Grief and pain. That's all you could ever smell in a hospital. After the whole incident, I was made to wait outside the operating theatre while doctors and nurses walked back and forth until they were just a blur to me. I must have nodded off or something when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
'Are you the girl that came in here with the boy from the car accident,' the doctor asked frowning down at his clipboard
I just nodded pinching myself discreetly hoping that it would just be a dream. The slightly balding doctor just raised his eyes from his clipboard and stared at me. I stared back equally as confused when I realised that he didn't see me nod, so I just nodded again.
Right this way, he pointed towards a small door before muttering to himself.
'Teenagers these days, doing stupid things to get noticed...'
I didn't even have the energy to respond, so I just cursed at him in many different languages under my breath before walking into the door that he had pointed to.
Jay looked so helpless with tubes stuck up his nose and his shattered leg in a cast. God, I have never seen him so bad before and it killed. Every single part of it, yet I smiled through the tears.
'Alia,' he whispered in his soft tone, 'thanks so much for everything,' he said and I slightly slapped his hand.
'Stop it,' I said 'you don't have to thank me, I'm your friend and And I would even give up my life for you if I had to,' I whispered.
Jay just looked into my boring brown eyes with his insightful hazel ones and grabbed my hand with the one that lay limply by his side.
'I know,' was all he said and those two words signified our entire lives together.
His dark floppy hair fell into his eyes and I pushed it back, my hand patting his head like his mother used to do every night, but he just grabbed my arm and pushed it back. I saw his eyes flash to the scars on my arm while he removed my arm from his head.
'I can't do this anymore,' he said in a raspy voice, his voice, lacking its usual tease and charm.
'What?' was all I could muster. I was so confused. His leg was the only thing that was hurt, so he would live for sure.
'Never mind,' he said again and we just sat in silence until his parents arrived.
