The day Mikey got discharged

Third POV:

12:55 PM

The smell of chalk lingered in the classroom.

The steady scratching of pencils against paper mixed with the quiet whispers of students talking amongst themselves. At the front of the room, the teacher sat behind their desk, quietly absorbed in a book.

Outside, rain tapped steadily against the classroom windows.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

The sound was almost hypnotic.

For Y/n, it was becoming impossible to stay awake.

The past several days had taken more out of her than she wanted to admit.

She had spent night after night at the hospital beside Mikey, barely sleeping for three or four hours at a time. Every time she closed her eyes, some part of her worried that something might happen while she wasn't watching.

Thankfully, Mikey was finally being discharged today.

Unfortunately, Y/n was stuck at school.

At least Draken would be there to pick him up.

That gave her some comfort.

Y/n rested her cheek against her palm and stared through the rain-covered window.

All she wanted was to go home.

She imagined herself wrapped in her favorite blanket, a warm cup of tea sitting beside her while the sound of rain filled the room.

No school.

No hospital.

No fighting.

No worrying.

Just sleep.

She sighed quietly.

Instead, she was surrounded by the same dreary white walls she'd been staring at for what felt like an eternity.

Her eyes slowly drifted toward the clock.

Still too much time left.

"Ugh..."

She lowered her head onto her folded arms.

Maybe she could close her eyes for just a minute.

Just one minute.

The rain continued tapping against the glass.

The teacher continued reading.

The clock continued ticking.
