Is It Love Or Is it a dream

Chapter 3

------------------
Stampy's POV
------------------

I called 911. There was blood everywhere. Amy was crying and wrapping Lee's arm. Sqaishey was freaking out. It was nice to see she worried about Lee even though she just met. Squid was cleaning up the blood off the carpet. Netty grabbed the blade and threw it out.

The ambulance arrived and put Lee on a stretcher. We got in a car and followed behind the ambulance. We were all cramped in the car. Well only the backseat which was Squid, Netty, and Amy. Sqaishey and I were sitting in the front seat.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. Amy and Netty were crying. We walked in and asked for his room number. The lady at the front desk said he was on the second floor room 185. She said there is no visitors right now, but there will be in two hours.

We all piled in the car again and went home for a little bit. It was an awkward silence. I called in pizza because I can't cook. The pizza arrived and we dug in. It was so good. It was still warm. We ate and just watched Netflix.

I glanced over at Sqaishey. She looked so perfect. I needed to ask her out but how. Now wasn't even the best time. Lee was in the hospital and dealing with the law. Someday I will get the guts to ask her out.

Sqaishey's POV
---------------------

I was worried about Lee even though I just met him. I caught Stampy looking at me. He didn't notice. He must've been daydreaming. He was so cute. Something felt weird, but I didn't know what. It felt like I heard a familiar voice in my head. I couldn't tell who and I couldn't tell what they were trying to say. I decided to try and ignore it.

A few hours passed so we all piled in the car. Stampy drove us all to the hospital. We go up to Lee's room. He was awake watching TV. We knock on the wall and walked in. He looked over at us. He just looked at us with blank eyes. I think he was thinking like *why did you come back, I'm worthless*.

"hey Lee, how are you doing"? Stampy asked.

Lee just shrugged his shoulders. I could tell he didn't really want to talk to anyone.

"Lee why would you do that to us"? Amy asked.

"I don't belong in this world. My own family hates me. That says a lot right there. I just wanted to leave". Lee said.

"Lee your family is doesn't hate you they're just mad at you. They still love you deep down". Squid said.

I know I just met Lee, but I walked up to him and held his hand. I looked straight in to his eyes. I whispered *It will all be alright*. He smiled at me. I smiled back at him.

"Lee, the nurse said you can come home tomorrow". Stampy said.

"Ok, Stamps I better get back to Scotland and pay my time. I know what I did was wrong so I deserve to go and pay my time because I still have hope".

We all started smiling at him. We were proud that he was going back to face his family. We all started yawning because it was getting late. It was almost 11:30 at night. We say our goodbyes and start to head home.

Squid's POV
----------------

We get back to Stamp's house. We all get into our pajamas and crawl in bed. It felt weird not having Lee in the room with me. Finally I close my eyes and go to sleep.

I wake the next morning. I look over at the clock. It said 8:45 a.m. I crawl out of bed and see that Amy was the only other one up.

"Morning Amy". I said.

"Good morning Squid. Do you want breakfast"? She asked.

"Yes please, what are you going to make".

"I'm going to make egg omelets with a side of bacon".

"Sounds yummy".

I go to sit on the couch and then I heard my phone go off. I got a text from Nicole.

Hey babe I was just wondering when you were coming home again. I was going to prepare a welcome home supper for you.~ Nicole

I am coming home tomorrow. I can't wait to see you again. I was supposed to come home today, but Lee went to the hospital yesterday and he is getting released today. I just wanted to make sure he was ok.~ Me

Ok see you tomorrow, you will have to tell me what happened to Lee when you get home :O ~ Nicole

Ok bye love you <3 ~ Me

I turn off my phone and walk back to the kitchen. I see everyone sitting at the table. Amy was serving them egg omelets. She served me one. The first bite was amazing. It was so delicious. I was so amazed. YUM!! The bacon was good as well. We all just talked about Lee. We were all happy he was going home, but we were also worried he would fall into depression.

We all finished and Sqaishey took our plates. She started doing the dishes. I really liked her. She was super nice. I'm glad Stampy introduced her to us. I could tell he really liked her. Like REALLY liked her. I could tell he wanted to ask her out.

Thinking of all this love made me think of Nicole. I missed her so much. That's why I hated traveling without her. I still loved it though.

I jump in the shower because I needed one. I start singing. I heard someone walk by. 

"Nice singing Squid". Netty said.

She was laughing as she walked away. I was a little embarrassed. I get out of the shower and dry off with a towel. I get dressed and walk out the door... simple. I wore my Squid shirt. I also wore some of my shorts and sneakers.  

 We all get into the car and drive to the hospital. We ask if we can visit Lee Carson.

"I'm sorry Mr. Carson already left".

We all were shocked. He already left. How? When? Just WHAT?!?
