Chapter Seventeen

"Doctor, is he okay?" Ross asked. The doctor nodded, with a serious face. "Yes, the patient is fine. He is resting for a while, but the nurse will call you if he wakes up. Excuse me." she said and left. Ross released a sigh of relief and sat down next to me. 

I pat his back, comforting him. "He's going to be okay." I said, giving him a grin. "Yeah, I know." he said, facing the ground with a weak smile. I took a glance of Andrew's room, confusion taking over me. "Why did his head hurt?" I mutter in thin air. 

At the corner of my eye, I saw Ross stiffened. He heard me, I thought. "He just had a headache." he said coldly, but I know he's hiding something. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Just a headache? Then why bring him to a hospital?" I asked. 

"You don't have to know that." he said, now facing me. "Why not?" I asked, growing suspicious time by time. "Are you hiding something from me?" He looked at Andrew's room and back at me, hesitation all over his face. "You just can't, okay? I don't want hurt you to get hurt." he sighed, and walked away.

I bit my lip, as my eyebrows narrowed. I don't understand, I thought. I ran after him, but I'm not even close when a middle-aged man walked towards him. "Tell me what happened." the man spoke in a intimidating tone. Ross turned around and looked at me for a brief moment. 

'I'll be back', he mouthed and walked away with the man. I'm guessing it's Andrew's father. He has the same features like him, but not completely. His eyes maybe came from his mother. Even though I have never saw his mother, I'm sure she's a goddess. 

"Hey, lady?" a small voice called me from behind me. I turned around and saw a little boy, smiling widely. I knelt down, leveling his face with mine. "Yes, little boy? Are you lost?" I asked. He shook his head as his smile stretched. He reached his hand out, and there I saw that he's holding a red tulip.

"It's for you, beautiful lady." he said, putting in in my head gently. "My stupid big brother said, that if I didn't give this to you, he will kill Angela." he pouted, making me chuckle. "Who is Angela?" I asked. "She's my best friend." he blushed, and looked away. This kid is too cute, I thought.

"Well, if your big brother really kills Angela, feed him to the monster under your bed." I chuckled, messing his hair up. His frown faded away, as he looked at me wide-eyed. "You're smart, lady. I never knew big brother liked smart girls, too" he said, tapping his chin with his finger.

"Care to tell this smart lady your name?" I asked. He examined my face for a while, and nodded. He was about to open his mouth, when a voice interrupted him. We both looked at where it came from, and my mood suddenly fell. "Bryan! Where were you?" she said and hugged the little boy.

"Bryan." I muttered under my breath, while staring at the girl hugging him. "Are you okay? Tell - oh." she switched her words when she saw me. "Well, what do we have here? It's the stupid girl from the party" she laughed sarcastically. I glared, as I examined the girl smirking at me. 

"Addison, she's not stupid." Bryan snapped, making me grin. "In fact, she's more  beautiful and smarter than a tiger like you." Addison rolled her eyes and reached for Bryan's hand, but he didn't let her. "I can go on my own, stupid tiger." he said. 

He ran away, but he stopped and took a peek at me. "I'll see you later, smart lady!" and he was gone. "Ugh, this is all your fault!" Addison pointed at me angrily. "You put some mind control stuff in his brain, and now he hates me." I smirked at what I heard. "It's called knowledge, stupid tiger" I imitated Bryan's voice.

 She gave me an evil glare. "I'll kill you next time, watch out." she said and ran to where the little boy went. "I'd like to see you try!" I shouted, even though she can't hear me. I walked back to my seat, sighing. What am I getting myself into?, I thought. 

"Miss Thompson?" I heard someone call me. I looked from where it came from, a nurse. "Yes?" I asked nicely, even though I wanted to shout at her for ruining my moment. "Mr. Skyes wants to meet you." she said, unknowingly making my body shiver. "Please follow me." she said and walked away. 

I gulped, but followed her quietly. After a few rooms we passed, we've arrived in Andrew's room. "You can come in now." she said and left. I entered the room without hesitation, and I saw Andrew right away. "Hi" I said, walking closer to him. "Hey" he said, smiling widely at me. 

"Are you all right?" I asked, taking a chair next to him and sat. He tried to sit, but then he groaned, gripping head hard. I stood up, alarmed at what's happening. "Hey, don't. You're going to make your headache worse." I said, making him lay back in bed. 

He raised his eyebrow at me. "Headache?" he asked. I nodded, confusingly. "Ross said that you had an headache." I said. "You guys aren't lying to me, right?" He looked at me for a brief moment, and shook his head. "He's telling the truth." he dryly said, and looked away quickly. 

I must be imagining things, I thought. I shook my thoughts away and sat down. "So why did you call for me?" I asked. He looked back at me, sighing. "I don't know, really. I guess I just want to see your face." he said, making my cheeks hot. 

I stood up and faced the ground, biting my lip. "Well, now you see me. I'm going now." I said and ran before he could even stop me. When I got outside, I rest my back at the wall. That was close, I thought. I was breathing heavily, when a felt a hand pull me up. Ross.

"Are you okay? You're sweating hard." he said, examining me. I nodded, giving him a small smile. "Yeah." I said. "Good." he said, and pulled me, by surprise. "H-hey! Where are we going?" I asked, still being pulled  by him. "Home."

"But my home-" he stopped me. "My home." he said. I looked at him, like he's crazy. "What do you mean?" I asked, making him stop at his tracks. "From now on, you'll be living with me.." he paused and smirked at me. My eyes widen. "What? How about my studies? Andre? My-" he stopped me. 

"Don't you remember? You're Ross Ellis's girlfriend. You're literally my princess."
