Let Us Learn How To Love Together

Cared For?

Ryan’s POV~

Sunday was absolute hell. Stan was relentless because he couldn’t have me the day before. It’s now monday morning and I roll out of bed, groaning when I roll on my arm. I sat up and got dressed, slowly, but I did it. I grabbed my book bag and rushed to the door. Everyone was still asleep so the house was quiet. I walked out, closing and locking the door behind me. I let out a sigh of relief as I quickly made my way to school. I have to go to the nurses office to give my excuse from gym, and I am not looking forward to it. I don’t want to worry Levi anymore. After 10 minutes of walking I make it to the school and I walk in. I head to the nurses office, avoiding looking at anyone. Once I was outside the nurses door I took a deep breath and slowly walked in. Levi looked up at me and smiled, but his smile instantly dropped when he saw the cast on my arm. I looked down at the floor as I made my way over to the desk. Digging in my pocket I pull out the doctors note and hand it to him, avoiding all eye contact. I took a quick glance at him and saw him shaking his head and I dropped my head again. I could hear him scribbling away on what I assume is going to be my excuse from gym. He hands it to me.

“Why didn’t you call me?”

I shrugged.

“I was worried sick, I was afraid you got seriously injured, or worse! And it seems as though I was right about one thing! Please let me help you!”

I snapped my head up at him and I saw tears in his eyes.

“Why do you even care?! No one has EVER cared before! So why now?! Why must someone care Now!”

“I care because… well… because… I don’t know! Ok! Just… I don’t know…”

He covered his face with his hands and sobbed.

“Are… are you crying because of me?”

“I’m crying for you… I’m crying because I care about you, and I’m scared for you… I’m crying because… just because.”

I walk over to him and put a hand on his back, rubbing gently. No one has ever actually cried for me, well, other then my mother, but I think that’s just because she’s afraid of people finding out.

“I’m sorry…”

He stood up and I hugged him, burying my face in his chest.

“What are you sorry for? I should be the one sorry, for causing you so much worry.”

He pulled away and I stared into his eyes. They were red and puffy from him crying, and I felt bad.

“Don’t ever be sorry for making someone worry, making me worry. You are important, and special, don’t Ever forget that! And I’ll Always be here for you, alright!”

He hugged me again and sighed. I nodded against his chest and then it was my turn to start crying. It feels so weird to have someone care about me, I’ve never felt cared for, ever. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to feel. We hugged for what felt like hours, me being the one to pull away this time. He wiped my tears away with his thumb and I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. His finger gently touched my bottom lip, he pulled away immedietly and looked away, I could see a faint red dusted on his cheeks. I looked down at the ground and felt my face heat up. What is this feeling? Like, I’ve never felt this way before, my heart feels like it’s going to pound right through my throat, and I feel like my knees are going to give out. He looked at me with concern filling his eyes.

“Are… are you okay? You look a bit pale.”

I blinked and went to respond but my voice got caught in my throat. Before I knew it I began falling to the ground, but I blacked out before I hit the ground.

~Time Skip~

I slowly open my eyes and take in my surroundings. I panic but then calm down once I realized that I was in the nurses office. I grunt and close my eyes again. I hear footsteps come towards me and I turn my head in the direction of the footsteps, cracking my eyes open slightly. I see Levi crouching next to me. He brushed the hair out from my face and looked at me with a worried expression. I opened my eyes fully causing him to fall back in surprise. I laughed because of the face he made while falling, and he gave me a glare in return, thus causing me to laugh harder. I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the cot. He took a seat next to me and fiddled with his fingers. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and he looked nervous. I’ve never seen him nervous before… Why is he nervous? I never really looked at him, like, in the face and paid attention. He was quite handsome, he had a very defined jaw line, a slight beard, nice, long black hair, and of course, the greyest eyes I have Ever seen. He sighed and looked at me, I quickly looked away, looking at my feet and pretending to focus on a spot on the floor. But my mind kept wandering back to him. The way he makes me feel, how I feel legitimently cared for by him, how I care about him… Wait… I do NOT care about him… I shake my head and bury it in my hands, trying to cover the blush I know just spread on my face.

“Are you feeling alright?”

I pull away from my hands and look at him. before I can say anything he spoke.

“Oh my gosh! Your face is beat red!”

He placed the back of his hand on my forehead.

“You’re not running a fever. Maybe you’re just overwhelmed?”

I laugh again and go back to hiding in my hands. I am overwhelmed, with emotions that is. I’m not good with feelings, to be honest, and I’m feeling something. What is going on?
