Read on!
It's been a few days since the incident at home. Imogen was lying on the hospital bed all alone. No one was in her room at the moment. Her parents just left to get some clothes. Adam would occasionally come and surprise her. The nurse would come in and check up with her.
The gauze on her arm has been bothering her. She couldn't scratch her arm, even if it itches. The sling was getting on her nerves. She couldn't move her arm a lot.
As Imogen lay on the hospital bed, she started thinking about what had happened the past few weeks. Her former best friend betraying her. Her former crush breaking her heart. It all brought tears in her eyes.
Imogen felt so many emotions. The one that would probably fit her was broken.
Knock knock
She turned her head towards the door and saw Adam standing there. She smiled weakly at him, happy that her other friend came. He held up one finger, letting her know to wait one minute. Imogen was confused for a moment, but Adam turned slightly and gestured someone to them.
That's when the world suddenly stopped.
A figure walked towards Adam and stood next to him. All Imogen could do was try not to cry.
Eli came...
She looked back and forth between Adam and Eli. A few moments later, she glared at Adam angrily.
"OUT OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, YOU HAD TO BRING HIM?" Imogen tried to yell, but it came out so quietly due to her cracked voice.
"You two need to talk," Adam said sternly. He gave Eli a slight pushed and walked off.
She didn't even bother looking at him. When he looks at her, she averted her glaze towards the window. A sigh was made from Eli, followed by footsteps.
He sat down in the chair next to her bed. Imogen tried to hold back the tears. He reached to grab her good hand; however, once she felt it, she yanked it away.
"What do you want?" Imogen asked, not bothering to turn around.
"Look... I am EXTREMELY sorry, Imogen," Eli said.
"It's too late to apologize, Eli. And even if I forgave you, it's going to take some time for our friendship to reform."
Small tears began to flow down her cheek. Eli heard her sniffle, and he couldn't help but look down and wipe away the small droplets that were about to come out of his eyes.
"Why? Why would you go out with my best friend after you find out my feelings for you?" Imogen asked with a broken voice. "Do you really know how much that hurts? These past few days, I kept thinking about the one question that has been bothering me. WHY?"
"Clare was the one that asked me out."
She turned around and faced him with fury. "And you said YES?"
Eli didn't even bother to respond.
"Go. Just leave."
"Imogen-"
"JUST LEAVE, ELI! I don't want you here."
Eli didn't leave. Imogen was crying hard at this point. He leaned forward and wiped the tears off of her face, but she wouldn't let him.
"DON'T. TOUCH. ME."
The heart monitor started beating rapidly. Imogen was about to enter a breakdown. The nurses and her doctor came rushing in and tried to calm her down. The doctor saw Eli just standing there, so he walked up to him and said, "Son, you're going to have to visit her later."
"But-" Eli started, but the doctor started escorting him to the door. He looked back, only to see the nurses huddling around Imogen.
He couldn't help but push the doctor's arm off of him and stormed off.
A week later...
The door opened to the Morenos' residence. Imogen was being carried in by Mrs. Moreno, while Mr. Moreno held the door for them. The doctor told the parents that Imogen needs to be placed under suicide watch, and that he recommends her to take therapy. They weren't happy with this decision, but Imogen said that it may be for the sake of her safety and health.
Mrs. Moreno took her to her room and laid her down on the bed. Imogen instantly fell asleep, and with a sigh, her mother left the room, letting her sleep in peace.
Two hours later, the doorbell rang. Mr. Moreno went over to get the door, and there stood Eli with flowers in his hand, smiling slightly.
"Yes, Eli. What can I do for you?" Mr. Moreno asked.
"Hello, Mr. Moreno. May I see Imogen please?" Eli asked politely.
"I'm not sure if I can let you. She's sleeping right now."
"Please? I need to see her."
Mr. Moreno looked at Eli oddly before moving to the side. "Just don't wake her up. We wouldn't want her screaming and thinking you're a stranger."
"Of course I won't, sir."
Eli walked in and went up the stairs. He turned and slowly proceeded into Imogen's room.
What Eli didn't know was that Imogen was awake the whole time. She heard the entire conversation downstairs. She was supposed to feel anger, because Eli showed up, and hurt, because memories about him kept replaying in her head. However, none of that came to her. Instead, curiosity was all she felt.
She heard the door slowly open, and she quickly shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Footsteps were heard and seemed to increase as he walked closer.
Eli set the flowers on her desk and walked over to the side of Imogen's bed. He grabbed her desk chair and sat down next to her bed. He took her free hand that was dangling and intertwined their fingers.
The same way he did it when he revealed everything…
"Imogen," Eli started. "I am super sorry for what I did. I am a terrible fiend. A friend is one that never tries to hurt the other, especially if the other friend has feelings for them… I didn't even know what I was thinking."
Imogen stayed asleep and continued listening to what Eli was saying.
"Here's the thing… Clare was the one that asked me out. She confronted me and said that she was just using you to get to me. She DID actually say this. I guess she was in desperate need of a boyfriend."
Eli did a weak, fake chuckle. Imogen pretended to show no emotion, but on the inside, she wanted to wake and basically march her way to Clare's house and beat the shit out of her.
"I didn't like her. I can tell you that," Eli continued. "In my mind, I wanted to say no. I was about to, but then she kissed me straight directly on the lips. When she pulled away, I couldn't think straight for a minute and accidentally said yes. I had no idea what had happened, until you came up to me and canceled our plans to hang out at the Dot. Then it hit me. I was now dating Clare. I went to Adam and asked him if you knew, but it was no use. He told me that you found out and that you probably wanted to have nothing to do with me ever again."
That little bitch… Imogen thought in her mind.
"I needed to talk to you, but you haven't been showing up at school. That's when I couldn't wait any longer. I went to you house and saw you all broken. After showing me the scars, I wanted to punch myself at what I did. And after you slammed the door in my face, I started walking off. But after I passed about three houses, I heard screaming. I then realized that the screaming came from your house. I didn't bother going back. Instead, I called your parents and told them that you were having a breakdown."
He called my parents…?
"Seeing you getting put in that ambulance really brought me pain… I thought that I was going to lose you like I lost Julia. I didn't want my NOW love of my life to died. So what I'm trying to say, Imogen… is that I love you, and I'm sorry for what I did."
He kissed the top of her hand before leaning up and kissed her cheek. He finally got up and walked out the door.
Once Imogen heard her bedroom door close, she opened her eyes and sat up. She started thinking about what he said, until she saw the flowers on her desk. She got up and walked over to her desk. With gentle care, she picked up the flowers. The fragrance from it made her think.
She sat the flowers down and bolted out of her room. She ran downstairs and headed for the door.
"Imogen, where are you going?" her dad asked.
"I thought you were sleeping!" her mom exclaimed.
Imogen just ignored them and darted out of the house. She saw Eli turning the corner, so she yelled, "ELI!"
He heard someone call his name, so he turned around, only to see Imogen running up to him.
Once Imogen reached him, she jumped onto him and gave him a huge hug.
Eli had no idea what was going on, but he wrapped his arms around her waist and smelled her scent.
Moments later, Imogen pulled away and told him, "I love you too."
Gahh! I'm not sure if this was good enough! I hate writer's block!
