VIOLET'S POV

Its been two weeks and four days since I woke up and also a week since the Doctor's decided to keep me under their strick watch. All because I was termed suicidal.

What a joke!

I am finally going home! One thing I just want to do is to get out of this hospital and inhale normal oxygen. Not this drug filled nonsense they call oxygen here.

Through out my stay, Mum and Dad have visited but only for a couple of hours which I am grateful for.

Normally, they'd be so busy. I'm grateful they're here but it kills me that they're here for such a reason.

Do you know what it means to have a bestfriend? I don't think you do. Let me tell you.

A bestfriend is someone that doesn't care about what people say, that goes out five times in the mid night just because you kept craving for weird snacks.

A bestfriend is that goofy, good looking basketball captain that makes you smile. That one person that can be your brother, confidant, bestfriend and still make sure that you take your pills.

The bestfriend anyone can ever have is mine already and he goes by the name...

Ace.

He has been the best person in my life so far. Even with the mood swings and sudden rush of emotions, when I have my moments and I scream, when I feel numb and I stare all day, when I burst into tears for no reason.

He's been here 24/7. Do you know what hurts the most? Knowing that Queen is also in a hospital battling cancer. Yet he's here.

That makes me weep bitterly.

Guess what? Mike has only been here four times for not up to an hour.

Funny right?

Listen to his excuse.

Chloé and I need quality time so we go on dates.

Puh-lease. Dates? Everyday? What a joke.

"Hey. You're thinking again." Ace said is the most nerve soothing voice I've ever heard.

He walked over to the bed with a genuine grin plastered to his face and said,"We're going home. Tonight."

Oh my effing gawdddd

I smiled widely and slowly turned to Ace who looked like he won a lottery.

Seeing both of us, you'd probably think Ace was the one being discharged.

"Are you for real?" I whispered.

He stifled a giggle,"Yeah. Wanna explore?"

"Sure. But no clothes." I whispered as I stared into his grey orbs.

He placed a fancy bag on my laps,"Get changed. Let us go to the new French restaurant."

"Ace? You asking me on a..."

I inhaled more than enough breath and added a little a dramatic pause and said,"Date."

"Whatever you call it mi lady." Whispering, he took my hand and kissed it not breaking eye contact.

"Hey! When did you get so cheesy?" I asked laughing loudly as he watched me intently and with admiration.

What on Earth was I thinking when I jumped the bridge?

"Well, a man gotta do what he gotta to to get his girl." Ace stated proudly.

"Ouuuu. My baby!!" I squealed.

"Hey. Take it easy. I don't want you getting hurt because of me again." He said and placed his hand over mine.

That killed me. The guilt in his voice. His voice. His beautiful voice. Always laced with regret.

"Whatever. Girl just wanna have fun fun fun." I screamed making him laugh loudly.

Holy fuck! How did I not hear this before?

I think I just wet my hospital gown cos that laughter of his is doing crazy things to me.

"Lets see what we have here. Shall we?"

"I think I'm going to leave you to do that on your own. I don't want you destroying my eardrums today." He said making my eyes go wide.

"Ace." I called out dangerously.

"I'm out." He shouted and closed the door gently.

No no no! I don't want to believe he did that.

I picked the fancy bag slowly, like my life depended on it. I heaved a sigh trying to re-assure myself as my hands were already shaking.

I pulled out two boxes as I tried to calm down.

I opened the first box and there it was. Staring at me.

His grey hoodie.

I carefully placed the hoodie over my chest, inhaled his scent deeply and moaned. I have two scores of his hoodies, sweaters and shirts but this hoodies was IT for me.

Ask me why.

I was going to tell anyway. This is his favourite. I wrapped his hoodie around my shoulders and pulled out-

A sticky note dropped.

I want to keep you warm and comfortable.

This may be extremely cheesy but damn the butterflies in my stomach.

I pulled out the next box. It was a very small box. I opened it and found a with Violet engraved on it in calligraphy.

I think I'm gonna explode soon.

It also had a pair of earrings with letter V on it. Finally, my eyes landed on a golden piece of jewel.

It was a necklace and I curse my hormones for what I did next.

I cried. Not a sad one but a happy one. I felt so fresh, relieved, alive and new.

Violet was engraved on it and it made my heart soar.

It was made for me.

The next thing I saw shook me to my bones.

A bracelet and a charm.

Fashion check.

Another note,

"If you ever feel bad, call me. I promise to song for you. Then you can decide what's worst."

That made me chuckle.

Then I opened the final box and  saw a new bra and a pair of new underwear.

Cringe.

A black crop top and black joggers stared at me with a white pair of sneakers.

Then I came to a conclusion.

I need to meet whoever Ace's girl is going to be cos if she breaks his heart I promise her; I'd crush her soul.

I wore each piece of clothing material and jewellery slowly as I admired myself in the mirror. I packed my hair into a ponytail and decided to ring Ace.

As soon as I rung Ace, he walked in and said,"I never left."

And God knows that statements alone caused a festival in my heart.

"I guess I'm ready." I said smiling shyly.

"No make and still looking stunning." He said.

"Hey, I try." I said trying to avoid what his voice was doing to me.

Am I falling for my bestfriend? It doesn't work that way in books or movies.

"Thanks for everything Ace. For always being here for me. For never giving up. For always-"

"You don't need to thank me." He says roughly and he's now right in front of me.

I just noticed we were wearing matching outfits.

So cool!!

He stared deep into my eyes and I felt he was staring at my soul. He was searching my eyes and drinking in every inch of me.

"Ace-"

"Shhhhh..." He silenced me with his index finger on my lips and closed the gap between us.

"What are you doing to me Violet?" He rasped.

"Ace I-" I moaned but kept shut.

My insides are quivering.

His finger left my lips while he traced my left hand and left a kiss on my palm not breaking eyes contact.

I left out a breathy sigh and buried my head in his chest. His hand found its way to the small of my back and rested it comfortably.

"You've been driving me crazy Vio. Can't imagine- don't want to lose you." He said, his voice getting thicker.

I raised my head up only to be met with his piercing gaze. He broke eye contact and looked at my lips with a small smile and I did the same.

Like I was under a spell, I wrapped my hands around his neck making him give me a knowing smirk.

He closed up the little gap between us as he brushed his lips against mine.
As cliche as this may sound, my knees went weak.

As I was about to slip, he lifted me and placed me on the table positioning himself in between my legs.

He cupped my face in his large palms and went in for another kiss.

On instinct, I wrapped my legs around his waist making him smile in between the kiss. He teased me by withdrawing and I leaned into him an teased him by kissing him on the spot between his neck and shoulder.

He grunted in approval as he left a trail of kisses on my neck making me moan and tug his hair.

All of a sudden, he froze.

And that scared the hell out of me.

He backed away looking at the floor and said,"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

"It was a mistake." He said and I looked at him as I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

He let out a pained laughter,"I'm a fool. Just sexual tension."

He said and blinked thrice in a row and I knew that was a lie.

I felt my heart compress and I looked out of the window trying to bite back my tears.

"It happens. Lets forget about it and enjoy tonight." I said as a tear graced my cheek.

Way to go Ace! Thanks for ruining the night.

"I'll be downstairs." He said and dashed out of the room leaving me and my messed up heart.

"I'm a fool." I muttered angrily as the tears kept on falling.

The door opened and a nurse dropped wipes and some make up with a sad smile.

I thanked her and applied a little amount of make up.

I looked at the mirror and said,"Get it together. You are strong."
