What if this was a dream? || Niki and Wilbur

2 - A roommate

Niki:

When I opened my eyes the next time I was in an ambulance. I wanted to sit up but some nurse pushed me back down. "Nikita, don't worry. You are going to a hospital, you've been in a train crash", the nurse explained even though I knew that already. My back hurt, my sides hurt, my head hurt, my legs hurt and my arms hurt. "Are we soon there?" I asked and the nurse turned to me. "Yeah, do you feel pain?" She asked then. "Yes, like everywhere", I answered and she stroked my arm slightly. "Don't worry, we're soon at the hospital where you'll get more medicines!" I closed my eyes again.

"Nikita?" Someone asked and I opened my eyes quickly. I took a quick look around me. Now I was in the hospital. "Hello Nikita, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked reading through my papers. "I'm okay, I guess", I answered and the doctor nodded. "Do you feel pain somewhere?" He asked then and I shook my head. Right now I feel pretty calm and tired. "Okay, great. Then you can sleep through the night. There is another victim from the train crash in the same room with you", he said and nodded towards the other bed. I tried to glance at who was my roommate but I didn't see them since they were sleeping. I gave up and took my phone from the side table. I don't fucking know how my phone is here, but I'm glad it is. "OMG Niki! Are you okay?" "I'm worried!" "Are you alive!?" "NikiiiI!!!?" and about a hundred more messages like that. "Yes, I'm okay, I'm in a hospital right now." I put my phone away. I'm too tired to respond to everyone right now. I looked again at my roommate but they were still sleeping so I couldn't see who they were. Then something catches my eye. It was a guitar. The two lowest strings were broken but I recognize this guitar.

The sun was already high up when I woke up. I rubbed my eyes and saw that the time was 12 pm. "I've slept so long", I thought as I sat up. Then I realized the music. I turned and saw that guitar guy sitting in the hospital bed playing his guitar. The strings had been fixed. "Oh good morning!" He said when he noticed that I've woken up. "Morning", I answered and yawned. "How are you feeling?" I asked and stretched my foot. "I'm okay. A few of my ribs broke but everything else is fine. The doctor told me that you got more hit", the guy said and laid the guitar down turning to me. "Yeah, I have a few ribs broken as well but also problems with my back, legs, arms and I've also hit my head", I listed and the guy looked at me with big eyes. "Wow, that's a lot", he said and licked his lips. "Yeah, but I've got so many medicines that I don't feel any pain", I said and the guy nodded. "By the way I'm Niki", I said and the guy's face lit up. "Oh yeah, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, I'm Will. Some of my friends call me Wilbur but well, Will is shorter", he said and smiled. "Yeah, well Niki is a shorter version of Nikita, but I prefer just to be called Niki", I said and Will nodded. "Okay Niki, what kind of person are you?" Will asked and I started thinking. "That's a hard question", I said aloud. "We can do like a presentation from ourselves to each other!" Will said and dug his notebook from his backpack. "That's a great idea!" I said and took the paper as well. We started writing things about ourselves.

"Are you ready?" Will asked suddenly. I shook my head. "Not yet", I said. "Take your time then", Will said smiling at me. I smiled back and continued writing. All of a sudden my vision started to blur. "You okay?" Will asked. "No, no I'm not", I said and pressed my head to my hands. "Hey? What happened? Do I look for a nurse?" Will asked and stood up. "Yea-", I couldn't say it wholly. Will stood up and head to the aisle. Then everything went dark.

Will

"Hey!! Nikita isn't okay!" I panicked to the one nurse. "Okay, I'm coming right now", she said and took a doctor with her. They basically ran towards our room. And after a few minutes, they rolled Niki in her bed away. "What happened?" I tried to shout but they were too busy to answer. I walked back into our room, well now it was just my room. The place where Niki's bed was looked so empty. I sat on my bed and turned the tv on. I watched the show just a little but it was too boring. I glanced at the place where Niki's bed was. Then my glance moved to her nightstand. There was her paper. I took it and opened it.

Hello, I'm Nikita, but call me just Niki!

I love music and I play guitar and sing sometimes. I have also written a few songs, but they are really bad. :D I'm really friendly, but sometimes I have trust issues with new people. I've been told that I'm really loyal friend so if you wanna believe that, then believe. I have just one really close friend. I live alone at the moment and my family background is pretty messed up...

I saw that she had rubberized something off. I have problems with panic attacks. I put the paper back on her nightstand.
