Just another crappy love story

Chapter 1: Hospital

I sat there in the hospital near Nick's bed. I listened to the soft beep of the heart monitor. I love that sound compared to what it was an hour ago, a long flat tone had blared throughout the room. Doctors had been rushing all around the tiny little room. Barking orders at the nurses and at each other.

I heard a moan and a faint rustle that snapped me back to the present. I watched Nick role towards me in his bed. I reached over and squeezed this young man's hand, he looked at me as a tear fell from his eye. He opened his mouth but I stopped him, "don't speak, I don't want to remember you like this,"

He nodded with a grunt, more tears fell from his eyes as if every one was a paragraph that he wanted to let spill out. He opened his mouth and spoke before I could stop him, "what happened?"

I smiled at his refusal , such like nick. "You were driving home from work when you were hit head on by a drunk driver. "

A look of terror crossed Nick's face.

"You have some broken ribs and a fractured skull..... You've been here for a few hours, they wanna keep you for observation. It'll only be about three weeks then you'll go home and then you can come to school when ever you feel like you're ready." I faked a smile to hide the fact that I would miss him every second every minute every hour every day. I didn't want to be with out him even if he didn't know how I felt about him.

I felt my self about to start crying, "I've got to go" I said quickly, "I'll come visit you tomorrow."

He nodded. I felt his eyes on me as I left the hospital room.

I started to drive home wiping away tear after tear. He'll be okay Calypso, it's fine.

...............................................................

I watched Calypso walk out of the room. Was that a tear? No she never cried.

I turned my bruised and bandaged arms around in front of me. What a jerk! I thought. Who in their right mind drinks and drives?

I rolled over in my bed, and wiped a tear from my eye. What's wrong with me? I thought. I'm never this emotional! Then I remembered, some thing that seemed very vague I'm not sure if it was a memory or a dream, but I remember rain pounding on my car, a screech, lightning, hitting the pavement, a girl rushing over to me, her cradling me in her arms, who was it? I started to see her face was it---

"Mr.Skep?" Said a nasally voice, snapping me back to the current time, "it's time for your medication"

"Medica- oh right " I said starting to feel my bones ache,"sorry nurse, uh, Wendle?"

"That's me" she said rolling her eyes, "Please just take the pills so I can go change my next patients bed pan."

"Okay...." I took the pills from her and popped them in my mouth.

The nurse left a few minuets later after doing some routine things. I felt the pain medication start to kick in after a while. Even with the soar parts steadily becoming duller, there was still an ache in my chest, an ache from the lack of presents in the room. Lack of Calypso.
