The hospital makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
I realize that it has been a week. My water at home should have been turned back on by now, but of course, I'm still in this dreary hell-hole.
I'm in physical therapy every afternoon, and apparently I sleep a good 8 hours from 5 am to 1 pm. Someone always keeps watch on me, but they're always gone just before I wake up.
I know it isn't Josh, because at this point he's in an upper grade. He couldn't miss 8 hours.
And Riley is too good of a person to play hooky.
Whatever, it can be a nurse for all I care.
When I wake up, I stand at my full body mirror in my room's bathroom. I stare at my ribs.
Why do I look so-
Disgusting?
Everyday they force me to eat, and instead when I wake up, I force myself to purge it. I'm in a hospital anyway, right?
No one knows. No one cares either. I am nothing. I will always be nothing nothing, but not a dead nothing.
Maybe.
I'm watching tv, and something feels really wrong. I'm dizzy, I'm sweating, I'm seeing things. I hit the big red button on my remote before I fall unconscious.
LUCAS POV
I watch her as she sleeps, per doctor's orders. She usually isn't awake, and her sleeping schedule is quite easy to remember, so the school offered me online classes as long as I keep my grades up. I school myself in her room when she's asleep, and out of it when she's awake. I refuse to let her know it's me, I'm a dumbass for saying things like that to her.
As I come in for Maya's first sleep cycle, a nurse greets me frantically.
"I apologize if I scare you, but Maya is currently about to die, she's been purging her food and not eating enough to keep herself up with her body. She may not live to see tomorrow, or tonight. I'm gonna need you to say some extra prayers for her tonight."
The nurse saw me praying before I slept in the pullout bed beside Maya. I nod, dumbfounded.
Maya Hart. Dead?
It can't be true, the information processes and I fall to my knees as I start to bawl.
And this was all my fault.
