My Crush's Bestfriend ✔️

Chapter 26 : Stargazing

☆~Jace Parker~☆

The pillows started to shake which ruined my peaceful nap and I groaned, opening my eyes slowly. I instantly cringed when my eyes saw the familiar white walls and the white marble floor tiles.

Someone was stroking my hair until I moved my head a little to look up who it was.

Jessica?

She grinned coyly as she slowly took her hand off of my hair and when I realized I was sleeping on her lap for the whole time I quickly got up and faced her properly, running my fingers through my messy hair. I didn't know when I drifted off as I could only remember I got back to hospital after dropping nanny home.

"Sorry if I woke you up. I actually wanna use.. restroom right now." she mumbled and I chuckled lightly, rubbing my eyes.

"Oh, do you want me to show where it is?" I asked and she shook her head, standing up.

"No. I can manage." and before I could reply, she almost ran towards the direction of the restroom.

Aw, my funny blonde.

I took my phone out of the pocket and unlocked it before glancing at the time which read 22 : 36. I sighed when I observed my surroundings and noticed once in a while, some nurses would be passing the hallway but no one except me, was sitting out here.

Right now I just wanted everything to be back to normal. Every-fucking-thing.

I stood up and looked at Georgia through the small glass window which was fixed on the ICU door. She was sleeping with a blank expression on her face while Alex was sitting on the stool and holding her hand but I guess, he fell asleep too as his head was rested on the edge of the bed.

Maybe this fellow is not so bad as I thought.

Dear God, I wanted to say only one thing; I knew that I didn't deserve anyone. But if this boy liked my sister, then please don't make her kick the bucket so soon. Please.

Suddenly my phone buzzed, snapping me out of my trance and I glanced it and noticed that I got a new text message from Tash. I unlocked it and read her text.

Why aren't you answering my calls?

It was because my phone had been switched off for the whole time. But instead of replying to her text, I opened the gallery and scrolled up till I found her picture. My hands started to tremble a little when I touched the photo of hers.

She was holding me and the newborn Georgia tightly in her arms like her life depended on us and she was flashing a wide toothy grin while Georgia was frowning and I was making a fake moustache with her long strand of strawberry blonde hair.

It was a rarest picture of mom where she was actually smiling. I really miss her smile.

"It's not true, dear. Trust me." mom pleaded while I was shooting daggers at her.

"I won't. I hate you. So so so much." I spat at her. "Hope you'd leave this house before my birthday comes. I don't want my friends to meet you. Even I'd be glad if you leave this world too."

She was still sitting on the floor with her head hung low and her shoulders were shaking but she didn't reply anything other than sobbing inaudibly.

I couldn't believe how immature I was at the age of eleven.

"Is this your mom?" I heard a familiar voice which brought me back to reality and I looked at Jessica who was staring at my phone screen with an awe expression. I quickly turned it off which made her frown and look up at me.
