Chapter 28: Misleading The Heart

Melissa's POV.

My gaze moved from Landon to the nurse who was still standing before us, moving her gaze from me to him. She was expecting a response, it was obvious that she was and I couldn't say a eord6 because i was as surprised as her.

"That's exactly what I wrote there. She's my girlfriend, and she's fucking injured. Please take good care of her."

His response came as a bigger shock to me because I was already thinking he was being misunderstood and whatever he wrote there on that form was a mistake.

"Oh, yes, sir. We'll make sure she's feeling much better before dismissal. Thanks for bringing her in so quickly"

The nurse responded this time with a little trembling in her voice,she was struggling with her words as she seemed to be rather disappointed.

I waited for the nurse to walk away before I grabbed Landon's hand, pulling him close even though he didn't move an inch by my pulls. He walked closer to me, staring down at me as I struggled to sit up on the bed.

"What was that about?"

My question was simple and direct, he could easily respond to it and just tell me why he was acting like that when we were barely friends.

"Chill out, Lisa. I need them to attend to you quickly and give you all the care that you need; that was why I did that. "It's not a big deal, you know."

His tone was as casual as his look, but I could swear that the nurse did not take it so lightly when he mentioned that I was his girlfriend.

She looked almost disappointed and it was as if she had a long crush on him that was being betrayed.

"Tell that to the nurse, Landon. I'm sure she likes you, and she's very much heartbroken right now to hear that you have a girlfriend in school and it happens to be some random scholarship student."

"And how is she going to know you're a random scholarship student like you think you are?"

His question got me lost in thought for a few seconds; she wouldn't know that I am a scholarship student unless she decides to go look into my school profile after this awkward introduction.

"Oh yeah, she doesn't know, and I feel so sorry for her right now because she would be so heartbroken for nothing."

"Can we stop talking about the nurse already? You just need to rest." I'll come back later to check on you; I should speak with Lex."

He gently patted my shoulder as he spoke.

" you and Lex look like you're in a rough place right now, did you have a fight? I mean, I thought people like you worshipped at each other's feet; you're like gods in your own worlds."

I said to him, and the expression on his face instantly tightened as he stared at me for a few seconds before looking away with a fixed smile on his face.

" Lex is a tough one to handle and the fact that we have still been friends all these years is a miracle because he pisses me off every single time but some how we just get to fix things"

For about five seconds I stared at him, admiring the kind of friendship that they shared. I had never had such a friend who had been with me for a very long time; the only stable person in my life has been Susan, and I couldn't even boast of a parent.

"You're lucky then; I guess you're always the one person who pushes to fix things every single time. Lex doesn't strike me as one who would ever apologise for anything he does; he's just too ill-mannered."

"I would have argued with you because every other time I am the one who always makes the first move to apologise to him whenever we have an issue, but strangely he came up to me first today, and I'm wondering what exactly changed." I'm beginning to think it might have something to do with you. Ever since you came into the picture, Lex has been acting in strange ways, ways that make it seem like he's hesitating to an extent."

" hesitating? I don't think I understand what you mean."

"You don't have to understand it now, Lisa; you'll understand later if my theories are correct. And I absolutely think this is going to be the best time to get my plans in motion, maybe we could finally fix things for real "

At this point I was totally confused; I had no single idea about what he was talking about, and as I stared at him, I looked like a lost sheep standing alone on a path confused about where to go.

"Okay, Landon, maybe you should go. I think I've had enough of your ambiguous narrations." If you're not going to say things that I completely understand right now, it is best that you go out of that door and do whatever it is you want to do with your friend Lex."

I didn't mean to sound rude, but I was slightly irritated by the fact that there was always something difficult around him, and I never seemed to understand completely whenever he was trying to communicate with me despite my IQ.

"Do not beat yourself about it, Lisa; it is only a theory for now, and once it begins to show something promising, I am going to help you on the path and make sure you don't break down on the journey."

"What journey are you talking about? I seriously can't face you right now, get out Landon"

My voice was louder than before and a few nurses were already staring around looking at us from different corners of the large room.

"Alright, babe, I'll see you later?"

Landon responded loudly this time; he leaned down to me and planted a kiss on my forehead.

" what the heck Landon? what are you doing?" I asked in a whisper, my gaze moving around to the nurses who were now staring at us completely.
