Chapter 333


    James pov


    I knew I was being unfair and selfish right now.


    All I was doing right now was in ridiculous to me, I didn’t need anyone to point that out to me. The


    money for my ruined suit was nothing to me because I own about a hundred more suits, along with the


    money I had used in settling off the doctor after I had brought ir to the hospital yesterday, the money


    was literally nothingpared to the money I had in one of the numerous bank ounts I had.


    The reason why I was probably doing this was because after listening to her speak about how she had


    no one to call and how the doctor had talked about her health, something had began to swell inside of


    me that I had no way to interpret yet. All I was sure of right now, was that I was worried about her.


    I watched as tears slowly sprang to her eyes which she tried to blink away instantly, but they ended up


    trailing down her freckled cheeks slowly.


    “But– I don’t have any money.” She finally whispered in a voice that was a little bit cracked and I


    grimaced and nced away from he face because somehow, staring at her crying right now, was


    making a weird and unusual feeling bubble in the middle of my chest.


    I knew I could send her off and ask her not to worry about paying me a dime, I knew damn well that I


    didn’t need any of the money I had listed out to her, but there was the urge that was now bubbling


    inside of me, this urge that still wanted to see her– just to make sure she was okay, I guess?


    I cleared my throat a little as I spoke. “Well, you could pay installmentally.”


    “I don’t have money for that! That’s what I''m saying. I still have my rents to pay and some other bills,


    where do I want to find money in which I’d use in paying you back?“ Her voice cracked as she spoke


    and there were tears swimming in her eyes and on her cheeks.


    I let out a shrug and made sure to appear nonchnt, when my heart was cracking st the obvious


    distress and worry on her face right now.

    “I don’t know, that’s your burden to worry about now.” I exin to her and watched as she let out a sob


    as she buried her face in her hands. Her body shook as muffled sounds escaped her hands and it was


    obvious that she was really sobbing right now.


    A part of me pointed out to me that I was being a selfish asshole right now, but I shoved that thought


    right out of my mind. It wasn’t like I wanted to even do a thing with her. It wasn’t like I also nned to


    take any dime from her– she didn’t need to know that yet though. I had no idea why yet, but there was


    a curiousity bubbling inside of me, the urge to make sure she was okay, and all of that.


    Perhaps once I realize that she was indeed fine, I’d inform her that she shouldn’t bother about paying


    me a dime and that I hadn’t been serious from the start– then I’d be on my way andpletely forget


    about her.


    And that would be the end of all of this.

    After the man finally left, I stared at the white, closed door and felt a huge feeling of helplessness


    washed over me in waves. As soon as he had informed me a price range of all what I was supposed to


    pay him, I had almost had had an heart attack.


    How I had gotten myself into a mess as big as this this time, waspletely beyond. I had beente


    that morning and had only wanted to get a cup of coffee because of how empty my stomach had been,


    and in my haste, I hadn’t looked at where I was walking that well, making me collide into a rock hard


    body– and that was exactly where everything went downhill.


    I rang the bell beside my bed, which I knew was going to alert the doctor, and he was in the room after


    about a minute.


    “You called? Is everything alright?” He asked as he began to check my vitals but I only shoved his hand


    off me as I spoke.


    “I’d like to leave right now, I feel perfectly okay, can I please go?”


    The doctor regarded me for a couple of moments before shaking his head. “Absolutely not, you can’t


    leave until you’re officially discharged.”


    “Fine! I’ll just run away then, that’s my strongest forte anyways.” I snapped and watched as he made a


    small sound while regarding me for a moment.


    “You can’t run away because you won’t be let out of the hospital.” The doctor spoke calmly and I


    resisted the urge to p him across the face, because I knew that wasn’t going to do a thing in my


    favor.


    “If there’s nothing I can help you with right now, then I’m going to take my leave right now.” He informed


    and then he was leaving without waiting for a response.


    I copsed onto the bed and let out an angry, frustrated scream.


    Trust my stupid self to get myself into a mess as big as this, thst was the best thing I knew how to do


    anyways, I thought to myself as I felt angry tears sting my eyes.


    I knew the doctor was right, I couldn’t leave the hospital without being officially discharged, it was a


    stupid protocol that was normal in really big hospitals.


    How was I even going to pay back the money I now apparently owed?


    Of all people for me to get into a problem with, it had to be him… of all people.


    My life was such a big, funny mess. Like it has always been, I thought to myself as the angry tears


    slowly slide down my cheeks.


    I hate my life so much.
