Reserved ~ Chris Schistad (SLOWLY UPDATING)

Chapter 8 (episode 8)

Chris's POV:

The volunteer nurse who was about my age set the plate of tasteless food on the table next to me.

"You need to eat and get some energy in your body." She pointed to the food and bit on her lip.

I nodded, "Ok." I tried to wave her off, but she stayed.

"I know this isn't my place, but I couldn't help but notice that girl who came into your room yesterday...your girlfriend maybe?" She causally brought up the topic just to see if I was available.

"You're right. It isn't your place." I retorted, closing my eyes.

She scoffed, and I could tell she was still determined to woo me.

The door closed, and I glanced at the food next to me. My stomach was empty, so my shaky hand picked up the fork and dug it into some mashed potatoes.

When I put it into my mouth, I sighed with content-not because the food was good- because I haven't eaten in a week.

There were footsteps approaching my room, so I set down my fork and waited for whomever it was to come in.

Noora's POV:

I knocked lightly on the door while I slowly opened it.

"Come in," Chris croaked.

"Were you sleeping? I'm sorry. I can leave." I frowned at myself.

"No. I was just finishing my food." He refused to keep eye contact with me.

"We need to talk about you and Eva." I walked in front of the bed, "You guys can't keep doing this to each other. You guys are changing your minds every five seconds. You and Eva either stick with the decision or drop it all together because I can't deal with seeing my best friend hurt."

Chris held an expressionless look on his face, but I knew he was feeling the same.

"I know but nothing seems to be at the right time. Right when I express my feelings for her, I get hit by a fucking car." He sighed in defeat.

"You get out tomorrow, right?" I questioned.

"I'm pretty sure," He repositioned himself.

"Then talk to her. Ask her to come see you." I felt determined to get them talking about their situation.

"Yeah, sure." He nodded.

I was about to leave, when a nurse about Chris and I's age walked in, "Hi, Chris." She walked up to his bedside and slowly grazed her hand down his arm.

I looked at her disgusted, "Do you mind? We were having a conversation."

She turned to me with a cheery smile, "Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were leaving, love."

I scoffed, "Right, I'm leaving, but his girlfriend will be here in a few, love."

She rolled her eyes and walked out the room, but not without giving Chris a wink and a "See you later".

"Who the hell was that?" I burst out laughing.

"Some volunteer nurse who seems to be pretty keen on me." He cracked a smile.

"Keen on you," I tried not to be too loud, "She was basically begging for you to get in her pants."

He let out a small laugh, "I wasn't really paying attention. Is Eva really coming to see me today?"

I shook my head, and my mouth formed into a thin line.

"Ok, I'm just going to get some rest now, you know before I leave tomorrow and talk with Eva. I need my energy for that," Chris repositioned his pillow and slid himself back into a laying position.

I walked out of the hospital, only seeing that slut nurse once and giving her the side-eye.

She responded with a smirk and headed to where Chris's room is. I scoffed at how she can't grasp that he does not want her.

Eva's POV:

I picked up my phone contemplating on whether I should call Chris or not.

I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. After three rings and still no answer, I left him a message," I know I shouldn't be saying this, and you probably don't want to hear it. But I need to say it. I want to be with you, but I can't sit here and pretend that I don't know what you've done to other people. I've been trying to not let it get to me, but it just comes back every time. I don't know what to do, and I don't know how you feel about it either. I want to figure out what I think is best for me right now, so I'm going to avoid you for a while, until I figure out what I want. I don't expect you to wait at all, but for now I'm going to be selfish and say I hope you do. Bye."

I closed my eyes and bit the inside of my mouth, so I could stop the tears from flowing down my face. I sharply exhaled and opened my eyes again, "I need this," I whispered.

I scootched back until I hit the headboard, and I turned on Netflix. Watching one tree hill will surely make me feel better.

I checked my phone, once more, just to see if Chris responded to my voice mail. There were no missed calls or texts, so I turned my phone off and reached for the covers.

For the rest of the night, I sat up watching Tv and didn't check my phone, even when I heard it ring.

Sorry this was a short chapter, and I suck because I barely update. Btw I haven't been showing them at school because I either write them when they are on a weekend or when they skip school. Next chapter might be a school chapter;)
