"Sounds painfully awkward."

Samantha laughed a bit, throwing the covers back over my legs. We did a few more leg exercises and just a little bit more walking practice and that's it. I sigh, leaning back in my pillow. I had to tell someone what happened and get their thoughts on it too, so who else to talk to than Samantha? It's been a while since I've had a girl-on-girl talk. "I don't know what to do." I confess in a sigh, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. Sam purses her lips as she gives Whiskers on the bed a few gentle pats. "How do you feel?" She asks.

"Huh?"

"About him."

"Oh."

I bite my inner lip. How do I feel about him? I mean, I don't have any type of feelings for him besides just friendship, right? Right. Besides, even if I did have any other type of feelings for him, what would Masky think? Better yet, why am I so worried about what Masky would think? Masky isn't here. He hasn't been here for days. I shouldn't worry. I shouldn't even be thinking about him at all. At this point, I've given up on him, really. I'm most likely no use to him anymore. My legs are weakened, I'm defenseless and just weak in general. No wonder he hasn't come back. "Earth to (Y/n)?" A tan hand waved in front of my view, making me snap out of my thoughts. I sheepishly smile, letting out a short giggle. "Sorry," I apologize, "I was just... thinking." Samantha hums at my response. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, how long has he been gone for?" She asks, fixing the collar of her shirt around her neck. He's been long for a long time now. He hasn't even come back to check on Whiskers, surprisingly. "About half an hour." I respond, frowning whilst staring at the clock. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings or anything like that. I mean, I didn't mean to push him, it was just a reflex! "Uh oh," Samantha clicks her tongue once, "that's bad news."

He can't keep running off like that. I mean, I already forgave him, didn't I? I feel Whiskers shift in the little dent he made in the covers between my legs. He lets out a big yawn, stretching out his little paws in front of him and showing off his sharp claws. "Well, maybe he's just embarrassed about this whole ordeal. Don't stress it too much, you did nothing wrong." Samantha reassuringly pats my thigh and smiles. I lightly laugh, "yeah, probably..." I smile. The bubbly nurse grins before clearing her throat. "I need to attend others, now. I'll see you in a few hours, 'kay?" Samantha titters, walking her way out the door. I quickly wave at her before she disappears out of the room. That was nice. It's nice to be able to tell your problems to someone. I relax my back onto the pillow behind me, shutting my eyes and letting out a sigh. I can't believe how much has happened these past couple of weeks. I got kidnapped, dragged into danger and have been suffering all the way through. And it all started with one simple person. I take a deep breath, re-opening my eyes before exhaling. I wish I never met him. I wish I never met Tim or Masky, or whatever. I wish I would've just stuck to my usual route. Sleep, work, eat, repeat. My life would be so much easier. I wouldn't have gotten into this mess in the first place if I just ignored him from the start. I started shaking even without noticing. Is it because I'm angry? Sad? Cold? I don't know, it could be all of those options. I suddenly heard the door creak open, making my hands shoot over to Whiskers, in case it was another nurse. Fortunately for me, I could safely expose Whiskers, since it was Liu who had entered the room, surprisingly. I felt relieved once I saw him enter, making me smile slightly. Though, my smile was quickly replaced by a frown once I noticed his expression. He looked oddly pale and his eyes held a nervous stare.

I hope it's not because of me. "Liu, where'd you g-" I barely finished my sentence when Liu grabbed Whiskers into his arms while he shook his backpack off his shoulders. Whiskers didn't even bother to struggle, of course, it was his owner after all. The small cat obliged as he got placed into the backpack. "I need to leave." Liu simply states, closing up his backpack before lightly pushing the strap back over his shoulder. Again? He just comes in out of nowhere without an explanation and leaves again? "Hey-- wait!-" I try to call out for him, but before I can say anything else, he's already out the door. I'm left speechless, dumbfounded and disappointed. The fact that he left and left no proper goodbye besides those four words made me dejected. No more Whiskers to keep my company and no more Liu nor Helen to watch over me. Would Liu come back tomorrow? He didn't say anything. I hope he comes back and doesn't leave me like Masky did. Damn it. Why do all these things have to happen to me? I should distract myself for the time being. Just to get my mind off of things.
