tomorrow

2

the police asked me a couple questions about Mattia and what I said to him, we were in the hospital hallway while his family and friends were there too

"thank you y/n, you can go home now, and you saved a life today"
The officer smiled at me and I nodded

I grabbed my bag and started walking down the hallway. I took the elevator downstairs and started to walk out the hospital

Mattia was in a room in the hospital, he was handcuffed to the bed so he wouldn't be able to get out. His parents walked in the room but he yelled for them to get out, he refused to talk to anyone, he yelled at his parents, yelled out his friends, yelled at everyone

"Mattia you need to talk to someone" Alejandro said looking at him concerned

"the girl who talked to me" he said not looking at any of them

"go find her" his dad said to the boys and they nodded running out the room

they got to the last floor which was the lobby and ran out the hospital seeing her in the parking lot

"wait!" Alejandro yelled out

the girl turned back and stopped as she seen them running towards her

"yes?"
She asked confused

"Mattia wants to talk to you. He doesn't want to talk to anyone else but you"
the other kid said out of breath

"oh, ok, let me just make a call and I'll be in the room"
I said

they nodded and started walking back in the hospital

I called work and explained to them why I couldn't go

I put my phone in my bag and walked inside the hospital getting a visitors pass and taking the elevator to the floor he was on

I looked down the hall and seen his family and friends sitting outside the room

his friends seen me and got up

"hi, so I just talk to him?"
I asked them

"yea, he has food on the table but he doesn't want to eat it"

"ok, how long do I talk to him for?"

"however long you want"

I nodded and walked to the door. I looked back and his mother was crying while his dad was holding her

I walked inside the room seeing him look at the window

I knocked on the door so he can invite me

"can I come in?"
I asked politely

he nodded and fixed the bed so he was sitting up

"hey"
He said with a smile, like he was excited to see me

"hi"
I said walking closer to him

"they said you didn't want to talk to anybody else but me"
I sat down on the chair beside him

"right now you seem like the best person to talk to, I'm Mattia"
He said putting his hand out

"nice to meet you Mattia. I'm y/n"
I said shaking his hand and giving out a small smile

Mattia's pov
she saved me... she took her time out of the day to talk to me, instead of walking away or just looking  at me, she talked to me, I was so close to jumping off but she convinced me not to, when I grabbed her hand to go over the railing i felt something, not love like the romantic movies you see, but she felt warm, on a cold windy day she felt warm, I fell into her arms as she wrapped her arms around me confronting me, as a stranger was crying onto her lap she comforted me like she'd known me for years

when I got to the hospital they handcuffed me to the bed so I wouldn't get off, the doctors tried talking to me but I didn't talk. My parents tried but I yelled, and my friends tried to. But I ignored them. I asked for the girl, I said I'll only speak to her

I looked out the window and heard a knock on my door seeing the girl, she smiled at me and asked if she could come in

I introduced myself to her and she did the same, then she sat beside me

"thank you, for talking to me earlier"
I smiled at her

"it was nothing, how are you feeling?"
I asked as he was still holding my hand

"the same as I felt before, just with someone new in my life"
I smiled

I looked over at the tray of food beside him that hadn't been touched

"so you promised to talk to me, so talk"
He said

"if you eat your food then I'll talk to you"

"but I'm not hungry"

"at least eat half of it"
I asked politely

"fine, but only half"
he said getting up

I pulled the tray to him and he started to eat

"now talk. About anything, how old you are, what do you like to do, just talk about yourself"
He said looking at him

he still held my hand. I looked at his arm seeing the scars he had

"I'm 17 years old, I like to write when I'm alone, or make bracelets with my friends when I see them. I live by myself in an apartment

he cut me off

"you live by yourself? But your only 17?"

"after my mom passed away. I lived with my uncle back in California for a year, but I missed Jersey so he signed a paper, so I can live on my own"

"so you live by yourself?"

"pretty much"

we continued talking and after about 30 minutes I seen his two friends walk in

"can you talk to us now?"
the taller one said

"I'll came back tomorrow"

"what no"
He said gripping my hand tighter

"I have to go, but I promise I'll be back tomorrow after work. talk to your family"

"what time?"

"around 3 o'clock"

He nodded and let go of my hand

"tell my parents they can come in"
he looked at me

I nodded before walking out the room and seen his parents sitting there

"he said you can come in now"

They looked at me and stood up

"thank you"
His mother said hugging me

"your welcome"
