We were all waiting in Oli's hospital room when he woke up five hours later. "Oli!" I said as soon as he opened his eyes and I gave him a huge hug. "Hey you ok?" Joe said quietly. "Yeah..." He responded. "You should get some sleep." The doctor said when he entered the room. "You'll be good to go tomorrow afternoon." "You guys go." I said to Caspar and Joe. "I'm gonna stay here for a while." They left leaving me and Oli alone. "I'm sorry..." I said feeling the need to apologize for his situation. "No don't be." A tear accidentally slipped out. He wiped it off keeping his hand on my cheek. We stared into each other's eyes. I leaned forward and we started kissing. I sat on his laps my legs around his waist and my arms wrapped around his neck with my fingers playing in his hair. "Owowow" "Are you Ok baby?" I quickly moved to give him some space. "Yeah it hurts."
We talked for the rest of the night about all and nothing, about how worried I was, about how I was moving to London in a few days and we laughed a lot too and of course some times we would start making out until I fell asleep on the hospital chair.
The nurse woke me up the next day and told me to go wait in the waiting room. She said he would be good to go in a hour or so. They had to give him pain killers and fix his bandages.
An hour later, Oli came out of the hospital room wearing a new white t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants the nurse probably lend him. He also had this big thing wrapped around his shoulder. "You feeling alright?" I asked him. "Yeah the pain killers are doing a good job." I laughed. With all that was going on I had completely forgot about the fact that I kissed Joe. In the cab, Oli was sitting in the front and I was sitting in the back so I texted Joe about last night:
Me: did you tell Caspar?
Joe: No I didn't...
Me: Joe... I never thought of you that way. You understand the situation right? Are you and Oli good?
Joe: Yeah...
Me: sorry... I missed our friendship 😀
I was really embarrassed and I didn't know if I had to tell Oli. Technically we weren't a couple right?!
We were sitting on the couch watching Netflix in the hotel room. "Heey Oli..." I said. "Yeah. You ok?" "I have something really important to tell you" I was ready to tell him but was scared as hell. "When you were in the hospital Joe and I decided to walk around a bit... And we kissed." Tears were running down my face. "Maybe this was a mistake" he said. "I swear I told him right away! I told him that I really liked you!" I was so stupid, how could I kiss someone else. "You should go." He had this frustrated look on his face. "But..." "No I'm pretty sure you should go!"
I started packing my bags. I wanted to leave as soon as possible and catch the next bus to LA. I was so embarrassed how could I even do that? I checked out of the hotel and left.
It took approximately an hour and a half to get to LA. Once I got there I received a text from Caspar:We need to talk. Meet me at the coffee shop near your hotel. I responded: Not in Anaheim anymore. Sorry.
