Chapter Three: Getting Ready
Taya's Pov:
It was the night before Pony would be leaving and it was raining. But I somehow managed to fall asleep, until about three in the morning. I always wake up early but never that early. I sat up and rubbed my eyes tiredly and gasped when an arm threw itself across my waist. "Pony?" I shook him awake and asked why he was in my bed. He rolled on his back and rubbed his eyes "it was raining real bad earlier and hospitals are already creepy without it thundering outside so I came over here. I'm used to sharing a bed since I share one with my older brother. Sorry" he was about to get up when I pushed him back down, "if you're that scared then you can stay in my bed. But make sure your out when the doc comes in to get you" he nodded and I lay back down beside him. For some reason it was really nice being that close to him. It felt right I guess.
The next morning I woke up to yelling and cheering. Pony was no longer in my bed, he was over by his surrounded by people who I'm sure were his friends. He was no longer wearing the hospital gown thingy that we had to wear; now he was in a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt. He looked good. "Could ya'll be any louder?" they looked at me and Pony shrugged and walked over to my bed and punched my shoulder playfully, "I think we can be a lot louder if we wanted to be" "you better not be or I'll beat the tar out of ya" he grinned and shoved me then walked back to his friends and I got up and brushed my hair with my fingers. I probably looked real bad and those guys were real cute! It was awful embarrassing.
"Tay? I'm getting ready to leave" I turned and looked at him, all his friends had left but I could hear them somewhere down the hall maybe. I nodded and walked over and gave him a hug. We didn't say anything after that until he was walking out the door, "bye" he waved and was about got leave when I called him back. "Yeah?" "Don't say bye. Bye means that we'll never see each other again. Say see ya cause that means soon. It's a promise that you won't leave forever." I smiled and he smiled back "you have a smile just like my moms used to be. See ya Taya" "see ya Pony" he left and my heart fell apart. What if I never see him again? What if I never talk to him again or anything! This really sucks. I threw myself back on my bed and cried silently. I'm not much of a crier.
