Falling for that boy

Chapter 4; It's that boy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liz P.O.V


I look towards the door. Just as Charlie walks in.

"Hi Lizzie," Charlie said. He looked like he hadn't slept at all.

"Hi" I felt shy knowing he'd called me by my childish nickname that only Eve and Claud
called me. Also a little shy because I only had on the ugly hospital gowns, required to be worn as a patient.

"You remember me, right?" he asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, I do. Um Charlie right?" I can't believe he came all this way without even knowing me.

"Yep" He replied. Looking at the floor. Putting his hands in his pockets.

"I can't believe you came all this way. I mean..." I looked at my hands

"You don't even know me."

"Sure I do, besides. Who else would've brought you here" he said with a small smile.

"Oh my god. YOU brought me here? You even came back to see if I was alright" I say shocked.

"Actually I stayed the night here, I wanted to make sure you were okay." He murmured at his
feet.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to take up so much of your time" My eyes started tearing up.

Then I said to myself more than to him "I told myself I'd only get dropped off and then leave you
alone." "I'm an idiot"

"Hey, no it's okay, I wanted to stay."

Then out loud again I said " Im sorry"

"Here maybe you can give me a smile I haven't seen one all day." he said looking hopeful.

My heart rate sped up a bit as I tried to hold back a small smile that was creeping up my face. He was being so nice to me.
Finally the smile broke free.
And he gave me a dimple grin back. Even his eyes were smiling. 

That gaze was so burning but I couldn't look away.

Then randomly he looked down

"Um here" he gave me a piece of paper.
"It's my phone number " He trailed off
"You can text me if you need anything"
"Anything at all" he said.
" I- I mean I should probably go." He rushed.

He was so sweet and funny. Honestly I didn't want him to go, but I'd be imposing to ask for him to stay so I gave him a weak smile.
Then he gave me a weak smile back. He waved and ducked out of the room.

Charlie P.O.V

Her eyes are such a beautiful blue. God I need to look away.
"Um here" I wrote my number onto a piece of paper.
"It's my phone number "
"You can text me if you need anything" Come on Charlie shut up
"Anything at all." What is wrong with me?
" I mean I should probably go." She probably need sleep.
For some reason the look in her eye looked pained. I figured I'd better go soon. She needed to rest and all. I didn't want to go, but It'd be rude to ask if I could stay
She gave me a weak smile.
Then gave her a weak smile back. I waved and ducked out of the room.
Man why am I so breathless. A shiver runs up arms.
"You like her. Don't you." Confused, I turn around.
"Huh?"
"That's my little sister," the girl said smiling.
"Yeah, I mean no"
Then a blush runs up my face.
"OMG you totally do"
"Maybe, I don't know" I reply, trying so hard to keep my cool.
"Wait, who are you anyways?" she asked clearly not meeting me yet.
"Uh, my name's Charlie. I brought um... Uh Elizabeth here after the ... well yeah"
"Boy" she rolled her eyes "I know she said you could call her Liz, so it's fine"
"Uh yeah, okay" I rub the back of my head, blushing.
"Right," I said. Wanting to fill the lack of conversation.
At that moment I hear a thud and then I turn to the direction from where it came from. Lizzie's room.
I peaked my head through the door. She was on the floor. Her beautiful light brown hair covering her eyes as she holds her left arm in pain. It looked like she tripped over something and hit her broken wrist onto the floor. I speed walked into the room after realizing she needed help and I was just standing there staring at her.
"Woah, what happened here?" I asked curiously.
"Um, I- uh" She mumbled.
"Ow, ow ow" She's cradling her left arm, it wasn't properly casted yet, the ER was crowded with patients with heart, head and breathing related issues. Those are prioritized so they were only able to quickly wrap her bandage
"Woah are you okay? Do you need some help?" I ask, as I walk towards her.
"Yeah" she says.
I see her cheeks turn red as I help her get back up.
"What were you doing?" I wonder aloud.
"Oh, uh- nothing" she says blushing deeply.
"Reeeeally?" I say persistently
"Ok, ok, I was trying to grab something and I leaned too far and then I fell." She said while looking at her hands which were in her lap, a little embarrassed.
I crack a smile. She's so cute sometimes.
Cute... where'd that come from. I think as a heat rushes to my face.
"You can ask me if you need anything, okay?" I offer.
I wonder what it was that she was trying to grab in the first place....
She smiles back and says "thanks, um but I thought you were gonna go home"
I just smile.
Then the girl I was talking to earlier came in.
She then yawns.
"Claudia!, hi" A sleepy Lizzie says
"Hey, baby sister" Claudia replies.
"Oh, that must be the Advil kicking in, I'll go, you two probably have some catching up to do " I remembered hearing the doctor telling her mother that she might get tired because of the Acetaminophen Advil they gave her.

Lizzie P.O.V
Okay truth, no I won't be telling Charlie I was trying to grab a tampon because well. I needed to go to the bathroom to change so why would I. Too stressful. Thank goodness Claud came in. I mean at least I can ask her to grab me one.
Period cramps fricken suck. Anyways at least that fake yawn got rid of him. It's like my brain stops working when he's around. I mean how can I be alive, healthy and functioning (which are Eve's requirements of me) when his dark brown hair falls over his green eyes like that.
*Sighs deeply* *Far away look in my eyes*
"You okay?" Claudia asks.
"Oh ya, I'm totally fine, totally" then I crack a smile, realizing she was still here.
A blush rises to my cheeks as I think about what I was thinking about.
"Um, I'm starving here, can you grab me a pizza and some soda or maybe a burger"
"Soda? Yeah no" She says half annoyed half laughing at me.
"Aw man, i'm still hungry though. So get me sooooomething"
"Since you got stabbed near your stomach and you haven't eaten actual food for nearly 3 days and you've been on IV for almost the entire time, they suggested that you eat in smaller and more nutritious portions, i'll just go get you a salad k?" she says smiling.
Speaking of stomach pain.... right!
"Hey, wait Claud, can you grab me a tampon and help me outta this bed,"
"Ooooooh, so that's why you didn't ask him for help" I laughed a little but winced immediately feeling pain shoot up my side again so that was a bad idea.
She helped me out and then when I got back I told her.
"I'm gonna watch some T.V if there's anything good to watch here" I turn on the T.V lucky the remote is near me and I don't have to worry about falling again.
I switch to a channel and holy crap.
