In His Eyes

With

Mitch:
It's been so lonely just sitting in this hospital, I suppose it's better than being beaten up at school though so I'll give it that. I have to go back to school tomorrow though and I'm really ducking dreading it, I know that Matt will be there so I'll have to face him as well as everyone staring at my now bruised eye.

Scott has come to see me a few times, he brought me chocolates -which I didn't eat because I'm on a diet- and a few cards. My mom and sister have obviously been here constantly but other than that I've had no social interactions. I'm not really a very good talker anyway so it doesn't really bother me too much, I do miss Kirstie a lot though as she hasn't come to see me at all. Maybe she got a boyfriend and doesn't need me anymore.

My nurse Amanda walks in with a cup of coffee and a bowl of porridge, placing both the items on my tray and smiling as she sits by my legs.

"I'm gonna miss you tomorrow Mitchie, it's been fun having you here" she stops and looks at me worried "I shouldn't have said that, I don't mean it was fun that you ended up here, I just meant that you're fun to talk to... sorry." I smile and laugh quietly at her worry.

"It's okay Mandy, I understand." I smile and lift up a spoonful of porridge before letting it fall off the spoon and back into the bowl. This is way too thick.

"It's healthy Mitch, you should eat it. I haven't seen you eat anything all week," I hate when people care. It's none of her business.

"I'm just not very hungry right now, thanks for the coffee though" I sip at my coffee (that's way too weak it's basically just hot water) and push the bowl away from me slightly. There's no way I'm eating that.

Once Amanda is gone I slip out of bed and go over to the bed next to me, there's an old man who's always asleep in it. He must have had porridge aswell but ate it all, there's an empty bowl on his tray so I scrap mine out into his before slipping back into my bed. My phone buzzes as soon as I sit back down, I figure it must just be mom telling me she's getting some food and will be here soon. My phone buzzes again, picking it up I read the messages on my lock screen.

Unknown: hey
Unknown: Mitchiee

My phone keeps buzzing and buzzing, so I open it and read the messages as they come in.

Unknown: you're cute
Unknown: for a fag that is
Unknown: hey loser answer me
Unknown: I know you're in hospital
Unknown: cutie where'd you go?
Unknown: I've been watching you.
Unknown: you should really eat something.
Unknown: too skinny
Unknown: I really like your eyes
Unknown: i know you won't answer
Unknown: enjoy your coffee.

The texts stop coming though suddenly and I put my phone back down. Who the fuck? Why the fuck? What the fuck?
