"How long have you been a nurse?" he asks

OK, why was he asking me questions? Go away. I can't multitask by cooking and talking at the same time

 "A long time" I say 

"Well you don't look that old" he says

 "Ive been taking care of people for a long tỉme, even before I studied nursing. Ive been working at the hospital for 3 years now"I say

 "3 years isn't a long time for being known as 'the best in

New York" he says

Will you SHUT THE FUCK UP?! 

"aren't you supposed to be sick in bed?" I ask turning to face him

"What? You don't enjoy my presence?" He asks with a smirk

No. I don't. I really really don't.

"Besides, it's not like you have anything else to do" he says 

"So how old are you anyway?" He asks

Very well mannered I see "Im 23" I answer

 "See I still don't understand as to how your the best nurse in New York" he says

 "And I still can't understand how you're a genius that was able to open up his own multi million dollar tech company" I sa

 "Well looks like someone has been doing their research" he says with a smirk

Nope. Not really. I was forced to listen about this assholes life story

I turn off the stove and pour some soup into a bowl passing it over to him "It's hot, be careful" I say and leave the kitchen not wanting to engage into any other conversation with him 

"Thank you mother" he says sarcastically and I cant help but roll my eyes.

I walk up to my room and decide to watch some Netflix on my phone. I decide to rewatch Twilight. The first and 2nd last movies were my favourite of the series. The other ones I always found too boring.

After the movie finished, I went downstairs to check on how Ace was doing. I see him sleeping on the bed in the medical room. I grab his medication and thankfully he wakes up 

"Here, take these" I pass them to him and he swallows them.

"I need to check your wounds and disinfect them"

He nods his head and sits up turning his back against me and tries to take off his shirt. I help him get it off and start to take off the bandages on his back.

There were a few burnt patches and when I was disinfecting them, he would wince in pain "Are you ok?" I ask him

He lets out a puff of air "Ya, Im ok" he says.

I check on the new forming bruise on his side from his broken rib.

I examine the bruise "Does it hurt more today?" I ask him

 "Yes, it hurt's more then yesterday" he answers

I take his shirt and help him put it back on.

My hands brush against his stomach when pulling his shirt down and he grabs my hand holding it in his.

His moves were so sudden that I gasp and hold my breath in for what feels like forever.

He intertwines his fingers with mine, I feel a shiver go down my spine but that feeling goes away as he quickly lets go of my hand.

I let out the breath I was holding and try to keep myself busy by putting things away, as if nothing happened.

"Is there anything else I could get you sir?" I ask

 "Just call me Ace. And no, you can leave" he says

I don't hesitate another second and leave the room. I decide to give myself a tour around the house. There were many, many and many bedrooms. It was crazy huge, there also was a mini movie theatre which I found.so cool. 

Near the main living room was another room that had a grand piano. With no one around, I decide to open it's cover and sit down on the stool. Jeez, I haven't played the piano for so long.

 I used to play it when I was younger at retirement homes because I never had one at home.

I start to play a song I learned when I was 18. I connected well with music, It's always been an important part of me. I let my fingers glide across the keys playing with emotion and putting my soul and heart into each note I played.

I hear footsteps and I immediately stop playing. What was I doing? Im not even supposed to be in here. I quickly cover the piano and leave the room going back upstairs.

I exit the room and pass by the living room to go to the stairs and notice Ace is watching tv "Do you wanna watch a movie with me?" he asks

I freeze in my spot "Uh, Sure?" I walk into the living room and take a seat on the other side of the sofa.

I don't think there was anyone else inside the house today. It's only us two.

He's holding the remote but isn't turning the tv on. He's just staring at the wall. I look around the room and admire how beautifully decorated it was. 

There were white leather sofas that look like no one has ever sat on before with black tables and decor. It was very modern styled.

After 5 minutes of awkward silence and no movement, I decide to speak "Im sorry about this morning. I didn't really mean the things I said and it clearly wasn't my place to speak about your fiancee like that" I said

I've been wanting to properly apologize all day long. I mean, ya he was a dick but I didn't need to respond the way I did, especially by using his fiancee to hurt him even more.

He doesn't respond but continues to stare at the wall.

After a couple of minutes he leans back "7 years" he says with a smile.

 "excuse me?" I ask quite confused

He turns to face me "We were together for 7 years. She was the only person and family I had in my life" He lets out a sigh

 "But now she's gone, she threw away 7 years of our lives" 

"Im sorry things didn't work well for you" is all I'm able to say 

"She left me while I was in a coma. A god damn fucking coma! I wake up and see her ring and a note beside my head table. She couldn't even wait to tell me in person" He says with hurt.

I feel like this was the first time he was speaking about this out loud. It was as if he was trying to let it go by ranting about it.

"I feel like a beast who scares people. I haven't been outside my house for weeks! I can't bear going out with my face looking like this. I look like a fucking mummy!" he says and starts laughing.

I can't help but let out a little laugh. I mean, he did look like a mummy. BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT! 

"Stop, don't say that about yourself. Ace, you don't look like a beast or a mummy. 

YOU are Ace Anderson, a young man who survived a plane crash and is now recovering. Sure it can be tough at times, but that's the process of healing" I say moving closer to him and meeting his gaze.

After a brief moment of silence, he looks down unto his hands "You know, every morning I wake up and wish I would have just died in that accident. At least I wouldn't have to deal with this" he says in a soft whisper.

I reach out and hold his hand, "You are a survivor. You are lucky and was given a second chance on this earth to change for better. Not many people are given second chances so you should be thankful. Not wishing to be dead" I say.

"Now, are we gonna watch a movie or what?" I ask with a smile.

I feel like letting him rant out his problems helped him realize how he can still live life after getting through the problems. 

That there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that you only need to reach it.

We finally decide on watching Bird box on Netflix but we both fell asleep half way through the movie...
