⏳two days later ⏳.

I felt something liquid dripping down on my face, I was beginning to feel myself coming back to live, but everything was still blurry.

I noticed someone was staring at me, with the persons face above mine, but I couldn't see the person clearly.

"Wake up!! Wake up!!" I felt the person tapping my forehead and was still splashing drops of water on my face.

I was so weak and tired that I didn't want to stand up from where I was lying. And I had no idea where I was.

"Damn it, you're so weak and lazy!
Wake up hot chicks!" The person said and eased.

From that I could tell it was Jason. Nobody else called me that but him. And nobody could be as mean as he was. I quickly opened my eyes completely to see a cute wide smile on his face.

"Finally!
It was just a paint of blood, how could you pass out on that for so long?" He said with a little grin on his face.

And what did he mean by how long I was out, it must have probably been an hour or two.

"Jason!......you're alive.
You're ...." I said with so much joy. I was so happy to see he was fine.
But he was still wearing bandages on his forehead which means the wound hadn't healed completely.

" of course, what did you think.
I was gonna die? And leave you here ? Or who else were you expecting? " he asked with a little smile on the side of his face.

"And couldn't you have picked a better hospital? This place is a wreck. It smells in here.
A perfect place for poor people like you.
So don't you ever take me to a place Like this ever in your life again" he said with an angry face but his voice said different.

I frowned my face and turned away from him.

"Oh come on. Don't you try that on me cos it won't work on me.
Now get up, we're leaving.
I've already wasted days here missing school because of you" he said with a serious voice.

"What???
What day is it?" I flipped up from the bed and sat straight while I asked.

"Is Tuesday. You've been out for like 2days.
The doctors enquired that you stayed one more day.
And am sick of it, of this whole place and sick of watching over you for days now"
He said angrily and shrugged.

"Leave if you want, I don't want to go. Am really tired.
And did anyone force you to stay here with me?" I said frowning my face and acting all tough.

"I wish I could leave. And I would have done that since if I was able to. Why do you think am still in this slub?
How Dom can you be" He said with an angry silly look while pushing my head on the other side with one finger.
And then he eased.

I really didn't know what his problem was. I just saved his life and he was being rude again. Not even a simple thank you.

"Whatever. I need to rest.
So You can go, my mom will come pick me up" I said trying to force out a little smile.

" well that's not an option.
My mom is making me stay here and watch over you and she won't let me leave until you were discharged.
So we're leaving now and that's it.
In case you haven't noticed, I have a life to live out there unlike you." He said without giving me anymore chance to object.
He started removing the needles and the drips plugged to my body.

"What are you doing? Please stop.
I really don't want to go" i said whining hoping he would stop.

He finished with everything and threw my cloths to me.

"Now get dressed" he ordered me while folding his two arms together.

I sat still staring at him to know what he was going to do if I didn't do what he said.

"Didn't you hear me? I said get dressed" he said furiously but in a cute way. He was always cute even when he was upset.

"No. Am not going anywhere" i dared him. Folding my two arms too and frowning.
Two can play at that game.

But before I knew it. He pulled me from my legs and I was going to fall.
I quickly grabbed the wooden end of the bed and held unto my dear life.

"Stop...stop it. Am going to fall!" I shouted on top of my voice but he didn't stop.

"We're leaving now!" He shouted back.

"OK OK...fine..just let me go.
I'll get dressed. Just put me down!"
I pleaded and he finally dropped my two legs violently and folded his two arms and was waiting for me to get dressed.

" hmmph" I sluggishly got up from the bed and hmmphed him as I walked pass him and into the ladies room.
He is so stubborn and selfish. He saw that I wasn't medically clear and it still didn't border him.

Immediately i walked out of the dressing room and in about 6mins.
He turned his back and was about to walk out of the room and was expecting me to follow him.

I stopped and he stopped and looked back at me.

"What is it now?" He asked impatiently.

"You know you almost died right? And all thanks to me.
So Would it hurt to you go just appreciate what other people do for you sometimes. And be a little bit more nice." I said folding my hands and standing still not moving from my position.

" can you at least be my friend?" I asked humbly with a little sad smile on my face.

He was just staring at me and didn't say a thing for a while.

"Is something wrong with you? I don't have all day you know?
And from what I know, you don't tell people when to show sympathy or appreciation.
And after all I didn't ask for your help in the first place.
Now can we get the heck out of here?" He said hastily.

I got upset about how ungrateful he was. I turned my face trying not to show how hurt I was by his comment.

Then I felt him grabbing my hand fiercely and pulled me unto him. Then his hands wrapped around my waist as he turned me around to face him.
It was Jason. He hugged me so close and tight against his body making me loose myself.

"Thank you so much for saving my life Emmi!. And am really sorry if I was mean to you.
You saved me Emmi. And I am forever grateful for that.
That is why we are now officially friends" he whispered in my ears and I felt something like water drop on me. And this time I did think it was water.

Was Jason really crying?
At least this was a start. We're now friends.

"Thank you so much Emmi!" He said in a whisper still hugging me tighter and now resting his head on my shoulders.

From the way he held me. It was so close and tight, i didn't think he was going to let me go anytime soon.

I was so speechless and breathless. My heart was beating so fast from hearing those words come out of his mouth. And the way he was holding me. They were so flattering.
