Don't Look Back

Gone

I woke up, and saw that Sky wasn't in the hospital bed anymore. I panicked and shot right up from my seat and ran over to the bed. 

I woke up Riker and he clambered out of his chair, "Where is she?" he asked sleepily.

I said, "I don't know. I'm gonna call her." 

"Hello?"

I let out a sigh of relief, "Sky, you almost gave me a heart attack. Where are you?" 

"I ran home, well, I hobbled home. I got some funny looks walking down the street in a hospital gown." 

I said, "I'm just happy you're okay. How's your wrist? You never got your painkillers." 

She said, "I know, but I couldn't stay. I'm going to be working forever to pay off that hospital bill, and you know I can't afford the painkillers." 

I said, "Please, let me pay for them, you know I have the money." 

She said, "You know how I feel about that. I can't take your money, please, I'll be fine." she paused, "I gotta go, text me later." 

I said, "Ok, I will. Bye."
