“We can’t help what we feel,” I say. “I think it’s normal to have some feelings for a person you’ve spent so much time with.”
“True. It would have been strange if we didn’t, right?”
“Right.”
“So, you won’t mind if I do something?” she asks.
“Like what?”
She leans over and kisses me.
I know I’m drugged, because I don’t stop her. Not just right away but not at all. Instead I lean over and kiss her back and I’m not even sure why I did it. Nostalgia. Stress. Benzoylmethylecgonine. Pick one.
There’s a loud thumping on our window and Ashley rolls it down. A woman stands there, I notice a little late that she’s dressed like a nurse, and she’s the one who has been doing all that loud thumping. “What is it?” Ashley asks.
The woman gestures to the Altoid tin and to us. “You can’t do all of this,” she says, angrily. “Here. This is hospital property.”
It’s clear that she doesn’t just mean the drugs.
She saw us kissing.
“We’re not…” Ashley starts to speak and gestures to me. “It’s not what it looks like.”
“Don’t tell what it looks like,” the nurse says. “I know.”
She angrily stomps away from the car.
“Fuck,” Ashley says.
I can’t stop laughing.
Ashley sees me and starts laughing as well.
“Why do we always get caught?” I ask.
“Because we’re not careful,” Ashley says, wrapping away the tin and its contents. “Let’s just go before she alerts someone to our presence.”
I turn to Ashley. “I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have done that, I don’t know what came over me.”
“Don’t be sorry,” Ashley says. “It wasn’t your fault. I started it.”
“But we shouldn’t.”
“You’re right. We really shouldn’t.”
Mia is in a damn hospital room and you’re kissing some ex and having drugs. The two things Mia is going to hate when she wakes up.
Wakeup
MIA
I open my eyes, expecting to find Teague but there’s no sign of him anywhere.
“Mia?” Jamie says and I have to find comfort in the fact that at least she’s here. “How’re you doing now?”
“Better,” I say. “The doctor says it was just a scratch. Nothing to be afraid of. I’ll probably get discharged soon.”
“It’s still scary isn’t it?”
