❛ UNEASY SILENCE❜
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
AURORA WOULD'VE PREFERRED WILL'S screaming to the silence that had encased the hospital as the hospital staff threw open the doors. They rushed Will through winding halls before the staff loaded him on a hospital bed before shoving wires into his skin.
Mrs. Byers was crying as she sobbed over her boy, and Mike still had Aurora cradled to his chest. Will jolted up as the staff began to cut off the PJs he had been wearing, the boy screaming his throat raw. They couldn't stop him, so they just quickly checked his body for injuries, and Aurora realized she didn't enjoy his screams either.
It was blurry, Aurora couldn't remember when Will had gone quiet again, and when his heart monitor slowed to a regular pulse. Mike had led her out of the room, and into a chair by the door. She was by the door to Wills room, listening to the heart monitor.
"I could've done something," Aurora mumbled to Mike, "I could've helped him, I...I just froze up."
Mike squeezed her hand, and turned to face the girl. "No, Rory, you did everything you could've. You helped him in the field, and he's okay now."
Aurora couldn't cry anymore, she had cried for almost a straight hour and it seemed like she had just...run out of tears.
"Aurora," Mike grabbed her face in his hands, forcing them to meet eye to eye, "I promise you this, Will is okay. You helped him, he is alive because of you."
She only nodded slightly, before Bob peaked his head out the door, "Wills awake."
Mike nodded and stood up, holding his hand out for the girl, "Come on, princess. Let's go see our best friend."
Aurora let a small smile slip to her lips as she stood up, grabbing the boys hand as she followed the boy into Wills hospital room. The smile dropped when she saw Will connected to all of the wires.
Will glanced at the two kids that entered the room, a flash of confusion running across his face. Auroras stomach formed a bottomless pit.
"Hey Will," Aurora greeted, "I thought we promised each other no more dying for at least three years?"
"Sorry," his voice was soft as he tried to remember to last conversation they had with each other in a hospital, "Aurora."
