Chapter 4
Lauren's POV:
I screamed. I felt like I've been screaming for hours but yet no one came to help me and get this stranger out of my room. I look to my left and saw no one besides the stranger plugging in his ears and then I looked to the right and also saw no one there. Wow I thought. First they put me in the hospital because they were worried, but didn't even bother to give me attention for the night. I was out for the night right? This lunatic of a stranger has to be lying to me about being here for a month. It couldn't be true, it can't be true. I stopped screaming when I noticed the stranger was the only one to actually care and by the looks of it he was here all night. My friends or my family don't care about me enough to actually stay with me in the hospital. Only a complete stranger actually cared. When I finally stopped screaming the stranger stood up straight looking at me cautiously making sure I wasn't gonna scream bloody murder again but when he took his first step towards me a nurse came bursting through the door.
"Are you alright miss?" She asked but then turned her head towards the stranger "Do you know this man? Is he trying to hurt you? I'm sorry I should've known, he told me he was a friend of yours I'll get him out now" She said advancing towards the stranger escorting him
"Wait!" I said. I don't know why I said it maybe because I didn't want the only person that actually cared enough to stay to leave "He is a uh... friend of mine I just freaked out when I woke up not expecting to see him" I told her she slowly nodded and let go of the stranger. Before she left I asked her the question that was on the top of my mind the whole time "How long was I out for?"
"A month sweetheart" She replied. I paled, my eyes widened and I'm pretty sure my jaw fell through the bed and onto the floor. "I'll send a doctor in to tell you what happened" I slowly nodded my head and with that she left, leaving me alone with the attractive stranger. I turn my head to the stranger and my jaw just fell through the floor. HE WAS HOT LIKE REALLY HOT! He had this dark brown hair that covered his face well it basically went to his eyes. His hair was messy like really messy and untamed like he's been running his hand through it a lot and like he just woke up. Wait he just did wake up duhh. His eyes were what caught my attention though they were a gorgeous grey almost silver like even the bags under his eyes looked amazing. Actually no not that much. He also had the perfect jaw line like oh my Jesus. My eyes traveled lower and he was fit not like a freakin wrestler though huge steroid user things, but he had a fricken 8 pack. I really didn't wanna look any lower so I went back to his eyes and saw he had a smirk on his perfect lips. Oh great he was one of those guys I rolled my eyes at him. What does this hot stranger think he's doing in my room he should be in a super models room not mine. because lets just get this straight I have boring brown wavyish hair with boring brown eyes that my friends says have a tint of gold in them. Plus I wasn't like supermodel thin but I also wasn't like a fricken balloon either I guess I had curves I don't really know because I don't dress in tight clothes I just don't like them, I'm more of a sweats kind of girl because sleep is my best friend in the whole world. I was brought out of my thoughts when he spoke and let me tell you he had an amazing voice.
"Like what you see?" He asked and I just rolled my eyes replying
"I seen better" His eyes got darker and he had like an animalistic growl. It was very attractive but yet very scary so I backed away from him a bit. He saw me back away and his eyes softened and he looked upset he scared me I just bit my lip and he continued speaking
"Sorry about that I didn't mean to, I just got mad" I slowly nodded because I don't know why he would get mad about me saying he seen better ugh boys and their egos I thought like seriously one day their egos are gonna be so big their gonna explode. I laughed a little at that and the stranger, Shawn I think he said his name was, had a smile on his face and it was an amazing smile. I swear everything about this guy is amazing he's just so perfect it's not fair. Wait theres no such thing as perfect that word shouldn't exist at all but he was still I guess almost perfect. "You have a beautiful laugh" I kinda got creeped out by this but I blushed a little and muttered a small 'thanks' he just chuckled and said "So when were you and me friends. I swear from that scream you would've wanted me out and never near you again" he asked humorously with a sense of seriousness" I just shrugged and said
"I guess because I wanted the only person that actually cared and gave me attention to stay and not leave me all alone" He looked upset about this and was about to say something when the doctor walked in
"Miss Daniels you are a lucky one alright" I looked at him confused waiting for him to continue I was never lucky "You have a heart condition and you had it for a while and since you haven't been taking meds it just got worse which is why that night you were coughing up blood and not being able to breathe with all the heart pain" He said looking angry at me I just looked away he continued "Those mini heart attacks you been having and the lack of breath those two symptoms should of been a clue for you to go to the hospital or even TELL YOUR PARENTS. You just made yourself worse and I'm sorry to say but the damage already done can't be repaired. You have to live with this and it can either just get worse for you and you end up dead or you can have some miracle and manage to fight this. You just caused all of this without telling anyone about this" I starred at him in shock and I felt my anger rising I finally built up all this courage that I didn't even know I had and yelled at the doctor
"WELL SORRY BUT EXCUSE ME FOR THINKING IT WAS JUST PARANOIA AND THINKING NOTHING OF IT AND NO THINKING ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE ME IF I TOLD THEM SO REALLY DON'T PUT ALL THIS ON ME I'M ONLY 17 HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" I finished off leaving Shawn and the doctor in shock.
"Miss Daniels! You will have respect for him all I'm trying to do is help you! Plus all this yelling and stress your getting right now is just making you die sooner!" He yelled back and I just glared at him waiting for him to leave which he finally did which felt like forever and I let out a sigh leaning back against my bed
"Damn Lauren I didn't know you could have all that anger in you" I just looked away muttered
"Shut up" he laughed and came closer taking the seat next to my bed. "Why are you here and how do you know who I am
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" He said I was about to say something when he looked at my necklace. It was a wolf, I had the necklace ever since I was born and I love wolves so I never bothered to take it off. "That's a nice necklace" he said looking at me "do you like wolves?" and I just nodded and replied
"Ya I love them I don't know why, but I just always loved them" I looked away feeling embarrassed he laughed and then I looked back at him expecting him to say something bad about it but then he surprised me
he smiled
His smiled caused me to smile and we just sat like that starring at each other until my door was opened and we broke eye contact and looked at the door and I was surprised again, my jaw dropping to the floor again
It was my family and they looked terrible with all the bags under their eyes and tear stained cheeks
I gasped.
