Bed of Roses - Finished

Chapter 9- Love

It’s been 5 days that I have been in the hospital, Nick comes and stays with me every day, and it feels like old times again, back when we were happy. The doctor has me taking medicine that helps keep my mind from making up crazy thoughts. My mom and dad made a special trip to see me, and they stayed for a day, but then they had to leave again, but it was ok, because Nick was there the whole time even once they left. I was scared of what my mom and dad would do when they found out what happened, but they didn’t even get mad, they just said they were glad that I was doing better. But they didn’t know that I was doing better because I had Nick again to help me feel better. But they were right; he did make me feel better. He would stay with me till 9, and he would come back after school, sometimes he would bring me lunch. The doctor said that I need to eat more; they said that if I didn’t eat I could end up very sick. Part of me didn’t want to eat, because I didn’t want to gain weight, but when Nick would bring me food I couldn’t say no, so I would eat it and he would give me a smile that made it all worth it.  Nick had told me a couple days ago that confronted Trish about all the things that she did to me, and she was so mad that she had started saying mean things about me right to his face so he told her that they were over. He also told me that when he left school that day he punched Anthony in the face and Anthony now has a black eye. I hated that he fought with everyone for me, but at the same time when I thought about it, that he did it for me, the butterflies in my stomach went crazy. I am in love with him, and I don’t know if he knows it, I mean I put it in the letter to him, but maybe he didn’t know that I meant I was in love with him.

The nurse came in with my medicine and I thanked her and put it in my pocket, the medicine had made me kind of drowsy and spacey, so I decided a couple days ago that I would only take them sometimes, like right before bed. It’s not like that would change anything any way, and I was feeling a lot better. It was the middle of the week, so Nick wouldn’t be here for another couple hours. The doctor walked in the room and told me that I should be able to go home today, which made me very happy; I couldn’t wait for nick to get here so I could tell him, he would be so excited too! I hope he is excited, but what if he wasn’t, maybe he only wanted to be friends while I was in the hospital. No, no he is back and he really cares for me! I shake my head to clear it. I decide I will take a nap until nick gets here and I can tell him the good news.

My room door being opened wakes me up and a nurse walks up to me and gives me a sweet smile, “how are you feeling?” “I am ok,” I answer her and I look at the clock and realize it is 3:00 nick should be here in about an hour. “Ok well we are going to give you some pills, keep taking them, and they will continue to help, when you run out, all you have to do is call us and come in for a checkup and we will give you more, but these should last about a month. Take 3 a day, one when you wake up and one in the middle of the day and 1 before bed.” “Ok,” I thanked her and she left my room. I lay on my bed for a while watching TV and after a couple episodes someone opened my door again, and I smelt pizza, and my stomach growled. I looked over and smiled when I saw nick with a pizza box. He came and sat next to me and opened the box, ham… YUM! I reached into the box and took a piece and I moaned at the deliciousness. Nick and I ate the whole pizza in 30 minutes while we watched TV. Just then I remembered that I had to tell nick the news. “Guess what!” “What?” “The doctor came in earlier and he said that I can go home today!” “Awesome!” he was just as excited as I was; I have been in here too long.

Around 5:30 I signed that papers to leave and they gave me an appointment to come back in a couple weeks. We left and started driving towards our houses. Nick looked really antsy, and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. Maybe he really didn’t want to come home with me, maybe he was sick of me again. No, he wasn’t sick of me the first time, it was all Trish, and he doesn’t hate me.  We pulled up to his house and walked up to my house we got to the door and unlocked it, I looked over at him. The way he was looking at me just made me feel all tingly inside. I couldn’t help it, he was standing so close to me, so I leaned in and kissed him… right on the lips. I am not experienced at kissing, at all, so I just had my lips on his. He didn’t do anything; he just stood there looking shocked. I realized after a second what I had done. I had just kissed my best friend. He look as shocked as I felt, I felt tears start to form in my eyes. I opened the door and slammed it shut, and ran into my room; I felt the tears streaming down my face. Of course he wouldn’t want to kiss me. I am a loser and why would he want to kiss a broken girl, I tried to kill myself; of course he wouldn’t like me like that. He could never love me the way I love him. Why would he want a depressed girl? I lay in my bed and cried, I hate this, and once again it’s my fault.

**Nicks POV**

I was shocked. She kissed me. Our lips touched. SHE KISSED ME. I was just so shocked. Does she… like me too? I couldn’t do anything, I couldn’t even move. I heard the door slam and it got me out of my shocked state. What, where did Abby go? I realized what I did; I really hope she doesn’t think that I didn’t like it. Because I LOVED it, I love her, I opened the door to her house and walked straight to her room, I could hear her crying, so I opened the door and walked in. Seeing her there broke my heart, I needed to tell her.

**Abigail**

I was lay on my bed, I could feel myself hating myself again. “I love you; I am in love with you.” I was shocked, I wanted those words to be true so bad, I almost believed him for a second, but then I came back to reality, be couldn’t love me, I was unlovable. “You can’t love me… you don’t really love me…” he walked to my bed and grabbed my face. “Abigail, I Love You! I have loved you for years, you mean the world to me and you always will.” “Then why did you date Trish?” “Because you told my mom that you and I would never be together, and I couldn’t take you not being with me.”  “I thought you didn’t love me like I do you…” “Of course I love you.” I felt tears in my eyes again. “Abby… will you be my girlfriend?” Tears were pouring down my face. I felt him swipe away the tears from my eyes, “Abby?” my heart felt like it was exploding, “yes,” I said through my tears and threw my arms around him. “I love you Abby.” “I love you too.”

*6 months later*

Nick and I have been dating for six months and we are madly in love, and even better than that, he proposed to me last month, we are going to get married. I told my mom and dad, and they have been home ever since. My mom has been helping get ready for my wedding. Also not so shockingly Nicks mom said ‘told you so’ as soon as she heard. Me and nick are so excited and we will be together forever.
