Ch.38 What we've been through

I woke up slowly opening my eyes, I sat up rubbing my eyes tiredly as the blanket seemed to fall off to my side despite obviously laying on my back. I assumed I had pushed the blanket off in my sleep as I checked the time on the clock.

I looked out the window as I saw a little morning fog on the window. The sky was a powder blue with a honey dew fade to it as the sun raised, with the morning dew falling off some the tree's leaves. I watched small droplets of the morning dew collect up into one big drop until its slid down the fogged glass leaving a yellow lit trail.

I hummed deciding I should get up and ready for the day, I got off the bed and put on my shoes to take a step outside.

I let the nurse at the desk know I was heading out as I walked through the door.

"Fresh!" An excited voice exclaimed.

"Oh, Fresh are you alright?" A voice said, I turned to see Mr. Ink and Palete.

"Oh, er... I'm fine." I replied.

"Oh, that's good, we were so worried about you and PJ! The others are coming to see you both in a little while." Palete explained.

"We were told that PJ's outside too, so we came to see him, want to join us?" Mr. Ink asked as I agreed.

We walked around until finally spotting two dark boned skeletons by the small pond.

As we walked toward the father and son, I couldn't help but notice the sight being engraved in my head.

They sat under a maple tree, ignoring the wet grass that the sun lit up with its bright glow. The light sound chirping the birds above made as some gracefully glided and flew in the air. The sound of the water peacefully flowing in the pond with some Lily pads in it, as the water reflected the bright yellow rays glistening as it did so. Then finally the main noticeable thing that couldn't be ignored...The father and son moment that could warm any heart to its core; the two sat across from each other both chatting lightly with smiles, smirks here and there, as their trust and care for each other gave off a warm environment...

It's moment like these I wish I could remember the most. The similar moments I shared with my own once beloved family, the moments I regret forgetting...and most of all the moment's I've come to fear...

None the less I'm glad PJ's okay, he deserves to be. Seeing him now...it makes me look back and wonder how I could have ever considered him a jerk, making me realize just how wrong I was about him...

I can't deny it anymore, as little as I have been with him, I know I do care about PJ more than a friend. Even more than a crush.

I love him, but I'm afraid he won't love me back...I can't choose. Should I act out on my feelings? Or should I wait for him to reveal his feelings towards me? I know we technically kissed once but ... that could easily be chalked up to a spur of a moment thanks to alcohol.

I'm not sure, but as long as whatever happens keeps him smiling like he is now; I'm perfectly fine with it.

'...Wow...I sound like a fricking cheesy romance movie!' I thought mentally cringing as we stopped greeting the two.

"You look up and healthy, that's good. We're glad you and Fresh turned out okay." Mr. Ink said smiling kindly at PJ as he nodded.

"We were so worried when we heard you both got hurt!" Palete stated sitting down with the rest of us.
