Chapter Six
"I have got you this, And this.."
Danielle had bought another teddy bear but smaller than the one Tommy had given her. Also she had given her a CD of Ectiono 5. It is their first album together.
"I am so sorry.. I was busy with traffic and getting here in time I didn't thought of a present.." I apologized
"it's okay.." She smiled at me.
"Have you made some friends around here?" Danielle asked. And Anne nodded, yes.
"There's a girl Daisy. She's twenty and very nice she has been here for over three years now and told me that she in these two days already felt closer to me than to anyone else here. That really made me feel better." Anne had a huge smile across her face and dammit why didn't I ask her that?
"She made me this drawing of me and James." She showed us the amazing drawing which looked so real.
James is the Irish one from Ectiono 5 and the love of Anne's life! Yes she was in love with him and I know what you're thinking.. How could you fall in love with someone you haven't even met?
Well if someone or something is the only one or thing that makes you happy then you will fall for them, their actions, their smile, their voice, their appearance, their character and just everything about them.
"Sometimes people thousands of miles away can make you feel better than people right beside you."
- Unknown.
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." I stood up and walked out.
I really did need to but also I needed to think things through, I really didn't have anything to think about but I just felt like sitting down alone and store everything.
Anne cut herself and ended up here, she said she's okay but if she really was then why cut? She generally looks okay but then again she doesn't. She didn't finish her breakfast.. We don't know when she will be released. She told Sue but not me. She doesn't want me to get worried but really does she even want me to visit? If she told Sue and Tommy and Danielle then why not me? She's the closest to me, right? It was taking to long so I stood up from the toilet and exited the little stall to wash my hands. The door opened as another girl entered the toilets and if I was right it was Bailey, crying.
Her head dunk down as she turned around after realizing it was me. I grabbed her shoulder and turned her from running, she's not getting arid of me so easy.
"Leave me alone." She jerked my arm away and just walked up to one of the sinks to lean on with her Hands stretching her elbows, she looked down into the sink and I just stood on my place looking at her.
I was confused and worried. Why was she here? What had happened to her that she needed to visit the hospital? I saw nothing physical so could it be mental? Anything psychological? I had studied this, I should have noticed things.. Maybe I saw them but didn't realize. I should stop taking her for granted and why did I keep doing that? She could really irritate me yes, but to take her for granted only because she did? Wait.. No she didn't take me for granted now did she? I wasn't sure and more question came as the seconds passed. I found myself walk up to her and place a hand on her should. She didn't jerk away, Good.
"Synovial Sarcoma" she muttered.
"What?" I questioning expression pressed on my face as I was waiting for her to say something. But she didn't. Instead of saying anything, just anything. She started crying and it soon enough turned to sobs, loud ones. I let my bag fall to the floor and just caged her in my arms. I didn't know exactly what Synovial Sarcoma was but she was somehow sad about it and she needed comfort. I was that. I hoped I was. But still I had doubts about every thought I had.
"Could you please tell me what this.. Syno-whatever thing is?" I was trying to make her calm and we both jumped when a door opened and a woman walked in.
She stared at us probably because sobbing in the toilets isn't a very common thing. Actually it is, it's just not socially excepted.
"Come, we can talk outside." I pulled Bailey with me but soft enough she could just walk by herself.
She was still crying as we tried to exit the building as fast as possible and I just wanted her to be okay right now. We got out the building and just walked around to the back where there were less people and a small field set up for the kids to play. We sat down in the grass and no one said anything. I just waited for her to start since I know that you shouldn't push someone while they're crying, I have experience.
She kept crying and sniffing for a couple minutes but the sobbing has long stopped. I was slowly getting ready for her to speak up. She swallowed her tears and started talking,
"My mom.. She has Synovial Sarcoma." Her voice still shaky and small. "It's a cancer in the bone and muscle. It was found in her arm a month ago by now." She just dunked her head back down ripping and tucking at the grass underneath her.
I was shocked.. She had told me that cancer was going through her family but honestly I was not expecting it to actually happening.. I even took that for granted, if that's possible.
We stayed quiet as I was processing this. Her mom is very kind and such a sweet women. She's positive and shouldn't deserve this. It's unfair. But also is the mental state of Anne.
Anne! Shit. I need to go back before they're missing me! But I couldn't just leave her alone. I should at least just take a visit to her mom.
"Can we visit her?" I asked.
she shook her head no.
"Only family, and visiting is over.. I just got kicked out since I was taking to long." Her voice was calmer and less shaky, still small
"I feel so bad for you, and her. This shouldn't be happening. No one deserves this no one deserves cancer or any decease in that matter... I wish I could do something. I'm always here." I tried to comfort her but it didn't quiet work.
She just shrugged a bit and we stood up after it got to quiet. We said our goodbye's since she really needed to go home and I really needed to go back to Anne and Danielle. I rushed my way in the building only to see Danielle pass me but we both turned around.
"Where were you?!" She said
"I'm so sorry I saw Bailey and she was sad and.. Why are you going home?" I questioned back
"Anne thought that you just took off and left. She was getting tired so she wanted to sleep she told me it was okay if I went home instead of wait here for her." She explained.
Shit! My best friend thinks I hate her exactly when she needs me! I screwed up and I needed to get in there.
"Can I still visit?" I asked but I didn't had any hope.
"Sorry.. Visit hour is over.." She told me and as I walked up to her we walked together out of the building.
"It's just a short walk home for me.." She told me and honestly I just wanted to go with her. I'm not into going to my own house.
"Is it okay if I stay with you for a while? It's only one PM and I'll leave at five I swear. " I begged her a little but she just chuckled and said
"Of course, why not" with a smile on her face.
"Besides, we almost never see each other." I told her and she nodded her head In agreement. We have seen each other three times in the past five years! But this could add up to the fourth time.
We went to her room which I have never seen since this is the first time I'm at her house. We mostly only met in Tommy's house.
Her room was big and she had book shelfs and a king sized bed with white sheets and tuns of cushions in different colors. Her closet had three doors and three drawers. For the rest she had a desk with a laptop and chair of course. The walls were white but some spots covered with posters of Ectiono 5, you could say I only hanged out with people who like or respect Ectiono 5. But there was also Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj etc.
"Nice room.." I said
She thanked me and sat down on her bed.
"Give me your phone.." She sticked her hand out. I had a questioning look on my face and hesitated. "The wifi code dummy." She giggled making me laugh and say 'ohhh'
I handed her my phone as she typed in some numbers. She waited a second for it to connect and then handed me my phone back.
"Thank you." I said, she gave me a smile and then stood up again.
"I heard that you were looking for new books?" She looked through her shelfs.
"Uh.. Yeah, did Tommy say that?" I had read every book already twice and I was getting a little bored of it.
"You can grab some of mine.. Already read every one of them like three times." She just continued looking through all the books she had as I stood up she turned around holding a book.
"Maybe this is something for you.." She placed the book in my hands.
I read the title. 'It's Kind Of A Funny Story' it said and I had heard from it, there is even a movie now. I just never had the chance to read or watch it.
"Thank you!" I told her with a huge smile drawn in my face.
