the guy at the party

26.- Catching up

   Chloe’s point of view:
 
   I sat up in the hospital bed then quite frankly, I’m so tired of. I miss my bed. I miss my bed with Zach all cuddled up next to me in it.
  Zach sat at the foot of the hospital bed, telling me everything I had missed which wasn’t much.
  He just was super depressed.
  “Did anyone visit?” I asked.
  A frown spread across his face, and then one across mine. Nobody visited me?
  “It’s okay, I didn’t expect anyone to..” I replied, while looking at the ground.
  “Hey” Zach said while climbing closer to me, and picking my chin up with his pointer finger.
  “Nick and My mom did, and I never left.” He said, trying to cheer me up.
   He then kissed me and we had a make out session in the hospital, wow. I’ve missed this so much.
  A few moments later, a nurse walked in and saw me smashing my face into Zach’s.
  “Sorry!” She laughed and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
  Zach and I laughed.
“You’re good to look now.” I stated.
She uncovered her eyes, and smiled down at me.
  “How are you feeling today honey?” She asked.
  Quite frankly, I felt fine. Other than a constant head ache.
  “I have a head ache.” I shrugged, and she scribbled some type of notes onto her notepad.
  “It’s normal, honey.” She put the back of her hand onto my four head which she tends to do often.
  After she had left, Zach ordered me food from the caf. I didn’t want it, but I was starving so I ate it anyway and it tasted nasty.
   Zach laid with me on the hospital bed, and scrolled through Instagram as I rested my head on his shoulders.
  Zach then kissed my head.
  “Chloe... you did have a visitor.” He said, not making eye contact with me.
  “Who?” I asked confused.
  “Your mom... you have a right to know..” he mumbled.
   My mom? The mom who had abandoned me? The mom who left me to live on my own? The mom who didn’t fight for me, and just let me go?
  “Tell her to never show her face around here or me again.” I choked.
  Zach sighed and briefly said “okay...”
    He didn’t argue, and I liked that.
  It was getting to be late, so the nurse had checked on me again and the I dozed off with my head upon Zach’s shoulder.
   Zach played with my hair and rubbed my shoulder until I finally dozed off. And so did he, for the first time in a month and 2 weeks.
