I remember being in the dark, it was peaceful, calm, lonely...I saw a light and I saw it getting closer and closer. As I looked even more closer I saw a memory...a memory of me and Ely playing in the playground. My past self was with Ely playing at the slide, we were so happy...I then realized I had to fix things with Ely and clarify them no matter how much I didn't want too.
I woke up the next day in a hospital bed and looked to my right. I saw my mother and father sleeping beside me...It seemed as if they had been waiting for me all night waiting to get up. I
then looked to my left and saw Ely peacefully sleeping with bandages all over his face "Ely..." I said weakly. Ely then slowly woke up and looked at me with a face of relief, he slowly got up and gently hugged me saying "I'm so glad you're okay I thought something serious had happened to you".
I hugged him back having a small urge to cry. I caressed his face and said "You got hurt because of me I'm sorry...I should've known better than to trust anyone so easily". Ely then looked at me with a weird look I had never seen before, he got closer to my face when suddenly the door opened. "Nicole!" said Vanessa, "Oh my gosh! I heard what happened how bad are you hurt!?".
My parents then woke up and rushed to hug me, "M-mom! D-dad! I'm okay!" they were filled with joyful tears. I then saw Vanessa and Ely leave my room, I felt an odd feeling watching them leave together but I ignored it. I explained to my parents how everything had happened, and noticed they both kept looking at each other. "What's going on? Are y'all hiding something from me?" I curiously asked.
My father then left the room while my mother said "Your father and I have been considering wether we should...maybe leave and start fresh somewhere else". "No!" I screamed, my mom then tried to get me to understand by saying "We think it's for the best my dear, the people in your school aren't good people, it seems that if you were to stay here you wouldn't be safe".
I turned my hands into fists and spoke crying "I want to stay...I don't want to leave...I'm finally making friends...please mom. I beg of you...". My mother then sighed and told me "We'll talk about this later I have to go to work with your father".
As my mom left my room, I saw someone come in. "Alex..." I said trying my best to avoid eye contact with me, Alex walked up to my bed and sat next to me. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have left you alone" I stayed quiet for a bit before speaking "We...we should take a break...".
Alex quickly grabbed a hold of my hand and said "I'll wait for you, no matter how long it is I'll wait for you" I felt my self about to burst into tears and said "Y-you should go now..."
Alex nodded and stood up saying "I love you" he then left the room and I quietly cried knowing I had hurt him. Ely and Vanessa then came to my room, we all talked until Vanessa's mother came to pick her up. "Shoot my mom's here" Vanessa said, she quickly hugged me and said "See you soon hope you feel better!". When she left Ely glared at me "W-what...?" I said, Ely then frowned and said "Why are you still dating Alex? he didn't take care of you".
I slowly sat up and looked at my hands and told him "We're taking a break..." Ely then stopped asking questions that were about Alex. Ely stood up and walked up to me as he slowly rose his hand caressing my hair and said "I have to go now. Take things slow, eat all your meals and-" I interrupted him chuckling "Yes I know" Ely gave me a faint smile before quickly hugging me and leaving. I layed back on the hospital bed and looked up at the ceiling.
In my mind I just kept thinking, what would my friends think if I moved without warning them, no...what would Ely think...I rubbed eyes and ignored the thought. I have to get better first.
