Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks to whoever has read my story, i was planning on updating over the weekend but It was a crazy couple days. Make sure you guys review because it will make me happy.
I woke up to a bright white light that hurt my eyes, I squinted and the room came into focus. I was in a hospital room, a monitor beeping next to me, and a needle in my arm. I sat up and felt a pain shoot up my wrist. I looked down and saw five stiches across my wrist, the memories flooded back from last night.
I heard a groan and looked up, in the corner of the room was a sleeping Nico, he was thrashing around.
"Nico" I whispered trying to wake him, but my voice was horse. I gripped a glass of water on the table next to me and gulped it down. There was a mirror next to the water glass, I picked it up gingerly and looked into it, to see someone look back. Her eyes were dull, from sleep deprivation, a black and blue bruise covered almost have her face, resembling a hand print. She looked tired, washed out…
"Why?" Nico who was now awake and sitting upright in the chair,
"I...I" I stammered not looking in his eyes.
"You don't have to answer to me" he cut in. "I'm just glad you're alright"
I looked into his dark brown, almost black eyes, "Why do you care, you barely know me?" He got up and sat down in a chair next to my bed, and opened his mouth to respond, but I cut in.
"You wouldn't understand" I murmured, and then I saw his arms, his pale white arms. There were white scars stretching across his forearm.
"Oh" I said, in realization, I embraced him in a hug, ignoring the pain in my wrist.
"I am sorry" I whispered
Before he could respond, a nurse walked in carrying a clipboard in one hand, a glass and two pills in the other.
"Oh, sorry for interrupting…"
"No no" I cut in, sitting back up in the bed a little too quickly, andi started to feel lightheaded.
"The medicine hasn't fully worn off yet" the nurse said, walking up to my bed side "take these" she commanded handing me a glass of water and two tiny blue pills, and I quickly took them.
"When can I leave" I asked the nurse
"we need someone to sign a form, making sure you have somewhere to go and get rest, so do you have a guardian you could call" the nurse said, my blood went cold.
"Um, my stepdad, he is uh really busy so if you could just let me go, I promise ill get home and…" I said, the nurse looking unbelieving.
"She's coming with me" nico blurted out
"But uh" I was cut off by Nico giving me a stare that I knew meant to shut up.
"as long as your 16 that won't be a problem" the nurse said, as nico got out his ID and showed handed it to her, she looked it over and handed him a clip board and pen. He quickly signed it and handed it back.
"Well everything seems in order here, I'll go get you a chair, and you goes be free to go" said the nurse.
"I can walk" I said, pulling the needle out of my arm. I slung my feet off the bed and stood up. Nico walked beside me and out the front door. I stood at the front entrance as he pulled his car around front. It was shiny black Volvo, and the front plate read DethBreth. He leaned over from the front seat and opened the door, and I climbed in. the ride was mostly just a awkward silence.
"Um that was the turn to my apartment" I said
"I Know" he said calmly
"Then why didn't you turn" I said, a little annoyed.
"Because I told the nurse that you were coming with me" He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"But I have to get home, my stepdad is home by now and" I said
"I don't want you going back there" he said, I was starting to get angry now.
"What do you care, its none of your business anyway" I retort, I am now starting to yell.
"It makes it my business when I come over and you're slitting your wrists" he yells back.
I sigh and fold my arms over my chest, absent mindly messing with the hospital wristband on my arm.
It went on like this for about 10 min. till we reached a fairly large yellow house. We got out of the car and walked to the front door, I was going to knock but Nico just barged in. We walked over to a kithen counter with bar chairs and sat6 down behind the counter was a pretty lady with a springy flower dress on.
"Hello, you must be Thalia" she said putting her hand out to shake, "it's nice to meet you, Nico told me all about you" she said with a warm smile.
"Uh yea… Hi" I replied
"Uh" Nico said scratching his head, "Were gonna go upstairs" He quickly jumped and half lead half dragged me up the stairs.
His room was painted black and red, with a small desk in one corner and a bed in the other, there was a door on one wall which I guessed was his closet. Three Days Graces, Green Day, Linkin Park, and a couple bands I didn't know, posters were all over his walls.
"Three Days Graces" I said "I love their songs"
"You wanna listen to music" he said patting a spot next to him on the bed and pulling out a iPod and speakers from his desk. I walked over to him and sat down while I Hate Everything about You blared through his speakers.
"This one's my favourite" he said
"Yea mine too" I said silently singing the words. For about 5 minutes we just listened to music and enjoyed each other's company, I looked at the digital clock on Nico's side table. It read 7:39; I jumped up immediately and started down the stairs. I looked back at nico who was wide eyed and still on the bed.
"Thanks for letting me come over but I have to go" and with that I walked out the door. It was already dark out and quickly started walking down the side walk trying to make it back to the apartment. As I walked I couldn't help thinking about Nico Di Angelo, how his hair framed his face perfectly…. Stop it I scolded myself. I walked for about a mile or so, and I was only about five min. away from the apartment complex I lived in.
I started to run, my breathes turning ragged and quick. Finally the rundown apartment complex came into view; I rushed up the stairs till I was standing in front of the door for room 40D. I took a deep breathe worried about my step fathers wrath I was about to face, and I opened the door.
