Nell's pov:-
I woke up from a deep sleep, feeling my head spinning around. I immediately shut my eyes as I groaned from the sunlight coming through the curtains. 'What the heck even? Why am I here?' .
I felt a weight next to my arm so I tilted my head to see what was there...
"OMFG WTF HOW!-WTH NO EW GET OFF" I screamed and Tomorrow and shot up from his sleep, looking....worried?. He stood up and immediately checked on my fever. "Gosh...you scared me! You don't have a fever" he smiled widely. I still felt his hands on my forehead. I dodged it away and asked couple of questions.
"Why am I here?. Why are you here?. Why were you sleeping next to me?. Why aren't you at school!!??" I got shocked from my last question!. He chuckled. "Well you got into an accident and I took you here and I slept forgetting about school!" He sat down on the chair next to me.
'What's up with him? He is so friendly? Why does he act like one of those nice people?'
"Is there something wrong?" He asked looking confused at me. "Uh nothing!" I immediately said. I didn't realize myself giving him judging looks earlier. "Go attend school. I don't wanna be the reason behind your failure" I scoffed and tried to lay back.
He immediately stood and helped me lay back. I looked at him and yet again questions were running in my mind. 'Is he always like that?' . "Go to school! If your girlfriend finds out that you're with me she would get really mad and I'm not in the mood for drama." I stated closing my eyes feeling pretty tried even though I just woke up.
"Are you feeling well?" He asked yet again ignoring my obligations. Honestly, I was really tried and just so done with everything and everyone. "I'm fine" I faked a small smile. However, his face didn't show approval rather it showed....sadness??. I hesitated before I opened my mouth to throw some words. "Is everything alright?" I stuttered.
"No." He answered glaring at me. Well...this is awkward."umm....anything I could help in? I can listen you out!" I said. "You could stop lying about what you feel and that would help" he said sternly yet sounding worried too. "I'm not. I'm fine" I tried to play the game that's going on right now. He groaned "fine".
'What's wrong with him? Why does he act like this? The fuck! He doesn't even know me nor do I. And he wants me to tell him everything I feel and go through just like a piece of cake?!'
I shook my head and scoffed. "Well u have been ignoring my obligations the past few times I said them so will you please just go to school cuz I don't wanna be the reason behind everything miserable that's gonna happen to you."
" I don't wanna go! Like who would want to go to school?!...maybe you okay! But no." He said making a meme face. I laughed. The first time in my whole life I actually laugh at something from my heart. His smiled went even more wider and I smiled back to him. "Well then go to your house. Your mom must be worried" I said.
Silence
After I said that everything went silent. He looked down and his face expression changed completely. He looked as if he was gonna cry any moment. 'What's going on?' . "Hey...is everything alright?" I asked hesitantly. "No it's fine, that's right my mom should be worried by now." He said and stood up. My eyes followed every movement he did from grabbing his stuff till he is about to leave. "I'm gonna come back Alright" he said and closed the door behind him.
'Did I say something wrong? What's with him? Did he fight with his mother! His mood swings so fast. Well people never understood me. I should get over it and get going from this place soon cuz it feels like hell here'
Tom's pov:-
I walked out of the hospital thinking of the conversation I had with 'life buddy'. I felt like I was breaking down. I got people asking me about my mother and stuff but I didn't get hurt. However, It just had a huge affect on me when it came out of her mouth. I didn't wanna tell her about my mom because she already had much on her. "What are you 'life buddy'?" I asked quietly, not expecting any answers from anyone or anything.
*vibrate..vibrate*
I grabbed my phone from my pockets as I felt it vibrating through my clothes. It was Lisa. I answered the call.
Lisa: babe~ where are u? I miss you.
Me: hey Lisa. I'm not coming to school today. I'm not in the mood. What are you doing now in a "class time"?
Lisa: ha. I skip classes babe! U don't know me??? Ouch I'm hurt.
She said that in a dramatic way.
Me: well but still your marks are important.
Lisa: I will just make my family pay for the teachers to increase my marks.
I didn't reply to her. Even though I skip classes and stuff but paying money for the teachers to raise my marks wasn't an idea I approved of.
Me: fine then. I'll ttyl Lisa.
Soo Jung: but babe-
I hung up the phone as I climbed inside the bus. The bus was pretty empty. I sat down at the end next to the window, plugging my earphones in my ears.
"Your mom must be worried".....tbh I don't even know anymore. Does my mom get worried on me even though she's not with me anymore? Is she able to see me even? Is she with me every second like she promised? Does she remember how I look like? Is she...fine?
I closed my eyes and looked down, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry mom" I quietly cried. "I'm sorry for not saving you. It's all my fault".
'I am a disaster'
Nell's pov:-
I stood up struggling with every move I try to make. "Oh gosh! I didn't tell mom even!!" I got worried and grabbed my phone, dialing her number. But she didn't answer. Yeah...what was I expecting...she probably didn't even notice I wasn't there. She doesn't care. And I still dared to call her.
Expecting is my favorite crime and disappointing is always my punishment.
"Hey miss" a nurse interrupted my thoughts. She smiled sweetly and helped me stand up. "Are you feeling better?" She asked and I simply nodded. "Can I go home?" I asked. "Not yet miss. We need you to relax for another day" she replied. I groaned internally and just smiled externally.
"Come on sit on the wheelchair. I'm going to take you for some fresh air from the garden" the nurse kindly implied. I sat down and looked at my legs. 'My legs are not hurt or anything yet they can't even pick me up properly' I thought.
"Miss, can I know your name?" The nurse asked. "I'm Nell." I replied softly. "That's a beautiful name" she smiled sweetly sitting on the ground next to me. "Your boyfriend got really worried on you if you didn't know" she chuckled. "My boyfriend?" I questioned. "Yup, the boy who brought you here" she smiled. "Oh no you mean Tom! No no no way he's not my boyfriend!! I don't even know him that well!" I replied quickly.
"Ohh sorry then but he was really worried about you yesterday." She stated. I looked down and felt my body warm. Not in a good way as you may think, but in a way more like tension and worrisome.
Why is he making me feel wanted in this world. I'm not wanted. I need to leave this life. I am a disaster.
