I woke up feeling better than the first time when I regained consciousness. Dr. Andrew is checking my pulse and monitor and noting down everything. There is no one in the room other than the Doctor, nurse and me. I wonder where zayreen and all went. Dr. Andrew asked some questions about what i’m feeling right now or iam in any pain. I told him that everything is fine and there is nothing going on right now and I just want to take some rest.
After making sure that everything is right Dr. Andrew left the room with the nurse following him. My eyes are feeling heavy and closing on their own, I woke up just now but still I want to sleep. Before I slipped into my sleep completely I heard the door opening and closing and felt the familiar warmth and scent surrounding me.
There was no one when I woke for the second time, it felt like i’m blacking out and gaining consciousness laying on the hospital bed. it felt like iam just gaining consciousness and blacking out repeatedly. I hear voices near the door arguing among themselves and I know whom they belong to. I tried to reach for the water glass on the nightstand beside me but I was unable to reach it. I tried once again but again I failed to reach it. I groaned feeling helpless, tears brimming in my eyes. I never felt this much helpless ever.
” You would have pressed the button beside your head” a familiar voice said and I know whom it belongs to.
” Sorry I just don’t want to bother you guys anyway” I replied guiltily lowering my head. Because of me they are in this situation waiting for me to gain consciousness and get well. They moved aside everything for me. I just felt very guilty knowing that they neglected their uni and work for me as well as I am grateful that I am surrounded by these people.
“Ughhh stop with your sad dialogues scar, we are best friends for life and this is nothing. So stop feeling guilty and let us do what we want and that is to make sure you are okay and comfortable” Eli said glaring at me jokingly handed me the glass and helped me to drink.
” thank you Eli for being so stubborn that day in the library to make me your friend, i am really lucky to have a friend like you, I love you” I said tearing up.
” Awwww don’t cry scar, crying is not good for your health. So stop crying and give me your pretty smile” Eli said making silly faces at me. I am really lucky to have him as a friend.
“Eli you traitor! You know that we are waiting outside right? Still you didn’t come outside and inform us that Scarlett is awake? Lilly yelled, entering the room and throwing daggers at eli.
“Ummm I’m sorry guys, I kind of forget that you guys are waiting outside”. Eli said sheepishly, scratching his neck and avoiding their eyes.
” whatever Blondie, I know from the start that you have amnesia and you are dumb and now it proved that iam right from the start” zay said smirking and scoffing at very angry looking Eli.
” Guys seriously your bickering is becoming petty and boring. Stop this is hospital security will throw you two out” Lilly said pushing Eli and zay away and making her way to me.
” I’m so sorry scar, I wasn’t there to save you from stumbling down the stairs and it must be too painful for you right now. I’m sorry scar” Lilly said, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.
” Yeah I’m sorry too scar for not being there for you and making you lose your consciousness because of my loud mouth” zay said tearing up.
“Guys stop, no one is at fault and don’t apologise for the things you didn’t do and it just happened. Now forget about it and give me a hug, I missed you guys alot” I said, spreading my arms wide for them to hug me. It is making my ribs ache but I can endure the pain for my best friends.
” We love you scar and we miss you too” they said in unison while hugging. I had a huge smile on my face surrounded by my friends and their familiar warmth. I Am feeling safe with them. I never want to leave them. I will always make my place in thier life and I will always make a place in my life for them too. They had become my family.
I have a huge grin on my face watching my three best friends infront me. I felt content and relaxed Seeing them fighting and bickering with each other and making each other laugh with their craziness but still i’m feeling like something is missing and I know why.
Omer didn’t visit me till now. It’s been hours since I woke up but still there is no sign of him. I started feeling like he doesn’t care about me that’s why he didn’t visited but my stupid heart is making reasons for him.
“Stop! You stupid heart, you should me by side not his side ” I grumbled loudly alerting my friends. They looked at me weirdly and worried, probably thinking that I hit my head too hard and lost it.
“You okay scar?” Eli asked.
“Yeah i’m okay umm I’m just mumbling something randomly” I suttered while replying. Now they definetly think that I lost my mind. Ughhh why! He better show up now before I murder him. I grumbled planning every way to make my plan work.
I guess I don’t have to go to jail because at last mr. Omer yousuf did me a favour by visiting me. He is looking very disturbed and distracted but quickly covered it with his usual blank face. I wanted to ask him what was bothering him but I refrained myself from asking anything in front of everyone.
He is making his way to me with his warm smile. My stomach is in haywire, not only butterflies but the whole damn zoo is running wild in my stomach. He is making me hot and nervous at the same time. I never knew one person can make me feel so many things at one time. I Am feeling scared, anxious, nervous, shamelessly turned on and mostly happy and content that he is here with me.
” How are you? Are you in any kind of pain? Do I have to call the doctor? He Is asking all the questions at one time. But I’m not complaining because i’m kind of like his worry towards me. His worried Brown eyes are very mesmerising to look into.
I snapped out of my daze when he touched my forehead to check if i’m burning up. I lowered my head feeling shameful that i am thinking all kind of stuff in this situation.
” umm i’m fine omer. I’m just sore but i’m okay” i said dodging his eyes.
” Okay then, take some rest, you have been sitting for a while now” omer said while lowering my bed.
” Yeah i’m sleepy too. My eyes are getting droopy” I said, yawning suddenly feeling very sleepy. I guess the medicine is making me sleep more.
“Bye scar take care ”
” take care babe ”
“Bye scar, good night ” Lilly, Eli and zay greeted me before they left. I waved at them, too sleepy to answer them back.
“Omer”?
“Hmmm”?
“Are you leaving too?”.
” No i’m not leaving you alone anymore”
” Uhh what is that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing just go to sleep Rose”
“Rose?”
“Good night and I promise to be beside you when you wake up” I felt his lips on my forehead. My heart fluttered hearing his words and his name for me.
With a silly smile on my face sleep slowly consumed me.
