"Why hasn't he texted me?
Am I really all of those things he said to me that night? Eva I'm going mad here.. Do you think I should call him? or send him a text again? Or perhaps .." He interrupted himself by coughing. "No. You should rest for a while. If he really likes you he would send you a text or call you. But personally I think you should leave him for a while.. you know.. he is still a kid. I know your feelings are true but have you thought about the idea that his are not?" Eva put her hand on top of his and nozzled he head into his shoulder. "No Eva. I know he likes me as much as I like him. He showed me every day how much he does. On his Birhday where I took him on our first official date, Eva, I could tell that this isn't just some fooling around. I felt it and he did too! He just isn't used to the fact that I'm also his teacher. He is just scared that's all.. just scared.. yeah.. that must be it."
It seemed that Miles was rather talking to himself than to Eva.
"Alright if you think so. I have to go now. Call me if you need anything." She kisses him on the cheek put his phone next to him but far enough that he wouldn't be able to reach it and left the hospital.
Meanwhile in another part of Sheffield.. Alex is lying on his bed thinking of what happened. He then decided to call Matt for help.
"I shouldn't have been this mean to him.. I feel awful.. Should I try to visit him again tomorrow? Maybe he doesn't even want to see me anymore. Matt I'm a horrible person. He didn't even reply anything to my letter that I sent him."
"Alex relax. You can't change the past. It happened alright? You can just hope for the better and yes I think you should try to visit him again tomorrow. I can come with you, me mum can try to bring you to him. You know she's a nurse in the exact same hospital that Mr. Kane is in. Why didn't you ask earlier?? I could've helped you."
"Oh my goodness I totally forgot about that! Matt I would be so thankful, if your mum can bring me to him!
I still cant understand why he didn't reply to my letter. You know I poured my heart out.."
"Did he get the letter at all?"
"Yes the receptionist told me that she'll give it to his emergency contact. Which apparently is a woman.."
"Do you think it is possible that this woman didn't let him read the letter?"
"No Matt I don't think anyone could be so mean"
"Well.. I don't know aly.. but hey we'll go there tomorrow first thing in the morning. We both should be sleeping right now. Have a good night Aly"
"Sweet dreams Matt"
Alex decided he will sent a last message to Mr. Kane
GoodBoy0601: Sweet Dreams, I love you X
and with that he put his phone away and got ready for bed.
The next morning
The vibrating sound of his phone woke him up. It was 8 am. Alex hurried under the shower, brushed his teeth, put nice clothes and cologne on and drank nothing but a coffee. He didn't have much time 'cause Matt would pick him up with his mothers car. Alex took his phone and keys and left the house in the right moment when Matt pulled over.
"Morning Matt, do you have a cigarette?" Alex said as he sat in the car.
"Haven't you stopped smoking for Mr. Kane?" Matt said while he took out his pack of cigarettes.
"Yes I have but I'm so freaking nervous right now, so please give me one" Matt handed him a cigarette and a lighter.
"Is it okay if I smoke in your car? your mum won't notice it anyway she does the same, doesn't she?" Alex rolled down the window of this old BMW car and lit up the cigarette.
