I Think You Have the Wrong Number

Chapter 3

As the clock struck 11, my mom's eyes officially closed and I leaned down to give her a kiss on the cheek, pulled the covers over her, and walked out the room. My mom had made me promise to go home and get some sleep so I was about to exit the hospital when I remembered about Auden. I whirled around and snuck back to the hallway, carefully avoiding the nurses since visiting hours was over.

When I finally stood in front of Room 189, I reached out a hand and warily turned the knob. I pushed the door open carefully and when it gave a loud creak I held my breath and looked down the hall. After waiting for about five seconds I shakily let out the breath I was holding and slipped through the door into the dark room. I listened to the steady breaths Auden was taking and for some strange reason a wave of calmness washed over me and I felt relaxed and carefree as if even if the world came crashing down I'd still smile. My heart tugged and I gasped in shock. Am I having feeling for this guy? A guy I didn't even know! All I knew was his name-Auden Blaze. My face heated up and I shook my hear fiercely. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and stashed my feeling under a boulder inside my heart in a bottomless pit. I imagined the boulder sinking down the pit and tied with it, were my feelings. I slowly opened my eyes and stepped forward towards the bed. I sat down in the chair beside him and watched him take even breaths as he took mine away. The curtains were drawn but not all the way. A streak of moonlight flooded the room and fell upon his gorgeous face. It made him look so surreal. The moonlight made his face seem to be out of a fiction story. The light only got to one side of the face and it made him look mysterious and hidden. It was like a mask that he hid behind and kept him hidden in the shadows. I imagine one smile breaking all the secrets and mystery. His smile kind and allowed the mask to come off.

'But what lay beneath?' I wondered. His hair rested in a mess and the moonlight made it shine and I couldn't resist the urge to feel it. It was soft like silk and slipped through my fingers. All of a sudden a radiant smile broke out on his face and I gasped inwardly at how amazing he looked. It took my breath away and I forgot to breathe for a second.

His eyes moved a little and I held my breath. His eyes slowly fluttered opened. His electric green eyes roamed around the room till they spotted and stopped at the sight of me. Shock washed over his face and he continued to stare at me. I turned away unable to register what's happening. When it finally dawned on me that he had woken up, my heart thudded abnormally fast against my chest and at a moment of panic, I did the most idiotic thing I could've done in my entire life. I turned to look at him one more time, pressed the nurse button on the side of his bed, and ran out the room. The last thing I heard was him telling me to wait and trying the grasp my hand.
