My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 41

Hermione

I was laying in bed watching an old rerun of That '70s Show. To say I was uncomfortable was an understatement. The room was cold and smelled of cleaners and disinfectant. Every time I was sleeping good a nurse would come in asking if I was okay or needed anything. I slowly felt my eyes getting heavy and fell asleep again for the third time today. Halfway through my little nap I heard the door slowly creek open and whispers but I never opened my eyes. "How is she?" The voice asked. "She's gonna be here til the doctors think she's okay. She lost a large amount of blood in a very short period of time. She's lucky you got her here in time." A woman spoke up. "Can I stay with her?" Oscar's voice begged quietly. "Of course. I'll be at the nurses station if she needs anything." With that I heard another creek and the sound of air rushing out of a cushion.

He held my hand as I fell back asleep. When I woke up again I heard sniffling and praying. I peeked my eye open and seen Oscar with tears running down his face holding my hand. He looked completely defeated. "I know your asleep right now but I want you to know I'm sorry. I never meant to make you feel this way. I never meant to hurt you. If I'm being honest, your my best friend, and someone I truly love. I just want you to be happy and safe. If Tito can give you that happiness then I'm okay with it. I'm sorry I let my cholo pride get in the way of the bigger picture. I love you Hermione." Oscar whispered softly and kissed my hand. He stood up and left the room talking about a snack to himself.

I laid here for a while now thinking about his words before Tito walked in. "I know your not asleep. You don't have to play opossum with me." He chuckled before sitting down and grabbing my hand. I opened my eyes looking over at him. "How long have I been here?" I asked looking around. "Two days. Oscar doesn't really leave unless it's to shower and take Tez to school." I nodded as he smiled at me. "How are you feeling?" I shrugged. "I don't really know. Oscar came in here and told me everything but he only said something because he though I was asleep. I don't think he'll ever come out with it." Tito shrugged. "I mean at least you were awake to hear it, that's all that really matters right?" I nodded. "He told me he just wanted me to be happy. I don't know what I really want. I mean I really like both of you." Tito shook his head with a small smile.

"You don't really like me Mione. You just like the attention I give you. I'm not calling you an attention whore before you even go there with that bullshit. So I'm gonna make it easy for you okay. You go be with Oscar and I'm gonna go be with Angel. I'll still be here if you need to talk but, give him a chance. Try to be happy and if your not then we can have our time." He stood up grabbing my hand and kissing my lips one last time before leaving the room. Maybe he's right. I mean he was there every time Oscar couldn't be but I never looked at him that way til he kissed me in the school parking lot. Maybe I never really gave Oscar a chance because I was so worried about him actually wanting to be with me. That man was showing me love since the moment I walked into his life. Why the hell would I want attention from anyone else but Oscar?

Soon enough the man of the hour walked back into the room with a honeybun shoved into his mouth and a hand full of coffee. I found myself giggling at his antics. "You look so cute with that honeybun lodged in your mouth like it's the last meal you'll ever have." Oscar's head shot up at my voice and he dropped his drink and food on the counter in the corner trying to swallow the large bit he took. "Y-your awake!" He all but yelled after he swallowed. I nodded with a small smile. "I've been awake. The whole time you were here I was awake, just resting my eyes is all." His eyes grew big and he looked nervous. "So you heard what I had to say?" He asked nervously. I nodded with a slight smile. "And I made a decision." He looked like he was going to pass out. "I don't want to rush you. Take your time Mione." I shook my head and held my hand out for him.

I pulled him into the bed to lay with me. "Oscar it's always been you. I just got sidetracked for a split second. I'm sorry about all that with Tito. I shouldn't have done that to you. That's your best friend in the whole world and I don't want you two fighting over me. He's you mano there's no since in the childish games and bullshit. I choose you because it's always been you. I didn't actually need time to think. I just thought I did. I'm so sorry. I love you Oscar, you and only you." I kissed his lips for a long time before pulling away and looking into his big beautiful brown eyes. "Oscar, te quiero más que a la luna le encantan las estrellas." I whispered in his ear softly. "Te quiero más de lo que al sol le encanta el cielo azul." He whispered back.

After another night in the hospital I was able to come home with a lot of instructions about my head and the stitches. Oscar and I walked through the front door of our house and it felt so good to be home. Looking around I noticed so many new things. Throw blankets, some couch pillows, a rug, and pictures hung on the walls. "Feel like home now?" He asked me as I stood in the living room looking around. "Yes it do... Oscar Cortez Díaz! Im gonna kick your ass!" I yelled looking at the pictures of me from the car show hanging on his wall. "What the hell is that doing in here? Los Santos will see it and think I look stupid!" I yelled running up to his retreating form and jumping on his back pushing him out the front door. I put him in a headlock. As I locked it in I heard cheering and clapping. "Beat his ass Mione!" Looking around all of Los Santos was now chilling on the lawn watching me take down their leader with a smile.
