I peek my head through the door to see what was going on. Ben’s head was down in a trash can and he was puking. Probably the ice cream that I gave him. A minute later he pulls his head up and wipes his mouth. “Sorry you had to see that.” “It’s fine. The doctor said that you will be throwing up a lot due to the medicine you had to take earlier.” “Oh.” He lays his head back down the the pillow. Why in heavens was I in here?
“Ben the nurse said that you needed me to tell me something. Whats going on?” “I don’t know. I guess I am just getting a little lonely in this hospital bed.” “So you actually want to talk to me?” I look up at him, moving closer to the bed. “Look Cobie I don’t completely hate you I guess. I mean you were there for my sister when I wasn’t and I guess before the accident we were pretty close.” “Ben you're making it sound like it’s your fault you got in the car crash.” “Well maybe it is. I shouldn’t have been out on the road or maybe I purposely did it.” “Now you are starting to sound crazy.” “You never know I can’t remember what I was thinking, hell I can’t even remember my best friends name.” He covers his face in his hands.
I was pissed how could he think that he was to blame for a drunk driver running into him and putting him in this hospital bed. “Ben it’s not your fault you know that.” “Cobie I don’t know anything anymore. I don’t know what to do.” “Just rest right now. You don’t have to think about this all right now.
He looked down and started playing with his hands. Then he starts shaking his head. “No you don’t get it. I don’t know what my dad has done to my mom and sister and I wasn’t there to help them. You will just never understand.” “Nope Ben I will never understand I guess.” Little did he know that he had a child and he was the love of my life.
I sit down on the chair next to Ben and look up at the movie he was watching. It was Water Boy with Adam Sandler. I pulled out my phone and start to text Aubrey when the door interrupts me. “May I please speak to you Cobie?” It was the doctor, “sure thing.” I get up and put my phone in my back pocket. I shut the door behind me and turn to the Doctor. “Ben is showing tremendous improvement we were planning on sending him home tomorrow around three. Is that okay with you?” “Of course it is.” “Great but he is going to lay in bed all day for the next week. We don’t want him getting hurt or falling it could but him in another coma understand?” “Yes thank you so much.” I pull my phone out of my back pocket to call Aubrey.
“Hey how are you doing?” She sounds happy I wonder why. “I am doing just fine. The doctor just pulled me out of the room to tell me that Ben is going to be able to go home tomorrow around three.” “That’s great!!” “I know.” “Well I got to go Andrew is here.” “So thats why you are so happy right now.” “Shut up and take care of Ben for me. Bye” “Bye.” I end the call and start laughing.
In case some of you are confused Andrew is Aubreys friend, well I guess you could say that he is her boyfriend. They are on and off she will want to breakup but will end up calling him back. He is definitely whipped. I look at the time and see that it is almost 1:00am. I knock on the door and let myself in. Ben was sleeping or at least I think he was so I gently pull the covers up to keep him from getting cold. Once that I see that he is going to be comfortable I decide to go and make some phone calls.
Ben’s P.O.V.
I can see Cobie come into the room so I quickly close my eyes to look like I am asleep. She comes over to the bedside and pulls the covers over my head. She then puts pillows on either sides of the bed to make sure I don’t fall of the bed I guess. Once she sees that she has done all she can to make me comfortable she leaves the room. I open my eyes and look around. The room is dark and empty.I pull out my phone and see that it is almost two in the morning. At least I would get to go home tomorrow. When Cobie was out in the hall the doctor came in to tell me. Thank God this bed is starting to hurt my back. No one has called me or even texted me to see how I am doing not even Mike.
Mike was my best friend and still is. We were always together. He was the brother I never wanted. We met in fourth grade and never looked back. I will have to call him tomorrow it is obviously too late tonight. Well maybe not he is probably at a party right now getting it with a chick. How I miss those days. Going to parties every weekend, drinking, and getting with different girls every night.
I couldn’t sleep at all last night. Everything was keeping me awake. I was on my phone half the night looking at the picture of Cobie and I. We looked so happy. I wish I could remember the feelings I had for her. But I can’t and won’t. Just because I can’t remember her or the feelings I had for her doesn’t mean I am just going to stop everything going after girls. She is going to have to live with that. It isn’t my fault.
When I finally put my phone away it was already seven. I wasn’t kidding by saying that I didn’t sleep at all last night. I am pulled from my thought when there is a knock at the door. I wonder who that could be. The door widens to see that the person is a women figure. My breath gets caught in my throat when I see who it is. “Mom?”
