Part 12

" hey, it's ok. It won't be long before you'll be discharged," Mattia said reassuring me.

" I know, I know. But just staying here has stressed me out a little," it's been almost 4 weeks and it was getting frustrating not having him here or being able to leave.

He sighed, " Is there some sort of back door I could-"

" no!" I almost yelled scaring him a little, " Mattia  you know you can't risk it. If you sneak in this time you'd get in serious trouble," I knew if I let him he'd find some way to get in here but I didn't want him getting in trouble.

He groaned loudly and flopped back onto his bed," this is killing me. We could've had our first date or something by now,"

I smiled a little, " you were gonna take me on a date?"

" of course," he said smiling and rolling his eyes, " Jordon you're my girlfriend, obviously I'd take you on a date." Knowing I have a boyfriend still crazed me a little, because I never thought I'd have one whilst still in hospital.

"I guess we're missing out on other couple things as well, aren't we?" I asked him, it felt like a long distance relationship and I seriously don't know how people managed to go through with those. I would hate only ever seeing Mattia once a month.

" yeah. Like watching movies with each other or taking naps together. Waking up early and going on breakfast dates or trying out new places to eat." He said.

I smiled at that and just hearing about it excited me a little," going on random late night walks, having deep conversations under the stars."

" you can wear my hoodies or jackets?" he suggested.

I nodded smiling at the idea," I'd like that,"

" really?" He asked looking a little confused, " but you literally never take my jacket whenever I offer it,"

I furrowed my eyebrows a little, " what? When?"

He sat up looking a little shocked that I never realised," Jordon, I use to ask you like all the time. And you'd never take it,"

I thought about it a little and remembered on those cold and rainy days where he'd offer me his hoodie or jacket. That was before we were together, " but if you're wearing it then that's means you're cold, that's why I never took it."

He looked at me seriously, " I literally only wore a jacket or hoodie just in case you need it because I noticed how quickly you get cold,"

I laughed a little at how sweet that was and because I never knew he'd be that upset if I didn't take it.

I looked at the time and realised it was quite late, " Mattia you should get some sleep or something. You have football practice tomorrow as well," I told him.

" are you sure? I don't mind staying up until you're feeling tired," he said to me.

I shook my head, " no I'll probably be up late. I might read for a while, or something. You should sleep though," it took me like 10 minutes to convince him that I was alright and I didn't need him to stay up with me.

The call ended and I was regretting it a little, but I felt selfish for making him stay up for me so it was the right thing to do.

I picked a book out from the side of my desk and started reading it. It wasn't helping me relieve any stress at all because of how sickening it was sitting in this room. I felt like I needed some fresh air.

I stood up and put my shoes on, Fiona was doing some work outside of my room so when I saw her I told her I was going to the garden. She nodded and  I'm glad dad was working late tonight because he wouldn't have let me go so easily.
