Ravens POV

Oh fuck how do I explain this without people thinking I am insane and he’s a freak.  I decided just to lie basically and so I did.  They came in at 6pm I had just finished talking to Dylan and he was going for something to eat but I had decided for tonight he was my secret that would be tomorrow’s topic so tonight was normal.  Luckily for me the nurse that had been on today and spoke to him was busy with someone else so didn’t bother us.  My mam told me about work, so did my stepdad it was mundane but I enjoyed it and then my brother turned up with his girlfriend and son and that got a bit much in my room as my nephew started to act himself so I asked them politely to leave and they did but as they left I heard my brother telling my nephew off good I thought he could be so loving but with a flick of a coin he could change just like that.  Once they had gone I decided that I was actually quite tired and my mam and stepdad left as well but it was like 7.50 pm so visiting was nearly over. 

The nurse from earlier came in her name was Victoria and she just smiled and said I have a visitor for you at first I thought fuck he’s back and then Glen stuck his head in.  I was so happy to see him I hadn’t seen much of him since the incident and had also been busy with other things. “Hello stranger” I said and chuckled “hi sorry I haven’t been round I actually popped round earlier but you had someone with you so thought I would pop in quickly before work but I only have a couple of minutes” “ oh I am sorry you should have just knocked. What time did u pop in ?” he saw it wrote all over my face the oh fuck look as it registered what he had just said “don’t worry I won’t say anything but fuck girl how the hell did that happen?” “long story one for another day or night but please keep it to yourself no one knows” “no worries sister your secrets safe with me but I want detail’s” “I promise tomorrow come round for 6 can you do that as my family are coming for 7 gives me time to give u a version of events” “yeah sure anyways these are for u” and he handed me some flowers 'and I am getting daggers from the sister so see you tomorrow” and with that he kissed my forehead and left. 

Oh fuck he saw well I know he will keep a confidence so I sit back and put my music on. That’s when the message comes through from Dylan that he has been spotted and I reply saying it’s fine and I will see him tomorrow oh fuck and tell my best friend and family.

I was just dosing off when my phone went off.  Bleep.  I instantly thought Dylan so checked but no it was from grit Christ she was up late.

Grit

Bleep the photo comes through and there he is with Julia having something to eat in the restaurant with the caption VISITING A FRIEND my stomach fell out my arse fuck.  Oh well comes with the territory I guess so I took a deep breath and replied

It took a second to process this and when it did I was shocked how could they know so quickly.

Raven

Dylan

Fuck really ok well it’s a rumour that’s fine I will see you tomorrow and we will discuss things but for now we need to sleep ok so night thinking of you x

Raven

Thinking of you too night xxxx

Fuck but he’s right I am really tired so I put my phone on silent and turn over and sleep takes me away to Dylan in the shower oh those kisses and that dick ok my dream got a bit steamy I am only human.  I woke up the next morning happy let’s just say and went to the shower did what I needed to do and got ready as I was walking back to my room I overheard the nurses talking about press ect outside so I casually said “oh is someone famous coming or something?” “oh I think so” Victoria said and just laughed and followed up with “could be the dude that was in ur room yesterday” I just smiled and continued to walk to my room ok Had to come clean with my family and friends now this was going too fast too quickly but I will speak to Dylan first.  Back in my room I picked up my phone and sent a message

Raven
Please ring me x

Within 5 seconds my phone was ringing “hello” “hi” “Dylan I have to come clean with them all the press are outside the hospital” “ok how do you know it’s for me they might be holding a press conference about something” “not according to the nurses” “oh shit ok well I will see you at 2 and we will do it together but only family and people we trust ok” “ok I am in your hands this doesn’t happen to me” I said and laughed and he did the same and we both said our goodbyes and I laid back put my music on and relaxed waiting to see Dylan.
