A Little More Than Just Friends

Chapter 15: it's still me...right?

Chapter 15: it's still me... Right?

I woke up to the smell of disinfectant. Rushingtons hospital. My wrist stung like crazy and I winced at the pain as the nurse was bandaging it

"Oh your awake" the nurse smiled and she noticed my expression "sorry" she gently put my hand back down and walked over to one of the charts on the wall

"You've lost a lot of blood" she told me "so you have to stay here for a while" I didn't even care. I didn't want I look at Jason after what I just did to him. She spun around and sighed.

"I believe your only seventeen" she said and I nodded "sweety, you know as much as I do you shouldn't have done it" was she giving me this talk?

"Yeah I know" I said. I had some sort of voice on. I don't even know how to describe it. She smiled and sat down next to me again.

"That boy is due back here any minute now" she told me. Ugh! what one?

"I think his name is Macklemore... I don't know" ugh even worse!

"Is there a way you can make me sleep?" I asked her. Fully serious. She laughed at me and nodded. I sighed and let it take over. I don't even think it was legal what she just did but hey. It bailed me out of seeing Mackenzie. So she was a life saver.

"Ah right on cue" the nurse smiled. God! I can't get a break can I? oh well, I'll be asleep soon

"Has she woken up yet?" Mackenzie asked the nurse. What the hell did that mean?

"No. Not yet" good lord I loved this nurse.

"Do you think she might..." Mackenzie couldn't finish what he was going to say

"No no. All her vital signs are strong and healthy. It just takes a few days to get the blood flowing properly" she sounded so smart

"Oh" I could tell he had no idea what it meant.

"Keep an eye on her, I need to go to another patient" she bossed Mackenzie around as much as Jason did. He came and sat down next to me Wait... why wasn't I asleep?

"I'm so sorry Delilah. I hate what I did to you. I keep doing things that hurt people. First Ryan and now you. Why am I such a loser" he cried. I heard the thunk as he dropped his head on to the railing of my bed. He held my hand... the wrong one.

I tried my hardest not to scream as the pain coursed all the way up my body but to no avail. The nurse immediately came back in.

"What happened?!" she half yelled. She ushered Mackenzie out of the way and he ran a hand through his hair. He had bags under his eyes so he mustn't of been sleeping very well.

"I-I don't know. I grabbed her hand and..." he tried finishing but the nurse cut him off

"Her hand has a direct line to her wrist which is trying to recuperate at the moment. The slightest touch that's too hard will make her feel pain. And I don't just mean a little bit" the nurse told him as she tapped some buttons on the screen. She was right though. I wanted to die. At least I could get rid of the pain. Why did he do that?!

"I-I'm sorry I didn't know" the pain simmered down a bit as i felt the pain killers taking action and the sleeping gas threatened to put me back to sleep. I didn't fight it.

You need to leave" the nurse told Mackenzie. He went to protest but she stopped him

"It would be better for her if you left" that stopped him in his tracks. He thought about it then left quietly.

"Sorry Delilah" the nurse whispered "I see now that I should have actually put you to sleep" that witch! she only pretended to do it! ugh she's going to hear about it when I get back up.

"Hey kiddo" Jason said quietly as I opened my eyes. Well that was a surprise. I don't know why but I expected Mackenzie when I woke up.

"Hey Jason" I gave him a small smile. But he didn't return it.

"I've taken you out of school" he said very seriously

"You what?!" I cried I tried to sit up but the nurse told me to calm down.

"It's ok Delilah. They gave me this home schooling thing. You still have to do the exams at the end of the year though"he can't do this can he?

"Delilah. I don't want to do this but... I told you so" he laughed. I laughed to. Because he did. When he moved in he told me he was there because I was going to do something stupid.

"Shut up Jason" I couldn't stop laughing though. Jason looked at me weirdly then looked at the nurse

"She's on a lot of medication" she told Jason. You could tell she was mesmerised by Jason even through the tough girl act. He nodded and gave her his signature 'call me' smile. I swear I could hear her heart beat flutter.

"Can I go see Ryan?" I asked finally slowing down on the laughing. The nurse looked at Jason confused

"It's her best friend. He's in a coma here" Jason explained the word coma. It pushed through the medication and hurt me. The nurse thought about it.

"Yeah ok. But stay with her at all times" the nurse told him. He nodded and helped me to Ryan's room. I say down on the chair next to the bed and Jason stood at the door way.

"Hey Ryan"i said as happily as I could I don't even know how long I'd been here yet.

"Sorry" I said quietly "I would usually be here like once every two days but I can't at the moment. I'm holed up here like you are" I heard Jason try not to laugh.

"But I hope you get better soon. I miss you bud. It's not the same with out you" i kissed my fingers and put them on his cheek.
