I tried not to move as I sat contently, alone in my hospital bed. My fingers traced over the sheets beside me. They were not soft, they were not comforting, just dry and plain. 'How long have I been here?' I thought to myself. I guess I was thinking out loud, because I got my answer.
"Four days," the figure emerging from the hall replied. I whipped my eyes around to see who it was, and I guess I moved too fast because before I knew what was happening I was screeching in pain. It started in my neck and shot straight down. Down my back causing my arms to flail helplessly, to my hips. The figure from the doorway hurried over to me. My eyes squeezed shut due to the unbearable pain. A few more people rushed into the room. I tilted my head to search the door for familiar faces. None. I felt the oxygen mask slide over my face and the pain started to ease. As my eyes rolled back and forth from sleep, An alarm went off inside me to see the door was left open and to my surprise, instead of white halls with nurses flying up and down, there was a solid, grey, cement hall dimmed slightly and thats when sleep took over.

I sat with the blonde girl, who I found out was named Emma, on a picnic table in a near by park. It was warm but the breeze was cool as the evening started to fall upon us. I told her about Julie, and how shes missing. And about the studio and how I keep listening to the song hoping, some how, the words would change and she'd tell me where she is. But they never did. I was staring down at my fingers that were dirty and cracked and I finished my speal. I looked up at her slowly. Tears formed in her eyes as if I told her that her cat died. This didn't effect her, why is she crying? I waited for her to speak.
"I'm sorry.." Her voice trembled as she spoke holding in tears.
"It's not your fault," I said reassuringly. "Don't worry," I continued slowly "I'll find her."

There was a long pause. Emma stopped meeting my eyes and looked away as she discretely wiped under her eyes. "Are you sure?.." She asked quietly. And me being me, over reacted.
"Who the fuck are you to doubt me?!" I started. Angry filled my eyes and my chest grew stiff. I guess with all my mixed emotions it was hard to stay calm.
"Because its exactly the same thing I said when my own sister went missing." The calmness in her voice was heart breaking.
I was dumbfounded.
