I Just Met Him!

I woke up abruptly in an empty room. There was a blinding light in the room which made it hard for me to see. As my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, I realized the room wasn't empty, there was all sorts of medical equipment in it.

As my eyes scanned the room, I noticed a boy sitting in the corner of the room. He looked around my age and was soundly asleep. He had tousled, messy brown hair and thin pink lips. He looked as if he hadn't shaved or changed clothes in at least two days. He was frowning, but you could see crinkles by his eyes and a ghost of a smile on his face that told me he wasn't always like this. He seemed vaguely familiar but since I couldn't see his eyes I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I pondered the color of his eyes for a moment before I got bored. I tried to get up to go to the bathroom yet I suddenly felt weak. I fell quickly, but not before knocking over a metal tray, which made a loud noise when it hit the floor. I just sat there stunned while mystery boy awoke quickly.

"OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY?!" He asked quickly, which for some reason irritated me a bit.

"Oh yes I'm perfectly fine sitting here on the floor-while a bruise is probably forming on my head- but I'm perfectly fine, yes." I replied sarcastically. He might have not noticed my sarcasm because he gave me a confused look.

"Could you just please help me up?" I sighed aggravated.

"Um, yeah of course sorry."

When I was safely placed on my bed, I decided to ask the questions.

"Who are you?"

"Um, how don't you know that?"

"Should I?"

"I guess. Well anyways I'm Louis. Louis Tomlinson." He stuck out his hand for me to shake while I eyed him wearily.

"I'm April Witaker." I introduced myself without shaking his hand though. He got the memo and slowly retracted his hand.

"Ummmm, so do you mind telling me why I'm in a hospital with a member of Britain's most famous boy band?"

"Oh so you do know who I am?" He replied smugly. Dang. I wasn't supposed to let him know that.

"Uh..Um...Yeah but I'm not a crazed fans. Boy bands are not my thing. So um anyways, why am I in a hospital?!"

"Yeah about that....I might have accidentally run over you...." He mumbled the last part quickly and quietly, but I heard it clearly.

"YOU WHAT?!" 

"Wait hear me out! Ok so we were in the park just taking a walk-me and my band mates- when we got spotted by the fans. We were mobbed quickly and rushed back to the van. I was driving, being the oldest one, and wasn't paying attention when you crossed the road since I was just trying to get away from the fangirls. When I did notice it was too late and I didn't hit the brakes on time." He replied sheepishly. 

"But I'm really, really, REALLY, sorry." He said guiltily. He looked like he really meant it but I wasn't just going to let it go easily.

I tried to calm down for a minute before speaking.

"So, what exactly happened to me?"

"Well, you were in a coma for about a week now due to the lack of blood. You had to get stitches in a few places which I don't remember what they are. When the doctor was telling us I was pretty much freaking out. So yeah now you're awake! Oh! Which reminds me, the nurse said to call her as soon as you woke up."  He said while pressing the call button near my bed.

"How are we feeling today Miss Thompson?" A cheery nurse with an extremely high-pitched voice (which wasn't helping to the headache I suddenly had) asked me.

"Um fine I guess. i just have a slight headache."  I replied casually while massaging my temples.

"That's great! Now I'm just going to take your vitals, all right?" She squeaked and I nodded silently, trying to block out her annoying voice.

She took my vitals and then gave me some pills along with instructions.

"All right you're free to go home! Have a nice day and come here whenever you feel anything unusual, ok?" She said as I finished signing the forms. She left my room and Louis just stood there awkwardly.

"Umm, excuse me?" I asked after getting irritated with the way he so often opened his mouth as if to say something and then closed it again.

"It's nothing it's just-" He did the mouth thing again. "Never mind. So um have you got a ride home?" He asked and I shook my head no. 

"Um can I- I mean do you want me, to take you home?" 

"Sure." I said while following him outside to his car."

"Here it is." I said as Louis slowed down to a stop right in front of my apartment building.

"Um, do you want to come in or something?" I asked awkwardly.

He seemed deep in thought for a moment.

"Um actually no sorry, I have an um meeting tomorrow, early in the morning, with management." He said. I felt a bit disappointed but I simply waved it of before nodding.

"Oh. Um well it was nice meeting you. Um, bye." I said before turning around and walking home. Right when I was going to walk inside I heard Louis calling me.

"Um but we could do something tomorrow? After three maybe?" I smiled. 

"Sure."

"Alright I'll pick you up tomorrow at four-thirty!"

"Good Night!" After that I walked inside exitedly and did a happy little twirl. I felt like a pathetic little school girl. But there's no way I can feel like that about Louis. I just met him.

I can't like him that way.
