The only one

Chapter 13

He left me stuck in a room with my mom, but it wasn't his fault, if he had stayed, my mom would have actually reported him and he would have gotten in deep trouble.

I clicked the button on my bed silently while my mom was facing the other direction, distracted by the "strange boy" that just left. The button was there to help me communicate with the nurses and doctors, in case of an emergency.

This was an emergency.

Over the past few... however long I have been here, I have gotten very close to one of the nurses. She would act as a friend to me, she made me feel more comfortable and welcomed.

I remember on the first day, she was talking to me about Marcus and how she thought he liked me, but I shook my head, and she changed the subject. I smiled at her attempt to cheer me up, I guess it kind of worked.

I didn't think Marcus could like me. He's has such a...beautiful personality. I know boys weren't supposed to be, but he somehow was. He seemed like he would be pretty high up in the ranking at school, but not one of the students who make fun of other for their own pleasure. Plus their were rumors about him doing horrendous things, not bad to others but things that were terrible to do in general. He was said to be a player, and I have had enough in my life to deal with.

The nurse came in no longer than a minutes after I called her. As she strolled into the room she spoke.

"What do you need sweet-" she stopped once she was in the room, noticing that there was someone new.

"Is this your mom?" She asked smiling at her, holding out her hand expecting a handshake.

My mother politely shook her hand and introduced herself. Then she began making a bunch of stuff up so she could stay. I bit my tongue, trying not to laugh at the ridiculous things she was saying.

I had told her that my mother and I didn't get along well. While we were talking, she said she would do whatever she could to help. So her promise was fulfilled.

I had nothing to do.

I couldn't speak to nurse Daniella with my mom around, and my mom wouldn't do anything with anyone watching.

I decided to check my phone.

The truth was, I wasn't over Robert, I wanted him to like me, I could see it working out. Maybe he texted me or called me to apologize. I turned on my iPhone taping on the screen as if that would make it turn on faster.

Finally it turned on.

I set my phone aside, giving it a minute to refresh, because it'll take a while for the notifications to show up if I had it off.

My phone was on silent, so I didn't notice when my phone began to blow up with texts. At first I was excited, this doesn't happen too often, usually on my birthday from family, but that was usually it.

Then I began to read them, each one making my smile fade a little bit more, until I was way past a frown.

I was angry, upset, and frustrated.

I didn't have any of these people in my contacts but I was clear that all of them were all Robert's friends.

"U srsly thought u were good enough for him?"

"Lol u thought it was real"

"UR so stupid"

I pressed my lips together, trying not to have any reaction. I don't know why I liked him in the first place. He wasn't nice to me, and he barely talked to me.

Then why do I still like him?

There is nothing to like about him, and if he asked me out, I would (probably) say no. I guess I just want him to like me.

I was about to flip my phone facedown, but I saw another message appear. I new that it would probably make me be even more upset. But the text said

"Hey it's me, I'm sorry for leaving"

I smiled at the text, then I caught myself, so I wiped the grin off my face before my mom could see. If she did see, she would ask who it was, and whatever the answer was, she would still take it away.

I quickly typed back

"Hey it's okay"

I didn't know what else I was supposed to say. So I added the thumbs up emoji.

Ugh.

Why did I even do that. Whatever, I already sent it. It's too late to change it.

"Okay so I can't really come tomorrow, so text me when ur mom leaves and we can talk, because this is really upsetting me"

"Okayyyyy?" I replied

"Okay." he answered.

I freaked out like oh my goodness he did the fault in our starts thing with me!

The smile stayed on my face all day.
