pisces

✨ twenty ✨

"who are you?"

A woman who looked around forty something asked me. Behind her was a bunch of teenage girls.

"I'm pisces's friend"

"leo west?"

"yes I'm him, I'm leo"

"what are you doing here leo? In a hospital which is probably miles from where you live, at 2 am"

"I need to see pisces,"

"son she's already gonna die and-,"

"I know. I really need to see her for the last time. please,"

She walked towards a group of elderly woman. She discussed with them. The teenage girls were staring at me like I'm a nuisance. I looked away and waited patiently for the woman.

After a few minutes, she looked at me and nodded.

"you can go,"

"thank you so much-,"

"mary. I'm mary. don't take to long son,"

I nodded and entered pisces's room. It was white. The walls, the furniture, everything.

Then there was pisces's, sitting on the bed, listening to music while bobbing her head. I smiled. She looked the same but she had a sad aura surrounding her.

As if realizing my stare, she looked at me and gasped. She plucked out her earphone.

"Hey,"

I walked towards her and sat on the chair beside her bed. She just stared at me not responding to my presence.

"leo what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you"

"It must've took hours for you to come here. Why would you-,"

"I rather spend days just to see you for a few seconds"

"leo i-,"

"no don't,"

"leo-,"

"I don't want to talk. I just want to hold you,"

"Okay."

She stood up and I sat on the bed. Then she sat on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her. Feeling her, one last time. We sat in complete silence.

We held each other for god knows how long until a nurse and Mary entered the room. Pisces immediately stiffen and held me tighter.

"Sir, the operation is about to start. I think it's time to leave"

I stared at the nurse who spoke and nodded. Pisces got off me and I stood up. She cupped my cheeks and kissed me.

We kissed like we were out of oxygen. The only oxygen that was left in this entire room was in each other.

We kissed like we were trying to dig out something from each other.

We kissed like we were savoring each other, trying to remember each other.

She pulled away and smiled at me.

"don't miss me to much hermano"

"I can't promise you anything"

"I know. I love you leo hermano west"

"and I love you pisces east. Till the end of fucking time"

She giggled and kissed my forehead. Mary gripped my arm and told me it was time to go. I nodded. She hugged pisces before leaving.

As the door was closing, I looked at pisces. She was smiling. I wanted to cry, to scream at her but instead I smiled back. Then the door closed.
