Saving Felix (boyxboy)

Chapter Five

I wake up to shuffling around in the kitchen, I assume it was just my mom getting home from work so I thought nothing of it and repositioned on the couch and fell back asleep.

**Felix's P.O.V.**

I wake after a few hours of sleep. Which felt really nice since I haven't slept well in weeks.

I slid off the couch as quietly as possible trying not to disturb Max. I stumble into the kitchen that was in better condition than when I was first here. I scan around the room for my shoes, I find them sitting nicely next to the door.

I try to put on my shoes, but the pain is unbearable. I fall to the floor whimpering in pain. I quickly stop when I hear stirring from the living room. I get up and let myself out without my shoes on.

I close the door behind me just before I start off into the darkness holding my shoes. After a while I appear in front of a party store. It maybe around midnight so the store is closed. I sit on a bench and finish putting on my shoes. I start coughing and wheezing from the pain in my chest. 'Maybe I should go get help.' I sigh to myself and start off to the hospital.

My music player was in my jacket so I played music. Hospital for Souls by Bring me the Horizon was playing. I sing along to pass time after I stop giggling to myself about the name.

I walk into the doors weak and pained. My wrist was not wanting to close so I keep bleeding. The cuts were deeper than normal. 'Did my subconscious self have more intentions than just release of the moment?''

The woman at the front desk noticed my face going pale just before I collapsed unconsciously onto the floor. Crashing with a painful thud running pain down my side and chest.

"Yes, his father was denying him as his child." angrily said a woman's voice. There was a long pause. "His mother said she has not had anything to do with him for four years." There was another long pause. "There are no other people to get a hold of. All grandparents are either deceased or not in state." A few other lines are said before goodbye then silence.

A girl with long blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun walks in and smiles warmly at me. "Nice to see you awake, Felix" I stare stunned into her big brown eyes. "Cat got your tongue?" She chuckles "Pardon my manners. I'm Alice, I'm your nurse." She says cheerfully as she checks my temperature and breathing. "You've been here for exactly two days about five minutes ago." She looks at me again and smiles as she places her hand on my head, stroking my hair. "You have been sleeping. Only walking up briefly to answer questions. You said you haven't slept well in weeks and that you finally felt safe. So your fragile body is finally resting." I try to speak but my voice does not come out clearly, only rough scratchy whispers. "Would you like some water?" I nod a little to desperately. She giggles at my response and leaves with a skip in her step.

I feel happier knowing I'm safe and people here are caring. Alice is a very cheerful person and extremely caring. I like that. I look around the room I was staying in. The walls are like every other hospital I've been too: bland and boring. I move to examining my bed and self. The sheets are white and the blanket is a pretty red quilt. I look at my arm and see it neatly wrapped up and held together by pink tape.

I get startled by Alice entering the room singing peacefully. "Here's your water darling." I take it fast and start to drink it with no hesitation.

"Thank you so much. That was the best tasting water ever." I whispered weakly while gasping for air.

"You're welcome." She says as she sits on the side of my bed. "You're very brave you know.."

"What do you mean?" My voice was slowly coming back to normal.
