your boyfriend. Does he have friends?” she asked jokingly.

“Hey hey” I said.
She looked at me and turned when she saw I wasn’t looking at her. Mason looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
“Do you know when my car gets here?” I asked.
He nodded and glanced at Polly who went back to doing her math homework.
“It get’s here tomorrow actually” he said.
I nodded and he looked at me.
“I’m heading out”
“Where?” I asked.
He looked at me and I raised an eyebrow.
“I have friends here you know” he said.

I nodded and smiled. Mason was jealous and he was taking it out on other people.

“go on then” I said.

He sighed and left.

“He has friends because well he came here last year Nas” she said.
I nodded and continued making dinner.
“Wanna go somewhere tomorrow?” I asked.
She looked at me and smiled.
“Got anything in mind?” she asked.
I shrugged and she smiled.
“Take out a nice dress we are taking you clubbing” she said.
****Later that night. Well morning because it was 1am*****

“Well that was lame” I said getting into my car.
She laughed and nodded.
“Yes it was”

My phone filled up with voicemails of Brandon and Mason. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Polly who was looking at her phone. I quickly dialed Brandon’s number and I heard him answer.

“Hello?”
“Brandon you called?” I asked.
“Oh thank god”
I started my car and I began driving.
“What happened?” I asked.
“You weren’t answering your phone and you never turn off your phone”
“Sorry, I went clubbing so I decided to turn it off” I said.

There was a pause on his behalf until he spoke up.

“Should I be worried?”
“Nah it was a gay club” I said.

I smiled when I heard him chuckle.

“Why on earth would you go in there?”
“Hey I actually didn’t really enjoy it. All they wanted was me to call and tell their you know other halves that I was their girlfriend or something like that” I said.
He laughed.
“You danced though?”
“Yes sir with Polly though” I said.
He laughed.
“That’s good then”
“Hey listen, Mason is calling me right now I have to go” I said.
“Ok then ill talk with you tomorrow”
“Bye” I said.
‘Bye sleep tight”
“Oh I just realized the time” I said.
“It’s fine. I know you're fine”
“Good night” I said.
“Night”

I hung up and answered Mason’s call.

“Where are you?”
“Uh about to head home” I said.
“Can you come pick me up?”
“Where are you?” I asked.
“I’m fine”

I took a deep breath and Polly began looking for the closest hospital.

“You were in a car accident?” I asked once he finished talking
“Something like that. I went to eat, but I walked there and I didn’t want to walk back to I called a cab”
“What hospital are you in?” I asked.
He gave me the address and I began driving.
I got out of the car as soon as I parked it and Polly squealed.
“I can’t walk as fast!” she said as she tried to catch up to me.

“Name?”
“Mason Ludwig” I said.
“ahh yes follow me”

I got Polly’s hand and we walked into the hospital room. Mason looked up and I rushed over to him.
“Are you ok?” I asked looking at the white bandage that covered his right temple.
“Yea” he said.
He looked at me and I saw his eyes were dilated.
“Are you sure?” Polly asked him.
He nodded and blinked slowly.
“They put something in my eyes said it was going to make me see things blurry” he said.
I nodded and I looked at him.
“Does your head hurt?” I asked.
He smiled.
“I feel great actually. They have me on some great stuff” he said.
I smiled at him and nodded.
“Of course” I said.
“What exactly happened?” Polly asked.

He pulled her into a hug and put his head on her shoulder. She looked at me and I shrugged.

“I’m tired” he mumbled onto her shoulder.

I looked up and saw a Doctor. He looked like he had been working here for a while now. His eyes looked dull and he looked exhausted. He looked up at me and gave me a genuine smile. I smiled at him because well these are the doctors who enjoy their jobs.

“And you are?”
“I’m his sister and she’s his girlfriend” I said lying through my teeth.
“Ok then very well. He is free to go because he has no concussion”
I nodded at him and the doctor smiled.
“He must be monitored for 24 hours though. Just keep him at your side. He can’t sleep for another 2 hours”
I nodded and looked at the time.
“Ok then” I said.
He smiled and looked at Mason.
“You are free to go Mason, just sign this form”

I looked at Mason and he scribbled his signature.

“Your shirt is all bloodied up” I said.
He nodded and looked at his hospital gown he had on.
“Ok” I said slipping off my hoodie.
He looked at me and I rolled my eyes.
“It’s black Mase” I said helping him out of the gown.

He had jeans on, just not a shirt. He leaned on me and groaned. I smiled and zipped up the hoodie.

“Can I sleep?”
“Nope” I said as the Doctor handed me a prescription.
I thanked him and Mason pouted.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Because we’re gonna go eat” Polly told him.
He looked at her and smiled.
“Ok” he said.
I smiled and helped him up.
“Come on can you walk?” I asked.
He nodded and took a step.
“They feel like jelly” he mumbled.

I laughed and Polly and I managed to drag him to the car. He leaned on the window and Polly sat next to him.

“Hey come on stay awake” she told him.
“How much longer?”
She smiled at him.
Like another two hours” she said.
He looked at his phone and squinted.
“It’s 2am” he stated.
“I’m glad you can tell time Mase” I said pulling out of the hospital.
