    YOU ARE PRETTY. INSIDE OUT :)

I woke up and saw the white ceiling. The same thing to my right, opposite, but one thing extra.

There was a person sitting, more like a guy, more like him, more like my bubs.

He glared at me.

I smiled back at him.

"Bubs, Hug?" I asked and made grabby hands.

"Shut up"

I let my hands fall. It was silent for a minute until he hugged me. My bed was in the half-up position. So while hugging me he was sitting on the bed.

"I missed you bubs," I said truthfully.

He didn't say anything. I felt something wet fall on my hospital gown.

"Oii, bubs don't cry. I can't comfort people. And why are you crying when I'm not?" I said and stroked his back.

"You are my comfort," he whispered.

I resembled a tomato now. Avaha tomato.

We remained in the same position for I don't know how long, but when he broke away from the hug, he ran outside.

What in heaven's was that? Should someone runoff after a hug? I don't think so.

He entered after a minute with a doctor.

"Treat her. She's awake" he ordered the doctor.

"Calm down, Mr.Araztimuño" the doctor chuckled.

One glare from Mr.Araztimuño and he zipped it.

"How are you feeling, Miss Campbell? Are you hurt somewhere?" the doctor inquired.

"Just a bit tired and no, I'm not hurt" I smiled at him.

"Once we get the blood test we'll be sure of the problem and we also need to do a urine test, so we'll need a sample. Once the results are ready, we'll give you the proper nutrients and the recovery will be based on you. Any questions?" He asked.

"No," Bubs said and left the room with the doctor.

Hello, I'm the one here with a problem. I need to know what's wrong with me.

After some time he came in.

"For how long have you not been eating well Avha?" He sat on the sofa chair. No amount of emotion on his face.

I didn't reply.

He sighed and sat on the bed. His hand cupped my face.

"Love, you've to answer me. I don't want to see you getting ill. If you're worried about the bill, don't be. I'm taking care of it. The priority here is your health, not money. You get it?" he said softly.

Swoon.

I nodded.

"Now tell me. Why weren't you having proper meals?" he asked again. Sincerely this time.

"I don't have enough money to buy one" I was ashamed and embarrassed by myself. I told him truthfully. The worst was me being in the hospital, him taking care of me, at least he deserved the truth.

"Oh, my amor meus" I only know English, Mr. Duolingo.

"The doctor said it's 'Refeeding syndrome'. That is when a person who has been starved or is malnourished is given a lot of food to eat. The body can't handle the imbalance and shows symptoms. There are a lot of other reasons and symptoms too. They've started the treatment and said it'll take some time. There can be severe other symptoms too in the future, so we need to take care. We need to fight it. Together" he answered.

"Together" I announced.

"Will I die?" I asked cheekily.

That would be fun. No bills. No problems.

Me with angels in the heaven or devils in the hell... hehe

He didn't say anything. It was silent.
