I woke up in a bright room. I turned to the side and took in my surroundings. I was in a hospital. Then, all the horrible memories flooded through me. Mum! I sat up and jumped off the bed. I was relieved that I wasn't wearing one of those thin dresses. As I ran out of the room Jake was sitting out in the waiting room, but I just ran past him. He was surprised at first, but then realised I was running for my mum. He started laughing and ran towards me. I stopped running because I knew that I wouldn't find the room.
He caught up to me, still laughing. I was dead serious. He stopped laughing and took my hand, "C'mon!" I let him lead me to the room. It turns out that I was heading the complete opposite direction. I stifled a laugh because I knew this was a serious situation. He opened a door for me and I walked in. I saw my mother there, laying in a bed, still unconscious. I gasped.
I ran up to her and stared at her beautiful face. What happened? I saw a nearby chair and collapsed into it. Jake walked to me and took my hand in his and used his other hand to lift my chin. Tears were falling freely down my face. "Hey, don't cry. Everything will be okay. She's okay," Jake cooed. I sighed, "You don't understand." I burst into tears again, just to be embraced by Jake. He ran his hand through my hair, "It's okay. Shh." I calmed down.
I almost fell asleep, but a doctor walked into the room. "Who's a family member?" I raised my hand. The doctor looked at Jake. "He's a good friend. Can he stay?" I asked, still in his arms. He nodded sympathetically. "Well, Anna Green is breathing, but it seems like the air was poisoned in the room she was in. You were very lucky to have called, or she would've.... died" I gasped. "What about me?" I asked, "Why was I in a hospital room, too?" I asked quietly. He replied, "You had a panic attack and fainted." I nodded. I couldn't trust my voice. "Is Anna going to be alright?" Jake asked. The doctor was silent for a while. "Answer the question." I said sternly.
He sighed, "She's very weak. The air hit her really bad, so we're not sure." I gasped. Jake hugged me tighter. The tears flew so much, I felt a tear drop on my arm. Jake probably shed that tear. "Would you like a moment?" the doctor asked. I nodded. He nodded back and walked out. Once he closed the door, I buried my head into the crook of his neck. We sat there for thirty minutes. Jake picked me up and sat down in the chair pulling me on his lap.
He stared into my eyes and brushed a strand of wet hair out of my face. He smiled and said, "At least you have someone to cry with." I smiled back, "Yeah." He started leaning in. I was surprised, is he going to kiss me? Well, I started leaning in, too. Soon, we were so close, I felt his breath on my face. And in no time sooner, he placed his soft lips on mine. It was a sweet, but passionate kiss.
After a long time, he finally pulled away. We smiled at each other. But, I remembered where we were, what was happening, and who was suffering this. My smile disappeared. "Can we go home?" I asked, ready to burst into tears any minute. He nodded and quickly lifted me off his lap. We walked down the hall to the front office and walked out the doors. I hate hospitals.
Chapter Eight, everybody! I hoped you liked it because Bubbles really did, but he cried a bit. Well, more like a lot. We're out of tissues.... The photograph is the hospital, by the way. So, that's it!
Unicorns and Bubbles,
