Chapter 26

General POV

Nonny was surrounded by all his friends, but they didn't stay long. They were sleepy too. They all left him alone. Nonny wanted to sleep too.

The next morning a nurse entered the room. Nonny woke up and saw his parents. "Mom, Dad!" He said. "Nonny! You are finally awake. Don't worry, you are safe here." They hugged it out. "Hello Nonny, good to see you awake. Here you have your super tasty hospital breakfast." "Thanks." Nonny said. The nurse left. "Well enjoy your breakfast Nonny. Unfortunately for us, we don't receive a super tasty breakfast like that. I hope you will comprehend us, but we are leaving now. We will come back and visit you often, but we are hungry now, and we need to do work from home." Nonny's mother kissed her son on the forehead. "You have your fantastic friends that will stay with you." Nonny smiled and his parents left. Short after the Guppies entered the room. "Enjoying breakfast?" "Haha funny. This sh*t is rancid." They all laughed.

It was silent now. Everyone was thinking the same thing. "Are we going to ask them what happened or forget this whole thing." "Euhm, and... How... was it?" Deema asked Oona and Nonny. "You know..." Nonny and Oona got that one. "Well, it was... terrible." Oona said sighing. "At least you had each other." Gil said. "Yes, that's true..." Oona responded. "I think it was so bad you just want to forget it and don't talk about it." Goby said. Nonny nodded. This was a clear message to the rest.

The day passed, it was noon. Now only the boys were with Nonny, talking about... "Okay boys, we need plans, plans." Gil said walking around the room. "What's the best way to confess?" "Maybe you must get inspiration from our confessions." Goby proposed. "Hmmm. Mine was basically getting my cheek cut and yours was a whole seduction operation with everyone involved. No I don't think we will do that." The boys were still thinking. Nonny was just watching a documentary about antelopes. "I've got an idea!" Goby said. "We could organize a party or sleepover with only our group." "That's a good idea. Now how will Nonny confess during the party/sleepover? Nonny! Can you please listen and participate instead of watching antelopes getting eaten by tigers?" "Those are lions Gil, but okay." Nonny shut the television. The boys continued discussing.

The girls were walking and talking about the same subject. But they couldn't find a good idea neither. They were back at Nonny's chamber. The first thing they saw was Gil waving with his hands and making bizarre moves with his arms. And screaming. "Why are you always screaming Gilly?" Molly said giggling. "Oh euh nothing. I wasn't." Gil said. Everyone was in the room. "Hey you guys wanna go out for a walk?" Deema asked the rest. "Yeah sure." Gil and Goby said. Molly agreed too. "I'm a bit tired. I will stay here." Oona said. "I can't leave my bedroom yet." Nonny said. "Okay then. We will come back soon." Deema said closing the door.

Nothing much happened. Oona and Nonny were watching the television in the room. Again a documentary about animals. Part 2 of the antelopes. The last time they did this they enjoyed it. "Maybe this is the moment." Oona thought, sitting next to Nonny. Nonny was concentrated on the screen. "Eum, did I already say thanks?" Oona said shyly. "Thanks for what?" Nonny asked and turned all his attention to Oona. "For... For saving my life." Oona said blushing. She quickly looked down. "Hèhè... Well, no problem." Nonny said awkwardly. The 2 didn't say much. "It can't be more awkward, let's go for it." Oona thought. She took a deep breath and... "Nonny!" Oona said loudly. "Uh yes Oona?" Nonny said. "I..." "It's time for your food!" A nurse said entering the room. "Cr*p." Oona thought. "I'll do it when he's done with eating."

Nonny was eating his 'delicious' hospital meal. The 2 were looking at another documentary. Now talking about fish in the Pacific Ocean. Finally, Nonny had finished his food. "You wanted to ask me something?" Nonny said remembering. Oona got some extra adrenaline in her body when she heard that. "Ah uh yes?" "Well go on." Nonny said. "Was it about the abyssal fish? The ones with the light?" "No it wasn't about the fish." Oona said stressing a bit. Nonny remained silent and waited for Oona to say something. Oona took a deep breath again. "Well, It's compli..." "Hi Nonny. I've got the x-rays of your shoulder of last week. It could be worse but within 3 weeks it will be fine. But we need to make x-rays every week to see if it's repairing in the good way. So follow me now please." "Sorry Oona, I need to go. It's not gonna last long but... yeah." Nonny left the room. Oona sighed. "Twice godd*mnit. This was the perfect occasion." Oona said being frustrated. She left the hospital and regrouped with her friends.

"Oh so you took the initiative?" Deema asked. "Yeah, the perfect moment. But then those nurses entered. Sigh." Oona said. "At least you tried. That means you have the guts..." Molly asked. "Yeah but this disgusted me." Oona responded with. "We didn't tell you but we are going to organize a sleepover when Nonny leaves the hospital. Don't worry about nurses interrupting your confession there." Molly said. "Fun idea but... I don't wanna be mean but... WE were alone. I mean... Him and I. And at the sleepover... you all will be present. Sooooo..." Oona said. Everyone nodded and giggled a bit. "We understand that. When you do your thing, we will be far, far away." Molly said. "Yeah or maybe behind the door ajar." Gil said ironically." Everyone laughed. "And where are we gonna do the sleepover?" Oona asked. "Nonny proposed at his house. His parents can't refuse that after what happened." "And when?" "We roughly said, maybe 3 days after he exited the hospital? Nonny want's to spend some times with his parents, they work at home now with this pandemic." "That's great! I'm looking forward to it!"

Aah. A positive ending, finally. Hope you liked it. Tell me your opinion about it, it's always welcome. The next chapter is going to contain a... very special event. Anyways... Stay safe!
