They keep talking, I see the movements of their lips, but I don't hear any other sound than the crack in my heart when she says she doesn't know who I am.
I feel it in the deepest depth of my body, the aching pain of her words. I feel the floor underneath me disappear, but I stand frozen in my place.
"Aurora, baby," Her mother says. "Don't be ridiculous."
"No!" She exclaims. "I want him gone! I can't... Please go away!"
I lick my lips before pressing them together to prevent a sob from escaping, and I nod.
I force the words over my lips, "Of course."
The tears are burning behind my eyes, but I refuse to cry. I can't afford to cry now.
I should be grateful for the private wing of the hospital, the top floor and only a few rooms reserved for high-end people. Like a racing driver.
3 seconds.
It should've been enough time.
"Young man?"
Why wasn't it enough time?
"Sir?"
This is my fault. If only I hadn't changed plans last minute. If only I had held myself onto my original plan and not gone stargazing.
"Excuse me, Mr Norris?"
But there was no room. I couldn't move aside or I would've hit a tree. The road was barely lit and the other driver was ghost driving.
I feel a rough shake on my shoulder, "Mr Norris?!"
In an instance I'm pulled from my thoughts, realising I am sitting on the floor, knees pulled up against my chest as my back is resting against the wall behind me.
"Sorry," I mumble as I recognise Nurse Jesslyn.
"It's okay, Lando," She smiles at me, she has lowered herself to be the same length. "I believe your team boss is here, Zak Brown?"
I nod slowly, not really taking in her words. But at least I have a visitor, right?
