"Erica"
***
"We're gonna get arrested."
"No we're not."
Ollie and Katrin pratically sprinted through the pristine halls of the hospital, dodging around the occasional nurse as they ran to the elevator, Ollie smacking right into the wall as Katrin furiously pressed the buttons. "Up! Up, up, up!" She urged, pressing on the third floor button with increasing intensity. The doors slid shut at an excruciatingly slow pace, making Ollie groan.
"You'd think that a hospital elevator would be faster!" He complained, "what if I was having a seizure right now?"
"Then you would die because of these goddamn elevators!" Katrin smacked the tough metal, before immediately wincing and cradling her fist to her chest. "Ow."
"Are you sure they would bring Erica here?" Ollie asked, the door of the elevator opening and the teens speed-walking out. "This hospital is huge, she could be anywhere."
"She has epilepsy, Ol, which is a neurological condition." Katrin sighed deeply, "this is the neuro ward, she would have been brought here first to be looked over."
Ollie nodded, hoping that his fake confidence was enough to make his cousin not realize that he didn't even know 'neurological' was a word. He would blame it on English not being his first language, but deep down he knew that it was just because he was a dumbass.
"Ollie? Katrin?"
Ollie whipped his head around, worry spiking his chest when he saw Melissa McCall staring back at them, having just exited out of a door to their left. She walked over, a kind smile on her face as she put a welcoming hand on Ollie's bicep, "hey guys, shouldn't you be in school?"
"Hi, Melissa." He grinned awkwardly, glancing over at Katrin, who looked as if she was preparing herself to turn and run away. "We just came to see if Erica's okay."
"Well, she's a bit rattled, but she'll be okay." Melissa glanced over at the door, sighing deeply and brushing her ponytail over her shoulder. "I think it's more of just embarassment than actual pain."
"Yeah, if I had a seizure in front of my class I would be pretty pissed," Katrin mused, earning a punch on the shoulder from her cousin. She looked up, blinking innocently. "Damn-it, was that insensitive? I can barely tell anymore."
"Well, if you guys want to see her, I suppose that would be okay." Melissa smiled, pointing to the door she had come out of previously. "Just don't take too long, and try not to be in there when the doctor comes, they would kill me."
"We wouldn't want that," Ollie grinned, tipping an imaginary hat to Melissa as he walked past, "thank you!"
"Yeah, thanks Mo-" Katrin quickly caught her mistake, "McCall, Missus McCall, Scott's mom."
