Nell's pov:

Now I'm laying down on the lifeless hospital bed , trying to relax my brain a bit,

but I can't because of Tom.

"Hey". I looked up at the owners voice and saw Tom walking towards me with a plastic bag. "Hey.." I replied. "How are you feeling so far?" He placed the bag on the floor and checked my fever. "I'm fine" I said. "What's in this bag?" I asked. "Oh that! It's some chocolate for you so you can recover faster" he chuckled grabbing a galaxy from the bag.

He opened it up for me and signaled me to open my mouth. I refused at first and second but then I gave up and just opened my mouth. He happily placed one piece of chocolate in my mouth.

'No wonder you're different from all Lisa's ex boyfriends....you're nice'

"Are you normally that nice to people?" I asked from my curiosity as I saw him sitting down on the chair. "And what are you trying to imply?" He asked tilting his head a bit, smiling. "I mean you're too nice to me. So I'm asking are you always like that?" I said. "Don't you want me to be nice to you?" He asked ignoring my question. 'Honestly, it's like you're giving me some pitiful attention' I thought. "Idk.." I looked down at my fingers and played with them nervously.

"Yeah I guess" he replied yet so slowly. I raised my head and looked at him. "What do you get from smiling to people?" I asked. "They smile back at me" he replied. "Ah...is that so..." I sighed. All what I got are fake people doing miserable things to me. "Tell me what is it?" He said. "What do you mean?" I looked confused a bit. "What are you thinking about." He said. My eyes grew bigger and I immediately thought of an excuse. "Nope I wasn't thinking of anything. It's fine" I looked down at my fingers again.

There is always some truth behind just kidding. Knowledge behind I don't know, emotion behind I don't care, and pain behind it's fine.

"Why don't u wanna tell me?" Tom asked grabbing a piece of chocolate from the bag. "Don't really bother yourself please" I replied, stealing the chocolate from his hands. He looked at me and chuckled. "Thanks....". "No need life buddy" he said. "That's right. What's ur name?" He asked getting kinda excited. "Nell....". "That's a beautiful name" he complimented.

' first time I get a compliment from a nice person'

"You already know that you don't have to stay here you know" I said, biting the last piece of chocolate. "Why so? It's better to have a company around especially when u really need some" he smiled sweetly. His voice is so warm and soothing. I just didn't get it, is this a gift from god after my patience?.

"Your girlfriend Lisa will get really mad if she knew about this" I said it even though I didn't want his company to leave...it was so new and warm for me. "She can't get mad at me for helping someone. Besides why do you seem so worried from her? Does she do something to you?" He asked, his voice changing into a worried tone.

Lisa?...have you ever been so hurt so bad that your whole body is crying. Your heart is aching so much, you can't take a breathe. You can't say a word. You can't make a move. Your mind is set on your pain. You just feel the burning heavy tears streaming down your cheeks....that's nothing of what she does to me.

"Words hurt more than actions..." this thought slipped out of my lips unconsciously. I felt my eyes getting watery but I didn't dare to let a tear fall instead I raised my head immediately and faked a really bright smile to Tom. He looked at me for a long while. "How can you smile like that?" He asked all of a sudden.

Huh...

"What do you mean?.." I asked. "You're faking your smile now" he replied. My eyes grew bigger and his words sent shivers to my body. "I....". Words couldn't escape my lips. "It's fine you don't have to explain. Just be yourself around me.." he replied moving slowly next to me. He hugged me lightly and my tears betrayed me and fell down my cheeks. I cried silently. "I'm sorry..." I said. "Shh it's okay.." he patted my back yet so slowly.

He didn't fail to keep patting my back for the past 7 minutes. Until he got a call. He let go of the hug, smiled to me before answering the call. "Oh..Lisa" he said through the phone. My smile dropped. I didn't bear to hear her name. It made me feel sick.

"This evening?.." he said and he looked at me giving me the pitiful look. I nodded that it's okay for him to leave. "This evening then..." he said slowly. "Umm see ya" he said and hung up on the call. "U should get going.." I said. "Nope it's fine there is still an hour till the evening" Tom smiled and sat beside me grabbing his Mac laptop from his backpack.

"Netflix? No chill" he said questioning me. I laughed and nodded a yes. "So what movie do you wanna watch?" He asked dialing his password. "A comedy one!" I replied. "Oh I love comedy movies too, then let's watch 'the dictator'!!" He said laughing. "Okie~" I replied.

I was happy. For the first time someone's company made me happy. He was enthusiastic ,However he knew when to be serious. It made me feel as if I should live for him only. I shouldn't kill myself because if I did I might hurt him. And that's totally sad to break a happy person. Or maybe he's not happy even?....
