We Met In A Crime

Chapter 3

The next thing I remember is that I woke up in a hospital. I hurt everywhere and I could barely open my eyes. I could just about see that someone was coming so I quickly closed my eyes and pretend to be asleep because I couldn't be assed to talk.
"Oh my god! What happened? Oh Ally." It was the leader talking. I could hear him sobbing when saying 'Oh Ally'. He then kissed my forehead with his soft, gentle lips; I felt a tear fall onto my face as he did so.
Why did the gang leader just kiss me?
He sat on the chair next to me and grabbed my hand which was when I decided to pretend to wake up. "Who's there?" (Me pretending that I don't know who's there. Amazing acting skills I must say).
"It's me, Ally. Max." Max is his real name. "M- Oh Max, hi. What happened? Why am I in the hospital?" That wasn't acting. I actually had no idea why I was here.
"The bus driver was shot and the bus went crashing into 10 other cars, flipped over several times and then fell in a river by the side of the road".
"Excuse me but how the fuck did I survive?".
"The bus has a safe mode so when the bus is about to crash the safe mode is activated".
"Damn that must have been a real safe mode... you sure I'm actually alive?"
He chuckled "Yes Ally, you're alive."
"How the fuck did that keep us alive? That's literally impossible- I-"
He kissed me quickly, "Sorry I had to get you to shut up."
Ok... I was not expecting that to be completely honest.
"Oh uhm..."
"Sorry! Oh fuck. Sorry! I didn't mean to. Well I did mean to but- oh you know what I mean." He blurted out.
"Not exactly." I replied, confused
"Fuck. Sorry. Forget that ever happened, ok?"
"Uh... ok?"

The next couple minutes we both sat in silence.

"Wait! Where's Loki?!" I was worried. "Who?"
"Loki! A guy I met on the bus!" Max looked... jealous almost? "I don't know, and I don't care," he grumbled.
"Well I do". I sat up and tried to get out of the hospital bed but Max prevented me from getting up. "Ugh. Fine I'll find this Loki dude. You're too injured to get up". I smiled. "Thank you".
He smiled at me and left, searching for a person he had never seen in his life.

Max returned after a while. "Found him,"
"Really!? Oh my god! You're the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I grabbed him and hugged him tight. "Can I go see him now?"
"Ha, No! You need to rest up,"
"But-"
"No buts. Rest, and then you can see him".
"Fine". I put on my grumpy face. Max stroked my face and then sat on the chair next to me.
"Ally." He looked up at me.
"Yeah?"
"Going back to the kiss thing..."
Uh oh.
"I don't know if now is the right time to say this but... I like you, Like a lot. And I hope you feel the same way too? I-"
Well. I mean I don't know what I was expecting considering he missed me twice but I still wasn't expecting it. I pulled him towards me and kissed his soft, careful lips. No idea what I was doing. I pulled away.
"That was nice." I smiled.
His face turned red.
I was about to say something before he said "So, what about this Loki guy?" He looked jealous again. "He's just a friend," Max looked relieved. "Good. I mean, uh. You get what I mean, right?"
"Yeah I do." His watch buzzed and he looked alarmed. "What? What's wrong?" I questioned.
"Nothing it's ok. I gotta go now though".
"Oh Ok. Visit again soon?"
"I will. Bye." He squeezed my hand started to walk off before he turned around and ran back to me.
"Wait. I confessed my feelings to you and you didn't say anything back?"
"Ok." I replied.
"Well...?"
"Well what?" I was being annoying and I liked it.
"Oh come on, Ally. Don't play with me like that."
"Ah sorry I'll get back to you on that one."
His watch buzzed again.
"You're such a bitch." He laughed and ran off.

The nurse came in with these weird pink glowing crystals. "What are those?" I asked curiously. "It'll help you recover quickly. By quickly I mean that you should be all healed by tomorrow."
"Oh cool! Give me all of it."
"But I have to tell you that there are side affects."
"Oh that's fine. Hit me!" The nurse just looked at me weirdly.
"Ok then." She handed me a handful of the crystal thingys and I just plopped them all in my mouth. The affects hit me straight away. "Oh my god these are good! Wow." The rest of it was just a blur but I do remember the nurse calling in assistance and then a load of doctors and nurses coming in and trying to strap me to the bed.

-the next morning-

I woke up with straps on my arms and legs and a mask over my mouth. Apparently I kept trying to bite and hit people so they had to put it on me to stop me from bitting and hitting. Damn I went a tad crazy. The good thing, though, was that I felt better than ever! I still had bruises but I didn't hurt or ache anymore. The glowing crystal things worked!
A few doctors came in to tell me I could leave the hospital but that I'd need a week to recover at home.
On the way out I was given some green glowing crystals . They're supposed to help me recover quicker. The person at the desk said that I need to take them every 2 hours and that I'd get the similar side effects as the pink ones but no where near as extreme.
