CH 12: I was friendzoned, goddammit.

You should love the person that makes you glad that you're alive. -Elena gilbert

*****

(The chapter starts while Ciara is still in the hospital)

Masons P.O.V. 

Beads of perspiration formed on my forehead and I wiped them away with my bare hand. I drove towards the hospital, unsure of what will happen when I reach there. 

Will I see her again? 

Will I get to see her beautiful smile, the way her eyes twinkle when she talked about the things and the people she loves? 

Will she still be devastated that I left or has she moved on? 

Would she forgive me? 

'SHOULD' she forgive me? 

Do I deserve to see her again? 

I block out all the thoughts of her, what really matters right now is whether I'm doing the right thing or not?

NEXT SCENE

"You Jerk", Nina points her index finger at me. Oh, Lord. This is not gonna end well for me. "You left us to rot in hell and now you have the guts to come back when she's in a hospital?" She shouts.

"It's nice to meet you too", I say. "I'm glad you missed me, because I know I did."

"Why are you here?" Nina says in a hushed tone

"I heard about the accident. I know I shouldn't have left you guys, but, god, I'm sorry. It was hard for me too, to leave her, to leave you, to just forget the memories we made together and move on. But I had to. I had no other option. It was difficult seeing her with someone else, to know that she only thinks of me as a best friend. I was friendzoned, goddammit,"I chuckled but Nina just glares at me. 

"I'm sorry. I'm back now. I won't do it again."

"Fine", Nina sighs. "Come here, silly", She hugs me.

 At first I resist then I hug her back. It finally feels good to be home again.

 "Nina, I don't want Ciara to know that I'm here yet." 

"What do you mean?" She pulls away frowning. 

"I just want to see her for a moment or two and then I'll leave. You won't tell her I'm back okay?" She nods, "I'm going to give her a surprise"

NEXT SCENE

I stand infront of Ciara's room. I place my hands on the doorknob afraid of what will happen when I set foot in this room. One step and then there is to hurdle between me and her. 

I turn the doorknob and open the door revealing a soundly asleep Ciara. Her hand is dangling on the side of the bed, her mouth slightly open. Even though she's laying sick in the hospital she still looks like the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I walk towards her bed and sit on the side.

At first, I keep staring at her, admiring her beauty. I am scared that if I move any closer, I won't be able to stop myself. I control the part of me that's hungry for her and grab her hand and wrap it in mine. With my other hand I stroke her hair and gently caress her cheek. I trace the outline of her simple yet intriguing features. My thumb brushes her lips.

 While doing so, I see a guy from the corner of my eye, standing in the doorway, staring at me wide eyed. His eyes hold a secret message in them, something I can easily decipher. 

Pain. Hurt. Betrayal. 

He's holding a bouquet of white tulips in his hands. Before I get the chance of asking him who he is, he storms off. What the hell? People are weird. I soon forget about the guy and decide it's time for me to leave. I place a gentle kiss on her forehead and walk out of the room.
