Nothing Lasts Forever.. PS: Nothing = Love!

Chapter 11: no BEEPS please..

Moirai’s POV:

He was here.

Leo.

I understood how Mom-Dad found me. But how did Leo find me?

He was wearing a plain light blue t-shirt and dark blue jeans. His face was calm but I could see he was tensed. He clenched his fists and I could not help but notice those strong green veins on his muscular arm. His stubble had grown, clearly he hadn’t shaved yet. That looked exceptionally breathtaking on his perfect face. His melt-in-the-mouth-chocolate eyes had gotten darker since the last time I had seen him. They were Dark-Chocolate eyes now (God knows! How much I like Chocolate!)

And a sudden feeling of awkwardness took over when my Mom’s intentional coughing brought me back to reality. She had seen me staring at this gorgeously shaped, handsome young man! Mom got up to leave and gave me an I-want-to-know-everything-later look.

“Mom, You, umm, don’t have to leave”, I said with a weak voice. Though I wanted her to go and be alone with him but at the same time the mere thought of being alone with him got shrills down my spine.

Why is he here anyways?

“For you, stupid”, I told myself.

My mom left the room, ignoring me completely.

He came closer to my bed. I was wearing the loose and dirty looking hospital robe. My left hand was covered in bandages. My hair looked messy. That all added to my ugliness.

He sat on the chair next to my bed which my mom had occupied before.

“How are you?”, he asked.

“How do I look I am?”, I mocked showing my left hand.

He smirked.

Awwww. I made him smile. I am so awesome! It was my Oh-I-am-so-Funny moment!

“You look beautiful, as always. You are just covered with these bandages temporarily”, he completed pointing towards my broken hand.

Beautiful ?! He certainly has some problem in his dark-chocolate eyes. I looked... umm, what do I say... yes! S-C-A-R-Y.

“How did you come here? And why? How did you find where I was?”, I asked.

“First. I came here on my bike that is parked outside. Second. I am here to see you. Third. I called on your number this morning when I heard your mom cry. I thought you were crying at first, but then your mom introduced herself and told me you met with an accident last night. I asked where you were. She gave me the address and I am here”, he said.

“Ohh, It would have been ok, if you had not come”, I said, immediately regretting having said that. I did not mean it the way it came out to be. I saw his facial expressions change. He looked hurt.

“I mean, you shouldn’t have taken pains to come here”, I corrected.

“When your mom told me about the accident, there was no way I would have stayed back. I just wanted to see you”, he said looking deep into my eyes. I blushed.

“I am fine”, I whispered breaking the eye contact.

He thinks I am beautiful.

He couldn’t stay back when he got to know about the accident.

He wanted to see me.

That was too much for my mind to keep me occupied for hours and hours. Why was he concerned about me so much? He had only met me once and he comes to see me at the hospital because he couldn’t stay back. Maybe be he wouldn’t have come if he knew ...

“Where is Shagun?”, he asked.

“Here”, I heard a her voice at the door.

“When did you come?”, I asked completely taken by surprise.

“Just now, when this beep-head asked about me”, she gapped. Shags would say beep when she wanted to say some bad word. And with the word frame it was dick this time. Leo looked amused with the use of beep. But, he did not respond. He did not deserve swearing when he did not do anything wrong to me or to Shags.

“Shags Please”, I squealed. Leo smirked at me. I saw his eyes change to melt-in-the-mouth shade again. And by now, Shags was red with anger.

“Can you get out Mr.beep-head! I want to talk to my best friend”, she said with authority, emphasising on the word ‘my’.

“Shags, stop calling him that! He has a name. Call him Leo”, I shouted getting irritated.

“You scream at me for this Beep-head! I don’t blame you, he is just gotten in your system. I blame him!”, she shouted back.

Now this was enough! Why did she have to call him dickhead in every sentence?

“Didn’t she tell you to stop calling me that?”, he said controlling his laughter.

Seeing him struggle controlling his laughter, I could not control mine. I broke into laughter. And Leo joined me almost immediately.

Shags looked like the angry Bull. Smoke coming out from her nostrils and ears. It wasn’t Leo’s fault this time. It was Shags’s.

We were still laughing. My stomach hurt but I couldn’t stop laughing. My head started spinning now. Vision got blur. What is happening to me? And it was all black again.

My head hurt when I opened my eyes. I saw my right hand, a syringe was inserted in my vein and that syringe was attached to a very tiny pipe that was connected to a glucose bottle. It burned when every drop of glucose entered my system. I noticed there was a wall clock hanged on the wall to the right side of my bed. it was nearly 7. On the couch, I saw my dad fast asleep. He had change into his track pants and sweat shirt. He looked adorable and innocent when he was sleeping. Door opened and the nurse entered the room. Dad woke up with that tiny thud made by the door. He saw me and came to me, “How are you?”, he asked sleepishly.

“I am fine”, I repeated. And I remembered I had said I was fine when Leo said he couldn’t stay back because he wanted to see me. And then reality dawned onto me. I remember Shags was here in my room. Where was she now? Where is Leo?

“I found the driver of the cab you were in”, he said softly.

I wanted to know what had hit the cab. I wanted to know all about the accident.

“From the Cab’s no plate it was easy to find the driver. He said he was driving ...
