My Comfy Place

Chapter 10

Type's POV
They soccer game ended and I'm exhausted, but I know that when I'm home I have a lot of questions to answer.

I'm on my way home when I received a call from Techno.
"Hey Type, where are you now?"
"I'm on my way home, why?"
"I found Tharn in a dark street next to his work, it looks like someone has been beating him, because he bleeds and he has a hard time breathing. I don't even know if he know I'm here." I heard Techni say in a worried look.
"Okay, send me your location we will go to the hospital."
"Okay but hurry because I don't know how long he will be conscious."
"Okay I'm on my way."

I ran to my car, once I got in I drove to the location Techno sends me.
I have send a message to my parents, saying I was fine and will be home this evening, but that I was going to the hospital because a friend was beaten.

When I got to the place where Techno was, I saw Tharn laying on the floor, covered in blood holding his stomach.
I ran to Techno and asked him what happened.

"Techno what happened?"
"I don't know, I was passing by and I saw him here laying on the floor, so I panicked and called you."
"Okay, I will ask him later what happened. Now we need to bring him to the hospital."
"Okay."

We lifted him from the ground and brought him to my car. I gave Techno my keys and asked him to drive.

"Here Techno you drive I'm gonna check him on the backseat."
"Okay, but be careful."
"Ofcourse I'm gonna be careful, he's hurt do you really think I will hurt him more?"
"No, but now stop complaining and get in the car so we can go."

I got in the car with Tharn on the backseats and Techno got on the drivers seat.

I lifted Tharn's shirt to look at his stomach, it was bleeding and saw a bit blue. This can't be good. I looked at his head and I saw some cuts on his head. Hopefully its not as bad as it looks, I hoped.

When I saw Tharn opening his eyes again, he looked at me confused. I looked worried. He was about to ask something but I cut him off.

"We found you on the ground almost half dead, we are going to bring you to the hospital so we can get you checked."
"What about my work?"
"Don't worry about your work now, focus on yourself."
He was about to refuse, but I cut him of again.
"I will go there tomorrow and explain it, I think they would understand."
He just looked at me and then nodded softly. He was laying on my lap until we reached the hospital.

We reached the hospital after 10 minutes, Techno parked the car. Now Techno helps me taking Tharn out of the car.
We walk in and go to the ER. I sat down with Tharn on a chair while Techno is going to search for a nurse or a doctor. I know I look relaxed but I'm freaking out on the outside

Techno came back with a nurse and she directly grabbed a wheelchair and we helped her setting Tharn in it. She walked with him in a room and told us to stay outside.

We wait for 45 minutes and then she came to us.

"How is he?" I asked her.
"He's okay now but he has a broken arm and a few bruised ribs, he is going to be okay, but he needs to stay here for tonight and after that he needs to take a good care."
"So he is going to be okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, if his wounds are treated good then everything is going to be fine."
"Okay, so can we see him now?" I asked.
"Yeah but be careful?"
"Okay, which room is it?"
"He is brought to room 203."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"No problem, its my job."
"Okay, bye."

We walked to his room.
When we walked in I saw him just looking around before he looked at us. He smiled at us.
How can he smile when he is looking like this.

"Hey." He said.
"Hey, how do you feel?"
"Better now, but it still hurts a bit."
"Do you need something?"
"Maybe just some rest but thats it."
"Okay, then go take a nap."

I looked beside me because Techno didn't say anything. He just looked at me and smirked, and I know what he means with that smirk so I slapped his head.

"AWW what was that for?"
"You had that stupid smirk on your face and its irritating."
"Yeah yeah, but you know what I mean and its true."
"Just shut up."
"So when are you going home?"
"I don't know, maybe I stay here, but I need to call my mom first."
"Okay, but I'm going home, my parents are waiting."
"Okay see you tomorrow."
"Yeah see you."

When he walked out I sat next to the bed and looked at tharn. Then I remembered I needed to call my parents.
I walked to the window that was a bit further from the bed so that I don't wake him up.

"Hey Type when are you coming home?" My mom
"I was actually going to ask if I can spend the night at the hospital, because there is no one else to take care of him and I don't want him to be alone."
"What about his parents?"
"I don't know about them the only thing I know I that he is as old as me and lives alone and he works before and after school."
"Oh thats so sad for him, its good he has a friend like you, and I can hear he is a good influence on you to, because if it was someone else you wouldn't care that much."
"Mom not you too, but I can stay here right?"
"Yeah, and if he wants to he can come live with us until he is healed."
"Are you serious mom, that would be amazing."
"Sure, but I want you home tomorrow, so we can talk."
"Sure mom see you tomorrow and thanks."
"No problem my son."
"Bye love you."
"Love you too."

I walked back to the chair and saw him frowning in his sleep, I massaged between his brows until he stopped frowning. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps.

Not long after I feel my eyes getting heavy and I fall asleep.

Tharn's POV
When I woke up the next day I saw Type sleeping on the chair with his head on my bed. He looks cute when he sleeps, but his sleeping position looks uncomfortable.

I stared at him for awhile until I saw a nurse coming in my room.

"Hello, I'm just here to check on you to see if everything is fine and so you can leave today."
"Oh okay."
"So how do you feel?"
"I feel fine, its less hurt but I can still feel it when I move."
"Thats normal but its good that you are getting better, I think that you are good to go home today."
"Thank you."
"I will get your papers so you can go."
"Okay, and thank you for looking after me."
"No problem, its my job, but you have a good friend there, he stayed with you the whole night."
"Yeah, I know." I smiled.
"I'm gonna leave now."

When she was gone I looked at Type and tried to wake him up. He groand and he was frowning. He looked more cute when he's frowning.
Eventually I got him to wake up.

"Good morning." He said.
"Good morning, sleepyhead."
"How are you feeling?"
"Good, the nurse is getting my papers and then I can go home."
"Thats good news, but I called my mom yesterday and she said that you can stay with us until you are better."
"You really don't need to do that I can take care of myself."
"Yeah sure, and then you are going to work like this and get more hurt and my parents want to meet you too, they know all my friends so they want to know who my new friend is."
"But I don't want to bother you and your family, you said you are already having a though time, I don't want to be a burden."
"You are not a burden, and my mom even said it herself."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah so if the nurse is back I will take you to your place so you can pack some stuff and come to my house until you are fully healed."
"And what about my work?"
"Techno already told them what happened and they give you some days of, but you are still getting paid, maybe not as much as usual but still you get paid."
"Thank you for taking good care of me, nobody ever did this to me." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Its not a problem, we are friends remember, and if we are gonna live together for a while I can get to know you better and you can get to know me."
"Yeah sounds nice."
"Yeah."

Then we just smiled at each other until the nurse came back and we broke out eye contact.

"So here are your papers, you can put on your clothes and then you can go home."
"Okay thank you."
"No problem."

Then she left.

"Here some clothes." Type said.
"Huh?"
"I had some extra clothes in my car that are a little big and I wanted to bring them back but you can wear them because your clothes are dirty."
"Okay, thank you, I will wash them and give them back."
"You don't need to, you can have them."
"Thanks."

I went to the bathroom and changed, it was a bit hard to put my clothes on with a broken arm. When I came out I saw he already packed everything and we were ready to go home.
