What Are You? - Ohmtoonz Fanfiction

Confusion (22)

Well shit.

"Hey Mini? I need to talk to you really quick." I yanked him away from his mother and towards the side of the building. He loudly apologized to his mother for my behavior and said he would be inside in a moment. I released him and leaned against a wall. He lifted an eyebrow and gave me a suspicious glance.

"What's wrong? You're really starting to freak me out. Maybe we need a mental asylum instead of a hospital." 

(As long as it's not owned by John's mom ;)

"Remember how I asked you if you knew a Ben Thompson?" He looked up at me this time the playful glance he had was gone. 

"I thought I was hearing things when you asked me that before...that's why I didn't bring it up." He tapped his chin and began muttering. I ran my hands through my hair and scoffed.

"Mini." I attempted to get his rambling to die down. He stopped instantly.

"It's Craig." 

"Sure. Listen to me, you have to promise you won't instantly ask me a whole bunch of questions when I tell you this." He winced.

"Well, I'm not sure if I can promise that..." I cut him off.

"Ben Thompson is the person I know. The person I'm here to see." He went quiet. I let out a relieved sigh. "I'm surprised you actually kept your promise." I smiled. Mini grabbed my shirt and yanked me down to his level. His fist started to ball up on my clothing.

"This isn't a joke. That's my uncle you're talking about." He growled. I widened my eyes and grabbed his hand, yanking it off my collar.

For a second, I think I felt something. But there's no way I was scared. Not of him. A bloody human.

"I'm not joking Craig." His body jolted when I said his name in such a harsh tone. "He's the man I am here to see."

"That doesn't make sense." He muttered.

"Maybe not to you but it does to me." I started to walk back towards the building when Mini pulled me backwards and into the wall again. The height difference was apparent. His face was rather low and he had to point his chin up a lot to look at me. But I still felt the serious aura leaking off of him. His voice came off gruff and cold.

"Listen. I may have only known you for a short while but I feel like you aren't being entirely honest with me. It's a gift I have." I shoved him off me and once again walked for the front doors with him trailing behind me.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you the truth. You don't know me at all."

"You're right I don't." He scowled in my direction. "But I would like to try and get to know you! But I can't if you just make fun of situations like this!" I ignored him and kept going towards the front doors. As soon as we got inside Mini gave up on me and met with his mother. She took us to Ben's room. Mini's mother seemed to be glad he had a friend going with him even though he glared at me the whole way there. I didn't have the heart to tell her I wasn't his friend.

At least...not anymore.

"This is his room right here. I'll leave you guys too it and wait in the lobby." She gave Mini a kiss on the cheek and walked away from the door. I didn't hesitate to open it. As soon as we were there I went inside. 

I'm not going to stay here anymore than I have to. Just check on Ben and leave.

It was kind of cold in the room. Several beeps could be heard but none of them were consistent or rapid. An older looking man laid with his eyes closed in a hospital bed. Several machines and tubing were hooked onto him. His face was unnaturally pale and his hair was messy. He had a brown beard that was graying slightly at the top and a slim figure.
