Savior ↛ Phan

Chapter 14- Greener On The Other Side

I'll put all of the translations in the comment sections so dw if you can't read French or Italian.

"Fuck you!" I shout after the door is slammed shut by Phil.

I know that I set him off but that doesn't give him the right to act like that. I'm the one who's in the damn hospital. I'm the one in pain. I'm the one suffering, physically and mentally.

Before thinking, I jam down on the button that signals the nurse to come back in and she quickly arrives, "Yes, Dan?" She asks with a smile.

"When can I leave?" I quickly say.

I want out. I don't want to be stuck here. I want release and happiness, even if that's with a bottle and capsules. Anything to help me get this weight that always seems to be on my chest, adding more pressure by the minute.

She's taken back by my eagerness, "Well, uh, it won't be for a another 2 or 3 days."

I let out a loud sigh and slump down, "Okay." I mumble.

Just let me leave.

"I know that you hate being here but you have to stay just for a couple more days until you get back to full health." She explains.

"But I feel fine." I complain, even if I truly don't.

"Dan, you're not fine and your health levels show it. I'm sorry but that's just the bottom line."

"Okay," I finally comply, "can I go to the canteen? Like, walk around and stuff?" I cautiously question.

Jasmine smiles, "Now that, is doable."

"Thanks Jasmine."

"Call me Jai. I think we've known each other long enough." She quickly says as she walks over to me and helps me out of bed.

I'm weak at first and instantly fall back down onto my bed once I apply pressure to my legs but, I'm persistent. I try again, more concentrated but fall back down. Jasmine's always at my side to help me.

She sighs after the 4th attempt, "I don't know if you can get up. I didn't expect you to be this weak." Jasmine gets a look of thought, "We can try the wheelchair."

"Anything to get out of this room!" I shout, louder than I wanted to. This makes Jasmine jump back and I sadly look down.

"I'm guessing that you're okay with the wheelchair." She laughs and goes back into the hallway before coming into the room again with the wheelchair.

"Thanks Jai." I happy say as I butt jump into the seat. I'm also thankful when she doesn't question my outbursts of anger and simply acts like nothing happened.

"Onwards!" She exclaims and she quickly rolls me out of my room. (closing the door of course)

"Do you want any food?" She asks as we enter the canteen that's full of patients and visitors.

"No, I'm not hungry."

Jasmine giggles, "Then why would we come to the canteen?"

I shrug, "I don't know. Actually, yeah, I'll have some food." I say even though I'm not hungry. I just don't want her to question me.

"Okay. I'll get you today's special. I'm sure that you can manage to wheel yourself around."

I look up at her, "Thanks." I smile and she nods before walking over to the queue.

My eyes scan the room and they land on a boy who looks about my age. He has black hair and bright green eyes, almost like emeralds with pale-ish skin. Not as pale as Phil of course. That's almost impossible.
