How I Learned to Love Myself{DISCONTINUED}

MOVING!

*~* Flashback*~*

"OI! TYRE! Here's another one!" Doctor Moore yells. Great. I run over to the man's room. The patient's name was James... James Thomas Hooper. So... this would be my patient for the next couple of hours. Great. I start changing his IV, and his eyes flutter open.

"Am I dead?" he asks. I feel bad for him. He was called in for trying to hang himself.

"Far from it, Love." I state sadly. "Do you remember what happened?" I ask, carefully. This was thin ice, if he relapses in my care.

"I got in a fight with my mum... and then... I just didn't wanna feel anything." He explains.

"What were you fighting about?" I ask, but quickly adding, "If you don't mind me asking!"

"It's fine. It was about my boyfriend. She's very religious, you know. And... well... she found out that I was gay." He sheds more light.

"Well... When you get out of here, ring me up, yeah?" I say, handing over a piece of paper after putting me number on it. "I would hate to see you end up here again."

*~*End of Flashback*~*

I wake up. I remember vividly how I met James. I was happy after that. To have a good friend. I look over to my left, to find Tony gone. I pull myself up, and end up just sitting there. Like usual... when I lost that other patient. Except now, I was grinning at my right hand, like an idiot. I can't believe this is real...

Tony walks in the room, closing the door behind him.

"Well this is a pleasant surprise!" He says happily. Tone was obviously talking about the fact I was smiling. I look up at him.

"I need to call Mama Tyre!" I exclaim, getting up and dressing(SEL). Tony and Mama Tyre had met before. She came to my house when the hospital told her that I was working like a drone. She found Tony in the kitchen making me lunch, even though, it was rare that I would actually eat. Instead of worrying on his ample tattoos and piercings, she commented on the braid. Like I predicted.

Typical Mama Tyre.

Of course, like Tony, and James, she couldn't shake me out of the grief and guilt. They talked for awhile, and kept up after that. We'd probably call her over today. 

Tone nods in response, bending over, and kissing me. I kiss back, and we just kiss for a while. I break apart when I hear James cough.

"Honestly, I love you guys getting together, and Kai, congrats on being happier, but please..." I turn and give James a mock glare.

"I wasn't the one who walked in on a couple having engagement sex." His eyes go wide.

"You're telling Mama Tyre, right?!"

"Of course! Speaking of, I need to call her."

*~*1 Hour later*~*

Mama Tyre walks in the house, as James, Tone and I are in the living room.

"You called?" She asks. I reach for Tony's hand.

"Mama, we have something to tell you." I motion between Tone and I.

"Oh god, are you pregnant?!" She asks worriedly.

"Um... no."

"Thank god!" She praises. "So, what's the news?"

"Tony proposed to me last night and I said yes." Her eyes glaze over.

"Oh, Kai! That's wonderful! My granddaughter is growing up!" She exclaims. "I remember when your father had the news. Papa was so proud. Your mommy's daddy didn't take it too well, but they adjusted. Mr. Perry, you better treat her right." She warns my fiance. God, it felt so good to say that!
