I closed my eyes and tried to move around, stretch my muscles a bit, but yikes, everytime I tried to it burned like hell. So I just sat there. Staring into space.

Air's POV:

I felt extremely tired but my body refused to let me go to sleep. I slowly turned my head to the TV, a random reality show was playing that I didn't recognize. My lungs felt like they were squished, I could barely feel my wings either. I wanted out, if I didn't get out, just let me die. I waited for a bit, wanting someone to come in here and give me good news. But nothing happened, sadly. I tried one more time to move myself, and the only thing I could lift off the bed for a second was my arm, but it quickly just fell back on the bed, but that caused earth to wake up, startled. "Anything wrong?" He asked, his eyes widen open from shock. I shook my head, even if there was something wrong, he wouldn't be able to tell. "Okay.." He sighed in relief, and plopped his head back down. I tried to scan the room. I was amused by the color of the cabinets, for an odd reason. I liked how a bright shade of pink covered the bottom drawers, and the top was a darker shade of pink, but how would I know what shade they were. My vision was kinda blurry anyway. I wondered if days have passed, and if I'm dead right now and just hasn't realized it. I tried to breathe in, but my breath hitched, making a wave of pain flow through my body. I couldn't do anything about it other than sit there in pain, sad, right? I wanted to just try to get up one more time. But it felt impossible. I felt like crying because of the pain but if I did, I would do that annoying sniffling and stuff. Which would probably hurt alot. I looked back at the TV in the corner and slowly tilted my head to lay it on my shoulder, it stung in the process but what the fuck. A few minutes passed and a nurse came in. "Are you doing ok?" She asked, peaking through the door. I nodded slowly. "Okay, good, if you need anything wake him up!" She said, smiling. I nodded again and she left. I wasn't expecting much, since I'm the hated one around here. Not sure I moved here in the first place to be honest with myself, maybe it was because my parents wanted... Or... 'Needed' me out of their house. I was the least favorite child, maybe it's because I wanted to be an inventor as a child, and they didn't believe in me. Or maybe it's just because I was the youngest. You'd think the youngest would be the most loved, nope, I was a surprise, and a disappointment. I am not sure why I was though, I got all A's, worked my ass off for those hoes. If you asked them how many children they had, they'd say '1' because they didn't consider me their child. Though, they did feed me and give me clothes, give me everything I 'needed' they provided, other than supervision and reassurance that I needed. I never thought of it too much, because I really didn't care. As a child i'd spend all of my time on the weekends in the woods, there was this one specific place whered id hang out at. It was a pink weeping cherry tree by a big pond, I'd journal and study under it all the time, it was very comforting to me. Sometimes I'd sleep under it, it would feel like it protected me from dangers. I was in my thoughts until another nurse came in. "Hello, air, we've assigned you some prescription. It's for your pain, and you'd be able to move more once you take it." She said, smiling. I nodded. "Do you think you could take it right now?" She asked. I hesitated, looking down. I nodded slowly. "Alright, let me get you a glass of water." She kindly said. And she left to get a glass of water. It was probably a bad idea to eat anything right now, but I'd risk the waves of pain that would go through my body just to move. I waited patiently for the nurse to return, and she did. "Alright..." She said, handing me the glass of water. I looked at her with a deadass face. "Oh yea.." She remembered I couldn't lift my arms. She did it herself, which was awkward in my opinion, since I'm an adult and she is too, but, she got it over with. "Give it a minute and you'll surely be able to get up.. With someone holding you up." She said. I nodded once again. She left. I closed my eyes and waited, also on guard if something painful happens. I didn't realize earth fell back to sleep again. "yk what? Fuck it" I thought to myself, trying to lift myself up. It was painful but I managed to successfully sit myself up and lean forward. I strained a bit though. My arm muscles were burning like hell. I sighed as I slowly shuffled myself to get more comfortable, and to reduce the pain a bit. I closed my eyes in relief that I could finally move again. I looked outside a window, it was morning. The sun slowly raised up, saying 'good morning!' As always. I tried to open and close my fists. I assumed the medicine was kicking in cause I didn't feel as much pain as I felt when I first tried. I slowly turned my head back to the TV. I was developing a headache for some reason, making my life more miserable right now. I took a deep breath slowly, just in case my breath hitched and send a wave of pain. I did the same while exhaling. Luckily, there was barely any pain. I tried moving my legs a bit. It stung a bit, but eventually stopped stinging. I wanted to get up off the bed and stretch. And I did, I slowly shuffled my way to the edge, only feeling little pain. But was a problem, were my wings, if I fell, they'd probably get even more crumbled, so, I slowly closed them in, but it started to get painful. So I left them where they were. I slowly slid myself down to the ground, gripping the railing on the hospital bed. I looked behind me slowly to make sure he didn't awaken. I turned back and put one of my feet on the ground, but the aftermath wasn't pleasant to me, it sent a shock through my leg. I gripped onto the railing harder. I wanted to ignore the shocks but they were too painful to not ignore. I put my other foot on the ground, and the same thing happened, "why am I so stupid.." I thought to myself. I slowly slid my back down beside the bed, being cautious because of my wings, and sat on the cold, hard floor, making me shiver from how cold it was. I wanted to wake earth up, but pain would cause me to start sobbing on the floor halfway to him, so I didn't. I could see the TV better from down here anyway. I clenched my teeth because of the atmosphere down here, and I was also cringing at the show. It was so badly animated and voice acted. I leaned back onto the bed and closed my eyes, hoping I'd fall asleep already. "Maybe I have to lay down?" I asked myself mentally. I slowly started to lay down and almost fell, but luckily didn't. I curled myself into a ball for warmth. And it worked, I fell asleep slowly, it was hard to because of, obvious reasons, the floor, and pain.

Earth's POV:

I groggily woke up, in the same place I fell asleep in. Except there was something different. I turned my head to see that air was gone. "What." I said, in shock. I got up in a panic, the door wasn't open, I just didn't see him anywhere. "Air?" I called out. I started walking until I saw him curled in a ball on the floor. Why on the floor? Don't ask me. I sighed in relief. But still confused on how he got there in the first place. I almost had a panic attack. I sat down beside him and watched the TV. "I thought I put it on a reality channel? The hell?" I asked myself. It was so poorly animated I almost cried. Did the drawers even try? No.. Probably not. I sighed to myself and looked down, thinking.
