If I Loved You Properly

Hospital Friend

Basil was in a normal hospital room, white walls and white flooring, a single window. There was also a table next to him, which soon got "get well soon" notes from his friends. He always wondered if they actually cared about them, and they did. Except...there was a strange one. Basil awoke and looked around the room, before smiling slightly at them. He felt weak and a bit tired; he always woke up jolting...He grabbed a note, and read it. 

Dear Basil, even if you don't remember me, I'm Mei. I heard from Aubrey that you were in the hospital, so I went to visit you. Even if you're awake, you might not remember me...But don't worry, I remember the cute little flower boy, that's you! Get well soon!

Basil looked shocked. He tried to remember who Mei was, but couldn't. He could only remember a girl 1 year younger than Aubrey, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a white dress, running around in Aubrey's house. He could see the girl in his head..."Mei..." Basil said quietly, but his eyes widened when the girl was running on the second floor, and then falls down the stairs. Her head bled, her body bruised...The fate Mari could have had...

Basil's thinking was interrupted when a girl with long black hair, brown eyes, wearing a white dress, black jacket, and black shoes walked in. She smiles, and walks over to Basil.

"Basil? How are you?" The girl said, putting her hand on Basil's. "I was so worried about you. I mean, I don't blame you for having a disease, but...How did this happen?" The girl said, with a worried and sad smile.

Basil looked at the girl, trying to figure how to say "Who are you?" and "Mei? I haven't seen you in so long!" Basil sighed. 

"Ever since childhood, I've always liked Sunny. Whenever I celebrated his birthday, I wanted him to be happy in life. Even if he met someone else, even if he stayed in touch in his new home, I wanted him to be happy. But now, all I can do is just throw up flowers. Flowers of doubt if he loves me." Basil said, before turning his face away. "You kinda helped me. Thanks a lot, Mei."

Mei was surprised Basil remembers her. Basil turned his head to look at her, before raising a eyebrow at her arm. It was bandaged, but not like a cast of some sort. He looked at the 15-year old, and said something in a cold but worried tone, as he grabbed her arm.

"What is this, Mei? A accident?" Mei smiled nervously. "Um...I need to go now. I have flute lessons to attend..." Mei got out of Basil's grip, and ran out the room. Basil was curious. Sunny came into the room, scared and trembling.

"B-Basil...P-p-please b-be okay..." He said quietly, walking over to Basil. "Basil, are you okay...?"

Basil nodded, before hugging Sunny. "I'll be fine." He smiled, as he hugged Sunny, who hugged him back.

Hey. It's me, wendori. I feel tired yet awake right now, that my brain told me to put my oc, Mei into the story.
