AUGUST 9, 2023
📍los angeles, california

sitting next to the hospital bed staring at arielle peacefully sleeping i felt the corners of my lips raise slightly

i shook my head taking my eyes off and placing them on the monitor beside her which beeped every couple seconds

visions of the 2 days following this moment flashed in my mind every time i would close my eyes

from seeing her body limp, hearing her pleas and cries. my mind was everywhere but where it should be

even worse today was our first game and i haven't been able to sleep or even gather a thought of basketball, it just kept leading right back to her

all i wanted in this moment was to see her awake so i could talk to her but she was in pain and exhausted i knew she needed this sleep

as i continued to stare at her i heard a knock dragging me from my thoughts as i placed my eyes on the door

soon after a body walked in, as i locked eyes i saw it was nelson who wore a slight smile
on his face

"hey cam said it's time to go we have to get ready for the game. you good?" he said staring at me as i kept my eyes on arielle, i just hummed in response

grabbing her hand bringing to my mouth i mumbled something nobody needed to hear but me














groaning as i stared at the food sitting in front of me i stirred my spoon around in the yogurt scooping up a glob

groaning as i stared at the food sitting in front of me i stirred my spoon around in the yogurt scooping up a glob

staring at it again sitting on the spoon i dropped it back down onto the plate leaning back

the nurses had tried to get me eat for hours now but i just couldn't bring myself to, my appetite was nonexistent

i really just wanted to be out of here and back home or anywhere for that fact, i hated hospitals
