No Love Here

Ruth

So, the hospital.

Didn't expect my hellish night to turn out THIS bad.

When I open my eyes all I see are people dressed in white. Crowding around me furrowing their eyebrows.

I try and turn my head but one of the ladies make me stay still while a man inspects me.

"She'll be fine," he turns towards a woman sitting next to me.

I don't know who it is but from my peripheral vision I know it's a black-haired woman.

"That's wonderful, thank you doctor!" She stands up and then I see who it is, Sienna.

"She'll need to stay for a few weeks though. It's nothing too serious but it could've damaged something." He explains while Sienna nods at him

"Thank you so much," She smiles at him as he leaves

"Oh Ruth! I don't know if you remember what happened or not but you got attacked in the street. You hit your head pretty hard..." She strokes my forehead where the bandage ends

I don't remember that, all I remember was that Chance shouted at me and then...

Oh...

I don't remember at all.

"Mom's on her way, she'll be here in about half an hour." She pouts at me sympathetically at me and runs her hands through my hair.

I turn over to the side and think things through.

So, I got attacked on the street?

Why wasn't Chance th... Oh yeah, I ran off.

If only I wasn't such a pussy about Chance I wouldn't be here right now.

Chance

"If only I wasn't such a dick to Ruth she wouldn't be there right now"

I think to myself as I drive over to see her again.

I arrive at the hospital and as soon as the familiar smell hits, the familiar feelings hit. I'm such a jerk.

First thing I tell her is that I'm sorry. Definetely.

And that the only reason I said that is because you frustrate me in ways you wouldn't understand.

No, I won't say that.

When I knock on her door, a large woman wearing a floral shirt and who has long, flowing dark hair and big blue eyes that really stood out from everything else about her.

Just like Ruth...

"Um, hi. You're here to see Ruth?" She questions looking me up and down

I nod my head and just as I'm about to walk in she stops me.

"Who are you exactly?" She furrows her eyebrows

Why do you care?

"I'm a friend." I shift from one foot to another annoyed, she notices this and gives me a look that translates to 'I can't stop you from seeing her but I don't like you'

So I give her a look that says 'I don't give a flying fùck what you think'

She opens the door and I expect her to do some check things on Ruth or something but she sits on the couch next to Ruth.

I glance at her confused and then I see Sienna next to Ruth.

The rude door lady gets up and strokes Ruth's cheek.

I'm guessing she's not a nurse.

"Ruth has no friends, so who are you really?" She turns to me and challenges me with her stares.

"Well, I'm her friend. We live together."

As I say that her eyes widen and she blushes.

"Oh... well, I'm Darla. Her mother."

Oh my fùcking god

Did I just give the evil eye to Ruth's MOTHER.

"Oh fùck" I accidentally say out loud and then the facial expression she was giving me earlier returns. A disapproving one.

"Well... nice to meet you." She says sarcastically and turns back to Ruth.

I say I'm going to get a coffee from the cafeteria but really I'm just waiting for them to leave.

After about an hour, I get back to Ruth's room and I see that they've finally left.

She's staring at the ceiling, her striking blue eyes still as if she's deep in thought. Ruth's eyes are my favourite part of her, mainly because even if she's kept to herself and doesn't show anything, her eyes tell me everything. In the past, I've always been into the typical - blonde hair, blue eyes. Stacy has blonde hair and blue eyes. I've never really thought about it but I guess I needed something different. I mean, I don't have anything at the moment - but Ruth has hair as black as the front she puts up, her eyes as noticeably blue as a blue ladybug in a white world.

I sit down next to her but she stays in her position on her bed.

"Hey, I'm not sure if you remember but the night of the accident I shouted at you. And I know I was acting like a protective father or something, it's because I worry about you Ruth," I stop as I see her glance at me quickly, "And, I'm sorry for everything I've done. I'm really not roommate material. But I'll try from now on." I smile at her but she doesn't see.

She continues to just stare.

I'd give anything to know what she's thinking.

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Ruth stays in the hospital for four weeks. Four weeks of torture. Not because she's away, but because I visit her everyday. It hurts. It hurts because I'm falling on my fùcking ass even more every time I see her.

I hate that I care about her this much, I'm not over Stacy. Not even close. But my heart seems to have moved on, not me.

I've been doing some thinking, I thought I loved Ruth. But it's WAY too soon to tell, maybe that's what I did wrong with Stacy. I thought it was love at first sight with Stacy. I might think that Ruth's pretty. But I don't love her.

I can't love her. But then where did that speech I give her come from? And what is that ache in my heart that comes whenever I see her?

I just need to ignore it. Ignore her.

By the time she's back I've made up my mind.

Her sister doesn't live too far, she can look after Ruth.

But that's not my job.

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING YESTERDAY! I'VE JUST BEEN REALLY BUSY! AND SORRY FOR KEEPING YOU WAITING FOR A BORING CHAPTER. FOR THIS I JUST WANTED TO SHOW CHANCE'S THOUGHTS IN EVERYTHING.

I'll stop using caps now.

But don't worry, it gets interesting (at least in my opinion) afterwards.

😂😂

Hugs and kisses xxo
