Author's Note: So someone suggested this to me on Tumblr and I kinda like the idea. It was anon, so this is for anon lol. It's kinda unrealistic and probably a little OOC but whatevas~ hope you guys like it. Takes place like a few days after DTW part 2
"If you need anything, just push the buttom, okay, Elijah?"
I rolled my eyes at my full name and nodded. The nurse placed the tray of food on the table, wheeled it up to me, and left. I sighed and looked at what I got. I didnt even know what to call this stuff! It all just looked like yellow mush. The muffin was edible, I concluded, and took a bite of it.
I was wrong.
Everything in this hospital tasted like shit. I just wanted to go home and lay in my own bed, listen to my music and write. I could write here but I didnt want to. Who knows if the nurses or doctors read my notebooks while I was alseep. They already thought I needed therapy.
I heard a knock on my door, but couldnt turn to see who it was. Stupid neckbrace. "Come in!" I yelled, throwing the muffin back on the tray and pushing it away from me.
The door opened and I still couldnt turn to see who it was. Probably my mom or dad. Maybe Adam. It didnt matter.
"Hi, Eli,"
He came around to the foot of my bed to look at me. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I asked.
Fitz stood there, in his Dot t-shirt and dirty jeans, looking at me closely. "I know you dont want me here -"
"You're right, I dont. So leave,"
"Eli, can we talk?"
"For the billionth time, Fitz, I have nothing to say to you!"
"Then will you just listen?" he asked calmly.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Everything was just getting worse and worse. "Why should I?"
"Because I wanna work things out. I want you to forgive me,"
"Do I care what you want?" I opened my eyes to glare at him.
"I guess not," It sounded like a closing sentence. I thought he was gonna leave, but he kept on talking. "Will you please just hear me out?"
I thought about it for a minute. Maybe if I just let him talk, he'd leave me alone for ever. "Well...They just gave me some pain meds so maybe if you talk, I'll fall alseep. Go ahead,"
He gave me a small smile and began. "Eli, about what happened at Vegas Night...I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to scare you because you made me feel like an idiot. I thought it was the right thing to do. But I know that it's not now. I know you think that I'm using the Jesus thing to get to Clare, but she told me point blank that she doesnt like me and I'm still going with it, so it must be real,"
I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Dude, Clare just dumped me. It's open season for you now,"
His eyebrows crumpled. "I didnt know that you and Clare broke up,"
"I guess this car crash pushed her over the edge and she couldnt deal with my problems anymore," I said, not telling him all of it. My meds were starting to kick in and I could feel my eyelids getting heavy.
"I'm sorry, man," he said and he almost sounded sincere.
"No, you're not," I laughed. "You love Clare and now that we're over, you're gonna go for her,"
"No, I'm not, Eli. That's messed up. I wouldnt do that. And if she cant deal with your issues what makes you think she'd be able to deal with mine?"
"Fitz, your issues aren't nearly as bad as mine," I argued.
"Doesnt matter. That's kinda messed up that she'd leave you here,"
I raised my eyebrows because I couldnt shrug. I was starting to feel really tired.
"Dude, you're about to pass out," Fitz said. "I'll leave. But, are we cool?" he asked.
I held my fist out. "We're cool,"
He bumped fists with me and smiled a little, then glanced at my food tray and grimanced. "Gross. Do you want me to bring you real food tomorrow?"
I laughed a little, half asleep. "Anything beats that shit,"
Fitz laughed. "Alright, dude, get some sleep. I'll come back tomorrow,"
He left and I closed my eyes, instantly falling alseep.
