Chapter III

Chapter III is here ^-^----------------------------------------------

I was currently in the waiting room in Cedar Central Hospital, when I got here the doctor told me to wait out here.

I was extremely worried when they had a 'he might not live' expression on their faces.

However, I denied the thought of Mello dying like this.

Mello wouldn't allow himself to die like this, I know it, he'll be okay.

I breathed steady breaths, trying to calm myself.

*30 minutes pass*

What seemed like hours, the doctor finally came out of the room and walked up to me, about to give me news on Mello's wellbeing.

"Your friend is going to be just find in due time, he just needs some rest." The doctor informed me.

I have a relieved smile, "Thank you doctor" I thanked him.

"Just doing my job miss" he said smiling.

"You can go in now, but you won't be able to stay any longer than 5 minutes, y'know, visiting hours and all" he said, but that was enough for me.

"I understand, thanks again." I said slightly above a whisper and walked past him into the room.

There he was.

Mello was at the far edge of the room near the window, what I first noted was how vulnerable he looked.

His skin was so pale and looked so fragile and weak.

His burns were covered with damp towels to keep them hydrated.

I grabbed a chair and sat by Mello's side. I wasn't sure what to do.

There was no point in speaking to him, he wouldn't be able to hear me.

So I just used my right hand to entwined my fingers with his left hand. I blushed slightly.

His hand was so cold, almost lifeless.

I rested my forehead on our entwined fingers and silently wept.

Sad that he was like this, but happy he was still alive.

A few moments pass and a nurse walked into the room and walked up beside me.

"Excuse me but visiting hours are over now, you can visit your boyfriend tomorrow morning" she explained in a sweet voice.

I lifted my head slightly to look into her eyes, my eyes clearly saying, 'but I'm worried about him'.

But then I realised what she said and bolted my head up embarrassed.

"What? Oh no, no, no! I-it's not l-like that... he's just... a friend" I stammered.

"Oh, I'm sorry for my mistake." She apologised.

*timeskip back to apartment*

"Hey (Y/n), I got your text. Wha-" I cut Matt of by explaining.

"Like I said in the text,  I took Mello to the hospital. But don't worry, I made sure his identity was protected" I said.

Matt gave a confused look.

"I called Near." I said defeated.

"Mello's going to kill you if he finds out." He said, tapping away on his game boy.

"I know" I said in a guilty voice.

"I'm not mad at you (Y/n), I would have done the same." He focuses his attention to me.

"But you know Mello's going to flip out, are you going to tell him?" He asked.

That was a good question.

"If you do tell him, he WILL be angry, but if you don't tell him, he might not find out at all, but if he does he will be even more angry because he feels you can't trust him, be carful what you choose to do." Matt advised.

"Yeah, I know." I said sitting beside Matt on the couch.

I was surprised when Matt wrapped his arms around me, making my cheeks turn a slight pink.

"Matt?" I asked him confused by his sudden action.

"It'll all be okay" he said rubbing my back soothingly.

I felt tears begin to brim in my eye.

"Matt, I'm scared... I don't want anything bad to happen to Mello" I sobbed.

"I know, neither do I" he said, continuing to comfort me.

"You like him don't you?"

Matt's bold question made me stutter nervously and blush furiously.

"W-wha?" I stammered nervously.

"No of course not! He's- he's..." I stopped mid sentence, not knowing how to finish it.

"Okay... I like him- only a little!" I said with a pout.

"Your head-over-heels for him, I can tell" Matt chuckled.

I grumbled. Matt let go and I fell face first into the couch in attempt to hide my red face.

"You should probably get some rest, you want to visit Mello tomorrow right?" He asked as he turned back to his game boy.

"Yeah, your right" I said quietly and made my way to the bedroom the three of us shared, (It's a small apartment, deal with it) and curled up in my bed, pulling the covers over me.

I let out a deep sigh.

I couldn't stop worrying about Mello, the idea of him dying crushed me, life had its ways of breaking me emotionally.

I never even got to tell him how I feel.

I made up my mind, I'm going to tell Mello how I feel when he wakes up.

Well... that's if he wakes up...

But let's not go there...

----------------------------------------------

You're probably wondering, when does Mello wake up? Don't worry, he wakes up next chapter ;)

Oops, I just spoiled that for u, sorry.
