A Journey of Two Night Goers (A Fanfiction) (Journey Series)

Chapter 3

The government officer called the ambulance to rush us both in the hospital. My nosebleed got worse and the person's (or guy) eye got really hurt. I didn't mean it for me to spray it in his face, but it's also his fault for approaching me. Why on earth would he help me? I'm perfectly fine and I can handle my nosebleed like knowing the back of my hand.

I was on the bench when a nurse tend to me, "Is your nose still bleeding?" She asked.

"M'nah." I smiled faintly, "Thanks."

The nurse then smiled, "I'll check on you every once a while to see if your nose bleeds. If it won't anymore, you're free to go."

I nodded, causing the nurse to smile and leave. As she left, I saw the guy sitting across from me, wearing an eye patch on the eye I sprayed pepper spray on. We then looked at each other for a while then looked at the ground. I secretly looked at him for a while. He has green eyes that would probably melt any soul. His hair is quite messy, but in a way that I find it cool and he colored it red, which makes it even cooler. And his lips... are pink and plump. I like it actually. By the looks of it, he's actually... charming, even with the eyebrow and ear piercings he has on or the tattoos in his body. When he looked at me though, I looked at the ground. Sooner, he looked at the ground too.

"Sorry." We mumbled at the same time, causing us to look up and look at each other.

He started, "I didn't mean to.... Scare you."

"Sorry for spraying pepper spray on you." I mumbled.

"For the record, it actually stings. I'm actually impressed by your DIY."

"How do you know I made it?"

"Spray bottle?" He smiled, causing me to control my smile since he's really cute, "So....we both owe an apology with each other. Apology with a twist."

"Excuse me?"

"It's just.... It's nice to have a fellow foreigner around you know."

"And what has got to do with apology with a twist?"

"Well...uh...Misa de Gallo is fast approaching. It's a Christmas Novena Mass in the Philippines. And I uh....I need a companion for you know... Those 9 nights. I was thinking, maybe you could be... you know, my companion."

"What?" I said with shock.

"Just nine nights, starting tomorrow. We can also go elsewhere so that you can go on vacation at the same time and I can accompany you since I owe you an apology too. Please...."

I sigh, I can't argue with the guy. I mean, I really have to make up with him after spraying him one hell of a pepper spray. And I mean, 9 nights. What could happen? Just accompany him and BOOM. Done.

"Fine." I said then rolled my eyes. He smiled.

"Perfect." He then reached his hand out to me and approached me on the other side of the bench, "By the way, I'm Michael Clifford. People call me Mikey."

I then took his hand and shook it, "Flo. Short for Florence Pugh."

"Nice to meet you Flo." He smiled, then he sat back at the bench across from me. For hours, we didn't leave the hospital. There were still things that needs to be taken care of. I waited for a long time that I ended up sleeping on the bench.

"Wake up Flo." I woke up with Michael waking me up. I then rose up from the bench.

"WHAT?"

"Nurse said that we're okay now." He grinned.

"What time is it?"

"Uh, 4am.... Misa de Gallo time. Let's go to church together."

"First of all, WHAT THE FUCK! How did I sleep that long here? And second, hell n-"

"Please.... Remember we owe each other an apology."

I groaned, "Fine."

I ended up being with him at the church attending mass. It's quite weird actually. He's all energetic and shit and here I am, pissed with everything, especially Michael.

After the mass, I left immediately. It's been a long night and I wish to forget it.
