Love Sick ; C. Thomas Howell

DYLAN POV
I dumped Matt... It was stupid - I know, but my  condition is getting worse by the minute and I don't want to think about a boyfriend right now.
I'm here, lying in the hospital bed - I've been here for a week - A WEEK !!!!!
I'm getting insane and I want to go home. I always hated being at the hospital, getting looked at, I know - I know "it's for your own good" you might think - well, not in my case.
My mom drove me home with Audrey in the back. I was so tired, outside the sun started to rise, and the trees started to look golden. I drifted away thinking about the party. I couldn't believe that Matt would do something like that. I guess he kinda rushed into the whole boyfriend thingy, so I don't mind, although it hurts a little.
"You good?" Aubrey asked, I just nodded not really wanting to talk.
"So I'll just drop you off at your parents house in a minute Aubrey" my mom said, looking at Aubrey through the mirror, she just nodded.
I'm glad it's Friday, even though I've been away for a week - I'm still not ready for school yet, I just want to stay in bed.
Saturday was a fine day, I did some reading on our front porch, it was a beautiful spring day. The trees were a pretty green, and you could sit outside without a cardigan or jacket. I snuggled up to the book I was reading, dazing into the wonderful world of romantic fiction.
"Hey Dylan" I heard a voice yell, I looked up from my book - it was Thomas? He doesn't live on this street?
"Hey Thomas, what are you doing here?" I asked
"Oh you know, just came from Rachel's parents house.... are you okay?" He said starting to drag his bicycle up to our porch. I just nodded, ofc Rachel and him are back together, oh well.
"You didn't seem like it" he stated - he just stood there looking at me.
"Well, I'm fine now.. how's the rehearsal for the play going?" I asked changing the subject "it's going.. we miss you at the rehearsals" he said, a slight chuckle escaped his lips.
"Have you been practicing with Anna lately?" I said ignoring the sweet statement he came with
"Yeah, she's straight forward, she only wants to rehearse the kiss scene" I laughed, "she's just into you" I told him, he just nodded
"Well, I guess I'll see you Monday?" He asked, just as I nodded my mom walked out
"Hey Dylan who's you friend?" She said smiling standing in the doorway
"This is Thomas, he's the Romeo in our play this summer" he smiled while waving awkwardly
"Well, it's almost lunchtime, if you friend is hungry he can join us?" She asked, shifting her eyes from me to Thomas, to me again
I looked at him, hoping for a no, but also a yes, he is nice
"Yeah I would love to" he said, my mom made a weird noise "I'll go make some sandwiches then" she left inside
"Why did you say yes?" I asked giving a slight smile, he just shrugged "why not? Your mom seems sweet"

HEY GUYS OMG
this is so crazy, I just started on Wattpad again - and I can't believe people read my (non finished) story in 2019!!!
And I love, that you live it - I know it's super cliche but idc, it's what wattpad is for, right?
Anyways, I wanted to kickoff with a short chapter, it will be my duty, to complete this book this year
See ya
