Philophobia - My JoURNaL

Chapter 6# Hi, there...

Shit. We noticed Elodie was crying on the other side of the window.

-Why does this happen to us? - She shouted throwing her bracelet to the wall.

We looked to where she was looking at; her mom's bed.

She wasn't watching us, just her mom.

The doctors were holding me so I couldn't move, but I was still looking at them.

-Do you think she will make it?...

-Honestly...?

-Yeah, honestly...

-I don't.

-Poor Elodie...

-Yeah...

-Would you want me to go look?

-Is that even a question?

-Thanks.

Then, (and thank God she did), Max went to hug Elodie.

-Hey, El, come here, I got you. - She said while hugging her in tears.

-Is... Ellora okay? - Elodie asked.

-Hmm, yeah... Well, kinda. She fainted in your arms and cracked a part of her skull in the floor.

-She- she started bleeding in my arms! Don't lie to me, she's sad because I am, right? LIKE, I KNOW! I PUSHED HER! I WOULD BE UPSET TOO!

-Yeah, we all are.

-My... Mom isn't going to make it.

-Please don't say that.

-Why did all this happen all of a sudden?!

-I'd like to know...

-I- I wouldn't.

-Ellora wanted me to come, we can see you through the door's window. She's still in there, being asked some questions.

-You could see me?

-Yeah, wanna see her?

-I- don't.

-Oh... Okay...

I was hearing the entire thing since she opened the window door, and I felt sad when Elodie said she didn't wanna see me, but It was understandable. If that was MY mom, I wouldn't move a toe either.

That scene was just so sad. I couldn't even think about my headhache anymore. They put me in a wheelchair, knowing I wanted to go see Elodie again, and that's what I did.

As they were watching her mom, I somehow managed to reach them, althought my entire body hurted, and when she saw I was near two meters apart Elodie jumped at me.

-I'm sorry, oh, God, I'm SO SORRY.

-No, don't be. I am.

-SHE'S NOT GONNA-

-Shhhh... - I said while hugging her, not letting her finish her sentence. - I'll be right back.

I asked the doctors what happened to her.

-One of her kidneys and part of her right lung have been destroyed. There's no hope, we're sorry.

-Oh, God...

-Do you... Know her?

-Yeah... Kinda... She's my bestfriend's mom.

-What about... The other child?
