I Swear It All Over Again (Book 1)

Chapter 42

~◆~Henrys pov~◆~

"What time is it?" I ask the nurse as she's writing something down on a piece of paper and hands me a glass of water.

"Four." She replies as I grab the glass and start to drink it. I turn the TV channel to the news, hoping nothing bad has happened to Annabel. I don't want anything else bad to happen to Annabel. I never want something bad to happen to her.

The weather comes on and is talking about how it's suppose to snow today. It's already December 1st and I can't wait until Christmas. I'm hoping that I will come home before Christmas happens.

"Okay, I'll be back in a little bit." I nod as she walks out of the room and I lay my head back on the pillows.

I'm kind of mad that my parents came in that one time when Annabel was just about to tell me that she likes me. I know that we both like each other but every single time were about to tell each other, something or somebody comes in and we can't.

We want it to be a private conversation.

When I get out of the hospital the first thing I'm going to do is tell Annabel how I feel and ask her out on a date.

I've been waiting forever to do that and I'm going to do it, even if it means dragging her out to the middle of no where.

"Henry?" I hear someone say my name. I turn my head and see Annabel standing in the doorway with red eyes.

"Annabel what happened?" I ask.

"Can I hug you?" She asked almost breaking into tears again. I nod and she runs over to me, wrapping her arms around my neck, and laying her forehead on my chest.

"What's wrong?" I whisper to her as Ray walks in by the doorway.

"Nothing I just missed you when I was at school." Annabel says as I rub her back and Ray stands in the doorway, worried and confused.

"I've missed you too." I whisper as she breaks the hug and wipes her tears away and sitting in the chair next to me.

"When are you getting out?" She asked and I shrug. She sighs before blurting out . "I need you at school there's so much going on and I can't take it."

"Like what?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"Mortikiy just broke up with his girlfriend who hates me. Ashley wants to get revenge on me even though I didn't do anything to her. Chloe and Scarlet are probably thinking that Mortikiy and I would make a cute couple. I'm sick and tired of it," Annabel says and I notice how Ray stiffened up still standing by the doorway, "Henry do you know a girl named, Ashley Davis? Long curly blonde hair and blue eyes, really mean?" She wipes her face clean of all the tears that came out of her eyes.

I sat up straight and nodded. Ashley and I use to date but I broke up with her because she kept telling me who I can and can not hang out with. It got really annoying, then she started to talk about how weird it is that Jasper likes buckets. Then how Charlotte was too smart, so I broke up with her and now we don't get along with each other.

"Um yeah we use to date but I broke up with her." I say.

"Because of me?" She asked and I shake my head.

"No, Annabel I broke up with her because she was telling me who I can and can't hang out with and she made fun of Jasper and Charlotte." I say as she shakes her head.

"Ashley told me that you broke up with her because of me." Annabel says and I saw Ray glare at me.

"Annabel she's lying. I didn't break up with her because of you." She nods.
