Two of a kind.

The promise

The hospital had always been a daunting building but now, it's more horrifying that it had ever been for Harrison because he is the reason someone is there. The doors slid open and with extreme hesitation he walking through them. Bare walls, bare faces, bare rooms, he hated this place the way it looked and the way it smelt. There was a lot happening a family was saying goodbye, a previously paralysed man just took his first step, a baby had just been born. Curious place indeed but far from pleasant.

His eyes scanned the doors looking for room 318. "314,315,316,317 and finally room 318. His hand reached out for the handle shaking immensely but he had to face this, he had to fix it. He opened the white wooden door and walked through, and there he lay not exactly dying but most definitely not living. His face was pale and his eyes were surrounded with bright red circles. 'Samuel?' Harrison said his voice shaking,  'you must be the car guy' Samuel said jokingly, Harrison was surprised, how can someone so badly hurt be so happy. "You can sit down you know" Samuel gestured at the chair beside the bed, his voice was soft but strong, light but heavy, sweet but sharp.

They talked for hours and in that time Harrison could not stop apologising. He wondered how this man just let him walk free. His brown eyes when they sun hit them looked like honey and Harrison lost himself in them. It was weird he almost killed the man but the man acted like no such thing happened.
"Hey samuel, I'm....." his sentence was cut off "you can call me Sam you know" Sam said laughing, "oh sorry" sam had heard the word sorry too many times in the past ten minutes "and also stop saying sorry". A nurse abruptly came into the room, visiting hours where over Harrison didn't understand why that hurt, he wanted to spend hours upon hour with Sam, he wanted to make sure he was okay. "Hey Harrison, promise you will come back tommorow" Sam said hopefully "promise...and also you call me harri" he said before walking out of the room.

That night Harrison barley slept he wanted to got back he wanted to make sure everything was okay and he didn't understand how he felt this way about a total stranger but he loved it. For that night it was just Harrison in his hotel room alone with his thoughts.again.
