what if the Rose doesn't bloom?

10.Attack

"What?"

"The one that hit you. Fast."
He looked down and then said

"Yes. But.."

"Red number plate?"

"Ya..."

"Black suited people?"

"Don't know. I didn't notice inside. But why?"

I started murmuring. I was doing my calculations. He was staring me in confusion.
I looked back and said

"Thanks. Now you can rest."

"Hey...wait .."

I ran out through the door and went out of the hospital. I looked for the car, if it came back. But it was not there.
I came back to Poppy. There was a call notification.

"Ben!"
I called him back.

"Hello, Rose."

"Yap"

"Why didn't you come today? All okay. You even didn't reply my texts."

"Ya, I am in hospital actually. "

"Hospital, are you okay? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ben ,Ben , I am all okay. That's my friend. "

"Ohhh,serious?"

"No, just a bit. It may take a few days. I'll need your help for the notes."

"Don't worry. I am on service."

"Thanks."

"Okay then. Take care"

"Ya, bye"

I put my phone back and it rang again.
I must be Dad , it's been two days.
But it was some unknown number.
I picked it up. It was from the hospital reception. It said to look at James prescription and medication. I went to the reception and took the receipt and prescription. I went back and stood in front of his cabin. I was not ready to go in. But had no choice. I wished him to be slept. I made the least spund entered and unfortunately he was awake scrolling his phone.

"Again". He said with his eyes still on phone.

" I had no choice. Sorry. It's your medicine. "
I took all medicines and a glass of water. I gave it to him.
He looked straight to my eyes that made my eyes uncomfortable.

"Why don't you call someone whose face doesn't makes you anxious?"

"I am not that lucky."

"Friends, brother or sister at least. "
I tried not to open his personal matter by being particular.

"Only my sister. She's out of station."

"Did you inform her?"

"No need. I don't want to."
I stood silent for secs and then said

"Then you'll see me for another couple of days. I'll ask a nurse for you instead."

"The first option sounds decent."

I guess I heard something wrong. My face was actually showing it.

"Are you really okay with me? "

"Seems you're not. "

"I am okay. Infact better."

He smiled.
Seriously, he did. But suddenly I realized what I said.

"I mean, okay. I'll help you, since you are asking."

He smiled again. Indeed he has hit his head. Else he and smile to me, never.
