Light at the end of the tunnel

Chases POV:
Charlis been acting weird. Like she's hiding something. I'm honestly not even gonna ask. Do I even want to know?
Probably not.

The surgery went well. I'm not in too much pain right now, I think it's because I'm on a lot of drugs. But they're making me stay at the hospital for another night just to make sure nothing bad happens.

I think she's mad I thought she was Delilah-? I don't know. I hope she isn't mad about that because it was not my fault. I have absolutely no recollection of that. I must have fallen asleep again after I woke up and did that- and when I woke up I was back to normal. It wasn't my fault. I didn't know what was happening, I can understand why she'd be upset but she can't be upset at me

Charli: "can we go home. I hate being here"

I can't go home yet

Chase: "I like being here"

It's nice

Charli: "why??"
Chase: "reminds me of when I fell in love with you"

I wrapped an arm around her

Charli: "aw. Unfortunately this reminds me of when I wanted to die"

Oh.

I do remember that.

Yeah now that I think about this place has pretty bad memories too.

Most days I had to convince her to stay alive and it wasn't just terrible for her, it was terrible for me too. Having to find reasons for her just to keep living, I felt like if I left at any point in those times where she got like that, I'd be responsible for her death. It was a lot of pressure on me.

Charli: "but I did have good memories here too. Like remember that time you beat the shit out of Ivan for talking shit about me?"

I laughed

Chase: "I do remember that. And then after that he forgave me so easily"
Charli: "how did no one know we liked each other. It was so obvious"

It was very obvious.

Chase: "remember when Ivan proposed to you? I was so mad oh my god."

She laughed and nodded

Charli: "and then we told ourselves we'd stop whatever we were doing but of course we never did"
Chase: "good days."

She shook her head

Charli: "bad days."

Hayley rolled into the room on her wheelchair

Charli: "oh my god Hayley! How are you feeling"

She forgot she was in surgery too didn't she.

Hayley: "oh I'm feeling great with my new lung! I feel like I can run a marathon"

My new lungs feel like they've shrunk

Charli: "that's great!"

I'm glad this transplant worked

Hayley: "I actually had something important to ask you guys and I feel really bad about it especially after everything you've done for me already- and feel free to say no- I could find other options if I have to"

What is it

Charli: "go for it"
Hayley: "could I stay at your place... just for a little bit. I don't have a place here yet. I've been staying at the hospital for this whole time. And I kinda just want a place to stay other than the hospital- but I completely understand if you don't want to. I can find another place"
