Betilla's POV

Okay I stood there and watched as they rushed him to the emergency room. Different thoughts were racing through my head . I tried to stay calm . I couldn't lose another person. Not again. I rushed back to my car and tried to get my breath . Once my breathing calmed down , I texted Mae.

I know , I've not been the best of friend but come on . Cut me some slack. I'm supposed to come over to sleep . But I won't . I'm fine staying in my car overnight. Have a splendid night!

I didn't know how to feel at that moment . So yes I waited in my car . I stomached my burger and sighed as I felt sleep come through. So I slept .

Now I don't know why the fuck some people will turn on their headlights to the highest. Come on, I don't need blinding lights to wake me up . I frowned when I saw it was Venus that did it and she was leaving . Why? Is something wrong? Without thinking, I rushed out of my car and into the hospital. The nurses were surprised to see that I was still there .

I asked about him and they showed me his ward . I smiled at them before taking off . I knocked first but he didn't answer so I entered . I sighed when I saw that he was still asleep . He had an IV in and also a blood bag attached . I noticed his hand . What could have happened? Leaving those thoughts behind, I rushed to him.

I took in his resting figure . I was kind of less worried because he looks fine apart from the paleness and the IV's on him . I had a feeling he was going to have a nasty scar there . I ran my fingers over his cheek and I found myself leaning down. I froze . Few seconds passed and I finally let my lips land on his forehead. Like he did for me in the ambulance. I grabbed a seat and sat next to him . Yes , he was unconscious but I still cared . I intertwined our hands and enjoyed the feeling . Although , I didn't miss the fact that he tightened his hands against mine . I smiled .

I whipped out my phone to check if Mae had replied . She did. But then, I looked up and saw Archer staring at me with those intriguing eyes . I paled and my eyes widened . I planned to stay when he was asleep and leave when he was starting to wake . Sigh . Busted . His head tilts down at our linked hands . A chill slides down my spine and I found trouble swallowing. His fingers retract from mine quickly and I frowned at the fact.

"I'm going to pretend you weren't just holding my fucking hand baby girl ." His first words were . I didn't know why but I was pained . I stood up and tried to make conversation. "How are you feeling?" He rose his perfect eyebrow. "Pass."

He looked down at his hand and his IV . Then he looked around for Venus. His eyes went to me. "Where's Venus and why are you here?" He questioned. "Does she know you're here?"

I hesitated ." I saw when they brought you in. I was in the hospital for oxygen therapy and I saw that it was you . So I decided to check up on you. Nope Venus doesn't know."

He looked out his window. "Betilla , it's late . Why exactly are you still here?" Okay , that question got me hanging . I looked at my feet . "I was scared that I would lose you too. I wanted to make sure you were alright ." I looked back at him and his facade cracked a bit before it turned into an emotionless one .

"It's better you leave. Betilla." He said looking away. My jaw dropped . Was he really serious? Did he not want my care? "Just go."

I shook my head as I walked out . Great! I actually planned to sleep with him in his ward but now that's a boohoo. I trudged myself back to my car or should I say my bedroom. I opened the door and glanced at his window. I could swear , I saw his blonde hair there before he left . I felt that bubbly feeling in my belly again. Sigh.

Once I was comfortable in my back seat , I opened the message Mae sent back.

K

That broke what ever remained of my heart . I didn't expect that she could depart from me brutally like this . It hurt . Real bad . But then my phone buzzed with a new message.

"Go home Betty." I smiled immediately. Knowing that he was watching me , I turned in my position. I typed back a response quickly .

"Are you supposed to be up?"

I face palmed myself immediately I sent it . That sounded way cooler in my head . Sigh . He started typing something but then he stopped . As usual .

Do people hate me?
