Fools Game: Love (BoyxBoy)

Fools Game: Love (BoyxBoy) Chapter 13

I was kept in hospital under supervision for the next couple of days, to make sure I didn’t keel over again, and to teach me how to ‘look after’ my self.

Something had gone wrong with my IV or something as well during my time in hospital - instead of water being pumped into me I had something else flowing into my veins which was keeping me ill and this meant I had to stay in for extra couple of days.

Though I got better and seeing my friends every day made things easier - Gary, who came everyday told the doctors and nurses he would be taking care of me when I got out.

Cody and Sean had visited too and surprisingly so did Timothy! (Who still didn’t like me) Of course, Cody and Sean piped in that they would help in taking care of me too and this made the doctors less then confident about my well fare but they agreed that Gary would be ‘suitable’ in looking after me – He even brought my class work for me to do while I was away from college! 

It was great seeing them all and I enjoyed their company immensely (even Timothy) but, the one person I wanted to see was the one person who didn’t visit.

It was like he didn’t even exist and no one talked about him when they came to visit me. The topic ‘Seth’ was well avoided and because of that, I began to worry.  What if something had happened? What if he’d moved away? What if he was in the hospital too because he had an accident? Each thought was worse then the last and it terrified me – more so since no one was telling me anything.

Getting out of hospital was a relief though and the outside air was for more refreshing then the sterilized hospital air I’d been living with for the past week. Gary was currently standing close to me as If I would fall over at any minute and even went as far as opening the car door for me to get in.

Was I seriously some Damsel in distress?

I rolled my eyes but said nothing – I didn’t feel like talking, I was thinking of Seth… again.

I wanted to see him again… Was that wrong of me after I pushed him away? I was such a fool.

“Plug in Skittles, I’m not moving this car till you do” I blinked looking up at Gary before realizing I hadn’t put my seat belt on, quickly doing so as Gary started the car and pulled away from the hospital.

“So…” Gary began, breaking the awkward silence that hung in the air between us. “What do you want to do today? You have lessons tomorrow but I can talk to your tutor if you don’t want to go. Also concerning rooms, you can swap with my room mate – He said he wouldn’t mind sharing with Seth… the weirdo” Gary was babbling having me blink a moment before shaking my head.

“It’s okay Gary, there’s no need. I need to sort things out with Seth anyways” I murmured, keeping my eyes locked to the outside, wishfully wanting to have a coffee suddenly, when we passed my usual café, though I grimaced remembering how Seth had found me there and taken me to get food once… Even my favourite places suddenly felt tainted.

“Skittle?” I snapped out of my onslaught of thoughts and turned to Gary who glanced worriedly at me. “Are you okay?” I frowned, chewing my lower lip before nodding.

Gary seemed unsatisfied and asked again emphasizing his words this time as we pulled into the student halls car park, turning fully to face me and looking concerned. 

“Yes” I replied. My voice quiet and tired… and I was, must be because I’m dehydrated… or because I haven’t eaten enough.

“Tristen?” I looked up to Gary not realizing my eyes had drifted down wards, Was I really that out of it? I didn’t even register my car door opening and hands dragging me out backwards into strong chests, masculine arms wrapping around me tightly.
