Chapter 58

*Gary's point of view*

My head was spinning. What if Yasmin's carrying my baby? Robbie's my best mate, and i've been sleeping with his girlfriend. I see now why he fell for her. "Oi Barlow!" I looked up slightly seeing Mark standing in the doorway grinning at me holding something behind his back. "Hello Mark." I sat up slowly. I was generally pleased to see him. "Hiya Gaz... how're you feeling?" Mark closed the door. "Yeah... i'm good thank you, and yourself? Come in lad." I pointed to a chair next to me. "Yeah i'm good.... i have a present for you..." Mark walked in and sat on the chair. "Oh... what's that then?" I felt like a 10year old boy when it came to presents. "Chocolate!" Mark handed me a gold box with a ribbon on top. "Wow! You know i can't have too much chocolate..." I bit my lip. "Well you're in hospital... and you did save Robbie's and Yasmin's lives." Mark smiled cheekily. "Hmmm.... maybe ONE wont hurt." I winked.

"One Gaz?" Mark laughed as i placed the empty box to the end of the bed. "Ay i wasn't the only one!" I laughed and accidentally banged my arm on the bed railing. "FUCK!" I jumped slightly. "Are you okay??!" Mark looked worried. "Y...Yeah... just my burn.." I sighed. "C...Can i see?" Mark lifted his head slightly looking at my arm. It had cling film around it and a lot of white cream. "If you want." I shrugged a little and unwrapped my arm. There was a burn about the size of  hand down my arm which was bright red. "Fuck Gaz... you're a true hero... a lot braver than me." Mark rubbed my shoulder. "No biggie." Carefully i started wrapping it up again. "No biggie? Jeez Gaz... You saved to people's lives... your best mate and his girlfriend." Mark shook his head and smiled softly at me. "T...Three people..." It almost came out as a whisper. "Three? Who else was there?" Mark raised his eyebrow. "It doesn't matter." I fiddle with the bed sheet. "It does Gaz... Tell me..." He placed his hand on my shoulder. "Erm...Y...Yasmin's..." Softly i sighed. "Pregnant." I bit my lip. "WOW!" Mark grinned. "That's great news! Good on them!" Mark was really happy for them. "Yeah... good on them." I couldn't even looked up i just looked at my hands. "Gaz..." Mark looked at me. I didn't answer him. "Is there something you're not telling me? Is there something wrong?" Mark was always the one who knew when something was wrong. He was a good listener, and helped everyone. "Erm...I've done something... bad Mark..." Unexpectedly i just burst into tears covering my face with my hands. "Oh gosh Gary..." Mark pulled me into a hug and softly stroked my back. Comforting me as i sobbed against his chest. "What is it mate...maybe i can help you... is someone after you? Trying to hurt you?" Mark sounded worried. "No...no..." I sobbed. "Tell me Gaz... i'll help you...we're like brothers." He's right. Mark is like a brother. He's always there for me no matter what. "I've...i've... been sleeping with Yasmin..." I cried even more.
