Part 5 2/2 • I miss you

[Rye's POV]
Then my eye fell on a stuffed bee, laying on his bed. I immediately recognized it.

[Flashback (one of the last ones I promise)]

A few days after surgery Andy was allowed to go home and I went to go visit him of course. I had bought him a stuffed animal, a bee, his favourite animal.

I rang the doorbell and Andy's mom opened the door. I can still remember the exact words she said to me: "Oh um hi Ryan. Ehh I'm sorry but eh... Andy doesn't want to see you. I-I think it's better if you go, I'm sorry."

I didn't know what to say besides "oh". I gave her the stuffed bee and asked her if she could at least give that to him and she said she would do so.

The next few days, weeks, months I tried to make contact with him again multiple times. But ever since he came out of that hospital, Andy hasn't been the same Andy, my best friend Andy. He left the football team and got into music class. It was like with the surgery they put a whole new soul and mind into his body.

But what broke my heart the most was the fact that he kept ignoring me, kept shutting me out as if I didn't exist anymore. As if I had vanished from planet earth along with our football championship.

And the worst thing is, I have absolutely no clue what I ever did wrong.

I'm 100% sure it's the same bee. Why did he keep it if he apparently didn't want me in his life? I was so confused but I decided to just let it go for now.

...

About half an hour later we were both in our beds.

Andy had already fallen asleep on the other side of the room, but I'm twisting and turning in my bed. I'm trying to sleep but I just can't forget about what happened earlier and then the bee thing?

There is something odd. Something that doesn't add up but again I can't quite put my finger on it.

I turn around and look at him. The room is almost fully dark but there's a glimpse of moonlight, peeking through the not properly closed curtains, illuminating his face.

He seems so peaceful. So relaxed, without any worries or stress, or pain...

But I know there is more, I can feel there is something terribly wrong going on. Something in me tells me his life is actually opposite of peaceful and relaxed and that it's actually full of worry, stress and pain, even though he said he is fine.

I need to find out what could possible make his life into a hell.

And with that thought I finally fell into another restless sleep.

A/N 2/2 of part 5. We're actually starting to get into the actual story now and I'm pretty excited! I hope you guys liked and will like it as well.
