Chapter eleven - Comfort

Previously :

I ran out of the room and screamed it for a doctor. A doctor followed by a few nurses rushed into the room . I'm told to leave the room, visiting hours were over.

Another panic attack takes over and I run into the elevator, which luckily was empty. I make my way to the bottom floor of the hospital and try walking towards the exit, but I stop when I hear my name being called out by someone, someone all too familiar, Tom.

∞∞∞∞∞∞

"Tom?" I mumble and turn around and see Tom running up to me.

Alana stop being delusional, it's not him, what would he be doing here? At the hospital, really, your heart is playing tricks on your mind. You are just a love sick puppy. It's not him, it's not him. But...

* Backflash *

"Now can someone tell me what the hell is going on." I said and took my handbag from Carly to find my wallet, ID and essentials but my phone was not there.

"Looking for this?" Sam says with a smirk holding out my phone.

"Yes, thank very much." I say and reach for my phone but Sam pulls it away.

"First who is TOM?" Sam questions and I freeze.

"Busted." Carly says.

"I'd like to be you, caught up in a love triangle with two guys. Is Tom hot? Is he extremely attractive? What level is he compared to Austin?" Carly questions, I'm not sure if she's teasing me or what.

* Backflash over *

Then it struck me, those two did this, they told him. They planned this out to meet him and see who he was, those two are so gonna hear about this after I get me pizza.

"Hey, are you okay?" Tom asks softly and caring and moves strands of hair out of my face. I look at him and he and his eyes are full of worry.

My tongue seemed to be twisted into hundreds of knots. I shook my head no and the water works begin yet again. Tom immediately engulfs me into a hug. His so warm, him begin here made me feel safe and kind gave me a feel of comfort of gave me a sense that everything was going to be fine.

"You okay. It's okay." Tom softly says into my ear. I stop crying and let go of the hug. Tom takes my hands and takes me towards the waiting area.

I take a seat and wipe my tears away. I see Felicia walk pass us with a questioning look on her face but she sends a smile our way.

"Do you know her?" Tom asks.

"Y...yeah." I answer, my voice soft and weak.

"W...why are you...h...here?" I say and I begin having hiccup. I only got hiccoughs when I cried a lot.

"Well you never called are texted me after I told you to inform me if you wanted to still go on a date, but I then had a meeting with my management so I had to cancel even if we were gonna go out. And you haven't texted me for over 48 hours. I went to All Seasons and asked if you have been there but nobody has seen you since Wednesday.

I bombed your phone with messages and calls but you never got back to me. I then decided to go to your house but when I got there everything was dark. Then this morning I get a call from your phone from your friend Sam saying that you were at the hospital and that I should go see you. She told me that you were okay and nothing happened to you. I was a bit relieved that you were okay but I couldn't understand why you were at the hospital." Tom explains and I fish out my phone in my bag and enter my text messages.

Tom 😎 :
Are you okay?

Tom 😎 :
Alana I'm kind of getting worried her.

Tom 😎 :
Okay, kind of really isn't is how much
I am worried about you. Pls call or text
me as soon as possible.

Tom 😎 :
Did I do or say something wrong? Lana just
talk to me please.

Tom 😎 :
I went to your house yesterday but
nobody was home, Lana I'm very worried
about you. Please just call or text me soon.
Please be okay.

Alana :
Good morning Tom, this is Samantha, Alana's
friend. Don't worry, Alana is okay. She's currently
at the hospital.

Tom 😎 :
Is she okay? Is she hurt or injured
What hospital is she at?

I exit my message and enter my Call Logs and see that Tom had been called from my phone. I look up at Tom whose eyes hasn't seem to have left me.

"Thanks." I say.

"For what?" Tom asks with a confused look.

"For everything. For distracting me when I need it. For making me laugh and making me feel over the moon, those are two things I don't really do much. But most of all thank you for beginning here." I say and to stands up and pulls me to my feet and hugs me again.

"I'll always be here when you need me." Tom says and places on the top of my head.

We both sit back down on the hospital sofa. I leave against tom and place my head on his shoulder. His right hand is behind my back pulling me closer to him. Where the hell is Sam and Carly with that pizza?

"Did Sam tell you why I'm here?" I ask Tom.

"All she said is that is was a family issue. And she asked if I could come and see you." Tom says.

"Oh." I all I say.

"You're freezing." Tom says.

"I'm use to it." I say.

"Come here." Tom says and pulls me closer. I snuggle my head into the crook of his neck and close me eyes.

The last thing I felt before I totally fell asleep was a kiss on my cheek and tom saying "Sweet dreams". His hugs and warmth is all I need to make me feel that it was okay to cry that everything would be fine no matter the outcome.

Tom was truely special. He made me laugh and smile, but most importantly he made me ecstatic, an emotion that I haven't felt in so long. But most importantly he made me feel like I was being comforted, even though my friends tried comforting me, I didn't feel comforted.

It was the best sleep I have had in days. I slept like a baby. My emotions and myself seems to have been collected and all pieces together. And all it took for me to be myself again was Tom.
