I am so so sorry for the HUGE wait, I'm currently writing for (probably more) 5 books whoops. One of those is a rewriting of this one but here's a warning already: it's kinda more depressed, I'm sorry can't help it I just think that that adds a more drama to it, and I think I'm getting depressed too (I'm having problems at home) and I'm trying really hard to not fall into that hole(I'm sorry to bother you with my personal problems btw). But here's the new chapter, so I'm going to stop talking and have fun reading!
Eric POV
When I arrived at the hospital they said it was nothing. Just like Sam said. The one thing I needed was stitches. So I sat on a chair when the needle came in my cheek. "Think about something else, then it is over before you know it" the nurse said. Nell. Just think about her. Think about the kiss. You can't kiss her. I just did. We're probably gonna need to talk about it. Jep, we're gonna talk about it. Just because I like to kiss her whenever I want. When she says something smart. When she's smiling that beautiful smile. When we come into work. Please stop. Okay okay, I'll stop. "It's done, you can go home" the nurse her voice brought me out of my thoughts. "Thanks" I said and walked away.
It took me a few moments to get my knuckles to Nell her door, but when they came there I knocked three times. "It's open!" Nell her voice came out of her kitchen. "Soooooo, how ya doing now?" I asked her once I was in her house. "Really Beale? You just saw me a few hours ago" she chuckled. "I want to know how ya feeling" I said with a smirk. "I'm fine. 'It's nothing' well clearly it is something, 'cause you have stitches" she quoted my line from a few hours before. "They said it was nothing, but I needed stitches" I said as she run her thumb over it. "I'm gonna be okay" I said with a smile. "I know, just checking" she smiled. God. Again that beautiful smile. Is she torturing me or something? 'Cause everything she smiles it feels like my chest is gonna explode. And she just stood there. Smiling.
"What's going on in that brain of yours?" I asked still smiling because she was smiling, and then I couldn't help but smile too.
"Just picking a movie we can watch" she said.
"Star wars? Or Indiana Jones?" I teased her.
"Stop teasing me because I have the same back name as him" she said with fake anger.
"It's fun" I said grinning.
"Why don't you have some weird character that got the same name as you?".
"Because my name is special".
"Sure it is, Mister Beale".
"Yes Misses Jones"
"Okay, so now I'm married. To who?"
"What do you think?"
"Jerk"
"You're married to Indiana Jones".
"Yep, sure thing. You're married to the girl next door" she said grinning. It took me a few seconds to realize her joke.
"God noooo, that woman is 90 years old". She laughed and I couldn't help but laugh too.
"Harry Potter then?" I asked knowing that she would quote every line they would say.
"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good" she grinned.
"Aaanndd the game begun".
"You get the popcorn, I get the movies".
"Deal". And with that I walked to the kitchen for the popcorn. When it was popping I turned away to look at Nell. What I didn't know was that I forgot to close to the pan and that every thing was flewing around. "O god, shit" I said and she turned around. She laughed and I started to laugh too. "You're horrible" she managed to say between laugh bubbles. She was still laughing when she walked over to me and closed the pan. "You just saved it" I smirked and she looked at me. "What?" I asked her after a minute when she was still looking at me. "Just glad you survived it all" she smiled and kissed my cheek before she walked away. I just stood there, dumbfounded. "You're planning on standing there the whole night, Beale?" She laughed. "Maybe I was" I smiled and sat down next to her on the couch. "Which part do you wanna watch?" She asked me while flicking trough all of her Harry Potter movies. "Deathly hallows part 2" I said and she smirked at me. "What? I just like that part" I said and she started the movie.
There's a switch of write style here btw. I tried my best to keep it quite the same, just a bit better
As the film almost ended I stood up, carefully not trying to drop anything, and put the used stuff away.
"Hey wake up sleepyhead" I whispered to Nell when I was back by the couch. She fell asleep during the movie, right there on your lap, I didn't mind her, she also had a tough day. Not tougher then you.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep" she said and got off the couch.
"No it's fine, we all had a tough day"
"You had the toughest"
"I've had worse days"
"It must have been hard to face your mom again after all those years" Nell whispered as she stood close to you. "Why didn't you just told me? You know I'm here for you, right?" She continued.
I looked at her and walked away to the kitchen. It wasn't something I'd like to talk about, I was trying to forget it, forget about everything that happened back then. I just wanted to remember the good moments, not the bad ones.
"Eric-" Nell tried before I cut her off.
"Nell it's not something I like to talk about. Can we just skip it and move on? I'm tired, I want to sleep " I said, trying to change her mind. But that was impossible, once Nell Jones has something on her mind, you can't change her thoughts.
"Tomorrow we're going to talk about it" she said and I nodded as I grabbed her hand and lead her to the bedroom. She changed in the bathroom but I didn't even had the energy to stand up anymore, so I just dropped myself on the bed and fell asleep, not even hearing Nell come back in and chuckling while she dropped herself next to me.
