Forbidden Smiles

Pneumonia

Lynn's P.O.V

I wake up to the sound of my own blood drumming on the inside of my skull. I open my eyes and look around, I know I spoke to Alex and Brian before it started raining and I fell asleep on the door steps. So why am I in a white room with monitors and wires everywhere? What I'm pretty sure is a heart monitor is steadily beating beside me, counting my heart beats as they come and go.

The door opens and Andy walks in. "Hey, Lynn" He says calmly, approaching the bed. "Mum and Dad are at work so I'm here with you instead, the doctor says you caught pneumonia sitting out there in the rain. What where you thinking?" He asks looking worried.

"Forgot my keys" I croak. Back in London I forgot my keys literally every other day but it wasn't so bad because I could sit in the stairwells of the grotty building, while it wasn't great at least it was better then being stuck out in the pouring rain.

"You are an idiot you know that?" He says smiling and starting to talk as he goes on about why I should be more responsible. Saying, I might be a singer that is known to some people and a sixth former who is a free runner but that still doesn't mean I should be so irresponsible. While he rattles on about that I find myself wondering about the boy I met yesterday, Kellin, I don't know what to make of him. He's kind in all but... There's something about him that isn't... right? almost like he has some sort of secret or responsibility weighing down on him.

"I know you're not listening, Lynn" He says making me look up and nod before smiling, he knows me well. "You know you've been out for two days, right?" I almost choke on the water I was drinking when I hear that sentence. Two days? Shit, Kellin probably thinks I bailed on him. "And your new 'friend', Kellin" He says putting friend in quotation marks, making me lean over the side of the bed and punch his arm lightly and playfully. "He said you kept missing the school bus, I explained that you where in hospital. Him and a girl named... Melody? I think her name was, they dropped by to see if you where awake, which evidently, you weren't" He says and I, for once in my life, decide to listen to him. "They said they'll drop by again later today so try and stay awake, plus Your English teacher sent Melody back with work for you to be doing while you're in hospital, so have fun!" He says putting the extra remark on the end which really antagonised me. He can be a real bastard when he chooses to be.

"Anyway I need to be going, I've got tests and other things to be revising for. Later" He says getting up and walking to the door. The door clicks open and then shut again as I look around for something to do until Kellin and Melody get here. I find a small book shelf on the other side of the room, I get up griping onto the pole with my Morphine drip as I drag it round towards the books. I've always been a fan of books. I wasn't actual related to Mum and Dad, Andy and I where adopted when I was ten and he was twelve, there was always so much fighting in the adoption centre. I would escape through books. I once read all day because Andy was always the fighter. He would go out and get the food for both himself and I. He saved my life really, but on the other hand the books saved me too. I would have gone insane in that place with out them.

I look through the shelf and find a book that looks interesting. 'Blood on Snow' by Jo Nesbo

Two hour time skip brought to you by my laziness and writers block!

I hear a knock at the door making me look up from the book I had been reading. I finished 'Blood on Snow' and had moved onto 'Midnight sun' by this point. Melody walks in with a couple of books in her hands followed by Kellin.

"Hey" I say smiling but then instantly starting to cough. I was going to be out of school for at least another two weeks, and that was if I was lucky. I'd never been good with luck, ever.

"Hi!" Melody exclaims while Kellin nods and smiles. Melody explains the work to me before muttering a curse word when her Dad rings her to tell her she needs to come home although she doesn't want to. She waves goodbye leaving me and Kellin alone...

To be continued, You all hate me I know XD
