Lauren was a sweet patient at Journey Village hospital in Great Lake, but also a recovering addict from the Orange County Rehabilitation Center, and her nurse Normani was just as great. Soon Lauren got better and she went back home, but she really m...
After that dumbass incident, I ran to April's house. I needed someone to rant to that was actually going to be there, who's better than my best friend?
Nobody, exactly.
"So you just ran, just like that?"
"I was scared," I exclaimed guiltily. "Afraid that she wasn't going to feel the same way."
"I understand, but how would you know if she did if she didn't if you didn't at least try?! Also the way she looks at you?! She's in love with you, literally, every since you started to be her nurse. Since you're not, this was her time to shoot her shot but she was feeling the same way. I don't get it, too guys both like each other, just go for it!"
"It's not easy! Just because you and Ally-" I cut myself off realizing what I said.
"Wait, you know about me and Ally?"
"She told me, I don't get why you couldn't!" I said sadly. "I actually thought you liked Ally at first." She chuckled.
"Now you see I dont, but I know now, and you're her lock screen! But anyway," we laughed, "I'm going to try again and hopefully she doesn't murk out because of this."
"Me too April, me too."

I came home, throwing my shit on the other couch and plopping and on the next one. I knew it, she couldn't even finish asking me.
I wonder if did that just to make me happy, or make me think I was really gonna have a chance with her. I mean, I don't really think she really wants to be with me. I mean, what is there to say that I should?!
I just sat there and cried my eyes out for about 20 minutes. Blaming myself for thinking she'd actually ask me out.
But I started to think the opposite way, what if she did actually like me? But when she planned on asking me, she thought I'd say no?
I really believe that now that I've thought it through.
Why hadn't I noticed sooner? She really does like me.
But you guys know me: I'm flip floppy, hard to convince and insecure, but I'm not ashamed of that, and Normani knows and doesn't mind that either, that's one of the biggest reasons why I want her. She gets me and makes me feel like no other ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend has made feel.
I've gotta talk to her, because if we do go on a date, I wanted to sing a song I wrote for her called 'Feel Good', it represents my feelings and yeah. But let me stop getting ahead of myself and babbling and get dressed.

I texted Ally and she said Normani's was over there and she was headed to the park. This is my chance!
\\At the Park\\
I started walking and then I spotted her. We made eye contact and she turned away. I sighed and walked towards her.
"Hey," I said blankly as I took a seat next to her.
"Hey." She replied lowly, not even looking at me. Right then and there I knew she felt like shit.
"I'm not mad at you, Normani. You were scared, I get it. Since we're talking about feelings here, let me talk about mine as well."
She turned to me to show that she was listening. Time to get it off my chest.
"I had grew a liking to you as you helped me when I was addicted to cocaine and I had back problems. You didn't treat me like what people called me "slow", "weird", and all that. You didn't care, you stuck by me through all the talk and all the trouble I gave you do to my addictions and my illnesses. That one thing that really told me that you'd be a keeper. But at that park you said all you wanted was to just for me to get on the ride basically so that gave me the idea that you didn't want anything further. That's why this happens: we get the idea that we don't want each other, not knowing that we really do."
Normani took in everything that I said, it took a while because I did say a ton.
"I never knew you felt that way. I wish I could've figured it out sooner. But now I'm just hoping for a second chance."
I nodded and she intertwined her hand in mine, with me looking into her brown eyes as I mostly stared at the reflection of the moon into her eyes.
