Chapter Thirteen.
We just sat there, gazing into each other’s eyes, no need to speak not even a need to breathe. I jumped up, it had all been a dream, once again I was lying on the floor, I had pretended to fall asleep in the chair so Alex would go to sleep, he always watched me not saying anything because he couldn’t but he always watched me but then he finally fell asleep and went back on to the floor. I got up and went and sat back on the chair, and watched Alex sleep, he looked so peaceful. My stomach rumbled so I decided to go to the canteen and eat before Alex woke up and I wasn’t there. I had hardly eaten since Alex went into hospital, I had no appetite. I picked up a tray and looked at all the food but fancied nothing so I put back the tray and headed back to the room.
Alex was awake when I got back and a nurse was in the room with him, she just looked at me and carried on sticking a needle into Alex, he flinched and so did I. I hate needles. I couldn’t watch so I just looked at Alex and smiled, trying to cheer him up.
“I think you can try talking now Alex” the nurse smiled and walked out of the room.
“At last, I get to talk” he said with his voice still croaky but it was nice to hear him talk. I bent down and kissed him on the lips I couldn’t resist it, I leant on the bed and he bit my lip! I pulled away.
“Ow” we both said at the same time. I had leant on his arm and he bit my lip for doing it.
“Sorry” we said the same time again. I laughed and kissed him again. As I was kissing him a male coughed. I sat down and saw the same doctor as yesterday standing in the doorway.
“Am I interrupting anything” he said and then let out a chuckle.
“No” Alex said.
“Ah, you have your voice back I see” he looked at his chart and nodded to himself.
“Right we have to take you for some tests, umm you” he said pointing to me.
“Ellie” I corrected him.
“Ellie you can stay here if you want, he shouldn’t be long” they then rolled out Alex and his bed and I was left sitting on a chair in an empty room. I put my earphones in and connected them to my IPod and blasted Collide by Leona Lewis. I hadn’t had great nights sleep so I drifted off in the chair.
I was awoken by some banging, I opened my eyes and seen a doctor and three nurses surrounding Alex’s bed and a long consistent beep. They were all speaking really fast, I didn’t catch most of it, but the part I did, I really didn’t want to here.
“We’re going to lose him!” the doctor shouted, I stood up and looked at Alex, his eyes were closed and he looked white. He had been fine before he left; my body went numb as they shocked him with some paddles. I felt the tears stream down my face.
But then the beeping started and the doctor put the paddles away.
“Is he okay now?” I asked him.
“For now” he said bluntly and left, leaving the nurses to clean up. For now what’s that’s supposed to mean? I looked at Alex laying on the bed with his chest showing, the nurse then dressed him in another gown as the first one they ripped to save him, luckily they did.
I sat back down in the chair and watched his chest go gently up and down. I hope he will pull through! I couldn’t hold my eyes open for my longer and I fell back asleep.
I woke up and see that Alex wasn’t in the bed, I screamed. A nurse ran into the room, looked at me and laughed, laughed! Why was she laughing! I heard a flush and out of the toilet walked Alex. Alex was walking.
“But…but…you…you” I couldn’t get any words out. The doctor said he was only okay for now. How was he up and looking good? I slumped in the chair and let the nurse explain, as she was still laughing at my expression.
“You see, my dear we accidently gave Alex the wrong medicine yesterday and it reacted in a bad way, causing him to crash, and the tests we took yesterday, turned out fine, he’s a lucky lad” she said smiling and looking at Alex, who was standing staring at me, his arm was in a cast and he had scars almost all over his body but other than that he look right as rain. I couldn’t believe what could happen in a night.
“You know I could do with a hug” he said staring at me with his arms open. I jumped up and crashed into his body, he flinched and I pulled away.
“Sorry” I said.
“It’s okay, it wasn’t that bad” he pulled me and kissed the top of my head.
“I wanna be first to sign your cast” I said dragging him onto the bed by his good arm. The nurse smiled and handed me a pen. I scribbled on the cast ‘Idiot but I love you” I hadn’t even said that to his face yet, but I did love him. I looked up into his blue eyes and smiled.
“I love you,” I said, he grinned.
“I love you too” he kissed me passionately, and then hugged me breathing his hot breath on my shoulder. It was comforting to have him in my arms again.
Alex’s P.O.V
Her bright, beautiful green eyes glistened in the sunlight coming through the blinds.
“I love you,” she said smiling; the smile on my face grew even bigger.
“I love you too” I kissed her; I had been waiting to say that ever since I helped her up in the airport. After the kiss I held her close to me, I never wanted to let her go. I had no idea what I would do when she went back to England, I can’t even bare thinking about it.
“Don’t leave,” I whispered into her shoulder.
“I have to” she said, I could tell she was crying, I pushed her away from me and looked into her eyes. Her cheeks were wet, I took my hand and wiped them dry and then kissed her cheek where I had wiped. A smile grew on her face, I loved it when she smiled, and I knew she was happy. Then the smile disappeared.
“What are you going to do when I leave?” she asked looking up to me.
“Well…I’m not sure” I had no idea what I would do without her; I wished it didn’t have to happen. I wish summer could last forever! I grabbed her hand and laid on the bed, she nestled her head in to my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around her. This is where I would stay forever. If I had the choice.
Just as I was getting comfortable, Olivia burst into the room with a huge smile on her face, I was glad to see her happy, last time she seen me she was so upset. She jumped on the bed and gave me a hug, she squeezed me so tight it hurt, I winced. She let go and mouthed sorry and looked as if she was about to cry.
“its okay, kiddo!” I said ruffling her hair, she frowned at me then got off the bed. Then my parents walked in the room. I had noticed my dad getting weaker over the past few days, I didn’t know whether stress was getting to him or the cancer was spreading much quicker than we thought but my mum linked arms with him, not romantically but to hold him up. His face was white and his hair was getting thinner, he had lost loads of weight too. I hated seeing him like this. Ellie had got out of the bed and was standing next to her mother, they looked very alike, and my father sat in the chair next to me, as he really didn’t have the energy to stand. My parents just glared at me, I felt so uncomfortable, I felt like a caged animal in a zoo. And I couldn’t do anything about it. Ellie shot a smile my way and I smiled back, my mother then started rambling on about some sort of festival we all had to go to when I was out of hospital, I just nodded and kept my eyes on Ellie the whole time.
After my mother rambling on about crap for about an hour they finally left and Ellie climbed back into the bed with me, it felt nice to have her close to me once again. With that Ellie fell asleep, then after watching her, I drifted off to sleep and had the weirdest dream.
