Love Is Bliss (Halsey & G-eazy)

The waiting room

Here's a random idea I'm writing at 2am, enjoy:

Ashley pov:

And here I sat. On the cold hard chair in the waiting room of the hospital. Right outside Room 93 (😏).  Never in a million years did I ever think I would be in this situation. I wanted to cry, but I was surrounded by so many people. Crying seemed pointless. It wouldn't do anything. But sometimes, when you're emotionally in pain and you can't cry or do anything else, your pain becomes even worse.

"Can I sit here?" A blond woman in her 20's asked me, pointing to the seat next to me. Or rather the only seat left in vacancy in the entire hallway.

"What? Oh, yeah sure" I said startled.

"I'm Alexandra. How about you?"

"Oh, um Ashley".

So she didn't recognize me, I thought.

"Why are you here today?" I asked.

"My husband had a drug overdose today" she said. I could practically see the tears threatening to spill out of her ocean blue eyes.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I didn't know" I frowned.

"It's alright. I'm just waiting for the doctor to give me the all clear to go see him"

"Really? Me too" I told her.

"Why are you here then, Ashley?"

"My boyfriend got into a car crash this morning. He's in surgery right now. Broken ribs and leg"

"Wow I'm so sorry"

"It's ok" I said.

"Are you ok though?" She asked.

"Yeah, I wasn't in the car with him." I said sadly.

"No, no I meant are you okay mentally?"

"Yeah- actually, no" I said, releasing the tension in my shoulders I didn't know was there.

"I get it. No one's actually okay even when they say they are, and it's ok. You'll get through it"

"Wow, thanks. I- uh didn't know I needed to hear that", I told her truthfully.

"Mrs. Alvarado, your husband is awake" a nurse standing in a now opened doorway said.

Alexandra got up. "Bye Ashley, I hope your day gets better", she smiled at me.

"Thanks", I replied, my voice barely a whisper.

I took out my phone, sitting in the still bustling hallway. Looking at my lock screen, however, just made me want to cry more. It was a picture of Gerald and I in Hawaii. On the beach, sand in our hair, and happy. I wanted that moment back. But, I couldn't have that now.

I dozed out of my thoughts when the door in front of me opened. A nurse in her blue uniform appeared.

"Ms. Frangipane? Mr.Gillum is out of surgery. You can come in and see him now." She told me before quietly slipping out of the doorway and through the hall.

I stood up quickly and walked to the front of the door, before stopping right in front of it with my hand on the door handle. Was I ready for this? Was I ready to see him on a hospital bed, and probably in pain? I hesitated, and drew my hand away before I remembered his voice. "Don't be afraid Ashley. I'll always be here for you. Just trust me." I smiled. I remember that day when I was going to hop off a tall wall, and was too afraid to. He told me that he would catch me. I hesitated, and he said to just trust him. So I did. Now I had to do it again. I had to trust him that he would be alright.

Slowly, I creaked the door open so that I could just take a peek inside. But, it was dark. I fully entered the room and moved my hand around the wall to find a light switch. Finding something plastic and hard, I pushed it to cause the light turn on.

Once it turned on, I saw Gerald on the hospital fast asleep on the hospital, his abdomen and leg wrapped in bandages. The beep of the machine next to him kept his heartbeat, and there was a vacated seat next to his bed.

Silently walking over, I set my bag down on the table next to the bed. Sitting down, I stared at his sleeping peaceful face. I saw his hand, and lightly held it. I felt the tear even before it slipped out and landed directly on our entertained fingers. I smiled. We would be okay. I put my head down on the bed right behind his arm, shut my arms, and let my thoughts consume me.

Gerald pov:

I woke up with a start in pain. I tried to sit up, but I couldn't. Where was I? I looked around closer and saw I was in a hospital bed. Why? Oh right. My mind went back to this morning when the black car came out of nowhere and t boned my Uber driver's car. I felt that my hand was wet, and turned to my right side. There she was, my beautiful Ashley. Fast asleep of course.

"Ash", I said trying to wake her up, my voice raspy.

Slowly she stirred, stretching her arms up and yawning, with one of her arms hitting me in the face.

"Owe" I complained, massaging my jaw.

"Wha? Oh your awake!" She smiled.

"Yeah, but you put me in even more pain" I laughed. These things happen only when your awake baby"

She crossed her arms and said, "Yeah, Yeah whatever." She reaches up and placed a kiss on my jaw where her arm had whacked it only seconds ago.

"There! I kissed it better!" She sat back, smiling.

I shook my head before grimacing in pain as I attempted to move my chest.

"Oh baby are you okay?" Ashley questioned, immediately getting up and trying to help me.

"Yeah, I'm okay" I said, my face contorted in pain as I laid back down.

She sighed in relief, and it wasn't until then that I could see the stress lining her face.

"Calm down Ash, I'm going to be okay" I tried to comfort her"

" I know you will", she said, trying to smile. "I'm just worried that's all"

"What happened to me, anyways?" I questioned.

"Broken rib and broken leg. Poor Gerald's all broken" she laughed.

I smiled. "At least I didn't break my leg from telling someone else to break their's"

"Hey! I said "Break a leg" as I'm good luck dumbass" she said, pouting.

"Yeah, Yeah whatever. Can we get ice cream?" I asked hopefully, quickly changing the subject.

She shook her head but grabbed her phone to order me some food for my starving stomach.

(A/N) okay, sorry for the awkward ending lol, I just didn't know how to end this little scrap story. See you next time 😊
