Something You Want to Forget About
Joy
Niall’s POV
Doctor Morris walked into my hospital room. I was wide awake. I slept well last night, smiling like an idiot, thinking about Ameina. I’m just glad to see her smile again, talking to me. She never seems to realize how much I love it when she smiles at me.
“Mister Horan,” Doctor Morris greeted, “are you well?”
“Yup.” I replied cheerfully.
“You look fine and healthy. You should be able to get out by tomorrow morning.”
“That’s-that’s awesome. Thanks.”
Doctor Morris smiled and left me in my room. Ameina had already left the hospital today, as she visited me this morning to say goodbye. I’m probably going to see her tomorrow or the day after anyway.
I continued to read my book – To Kill A Mockingbird. I was already halfway through it. I have to read this for English class. It’s really thick.
But then I stopped reading by a few pages more and thought of ‘Meina. I am just so happy about us talking again. And there I sat on my bed, grinning.
I grabbed my bag from my hospital room’s sofa and went outside. Today I’m finally getting out of the hospital after spending four or five days resting and recovering from that car crash.
I met my mom and Greg at the entrance and talked to them a bit about the car crash and everything before going in the car. Greg called me a “lovebird” and I slightly punched him in the shoulder. My mom called me sweet for saving Ameina. I thanked her.
When we got in the car, Mom put on a The Beatles CD and we sung along to Hey Jude for a while. When it ended, we were all silent half the car trip until Greg poked my shoulder.
“Hey Nialler,” he uttered, “what’s so special to you about this Ameina girl anyway?”
I smirked. “She’s sweet and perfect and everything.” Was my response. Greg raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
We arrived at our house and I got down, going to my room and dropping down on my bed, it’s nice smell filling my nose. Mom must have changed my sheets while I was at the hospital.
I decided to text Ameina, so I grabbed my phone and texted her. I clicked on Meina J and begun typing.
I typed,
Hey meiii. :D How’re you? I just got out today. x
I sent it and waited for a while. Another message came in thirthy seconds later.
Im fine.. that’s great! Ice cream parlor tomorrow? x
I grinned and typed back.
Sure. Claire says she’s got some family biz to take care of tho. x
Another message came in a few seconds after.
Okay.. Meet ya there tomorrow at 3 x
I waited for Ameina at the ice cream parlor, tapping my feet on the ground impatiently. I couldn’t drive my car, as my arm is still broken. At least it’s not my left arm – I’m left-handed. Anyway, I’m actually thinking about something. It involves Ameina.
I waited for ten minutes until Ameina finally arrived. She was wearing a white elbow-length sleeved shirt – which I barely ever see her wear – and skinny jeans. She was beautiful.
She smiled at me and I took her hand and went inside. We ordered our usual flavors and sat down.
We spent abut five minutes licking our ice cream while staring at each other. I decided to break the awkwardness and start a conversation.
“So…” I muttered awkwardly, “how are you?”
“Healing.” Ameina muttered back.
“You stopped, right?”
“Yeah, Anesha made me throw away my razors and everything.”
“I told you not to buy new ones.”
“I know, I know…” she smiled. I smiled back.
“When do we get back to school?” I asked.
“Well, it’s July now, so… We go back in September sixth.”
We continued to talk for a bit, about other random topics until we both went quiet again. Here it is. Here’s my chance. I better not waste it.
I waited for Ameina to finish her ice cream, as I already finished mine. After that I took her outside and went to the park nearby.
“Niall, seriously,” Ameina insisted, “what are you doing?”
“Just come with me.” I told her. She rolled her eyes.
As we arrived at the park, I took her to the gazebo and stood in the middle with her. She looked genuinely confused. My heart pounded, not sure what to do, but I have to do this.
I held her hand with my right hand, the one that’s not broken, and looked deeply into her eyes. She still looked like she had no idea what was going on.
I took a deep breath. “Ameina,” I spoke with a clear voice, “will you be my girlfriend?”
She gasped and widened her eyes. People at nearby the gazebo glanced at us, cooing. Ameina looked shocked and stood silent for a while, staring at me.
“Yes!” She exclaimed, kissing my lips. She hugged me and smiled widely. I smiled back.
This was the happiest day ever.
