Learn to Love Again - Stampy and Squid

Chapter 18 - Learn to Love Again

Squid's POV

I run in the gates of a park with sweat bearing on my forehead, despite the rain. I finally found it. Frederick Street, and a park with tall buildings.

"Stampy!" I call desperately. Nearly an hour after I set off, would he still be waiting?

"Stampy!" I call again. The rain thuds down on the cracked cement drowning out any noise I might make. I run over it, tears now streaming down my face. I sob loudly. He's gone. I'm too late.

Suddenly, my face is on the wet cement. A foul taste makes its way onto my lips. Blood creates a puddle underneath me. What the...?

I stand up, wiping my nose on my sleeve as I do so. I look behind me. Stampy...

Stampy lies in a puddle of my blood and his vomit, his hand off to the side in a weird angle. I kneel down urgently, wiping a speck of blood off his lip.

"Stampy, stay with me mate. Don't leave me!" He groans quietly. "Stampy, please... I... I love you." His eyelids flick open. He smiles softly.

"I love you too."

Stampy's POV

I wake to a bright, white light shining in my eyes. My vision, blurred at first, slowly focuses. The first thought that comes to me is:

Hospital.

Back at the hospital. What happened to me?

Then I remember.

Light, pain, shocks. Did I get struck by lightning?

As if on cue, Netty walks in. "Hey bro," she says. I smile weakly at her.

"What happened?" I croak out.

"You got electricuted. Well, not you really. A tree you were standing under got struck, and the water conducted it to you. You're okay now, although I'm sure your head doesn't agree."

She was right. It felt like a thousand rocks had landed on me all at once. As my mind starts to clear, I remember the last thing that Squid said to me:

I love you.

I sit up, ignoring the pain in my head. "Netty, where's Squid?"

"He went home. I'll call him for you." She walks out of the room.

I flop back down on my bed in exaustion. Even though I only woke up, it feels like I haven't slept for days. Was this what getting electricuted felt like? Or at least the aftermath of it. Then again, maybe I'm just tired of everything. Probably the latter.

After a minute, Netty walks back into my room.

"He says he's on his way."

Squid's POV

I take a deep breath and walk through the doors of the hospital. Netty catches my eye and I walk over to her.

"Can y-"

I don't have to say any more. Without speaking, Netty leads me down a corridor. She stops outside a door.

"He's in there," she says. "Good... Luck." I nod and enter.

"Hey Stamps," I say casually, not wanting to act nervous. He smiles.

"Hi Squid."

"H-How are you?" I stutter, cursing myself. Way to go, Squid.

"I'm fine. Well, not fine. But fine." He blushes. I shuffle my feet awkwardly.

"Didyoumeanwhatyousaid," Stampy blurts out.

"What?" I say. He takes a deep breath.

"Did you mean what you said... You know... In the park." He looks away from me, blushing even deeper. I smile and walk towards him.

"Yes Stampy." I take another deep breath. "I lov-"

I'm cut off by lips crashing against mine. I smile, and open my mouth slightly, giving him entrance. I wrap my arms around him, pulling myself down onto the bed next to him, deepening the kiss. I curve my body into his, moaning slightly. I remember our first kiss now, and this is nothing like it. He's been waiting a long time for this, and he's showing it.

"Ahem."

We break away quickly, but don't let go of each other. I turn to see Netty.

"Remember guys, this is a hospital. Try to keep it in the bedroom," she laughs, walking out and closing the door behind her. I turn back to Stampy.

"I love you," I say.

"I love you too," he says, smiling.

I smile back at him briefly before leaning in again.
