Alex's POV

My eyes flutter open. 

Sunlight streams in through the window. 

I check my phone.

5:15am

No messages. 

Thomas didn't call. 

A nurse comes in.

"Oh, you're awake," he says. His name tag reads Rory Williams. "I just need to take your temperature and make sure your blood pressure is good, okay?"

I nod. 

Once he leaves, my phone dings.

TurtleBoi- Well I'll head down to the garden in half an hour? Is that okay? 

A.Ham- Sounds great, see you there!

I smile to myself and climb out of bed.

Well, I have a little time to kill. I'm bored. And I need coffee. I'm sure no one will notice if I leave the hospital without someone else......

~time skip (30 minutes later)~ 

When I get to the garden, I see John sitting on the bench.

Damn, he's so cute. I'm sorry but it's true! What, with the sunlight in his curly hair and his cute little smile and his beautiful green eyes... Alex. Stop. You've gotta be true to Thomas. 

"Hi, John!" I call to him. When John sees me, he smiles and waves. 

I hand one coffee to him when I sit down, and he looks surprised and confused. 

"Ummmm..."

"I got you a coffee," I say. "I wasn't sure what kind you like, so I just got you the same as me. I hope that's okay..."
