[76] Let Go
[Amara's P.O.V]
"So how are you feeling about going back home tomorrow Amara?" Chase asks. I'll admit that it kind of feels weird calling him that instead of Dr Fegurson but I already agreed to call him Chase and it's not even a big deal. His age makes it less awkward and less weird which I'm thankful for.
"Really excited. No offence but this place is really unpleasant to be in."
He lets out a deep chuckle "Isn't every hospital?"
I laugh with him "I just want to go already."
"Lucky for you, you're only hours away."
I take a brief glance at him, his white and unstained coat with a name tag on the top pocket. His usual file in hand and stethoscope hanging around his neck. The way he walks around looking proud to be in the attire makes him really admirable and he makes being a doctor look fashionable. His age still puzzles me, he's the youngest qualified doctor I've probably ever seen.
"Can I ask you a question?" My voice comes out squeaky and I hate it...I'm blaming it on the medication.
"Yes Amara."
"How did you know that being a doctor was for you?" My question seems to catch him off-guard and he stops his movements to look at me. I hope he has no problem with me asking this personal question.
"It's something that I've had an interest in for as long as I remember. I think I get it from my parents since they are both medical doctors as well, my mom is still working but my father retired last year." He answers, seeming really proud to be talking about his parents and I don't miss the adoring face that covers his features. "To answer your question, I've always had a passion in wanting to help people. Saving a person's life brings me felicity you know. The relieved expression on the faces of a patient's family is something I've wanted to cause for a long time, and I finally have." He finishes before shaking himself out of his temporary trance and stands up.
"Wow. That's wonderful." I can't find words and he flashes me a smile.
"Thank you. What do you want to do once you get to varsity? I'm assuming that's where you want to go. And you still in high school right, doing senior year I suppose? My file here says you're seventeen so I just-" I cut him out of his rambling.
"Yeah, I'm doing senior year. I want to major in English Literature once I get to university."
He looks taken away "Wow that's great. My younger sister who's just a year older than you does the same but she's studying in London."
I'm about to reply when the nurse I'm now used to seeing walks in. "Doctor, you're needed on the second floor once you're done with Ms Hart." She says, her voice formal.
"Okay I'll be right there." He informs her and she nods before walking away. He turns to me once the nurse is away.
"Duty calls. I'll see you later Amara." He smiles, retrieves his file and walks out.
A few minutes after Chase's departure, I'm bored out of my mind and I almost jump up and down when Justin arrives.
I'm surprised by everything he has with him though.
In his hands and arms are big get well soon balloons of different shapes, sizes and colours. A huge white teddy bear is balanced against his arm and his chest, somehow he is also holding a basket full of sweets and different types of chocolate bars.
"Justin what's all thi-" He cuts me off by bending down to press his lips against mine. The taste of alcohol from last night in his mouth is gone.
"I was gonna ask what's all this for?" I ask, pointing to everything he's holding when he pulls away from our kiss and I can't hide my blush.
He smiles "You're cute you know that?"
"This is for you, who else would it be for?" He answers, pretending like I'm even crazy for asking.
"It was not necessary." It's kind of sweet that he brought me all this. Who am I kidding it's not kind of, it's really sweet of him to bring me all this but it still wasn't necessary. "You already won my heart baby."
His eyes widen and he drops everything to the floor and places a hand on his heart dramatically. I laugh and soon he laughs with me.
"But I'm serious cakes. I feel like a fool for not buying you all this shit earlier. You've been stuck in this plain as fuck hospital room."
I smile "It didn't matter because you were here most of the time so quiet frankly, it wasn't so plain."
"Okay that's enough cheesy shit." He laughs and picks up the balloons and hangs some on the corner of the bed before hanging others on the door handle.
"Speaking of cheesy." I tease him and he rolls his eyes, a smile that I like to see stuck to his face.
"Despite the fact that I'm not gonna be in here for long to see them, thank you for getting me all these." I wave my hand to the room that no doubt looks much better now.
"I'm keeping the teddy bear though." I say when my eyes land on it.
"Of course you are baby. Now scoot over."
It takes me a moment to realize what he's taking about but I catch on and make space for him on the bed.
"I've missed you." He says once he is next to me on the bed. He wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me incredibly close to him. Our faces are level with each other and I study every feature on his face, memorizing every detail.
"You know, I'm really glad that you're coming back tomorrow." His voice sounds hoarse now and low...
"So am I." I reply
"I can't wait to hold you like this in my arms in our own bed, not this small and uncomfortable bed they've put you in." The last part of his sentence makes me laugh and he smiles. I can't help but feel giddy at the thought of us being like this on our bed at the apartment, holding each other without any interruptions.
Justin is so much more relaxed today than he was when he left. Did he already go to his mum's place? He must've because he told me that he was going to go before coming here.
"When did you buy all this?" I ask him, referring to the balloons, teddy bear and candy.
"Before I came here."
"Did you come here with a cab?" I say, remembering that he left here last night using a cab. Where is his car anyways?
"Where's your car?" I ask.
"You ask too many questions Amara." He groans and I look at him.
"Okay fine." He rolls his eyes playfully. "No I didn't come here with a cab, my mom drove me to where my car was and I drove myself here. Happy?"
"Where was it?"
"What?"
"Your car."
He shifts uncomfortably and I look at him to make sure he doesn't even think about lying. "It was where I was last night, this pub."
He has masked himself and I can't tell whether he's lying or telling the truth. But he's not lying because why would he? He is kind of acting suspicious if I'm honest but it's probably because he still feels guilty about leaving and the panic attack and all, not to mention that he's still trying to fight off the reason I'm here.
"Why did you come back last night? Why didn't you just go back home?" My mouth speaks before I can do anything.
"Because I wanted, I needed to see you. Baby I don't wanna talk about last night anymore if that's cool." He says, looking uncomfortable and avoiding my gaze.
I decide to not press further and I instead rest my head on his shoulder. "I won't talk about it then."
***
Monday is finally here I'm so happy that I'm leaving this hospital. My body feels much better amd I can now walk on my own without limping. It's the best feeling ever to finally feel like myself again.
Justin went back home yesterday to bring me clothes that I'm now wearing. I'm on the edge of the bed waiting for him to come and pick me up. It feels good to be in my own clothes again and not the hospital gown Justin made fun of countless times.
It feels good that I'll be in my own bed with Justin tonight and not here.
The door opens and the face I wanna look at right now comes to view. Dr Fegurson is behind Justin.
His face is straight but brightened when he sees me, eyes shamelessly raking over my body.
"You ready to go Amara?" Chase asks and I nod.
"Alright you just have to sign these documents over here and then you're free to go." He informs me and I just put my signature wherever he points on the discharge papers.
Justin takes the small bag he brought the clothes with yesterday that's now filled with the uneaten candy he bought for me.
The balloons are gone and I don't know where they went but I take my huge teddy bear in my arms when it's time to leave.
"Bye Chase." I wave at him and stop myself from hugging him because I know Justin will lose his shit. He was weirdly keeping quiet since they came inside the room but he's been glaring at Chase.
"Bye Amara, try not to come back please." He jokes but...
I see Justin walking over to him and shoves him.
"Justin let's go, it was a joke." I try to pull him by his arm. He doesn't budge but after a few attempts, he takes the bag back in his hand and moves away from Chase. I give him apologetic eyes and he nods before I walk to Justin's side.
"Can we just fucking leave already?" He complains.
The nurse walks in with a wheelchair and tells me to sit on it.
"No I'm okay I can walk by myself." I take steps around to assure her that I can in fact walk and won't need a wheelchair.
"Okay I'll just take it back then." She says and walks out.
"Take care Amara." Chase says as he walks out as well and I slightly smile.
"Justin we should probably go now, I acmt wait to get home." I smile brightly. His temporary foul mood faltering.
He smiles and picks me up bridal style. I yelp and he chuckles, eyes looking at me while I'm trying to not make the teddy bear fall as he begins to walk out of the hospital room that has been my home for over a week.
I'm ready to let go.
