Head in the clouds

Cheesy and stuff

I read silently as I take in my new surroundings. Well- they arent exactly new but- it's better than the way it was before. My hospital bed is now furnished with actual sheets and a cover they are a soft, warm colored green which is my favorite color. The nurse replaced all the dried up flowers with a new one in a nicely polished vase, and almost everything that seems hospitaly is gone. I was unhooked from my cords and tubes and now- all I have left is the I.V. Suddenly the nurse walks in- she pulls up a chair and sits down. I focus on the words in my book when out of the blue she speaks.

"I want you to read to me," she says. I look at her suspiciousely.

"ool beh coonfussed," I say as I turn the page. She shakes her head.

"I won't be confused- it'll be good for your- problem with-," she points to my mouth.

"Shah-p-ping wehds?" I turn the page and take a deep breathe.

"a mist?" said Hazel. "What do you mean?"

"We're in for some serious trouble," whispered Fiver, "And it's not elil. It feels more like- a mist. Like being deceived and losing our way,"

There was no mist around them. The May night was clear and fresh. Hazel watched in silence and after a time Fiver said, slowly and expressionlessly,

"Oh! my pager is ringing- hold on!" the nurse says right before she leaves the room. I continue reading silently, but every now and then I try my best to form the words- but they come out strangled and forced and finally I give up. I place the book down and close my eyes.

*flashback*

Jack stood motionless on the roof and I stood motionless too. It was dark and mom and dad thought I was asleep. He looked at me and I looked at him. It was dark and so I squinted just to make out his eyes.

"Whats wrong?" I asked. He squinted at me in the dark. Then slowly and cautiousely he leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss. It shocked me in more ways then one. I was surprised and it sent shock waves thru my body. he broke the kiss but I kept my eyes closed to savor it. I finally opened my eyes to find the empty space beside me. As I retreated into my room a few tears pricking at my eyes, I noticed the small note. I picked it up and turned on the lamplight to read it.

-Indigo

I like you

thats really all I can say without feeling cheesy and stuff

-Jack

*End of flashback*

I open my eyes still savoring that night when he kissed me. I miss Jack and Max and my parents- but no one will tell me what is going on!

I wish I'd told him I liked him too. . . but I didn't and now- he is gone
