I've been writing this Story for hours, I lacked motivation, but the The deadline for my book is tomorrow.
Full of anger and doubt, I sat down on my broken little bed, which was more of a mat than a mattress. My cell phone rang, I didn't want to answer it, but my gut told me otherwise.
A few seconds passed and I stared at my phone "unknown weird".

"Hello, am I talking to Castiel Novak?"
"Uh.. who's there?"
"I'm calling from Levita Hospital, Ms Morrigan asked me to call her."
I panicked, hospital?, why did Delaney's mother want me to call?.
Before I could say anything, the hospital woman continued.
"You need to get to the hospital immediately."
She hung up without an explanation. So I lay on my bed, just like that, without moving. I looked at the ceiling, some spots had no more paint, there were many.
I don't remember how many minutes I lay there, I was afraid, what had happened?
Finally I got the strength to get up, I forced myself to my feet and put on the next best jacket I could find. It was maroon, which didn't match my blue-black and white checked pajama bottoms, but that didn't matter either.
At first I couldn't find my car keys, eh always, it was clear.

The way there was long, only red lights and a lot traffic jam.
When I finally got there, I jumped out of the car and ran across the parking lot toward the hospital.
The corridor was long, white, sterile, and empty.
I arrived at a base.
Not knowing what to do here anyway, I asked for her name, I didn't know once if she is here or if something else is.
"Is Delaney Morrigan here in the hospital?"
,,You are ?"
"Castiel Novak."
I was shaking and looking around nervously.
The nurse was typing on her computer, next to which was a piece of bread and a full cup of coffee. "Ah.. yes third floor, room 34"

I went to the elevator.
"third floor, room 34"
When I got to the top, I walked very carefully through the corridors, actually I hate hospitals. There, room 34, I stopped abruptly, my pulse must be beating twice as fast.
I walked in, a doctor and Ms Morrigan were standing in the room, next to them was a bed, the room was very small and as I got closer I saw Delaney, she was on a lot of wires and it was beeping everywhere.
,,What happened?"
Panic set in again, my chest tightened, I couldn't breathe and my throat was bone dry.
"She was found in the park, beaten up and shot, we don't know who it was"

With these words I turned around and ran, no matter where, just away, it's a dream, just a stupid bad dream.
Delaney and I have known each other since Kindergarten, that must not be true.
„No, no, no, no, no," I whispered.
I ran through the hospital, I didn't get any more air and I got dizzy.
Before I knew it, I was running into a young man, my age, dark hair and green eyes.
I fell to the ground and tears came to my eyes. "Sorry, I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean to do that, shit..."
I couldn't speak further, the knot in my throat wouldn't allow it.
"Hey, everything ok, nothing happened"
I got up, looked into his eyes, shimmering green eyes, like the forest, so beautiful that I almost lost myself in it, but suddenly the panic returned and I Lost my balance.
I fell on the floor.
I Lay on the floor.
I saw him take a step towards me to catch me, but it was too late.
Everything went dark.
Wait?
Why is it dark?
