A Tale Dark and Grimm [ON HOLD]

Chapter 18

I was waiting for the doctor to come back in the room for the cure. After an hour he came in without any cure or anything in his hand. He walked up to me and my mom and said;

"We have to make the cure, in your case, more stronger."

"So when can we expect for her to have the cure?"

"In about a hour".

Become I could respond my mom politely said "Ok" and smiled at him.

I gave her a playful stare and she went back to looking at her "People" magazine.

So now bored I went to the vending machine and put in "B3" the choice for a QUEST BAR. The machine whirred and in about 2 seconds a QUEST BAR popped out. I unwrapped it an devoured it in a time span of 1-10 seconds. I know so ladylike. On my way back to my moms room I saw Benjamin waiting outside her room sitting down and reading a magazine. I took a seat next him.

"Hey" I said,

He put down his magazine and looked at me. "Hey".

"Um.. No offense but why are you still here?" I said trying not to sound rude.

"After all the trouble we went through to get the flower - all the people we lost" he said, his voice breaking. " I want to see your mom get healed.

"Benjamin.. where's your parents?"

"I don't know them. I was raised by my grandmother, and she refuses to talk about them."

"Oh.. I'm sorry Benjamin." I said feeling like a jerk.

"Its ok you didn't know."

"No its not" I said really hating myself. "After we get the cure for my mom, I promise that we'll go and look for your parents."

"Jane its ok you really don't have t-"

"But, I want to".

The doctor came back and went into my mom's room. Me and Benjamin followed. He was there reviewing some papers on a metallic clipboard, then he made his way back out of the room.

"What's the current situation of the cure?" I asked the doctor.

"It'll be ready in 30 minutes."

I made my way to one of the chairs outside the room and picked up a magazine
                     
                      Thirty Minutes Later

The doctor made his way into my moms room with a few other doctors following. Pushing through the crowd I got to the front where my mom was given the cure. She drank the orange liquid and when she finished the vial she fainted. I instantly ran to her and looked at all the doctors swarming around the room.

"What happened to her?!"

"She is recovering" said one of the doctors from the back."She'll be back in a days wait."
I exited the room and saw Benjamin sitting down reading a "VOGUE" magazine.  I sat down next to him and he looked up from the magazine and then looked back. I leaned my head against bis shoulder and then drifted off to sleep.......
