This Ain't The End [The WANTED FanFiction - Nathan Sykes]

This Ain't The End - Part 29

Dad left and there was silence once again in the room. The idea of contacting Nathan had completely left my head as soon as I looked back at Nessy. She looked like a robot. A dead, non-functioning robot. I wanted her back desperately but was constantly fearing the worse.

Doctors and nurses came in and out similarly to before for another hour. It wasn't until my phone started ringing that I managed to snap out of the daze I was in.

'Yeah?' I said into the receiver, without looking at caller ID.

'Er Lola? It's me. Nath. Was just wondering, where are you?'

The sound of his voice brought back the memory of this morning that I had completely forgotten about. He'd asked me out. He'd asked me out. I gulped, panicking a reply.

'Oh my goodness. I am so sorry Nath! I just forgot. God I feel so bad I-,' I began babbling off but he stopped me. I could almost hear his smile.

'It's okay Lo. I completely understand. You can stay there if you'd like? Or... Or I could come over?' he suggested. My heart soared at the option of him coming over and almost agreed too soon.

'Would you? I mean, if it's no trouble of course. I don't want to interrupt you if you have pl-,' he cut across again.

'Of course I'll come Lo. Don't you worry. I'll be there in half an hour,' he said and subsequently, we hung up. The idea of Nathan coming over renewed me with energy. When a nurse came in again, asking if there was anything I needed, instead of my usual reply of a head shake, I sat up.

'Actually... I was wondering...' I began and explained the situation to her. She smiled and nodded once I'd finished.

'I shall keep an eye out for him and tell the receptionists to as well,' she said and left with a grin.

I leant back in my chair once that was sorted, feeling slightly comforted with the idea that he was genuinely coming. But as time went on my thoughts began spiralling what ifs. What if he didn't turn up? What if he got lost? What if he was lying? What if he didn't really like me and just wanted to make me look like a fool? As per usual, anxiety began getting the better of me as questions span out of control. So much so I barely heard the door open until he sat next to me.

'Hey,' was what snapped me out. I looked straight up to the side of me to see Nathan sat there with a smile on his face.

'Hey,' I replied, smiled back.

'Anything happen?' he asked. I sighed, shaking my head. He rubbed my back comfortingly.

'Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be okay,' he said. I nodded, not fully believing him. He saw right through it. Placing his hand gently on my cheek, he turned my head towards him.

'Hey... It's going to be okay. One way or another,' I nodded. He then pulled me closer and just held me in his arms for a while. And despite being in probably the most depressing place I could think of, I couldn't help feeling slightly happier. I lay my head on his shoulder, just by his neck and felt my mind calm down. It'd be up and worrying all day, just a moment or so of silence was very much appreciated.

Sitting in silence made my mind feel peaceful. His arms around me I felt content.
