The Volunteer And The
Patient
Chapter
Seventeen
Alexis'
POV
I
woke up feeling amazingly happy, until I remembered yesterday,
and I instantly went back into my depressed state. I also woke up
incredibly early - 6:30AM - Which wasn't like me at all. I
thought back to yesterday, remembering how sweet and caring Blake
was. But I guess that was all just pity. He pitied me, that was
it. We would never have anything going on between us. He had a
girlfriend, a really pretty one. The only problem, was that she
looked pretty slutty. But, if that's what Blake is in to,
then I guess I'm out of the picture. Gahh! What am I saying?!
I can never have a relationship!
Not wanting to face the world and deal with
my mixed emotions, I grabbed my laptop and turned it on. I saw
the MSN window come up, and I stared at the 'Sign In'
button, nervous. Blake wasn't in yet, but his hours started
at 8:00AM, meaning he would surely be up and getting ready. I
sighed and pressed 'Sign In' anyway.
A
conversation automatically popped up from Drake. Confusedly, I
wondered why he was up so early. I mean, that guy sleeps like a
rock! I then mentally slapped myself; Drake left an offline
message.
I
saw that he'd copied and pasted a conversation between Blake
and himself. I instantly felt nervous, but that died down when I
began hysterically laughing at Drake's comments. He was such
a cool kid!
When I read the bits Blake sent, I began to
feel hope. He didn't have a girlfriend! But I still felt
doubts about him liking me. I mean, surely he would just lie to
Drake seeing as him and I are best friends. Ugh, life is so
confusing!
I
saved the conversation because it made me laugh, and I looked to
see who was online. Then I saw his name.
Blake.
His display picture had an outline of
green, showing that he was 'avaliable'. I decided not to
talk to him, waiting for him to say something. Instead, I went
onto Facebook and looked at Blake's page. The picture of him
and his ex was replaced by a picture of him a little girl. He had
kneeled to her height and was hugging her, looking down at her
with a loving expression. The little girl was hugging him back,
while looking up at him. I clicked on it and found a few comments
from people saying how much they missed the little girl. I
frowned. What happened to her?
Drake's
POV
My iPhone vibrated underneath my pillow,
signalling that the alarm went off. I groaned and rolled over,
grabbing my iPhone and turning the alarm off. It was 7:00AM. Why
was I up this early, you ask? I knew LexRex too well, and when
she was depressed or down about something, she would get up at
silly hours of the morning. And I was going to be there to
surprise her and cheer her up until Blake got here.
I
rolled out of bed and skipped to the kitchen, all the nurses
looking at me like I was ill, especially since I wouldn't
even be conscious at this time. One in the kitchen, I began
making 3 large pancakes and covered them in dollops of golden
syrup; LexRex's favourite. I was actually a really good cook,
if I do say so myself.
I
made a glass of apple juice and carried them back into the ward.
It was then that the nurses began to understand; LexRex would
have fequent times like this. Lily smiled at me, obviously proud
at what I was doing. I smiled back and burst through LexRex's
door, seeing her staring at her laptop in a depressed looking
way.
"RISE AND SHINE MAH BOOTIFOOL CUPCAKE.
BREAKFAST IS READAYY!" I shouted, being extra loud. Not many
patients liked me on this ward..I don't know why
though..maybe it's my loudness..
"Drakeypoo, I love you so freaking
much right now."
