[35] Trust Me

Tess's POV

"She's alright but he's not. His condition was already on edge and this has made it even worse," I heard a woman say.

I slowly sat up and found myself in a hospital room. "No, no, sweetheart. You better rest." The woman rushed towards me, pushing me back down on the bed.

Next to the woman, I saw Luke flipping through the pages of the clipboard before making his way towards me. "Hey, you alright?" he gave me a reassuring smile, but I wasn't able to respond.

"Where's Josh?" I asked the woman who worked in the hospital.

"He's not-"

"Here. He's not at the hospital. He's probably at home." Luke cut in and finished of her sentence.

"Oh," I slumped back on the bed and put a hand on my head and gently massaged it. "Who were you taking about before?" I asked the doctor. Her eyes immediately turned to Luke who was throwing daggers at her.

"She was talking about some caretaker who got slightly burnt in the fire. Isn't that right?" He questioned the woman, glaring at her. She replied with a simple nod before leaving the room.

"It's okay. You're not hurt that much, are you?" he questioned anxiously.

"No, I'm okay." I gave him a small smile to show I was completely fine.

"When can I get out of here? I want to see Josh," I asked Luke, whose eyes turned slightly wider than before. "Um, I don't know." He murmured.

"You don't have to come to the party after all this happened," he mumbled.

"No, I am coming." I confidently responded. I wasn't going to let Josh think that he had control over me.  "I want to have fun, make new friends. You know what I mean?" I elaborated.

"Hmm." He murmured. Suddenly, the door swooshed open and that same doctor had re-entered. "Sweetheart, you can leave when you're ready. But your friend-"

"Is completely fine. He'll probably be waiting for you," Luke finished. What was his problem with cutting the innocent doctor over and over again?

"Okay, let's go," I changed my clothes from the hospital gown to my own clothes after Luke headed outside.

Josh's POV

"What?" I shockingly questioned.

"I'm really sorry. Your condition has gotten much worse and it's putting your life at great risk. The way the thick smoke entered your lungs was very dangerous and life-threatening. Another 5 minutes in there and you wouldn't be here now." The old doctor in the floral dress said.

"Oh my God," I mumbled quietly to myself. "Is it?" I gave her wide eyes to express what I was trying to say. She gave me a small nod before turning her expression into pity.

Another "Oh my God," left my mouth.

Just before the nurse could leave, I remembered Tess.

"Hey! What happened about my friend?" I yelled so she would hear me.

"Oh, your friend, Theresa, is completely fine. Just minor head injuries. She was just getting ready to leave the hospital. She was here with another young boy. Blonde, tall, lip piercing?" She informed me, calmly.

Are you for real? Why does he have to be here? How many times do I have to explain to him that Tessa is mine?

"Ugh!" I groaned.

"Oh and you can leave when your ready. Just make sure you take your inhaler with you everywhere you go." She said before leaving the room.

As soon as she left the room, I instantly got of the bed, put on my shoes and went to go see if Tessa was okay.

--OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL--

As soon as I step out of the exit door of the hospital, I stopped dead in my tracks to see Luke nuzzling his face in the crook of Tess's neck; she hugging him back.

What? I thought Tess and I had something going? Well, we certainly don't from the look of things.

"Tess!" I yelled. She immediately turned her head towards the noise I just made. Her eyes widened and she immediately jogged towards me. "Josh," she breathed out in relief.

She reached her arms out for a hug which I gave in return before whispering in her ear. "Are you okay?"

"Hmm" She mumbled before pulling away. "What about you?"

"Yeah" I replied and half lied.

"I though I was done with life," she laughed, bringing a smile to my face.

"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen. Trust me." I whispered in her ear before quickly pecking her lips and immediately blushing afterwards, making her laugh.
