My Roommate, My Enemy (BXB) On Hold

Chapter Eight (Edited)

***********************

Words can't even describe how I feel right now....... I can't believe that happened to me....... I almost died...... And the person I ignored and avoided is the only one who came to my rescue.

I almost lost it all..... He almost lost it all just for me... I owe him everything..... He saved my life. When I heard him call out for me while the waves tried to take my life violently, I held on becuase he was there. I was not out there by myself. He was someone I was depending on. I have not had someone I could rely on since my father's death.

I have had no one, but he came to me with no incentive.

It is so scary how everything almost ended. God helped him find me. When that wave separated us, I thought it was my end. I could not keep my head above the water; every time I managed, I would get slammed with more water. I was desperately trying to find Sebastian so he could save me. It was hard to keep my head above the water..... I swallowed so much water. Everything went silent after a while...... and I wasn't meeting my maker.

I was so scared; everything was burning, and I continued to swallow the water as my body started to sink. The next thing I know, I hear Sebastian and can faintly feel him beating on my chest, telling me to wake up with so much hurt in his voice.

It was not my time. He kept me here, and he brought Sebastian to me.

I never thought of a day he would display that emotion. He did risk his life for mine. He was the only thing I could see and hear when I woke up. He was all that mattered; he was my savior. When he looked at me with his eyes, I could see everything he was feeling momentarily. All I could do was cry. I do owe him.

I don't regret everything, but I hate that I stoop to that level now; I have been so shitty to him without even knowing his situation. But he did the same to me. I'm so conflicted.

" Mr. Moore...... Mr. Moore:" I turn on the hospital bed to see the nurse by the door walking in.

"Sorry," I say, scratching the back of my neck.

" It is quite alright. What you have gone through today is quite traumatizing, but you are getting back on track. You will be able to leave tonight, as everything looks fine. We want you to be on the IV a bit longer to get your fluids back up," she says, smiling at me and quickly checking my vitals.

"Thanks, I appreciate it. So, how much will the bill be?" I say, frowning as I realize it is a private room.

"No problem. Mr. Moore and I do not handle billing, so make sure you go to the front desk before you leave to get all your information. Also, your best friend is in the presidential suite getting his check. He seems to be suitable for the most part, as well.

He is one hell of a friend to go out there to save you. Many lives have been taken at the beach becuase of how harsh the waves and currents can be. I am glad you guys made it," She says, smiling as she exits the room.

I just turned on my back and covered my forearm, crying everything out. I thought I was alone, but I guess I am not alone. Maybe we could be friends and try again. He is dependable.
Uncovering my face, I look around the empty hospital room and Imagine my dad sitting next to me, holding my hand, telling me everything is alright and that God has a fantastic plan for my life. At the thought, I could only smile as a tear escaped.

After a while, the nurse returned, removed the IV from my arm, and told me I was free to go.

I quickly get up, still feeling a little weak. I go to the bathroom, and as I enter, I quickly change out of the hospital gown to gym shorts and a T-shirt. Going to the sink, I splashed my face with water, thanking God that God could see my reflection again. Leaving the room, I head to the front desk for the bill.
