Hospital

Chapter five 🌵
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up and an iridescent light blinded me for a few seconds. Everything was blurry(face). As I fixed my sight, I was staring at a plain white ceiling.

I looked around the room and noticed that my arm was hooked to a drip and I had an oxygen mask over my mouth. I looked in front of me and saw a very worried pale face. It was Phil.

He got up from the couch and walked over to me, smiling. He gently grabbed my hand and looked at me with tears in his eyes, still smiling.

A tear ran down his cheek and was soon joined by others. I brought my hands close to his face and wiped away his tears. More tears started appearing but I didn't understand why. My eyes swelled up and started watering and all of a sudden it was the freaking Niagara Falls up in here.

"What was it you wanted to say?" He said in a calm and soothing voice. I don't know what to say. I mean, I think he likes me. I don't know, I don't know anything for that matter. Okay, time to do this. I can't keep on hiding my feelings, this ends now.

"Phil, I like you" I blurted out. Oh no. I fucked up big time. Wait- he's laughing? Tf?

"I like you too, Danny" he said while chuckling. dOEs hE thINk tHiS iS SOme KiND oF JoKE?!?!

"No Phil, I like-like you. As in, love you. As in, ive-had-a-crush-on-you-the-first-time-I-met-you." I explained. I felt kind of sad that he didn't get it the first time... Maybe he doesn't think of me the same way. Maybe I ruined it. Maybe this ruined our friendship. What if things are going to be awkward after this? Ugh, you fucked up Howell.

"Same" he replied simply, grinning.
It took some time for me to realise what he just said and excitement filled my body. I've never felt so ALIVE. I smiled at him and he gave me a smol kiss on my forehead.

"You can go home now, Mr. Howell. Make sure to take the pills and medicine I prescribed to you twice a day. I'll inform your parents that you can leave now. Have a good day, boys" a nurse said, walking into the room.

"That's great news! Phil said excitedly. "I'll go pack your stuff".
"Thanks Phil" I said, smiling weakly.

I put my clothes on, brushed my teeth  but I couldn't bother straightening my hair. It was very curly at the tips and me sweating like a pig in the non-conditioned waiting room didn't help.

"I like your hair" Phil said, bursting out in laughter. I pouted at him and he started twirling the tips of my curly hair with his fingers. I crossed my arms and turned my face the other way.

"You're so dramatic. Your hair is perfect, I don't want you to ever straiten it ever again." Phil said, turning my face so it can face his.
After a few seconds of starring at each other I replied "Not happening, Phil."

He rolled his eyes at me and put his arms around my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder and traced his fingers on my neck. I started squealing and backed away but he pulled me back and blew on my neck. This sent shivers down my spine. Damn, he knows my weakness. That's not fair.

He freed me from his arms and I backed away, side-eying him. He started laughing again.
"I'm so done with you smh" I said to him.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what your reaction would be. It was hilarious." he said.
"Sadist." I replied flatly.
