I look into her emotionless face and think how she used to smile and laugh. How she sometimes looked sad or worried. I think about how we Weill never see emotions on he face again. I walk over to her, and touch her silky hair.
"Goodbye Lucy." I say before turning away and running out of the ward and into the bathroom. I break down, and cry over the sink.
"Luna? Are you ok?" I hear a familiar voice from behind me and I swing around only to see my science teacher, Miss Staines.
"Yeah, um, I'm fine" I say, which is obviously not true.
"What's wrong, Luna?" She says looking into my eyes.
"Lucy... Ruby's friend... She just... Um ... She... Died!" I say, sobbing.
"Oh, Luna! I'm so sorry!" She said, pulling me into a pitiful hug. Um, this isn't weird at all...
"Miss... What're you doing here?" I ask.
"Oh... Well I had a day of and I was with a friend and the got injured in the... Um... One of the disasters. Luckily we were picked up by a helicopter." She answers.
"Ohhhh. Was she ok, miss?" I ask.
"Yeah, she should be. I hope she will be." She answers. "Well I should go..." She says, washing her hands. "I am so sorry, I hope you'll feel better soon..." She says, hugging me again. Wow, this is awquard.
"Well, goodbye miss." I say, smiling at her.
"Goodbye, Luna. I'll see you soon, probably" she says, smiling back before leaving. Then I break down again and hide in a cubicle so no more people can find me. Well, for now. I cry more and tell myself to stop and that other people have been hit worse by these stupid disasters than I have. I try telling myself I didn't know her very well and that she was mor Ruby's friend than mine but that jus makes me feel bad. I suppose going through all of those disasters together made us all feel like a close group of friends.
"Ugh! What's the point of life?" I yell out to no one.
"Beats me." I hear a sarcastic voice. Ok... Then there's the sound a toilet flushing, then a door open a sink tap and then as hand drier before they leave. As the leave, I stand on top of the loo and peek over the door to see who it was, but I have never seen them before in my life.Kitty's P.O.V.
I still can't believe that she's gone. My best friend, gone. Forever. Dead. I... She didn't even know about her parents!!! We never told her!!! I feel so dishonest that we sat there and talked and didn't say word about it. Not one. She believed they would still be alive. I have been sitting here since she died. That wasn't to long ago, though. I sat there holding her hand, I felt it slowly change from warm to cold, as the last bit of life drained out of her body. When they took her lifeless body away, I just burst into tears as soon as they left. I can just feel the absence of her, the absence of sarcasm and jokes. The absence of my best friend, one of the best people I've ever known. I can feel dried tears on my face and I can taste the saltiness of them in my mouth. I feel like I'm never going to be myself again without her...
Luna's P.O.V.
I feel bad for just leaving like that, but I had to get away. I couldn't cope. I just couldn't. I feel depressed. I feel sad. I feel angry. I feel bad. I feel dishonest. I have do many feeling all bubbling up inside of me.
"WHY AM I SO DAMN EMOTIONAL?!?!" I yell at myself, more tears exiting my eyes. Wait, what? Who says that? I think I just made up a new phrase... Tears exiting my eyes... Ok then... Let's not say that again, it sounds weird... I decide to go back, so I leave the cubicle, dry my eyes wash my hands (what? I hate germs! Just coz I didn't use the loo doesn't mean a can't wash my hands!!!) and leave. I walk back to the ward and when I get there, Kitty is the only one left. She's still sitting in the same place, looking at the now empty bed.
"Hi, Kitty. Where is everyone else?" I ask. I wait around 10 seconds before she answers.
"Oh, hi, Luna, there you are. Um, everyone else went back to their place so they can be 'observed' " she answered, using her fingers make little bunny ear speech marks when she said observed. "I don't know why, though, they're fine."
"Yeah but there could be something else wrong with us they can't see, so they just have to check." I say.
"Oh, yeah." She says, sounding bored.
"So, how's life?" I ask, trying to cheer her up a bit. She gives a very small smile at my attempt but it disappears in a second.
"It's cr-" she starts but stops when a doctor walks in.
"I'm so sorry girls, but I'm going to have to ask you to move." She says.
"Oh, ok..." I answer, as we get up and leave.
"Thank you"
We walk a bit but I realise Kitty has blank expression on her face.
"What'cha thinking about?" I ask her.
"Lucy." She replies. " I'm going back tho my own bed place thing" she add and walk off. "Bye, Luna."
"Bye..." I say and I decide to go back to my own 'bed place thing' I think, smiling slightly as I walk back.
