Misunderstood ✅

015

It happened so fast I should have seen it but I was to focused on him that I didn't see it....I don't know what hit us but I remember how much it hurt at some point I lost conscious but I woke up and saw you just floating there

I woke yet again with a thick coat of sweat on my forehead panting I moved to the edge of the bed holding on to the side of the bed for balance

"Miss James are you alright" Nurse Johnson said rushing to my side , kneeling in front of me

"I'm fine just a nightmare" I said trying to fake a smile , nightmare more like flashback

"Mmm I'll be back" she squeezed my hand and went off into the hallway I looked back to see my rose on the window sill its petals still in tact it was morning but the sun hadn't risen yet. I got off the bed my feet touching the cold floor I sighed and pushed myself off the bed

I walked around to the window and picked up my rose and lifted it up to my nose taking in the aroma the smell was so familiar that it gave my stomach knots I smiled this was an interesting feeling but after awhile I realized why this rose smelt familiar. It was familiar because we had a rose garden and everytime I would go outside I would have to pass that garden

At this point in time I didn't want anything that reminded me of home I didnt want this warm and fuzzy feeling and knots in my stomach I just don't , I took the rose in my hand broke into two pieces , crunching it with both my hands and throwing it out the window

And there in the distance stod Leonardo with his crisp white shirt and his black sweatpants he seemed out of breath as he squatted down and placed his head in his hands . Now that Shane told me about Leonardo I seem to understand him a little better I know how it feels to loose someone you love and I don't wish that on anybody. I didn't know him that well but I could tell that something was bothering him and somehow I wanted to know

"He really is something isn't it" Nurse Johnson said snapping me out of my thoughts

"Huh" I jumped snapping my head to see nurse Johnson laughing

"Well at least that's what the other nursers and patients say" she shrugged

"Yeah he really is something" I said looking back through the window only to be faced with nothing he was gone

"Y'all must be good friends hey" she said looking through the files by the side of my bed

"What do you mean" I said turning around and sitting on the chair by the window

"Well I doubt you'll remember it happened a few hours ago but nonetheless Leonardo brought you in here and he was freaking out he probably sat outside in the hallway for nearly two hours worried about you but something happened and he left" Leonardo brought me here how come he didn't come and see me I remember him wanting to talk to me but that's about it

I honestly don't know how to feel about this whole thing , one day his hot one day his cold next day his lukewarm . He honestly confuses me and it's frustrating

"Well everything seems to be good your all good to go and I don't want to see you in here next time okay"  nurse Johnson said winked at me as she walked towards the door , she stopped and turned around "And Nevaeh life's too short not to realize what's right in front of you" and before I could reply and ask what she meant she was gone

I rolled my eyes and wore my jacket which was draped on the chair and my shoes which were near my bed. After leaving the clinic I went straight to my room , Madison was no where to be found and that actually made me feel better I didn't want to face anyone I took of my jacket and shoes and packed them away , taking fresh clothes from closet I headed to the bathroom to freshen up. I took a long shower then changed into the fresh clothes

When I got out I went directly to my bed but on my table was a letter on a bed of flowers I looked around but nobody was here and there was no evidence of entry maybe it was here before I even arrived. I sat on my bed and took the letter in my fingers I was hesitant at first but quickly opened it

To: My perfectly imperfect purple flower

Without a failure that bruised your heart , art , and every start

What else would remind you that underneath this golden skin

Word 'strong' runs in your veins

-Noor Unnahar

From: My troubled soul

I sighed throwing the letter on the table something about this letter screamed Leonardo who else had a troubled soul besides me and him I shook my head and headed outside closing the door behind me I started walking with no destination in mind although I didn't want to talk to anyone I was hoping to bump into someone and as if on cue I bumped into the person I least expected Leonardo

"I'm sorry are you okay" he said gently grabbing my shoulders

"Uhh yeah I'm okay" I said and his eye color changed into a pale green

"I know I'm attractive but you don't have to stare" he smirked letting go of my shoulders

"Oh please don't feel yourself" I rolled my eyes and he chuckled " But if you must know I'm looking at your eyes they're interesting the fact that they change with your mood is quite fascinating"

"They must change a lot then hey" he said putting his hands in his pockets

I sighed and tilted my head ,"You have no idea"

I collected myself and walked away from the hallway and into the green fields ,"Well what are you waiting for" I shouted loud enough for Leonardo to hear he smirked shook his head and ran towards me

"Where are we going" he said making me stop in my tracks I shrugged and looked around and then I felt something warm intertwine with my fingers whatever that was made me a feel like an electric current went from my fingers to my stomach I looked down and realized that it was Leo's hand that was intertwined with mine we both looked down and at the same time looked up. I was so confused

"Do you trust me" he said his eyes changing into an even darker green

Do I real trust him I mean after all the things his done?, "Yes" I breathed he smiled and pulled me in the direction he was running
