"You have to eat, Ryan," Andy protested way too early in the morning.

"But it tastes like cleaning spray."

"It's either the jello or beef broth which isn't actually beef."

I frowned towards the blond boy sitting on the edge of my hospital bed. His white coat was on, along with his stethoscope and pens, this giving him a look that screamed doctor. It was weird seeing him like this, working and in action. I had only ever seen him after work or during break, watching him work was a new thing for me. He had become restless after a day of me being here, so they let him tend to the rest of the ICU patients. I would fall in and out of sleep due to the heavy pain medication I was on, so in between dreams I'd watch Andy.

Sometimes he'd be in my room pushing on buttons, or holding my hand, then other times he'd be visible through my room windows tending to other people. Despite all the complaining he did about his work, he seemed to love his job nonetheless. The way he was caring with all the strangers he helped with. He treated them the same way he treated me. I couldn't help but fall even further in love with him.

"If it's not beef what is it," I asked sarcastically. The jello I had been brought was uncomfortably purple. Its jiggly consistency smelled and tasted like a type of cleaner which wasn't very appealing.
