tomorrow

3

I was at work doing what I always do when I got random phone call i didn't know

"hello?"
I asked

"hey it's Mattia"

"how did you get my number?"

"hospital gave it to me, so what are you doing?"
he asked. He seemed happy, better than how her sounded yesterday

"working, you know so I can pay bills"
I chuckled

"right, well they handcuffed me to the bed so I cant really go anywhere. So talk to me"
He sighed

"yea I can't really be at work talking on the phone, I'll be there in a little bit"

"you are no fun. And hurry up I'm bored"
He whined before hanging up

Skip after work

I got out of work at 3:30 and got in my car driving to McDonald's to get some food for Mattia since he doesn't like the hospital food, I got to the hospital getting a visitors pass and going to his room

I knocked on the door and quickly looked having the biggest smile on his face

"I don't know what you like so I brought some nuggets"
I said setting the bag beside him and sitting on the chair

"what's that?"
He asked pointing at my bag

"oh, just some things were gonna do after you finish eating"
I took everything I had in my bag and placed it on the bed

"what are we gonna do?"
he said sitting up eating

"make bracelets"

"cool, what's that?"
he pointed at the thin box

"oh it's a present for you"
i handed him the box

"a notebook?"

"yea, i found it really easy for me to right what i feel down and not just hold it, so you can right what you feel and only you would know what's in it"

"thank you"
he smiled putting it beside him

"how many nuggets did you eat?"
i asked

"10"

"promise to eat the other 10 later?"

"promise"

he held his pinky out and i did the same

we started making bracelets and we just talked most of the time

the doctor came in checking up on Mattia

"Mattia you need to take your pills"
she asked him

"I don't want too"

"I'll give them to him"
she nodded handed me the small cup they came in

"i'm not taking them"
he said

"I know you hate them, but you have too"

"they make me feel weird"

"that's just means their working"

i looked at him smiling and he gave a small smile back reaching his hand over, the hand they handcuffed

"this stupid fucking handcuff!"
he yelled out

he started freaking out moving fast, his hands placed on the sides of his face

i got up walking to one of his doctors

"i need to the to the cuffs"
i asked the doctor

"i can't do that, he can hurt himself"

"i know, but this is making him freak out more than he already does, please"
i asked again

the doctor denied me

"give her the key"

i looked back seeing his mom standing there, it looked like she hadn't slept

"he's my son, give her the key"
she said once more

the doctor handed me the key

"thank you"

i walked to Mattia room quickly as he was still freaking out. i cuffed him and held his hands making him calm down, his head on leaning on me as he held me starting to breath normally again

"there, there gone, Mattia you need to take your pills"

he nodded grabbing his pills and taking a sip of water with them

"also your mom is outside, she's the one who let them give me the key, she hasn't slept Mattia, and she's not going to until you talk to her"

"but every time i look at her i just see the memory of her finding me on the bathroom floor bleeding, the day you met me wasn't the first time i tried committing, i slit my wrist deep enough that almost killed me and i swallowed some pills, my mom found me in the bathroom bleeding and my little brother seen me on the bed passed out with a pill bottle beside me"

"those memories will stick with you forever, but there will always be new ones you can make, just let her be in here"

"promise to stay?"

"if you promise me to make me 2 bracelets"
i smiled

"deal"
he smiled back

i walked outside to the hallway going up to his mother

"you can come in"
i asked

"he doesn't want me in there"
she said looking sad

"i promise he does, it's just everytime he looks at you he sees the time you found him, and he hates that memory"

"i think of that day almost every second since"

"i know it's hard, but we're making bracelets and it's pretty fun"
i smiled

i held my hand out and she took a second but she eventually took my hand and we walked in the room

she sat down beside him as i sat on the other side

"hey mom"
he slightly smiled

"hi baby"
she smiled back kissing his forehead

a couple hours go by and his mom had fell asleep on the couch beside him

"i gotta go"
i said getting up

"what no, stay"
he said holding my hand

"it's 8pm and i gotta clean up my apartment"

"fine, what time do you get off work tomorrow"

"i don't work, so after i get ready i'll come here and hopefully we'll do something more fun than make bracelets for hours"

"okay goodnight"
he said

"goodnight, see you tomorrow morning"
i said back before leaving

he had ended up making me about 5 bracelets while i made him 4, he made a lot of other brackets for his friends so i let him keep the breads and yarn

i headed back to my apartment cleaning the mess i had and went to bed
