"Join me here," Matthew suggested patting the side of the bed he was lying on and I smirked pinching his cheeks.

"You don't want your parents seeing us in that position. They will freak out." I say and he feigns a frown.

"I don't think they would even come visit. So you don't need to worry." He said. "Besides you must be tired, heard you had stayed by my side throughout last night." Matthew chipped in, his eyes dancing from its socket as if he was being shy by the thought that I had been with him all through the night.

"Hmm, if you insist," I gave in. I rose on my feet and I walked over to the other side of the bed, I dropped the plate that we had both eaten from on the desk before joining him on the bed.

Okay, this is weird but no matter how weird it is, it seemed right.

I've longed to protect him like this, be with him, and spend more than the days George had claimed he had left.

No nurses might come in for the next three to four hours since he has already taken his drugs and I am h

    "Tell them I'd pluck a tooth if that got to my ears." I heard Keith say and I bit my lower lip, embarrassed at the way my body was reacting to what I heard.Is this what love feels like? It's so energetic than the feeling of when I was crushing on him.I feel so special, so energized.I blinked my eyes repeatedly still hearing Keith and Billy's conversation.Keith needs to practice the word. 'Kindness.'Why does he seem to be giving attitude to Billy? Even though he wasn't directly showing it.I could tell with his voice and each reply he gave Billy. Right now, I think I need to wake up and acknowledge Billy else Keith might just continue to be ruder to his friend.Even though Billy had caused me to cry, that didn't change him being a good person..if I can remember, Keith was the one who always made me aware that I needed to cry.I feigned a yawn, tossing to the other side of the bed where Keith had laid and I pretended to be looking for him with my hand."You're awake?" Billy was the

    Slowly and steadily, I opened my eyes and the brightness of the sun was what made me shut them back.Ah, my chest... I groaned silently as I opened my eyes again."Matthew..." Ruth called standing beside me."Ah..." I groaned again."Are you okay?" She asks with a worried look and I slowly nod blinking before remembering how I had ended up in this state.The words from my mother and father still rang heavily in my brain, I'm sure I can't get what they said to me out of my head yet.I should understand them, I had told myself when my mum slapped me thinking I'd change my word but I had repeated I was gay, and there was nothing they could do about it.And Keith? He had visited our home.Did he see me crying? Did he know when I fainted?I glanced at Leah who returned with George in his doctor's coat."How are you, Matt," George asked as he got closer to me."I'm awake at least," I replied with a small smile.He checked on me with his stethoscope and then checked if I was having a fever.

    The next morning...I was still in Matthew's ward, staring at him.After rushing him down to the hospital where he was admitted, I couldn't even feel myself anymore.Each event that was happening to him seemed to be a second-season scenario of what had happened with my mother...I had maintained my composure as he was pushed on the cot to the ward and we had been asked to remain outside."God please, this is not happening." Mrs. Harry had wailed while Ruth was still the one coaxing her.I had stood at the front of Matthew's ward, clenching my fist on my jeans, I know Mathew has heart disease, he has told me. But what if this disease is more than what I thought?I still remember Ruth mentioning death and just the thought of it with Matthew had my heart pounding fast...Christ! Nothing should happen to my Mathew.A tear slid out of my eyes without Matthew's family knowing, and I quickly wiped my face when the familiar doctor, whom I guessed to be George since I'd seen him once or twice

    "Again, y'all tried, I hope we get one more score from them in the second half." The coach said, then he walked away from the dressing room.I downed the rest of the water in the bottle as I breathed out a sigh taking my phone to text Matthew but instead, a call came in.As I glanced at it, it was an unknown number. With hesitation, I rejected the call scrolling over to the text message to chat with Matthew who must have left me a message since I hadn't checked my phone since when we arrived, and the second half was starting in a few minutes.The call came in again and I sighed, it must be one of those girls who usually get my number from my friends.I guess it's high time I told them not to give any female my number again since I've found a partner.As I swiped the answer Icon, I said. "Whatever it is, I'm not interested, click on the red button before I do." As I brought the phone to hang up the voice stopped me."Wait. This is Ruth, Matthew's sister." I recognized her at once."Hey

    It was yet another day.I was seated in the front rows of the church as usual while the reverend preached.My dad was busy with other church activities with some other Deacon, and my mother and sisters were seated beside me.Keith didn't come to church today, he had told me about the school match which was later postponed to today. Even though his dad wanted him to attend church and skip the match, his coach had done well in convincing Mr. Schuler.Once I get home, I should give him a call, because right now... I swear with the cross of Jesus Christ at my front that I'm already missing him.And he had even kissed me in his car after we had gotten interrupted by the little kid.Gosh! I'm feeling hot already."Are you okay?" Leah muttered beside me and I turned to look at her with a slight nod before looking back at the reverend who would soon round off his preaching.Calling Keith should even be the last thing I should be worrying about... I'm telling my family that I'm gay, and I have
