Oona POV:
Nonny stayed hospitalized for about 4 days. Each day afterschool, I would go to the hospital and stay with him. I read the lessons that he missed, talk to him, and leave. What saddened me the most about my visits? He was always asleep.
At school, I was still being bullied and beaten, but I tried my hardest to not let it get to me. I didn't want my dad to have to worry about anything, so any wounds that I got, I covered it up with makeup and excuses.
When Nonny got out of the hospital, he acted like he was fine. But we didn't speak. 1 day without speaking felt like 1 month. 2 days felt like a year. I wanted him back so badly, but I didn't want to become a burden or problem.
Then, I found a note inside of my locker. It was from Nonny. My head went light and I felt a burst of relief rush through me.
Although it hasn't been a long time, I miss him. I miss talking with him and being with him.
"Meet me at stairwell."
I quickly ran to the stairwell and found him there. He was just standing on a couple of steps and we stared at each other. I wanted to speak to him so bad, but words couldn't get out of my mouth. It seemed like it was the same with Nonny.
Couldn't stand it any longer. I ran up the stairs and ran to him and started hugging him and sobbing.
"Nonny! D-d-didn't I tell you to n-never leave me?" I sobbed.
"Just because the pain will be gone for you, don't you know it'll hurt others?!" I cried.
I was angry, hurt, and also felt strangely relieved.
My head was buried in his shoulders and no matter how many times I tried to wipe away my tears, they kept rolling down my face.
"I missed you. . ." I whispered.
Then, after a moment he lifted my head and said, "I'm sorry. I'm never ever leaving you. No matter what."
We stared at each other for a moment and then he pressed his lips against mine.
I kissed him back, never wanting to pull away.
Oh my god. I had so much writer's block. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the story for a moment!
