Take A Chance On Me || William Nylander

Part II

"That is correct"

She eyed me and rolled her eyes a bit.

"He's sedated right now, but should wake up in a few hours"

Michael nodded.

"I can see him, right?"

She nodded and glanced at me.

"Family only"

He turned to look at me and I smiled.

"I should head back to campus" I told him.

He nodded slowly.

"Can I get your phone number, I'm sure my son will want to thank you"

I nodded and pulled out my phone. The nurse frowned a bit as he turned his attention towards me instead of her.

"Are you studying abroad?"

I looked at him and nodded earning a smile from him.

"Does the phone give it away?" I asked.

He lightly chuckled and the nurse cleared her throat. I sensed even he got a bit annoyed and I bit my cheek to prevent a smile after he said,

"You can go back to work, I'll ask for assistance so I can get to my son's room"

She nodded and excused herself.

"Sorry about that"

"It's fine, rules are rule" I told him.

"They don't need to be rude though"

I shrugged and he smiled.

"Where are you from?"

"Los Angeles, California" I answered as I handed him my phone so he could get my number.

He nodded and pulled out his son's phone. My phone started ringing and he cleared his throat as he ended the call.

"Where do you go to school?"

"UCLA" I replied.

"What's your major?"

"Nursing" I responded.

He smiled and nodded.

"Then you know what you're talking about"

I nodded and took the phone he was handing.

"You should go be with your son" I said.

He nodded and I zipped up my backpack.

"Thank you"

I smiled.

"It's no problem" I assured him.

I slung my backpack on my shoulder and looked at him when he didn't walk away.

"Let me call you cab"

I raised an eyebrow as I saw Ellie making her way over. 

"My roommate is actually making her way over" I stated.

He turned around and nodded as Ellie smiled at us.

"I figured you'd want to eat while you waited since you've only had coffee all day"

"His dad actually just got here" I told her.

"Oh! Well I hope your son is ok"

Michael laughed and stretched out his hand as Ellie introduced herself.

"I'm Eleanor"

"Michael"

Ellie nodded.

"So is he ok?"

He nodded.

"Apendicitis is much better than his concussion symptoms worsening"

He looked at me.

"I'll let you two be on your way"

He pointed at me.

"Expect a phonecall"

I nodded and with that he walked away. Ellie nudged me and I shook my head at her. 

"Let's head back to campus"

"Let's go" I said agreeing with her.

She handed me my food and I reached inside the bag. I pulled out some fries and followed her out.

"You must be starving"

"I am" I admitted.

I was looking forward to eating this burger and going to bed after a shower. It had been a long day.

A/N: I can't sleep so I decided to post another chapter cause why not. Time to watch some Mercy Street because I'm a sucker for medical dramas and US history.
