Chapter 6

“Nina?” I hear someone say coming from the door of my hospital room. I open my eyes slightly but am to stiff to move.

“Hmm?” I whispers as someone lay down beside me.

“I’m sorry about Ashton, I was angry.” The person says; I soon realize the person beside me is Luke. I rest my head on his chest.

“Its okay Luke.” I whisper closing my eyes.

“I am sorry.” He repeats and I sigh reaching over cutting on the lamp beside my bed

.

 “Stop saying sorry. Honestly he deserved it! I will never tell him that but yeah, he deserved it. So stop being sorry! Cause frankly im tired of you always saying sorry Luke.” I say taking a deep breath.

“But half of this is my fault!” He tells me and I narrow my eyes.

“Why do you blame my panic attacks on you? They come at random times Luke.” I tell him and he looks down.

“I feel like all of this is my fault.” He says and I smile softly pulling him closer to me.

“Its not Lukey.” I whisper and he sobs silently.

“Why do you put up with all of this Luke?” I ask breaking the silence after a few minutes. Luke had his head on my arm scrolling through his phone, completely oblivious to the world.

“Because despite all of these panic attacks, you are an amazing, beautiful, and smart. And I’m not so smart so I kinda need you Nina.” He tells me chuckling. I shake my head laying it on his shoulder

“I’m amazing?” I question and he nods.

“Have you seen yourself? You’ve got talent! You can sing, play guitar, and you can act! You’re absolutely amazing.”

“Whatever you say Lukey.” I say pointing his side.

“When do you get out of this place?” He questions and I shrug.

“They don’t want to let me go home and then have another and something bad happens. “ I tell him and he nods understanding,

“You know I remember the first time you had one of these. I was so scared. It was right before your mum died. You were a mess. I remembering you tell me to go away and I wouldn’t, “ He says taking a deep breath before continuing. “Imagine what would have happened if I had left Nina.”

“I don’t want to think about the last 5 years with out you.” I tell him and he smiles.

“And it pains me to see you break down like that. It scares me.”

“I’m fine.” I say sighing and he chuckles dryly

“Nina Marr Hathway. You are far from fine.” Luke says and I roll my eyes.

“what ever Lucus!” I say “What time is it?” I question and he puts his phone in my face. 1:02 am.

“We should get sleep.” Luke says putting his phone in his pocket and pulls me closer to him.

“Thanks.” I whisper

“For?”

“For being my best friend.” I state

“It’s a pleasure Nina.”

“So they said you can come home Nina!” Elle exclaims throwing clothes on the bed where, Ashton and I are sitting.

“awesome I’m so tired of hospital food.” I mumble and Ashton laughs.

“Same here.” He whispers and I laugh.

“You two are too adorable for your own good. I ship it.” Elle says and I giggle.

“Nashton! I so ship it!” She continues and I look over at Ashton who’s blushing trying to hide it by pretending to be busy on his phone.

“Bye El.” I say and she smirks.

“I’m going to tell Luke he has to like Ashton. BYE BABE!” She yells running out the door. I laugh and Ashton shakes his head.

“You have crazy best friends.” He tells me and I nod in agreement.

“I think that’s why Elle and Luke work so good together.” I tell him get off the bed. I pick up the clothes and walk towards the bathroom.

“Nina?” He questions from outside the bathroom door.

“Yeah?” I reply

“will you.. uh.. go out on a date with me?” he asks and I smile.

“I would love to Ash.”
