And yet - after Tiffany argued with the nurses, she came back with a pizza.
-Enjoy your meal! - she said, satisfied, putting the box on the bed.
-How did they let you in with that?
-Oh, I have my ways.
-But you didn't kill anyone?!
-Um... well, no. Nobody in the hospital. Unless you count the guy on the street, but that's different, right?
-Tiffany!
-You're hungry, you're angry. - she said and started pushing a piece of pizza into her mouth. Nica was so hungry that she bit him without hesitation. Then a nurse burst in and started yelling that Nica couldn't eat anything other than light food, so Tiffany ended up feeding her a buttered slice.
-But you tried, I appreciate it. - she said, taking another bite. - You eat it. You've been sitting here so long, I'm sure you're hungry.
-Honestly, I was so devastated that I don't feel hungry at all. I was worried about you. I thought he really killed you. But then I felt your pulse. Because you are strong and your heart still beats. How much of what I said to Chucky did you hear?
-Actually, that's all. But... it was really nice of you, what you said about me... I didn't know you thought of me that way. And thank you for saving my life. Even after all this... - the girl lowered her eyes. - If it weren't for you, I would probably die there on the floor. And I'm glad you finally realized your mistake. - here she made a short pause and after a while she added - I'm sorry that Chucky treats you so badly.
-I'm used to it now. It's no big deal. - the blonde looked away.
-So you want to talk about it? - she asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. - I studied psychology, I'll try to help you somehow.
-Where should I start?
-How do you feel?
-I'm devastated! I don't know what to think about him! When we are together it is bad, when we are apart it is also bad. One moment he says he cares and is nice and the next moment he makes me feel sad. I really try for him and what does he do? He doesn't appreciate me at all! He never told me that he liked spending time with me or that he was happy to have me! Or maybe I am completely indifferent to him?! Since yesterday he hasn't even been interested in where I am!!!
-If he really cares, he should show it better. I think you should talk to him honestly and tell him your thoughts.
-Do you think he'll want to listen?
-If he cares, yes.
-I... I think I can try. Thank you Nica. - she said and wanted to hug her.
-Wait. - the girl stopped her. - I appreciate what you said about me and the way you acted towards me, but I don't think we can be friends. Tiffany, you saved my life, that's why I won't report you to the police, turn you in, or kill you. You spared my life, so I will spare it for you. And that's all. There will be nothing between us. Let each go their own way. Even what you did won't make me suddenly feel sympathy for you. I still hate you, Tiffany, I still resent you for what you did to me. You took away my limbs, I can't do anything on my own, you and Chucky took everything from me. And do you think things will be colorful and cheerful between us now? Well, no. It's over. I only ask you for one thing: give me peace, let me rest, I want to have at least a little bit of my miserable, sad life. I have no one to live for or anything to live for, I have lost my family, my body, the joy of every day. I am a substitute for the person I once was. And do you know who contributed to this? You. So please, let me spend my last moments in peace and for my sake and yours, tell Chucky that the doctors failed to save me and I'm dead. That's all I ask of you. As for my previous breakdown... I'm sorry, it shouldn't have happened at all. I'm sorry for my outburst, my emotions got the better of me.
