Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 89: Darkest Days

IAN’s POV :

Reality sank in when I woke up in the morning.

My memories came in flashes.

I was in the gallery.I was drinking a bit.I met Ally in the back office.We drank some more.

I got out of the gallery, Ally was sending me home.She kissed me.

I kissed her back.

And then I saw Emma.

She saw us too.

She ran away and I instinctively ran after her.

I was still mad at her.

My mouth had no filter.

I said some things I shouldn't have said.

I didn’t even apologize for what happened outside the gallery.

I was hit with another episode, I almost struck my hand at her.

But thank God, I didn't.

That was probably the only good thing that happened last night.

And then she left me.

I wanted to go after her, but I didn’t.

I slumped against the wall and sat under the rain for what felt like hours.

My mind and my body had betrayed me.

I might as well lay there like the trash that I was.

Ally came looking for me.

She lifted me up and hailed a cab.

She brought me to the hospital.

I was out for about three days.

When I woke up this morning, I asked the nurse what day it was and she said it was Tuesday.

As the nurse checked on my vitals, I lay on the hospital bed and replayed all the events that transpired on Saturday night.

I cringed at all the words I never meant to say to Emma, but I said it anyway.

She must really hate me right now.

"How are you feeling, Mr.Hayes?" the nurse asked.

She was an older lady, probably in her forties.

"Meh,"I shrugged.

"I've been better,"

"You'll feel better after some rest," she paused for a moment before continuing, "Your girlfriend is waiting outside to see you, would you like to see her?"

"My girlfriend?" my eyes shot up instantly.

"Yeah, she’s been waiting for you to wake up," Emma’s here? She's waiting for me? 

"I wanna see her, please,"I said to the nurse.

"Alright, I'll go get her,"she nodded to me.

I watched the nurse exited the room and my eyes were glued to the door.

I knew I had a lot of explaining and apologizing to do.

I said the worst things to her, she had every right to be mad at me.

But instead, here she was, waiting in the hospital for me.

I waited in heavy anticipation and a familiar looking girl stepped into the room.

I squinted my eyes to get a better look.It wasn't Emma.

"Hey, you're up?"

Ally smiled.

"Ally?"

She strode over to the bed and took my hand in hers, saying, "I was so worried.The doctor said you were severely dehydrated,"

"How? I was drinking the entire time,"I stifled a laugh.

"lan,"she scolded.

"Kidding,"

"Are you feeling better now?"

"I don’t know,"I sighed.
