Save Me, I'm Fine - ForthBeam

{ Nine }

(3rd Person POV.)

[ Part One ]

💎

Beam was asleep when there was a knock on his door. He was still in the hospital but they moved him into a slightly bigger room so that, if they want to, Pha and Kit can stay with him some nights.
Beam's doing better. His anxiety is very high and it's not good, but he's ok. He's not relying on drugs and alcohol anymore, for now at least. Give him a couple days and he'll start to fell the withdrawal effects and start to get annoyed that he can't do anything about it.

"Beam. You awake?" Forth asked walking into Beam's hospital room.

No response from Beam, he was asleep of course. It's all he could do at the moment.

Forth sighed and sat across from Beam's bed on the couch. He just sat there looking at Beam, not in a creepy way, just looking at him trying to find the right words to say for when he woke up and tried to kick him out.

* 3 Months Ago - The days leading up to Beam and Forth fighting *

"How's treatment going?" Forth asked as him and Beam were eating at a sushi place across the street from the rehab center. Beam had been allowed one day out to hang out with friends so he asked Forth to go to lunch with him. It was kind of like a date, the two had been talking and flirting a bit for a few weeks, and today was like a first date for them.

"It's alright, you caught me on a good day I guess," Beam said eating more rice than sushi.

"On a good day?" Forth asked and kept eating.

"I'm still going through the withdrawal, I tried to fight Kit yesterday because it got so bad," Beam said and looked up at Forth for the first time since they got here.

Beam smiled a bit and looked away before Forth could notice that he was staring.

"I'm just happy you're getting help, I couldn't stand to see you going through that. Even if I've only known you for a few months," Forth said and smiled seeing Beam smile for the first time in a long time.

"I'll be alright, don't worry so much," Beam said and pulled his hoodie sleeves down when people started staring at the rehab-medical bracelet he was forced to wear.

"Ignore them, just focus on me, alright?" Forth said and held Beam's hand pulling the sleeve down for him. Beam nodded and kept his head down and kept eating.

"When do you have to be back?" Forth asked as they finished eating and started walking around the mini-mall near the restaurant.

"Seven, I have a therapy session at 7:30," Beam said and held Forth's hand tighter. He hates skinship unless it's with PhaKit but he's starting to get more comfortable with Forth too.

"What do you wanna do till then?" Forth asked putting his arm around Beam's shoulder.

"Go to the river, talk about stuff?" Beam asked and Forth nodded.

"That sounds nice," Forth said and they walked to the the river and laid down in the grass and started talking about anything they could think of.

Currently the two boys were playing 20 questions.

(Question 5) "When was your first kiss with a guy?" Forth asked and Beam blushed.

"I've never actually kissed anyone, despite what Ming says about me I've never been with anyone like that before, only talked to them and went on dates, never anything physical," Beam said and that surprised Forth.

"All of his stories and rumors are fake?" Forth asked.

"About 80% of them are fake, anything drug related is real, anything violent is real, everything else is fake," Beam said and Forth nodded happy to have a bit of truth.

"Even about you and Yo, did you actually propose to him?" Forth asked.

Beam sighed, "Yeah, right after high school, then he broke my heart and ram off with Pha, but that's in the past, we've both moved on,"

"Is that why he's weird around you? And why Ming hates you?" Forth asked, Beam nodded.

"Enough about me, why do you smoke? I thought you were innocent," Beam teased and Forth smiled.

"There's a lot you dont know about me baby," Forth said.
