Chapter 6

I have to stay at the hospital for a couple days until I'm allowed to go back,I'm given medication which I have to take three times each day. All I want to do is sleep,but I don't want to seem to greedy.

Once we arrive home we slump down on the couch.

"Do you want anything?" Thomas asks.
"No,I'm fine."
"Well we can but your medicine here then when you need-"
"Tom?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry."
"What?"
"About me."
"Okay,just are you going to take a pill? The Nurse said you should as soon as you arrive home."
"Course."

I open the jar and pour out a pill. It's yellow,about the size of a bean. As I gulp it down a tooth-paste like flavour zings through my throat. I feel like gagging but I just cup my palms over my mouth,shrivelling my face up as I hold in the taste then gulp down a cup of water to wash the taste away

Then after we have Spaghetti Bolognese and I go to bed,just lying there,looking up at the wall. I know Tom's probably on the balcony,I want to join him but I don't know what the restrictions of the medication were, the doctor explained it to us but I didn't bother to listen,all I could think about is if anyone found of what I've done. I would be send back immediately. No exceptions.

I walk to the balcony to see Thomas is still there. But this time he isn't smoking, he's just looking out onto the view.

"Hi." I stand right next to him.
"Hey."
"Not smoking?"
"No,I just wanted to admire the view."
"Right.."
"Margo-"
"Yeah."
"Can you keep a promise?"
"Yes."
"Can you promise me you won't ever try to harm yourself again?"

I don't respond.

"Please..."
"I don't know. I've got no reason existing here."
"What about this?"

Before I can respond his lips crash to mine.. I'm surprisingly pulled back. I had never kissed a guy before. My arms move to his neck as I feel a warm feeling spark through me. Like electricity. His lips are so soft and warm,it feels like we're enveloped in some kind of blanket of love and happiness. But then I feel like I can't breathe,so I have to pull away. His hands stay planted on my waist and mine on his neck,our fore-heads gently rest together.

"I could kiss you forever." He whispers.
"Then do it." I respond.
