The Secret of The Johanssons

Chapter 22 : Now its Out

The smell of medication pierced through my nose and woke me up . I opened my eyes directly and regret the choice when the bright light above me almost melted my eyes . I blinked a few times before i opened them fully and looked around in confusion . The walls covering the room were white with little indents of this pattern , beeping sounds turned my attention from the wall . Tubes was attached to the back of my hand that went all the way up to this bag of water . I tried sitting up but a wave of headache hit me and i slide down the bed again , it was as if i got hit by a truck without knowing it was coming . The sound of the door opening snapped me out of my headache and i focused on the person walking in . I knew who it was from the messy black hair and hazel eyes staring at me .

" hey are you okay? " Devon rushed to my side and help me sit up

" yeah , why are we in the hospital ? " i asked looking at him " well why am i at the hospital ? " i clarified

" you fainted " he said like it was the obvious thing in the world " i had to lie to the receptionist that i was your brother just to get in , they didn't believe me obviously we look nothing alike but i didn't care "

" ofcourse you don't " i chuckled " you could've just called my dad or aunt "

He raised one of his eyebrows " have you lost every brain cells that you have ?" He said smiling , i re-think of what i just said and realized how stupid it was .

" nevermind , you did not call them right? " he raised his eyebrow again and i did the same " i just woke up from fainting don't judge my stupid questions "

He laughed and nudge my shoulders with his , he walked over to the table on the far side of the room and grabbed a cup of water . I took the cup out of his hand and finished it the second i got it in my hand .

" when can they let me out? "

" in a few minutes "

" what happened , I can't remember " he looked down to the floor and shifts from one leg to the other

" when did you last eat? " he asked surprising me , why are we talking about this?

" i don't know , yesterday " he was still starring at the ground and he's creeping me out " i ate mac and cheese last night , what does this have to do with anything? "

" you fainted thats all " he lied

" and? " he shrugged " this is not funny tell me you're creeping me out "

" they ... The uhm ... Doctors they found food poisoning "

What?

" it's nothing serious since you didn't vomit blood , but that was the cause of the vomiting "

" food poisoning? " he nods " that's a bit creepy but I'm relieved "

" relieved?! " he asked me like i was insane

" well from the way you acted i though i had cancer or something , but atleast it's not that bad " i shrugged

" you're insane " he said laughing

" yeah well atleast I'm not dying " i said and he laughed more

After waiting for thirty minutes the nurse called Devon out to sign some paper while they remove the tubes that was punctured in my hand . Another five minutes passed and we finally went home , the doctors gave me some pills and antibiotics . We walked towards my car and drove for nine minutes in silence before i break it .

" why did you try to hide it ? " i asked

" what? " he said completely confused

" the food poisoning , why did you try to hide it ? " he looked at me briefly and looked back towards the street
