Warmth Of Your Touch (Part 2:Blink Of An Eye)

Chapter 12: Put My All.

Serena's P.O.V.~~~~~~~

"Can I go back to my room now?" I sit impatiently in the big room,that's almost as a social area for patients and their families.

"Not yet Mrs.Cruz,You will just have to wait."

"Can I at least have a reason why in God's name I'm in here?" She smiles as she shakes her head,and walks away.

I'm way past pissed off,and I'm almost scared I'm going to flip out in front of the people surrounding the area. Looking down at my phone,I notice iv been sitting here over an hour. They brought me down here,telling me i needed to walk around,when really,they are hiding something.

My eyes meet the big windows.Revealing the snow that begins to cover the ground. Snow was always something that brought a smile to my face. I now realize iv been in this hospital for a while. Almost a month and a half i guess. Its just weeks until Christmas,and I'm starting to accept the fact i will either be here in the hospital for it.

Or not at all.

"Would you like to eat your lunch here or at the table?" A young man stands,waiting for my response.

"H-What?"

"Do you want to eat here,or at the table?" I look down as he finishes and i realize I'm sitting on a sofa that lays next to the windows.

"Oh! Um..The table." He supports me as I stand,And i cant help but get annoyed of how I'm treated like I'm not able to do things myself.

Taking my seat,The blue tray is placed in front of me,as the boy leaves me side. My eyes meet the food,causing a thin line to spread on my face.

A sad excuse of a meal sits in front of me,Life-less looking,and almost making you want to puke. Taking my fork,I pick away at something i think is turkey,and take a bite of my bitter potatoes.

My stomach growls with hunger,but the scenery of falling snow distracts me from it. I begin to feel sad at how I cant enjoy my favorite time of year, because of the needles in my arms,along with the white covered walls preventing me from a escape.

I finish the apple on my tray,pushing away the plate still full of the flavorless excuse of a meal. Walking back over to the vacant couch,I lay down front of the windows,Bullying my oversize sweatshirt close,putting my headphones in as slowly reach the point when I'm laying completely down.

Letting the music fill my ears,and sleep take over.

"Serena,Serena wake up?" My eyes snap open from the sound of a woman. Rubbing my eyes,Im greeted with the face of my nurse.

"Here,These must of fell." She passes me my headphones,as i stretch my arms.

"Can I go back now?" She smiles and nods as she helps me up,Closing the blinds before walking me out of the room.

"This sounds very awkward,But i need to to close your eyes." My eyebrows meet,as i stare to see if shes serious.

She is.

I do as she says,slowly,before she guides the way to my room. I take my time as I'm scared ill walk into something or fall,and she doesn't seem to mind. I hear a few of the other patients say h and ask whats going on,but i push them off.
