The above picture is what the girl in the hospital looks like :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you think she'll like them? Wait... What if she doesn't like them?!? What if she is allergic to Tulips?!?! Then she'll for sure hate me!!! What if-"
I grab Conner by the shoulders in an attempt to calm him down, "CALM DOWN SHE WILL LOVE THEM."
He curves his face into a look of worry and sighs deeply.
"Ok, ok I'm calm." I remove my hands off of his shoulders.
"Good." Now go and put those gorgeous, freshly-picked flowers in her room. I'm sure she will be thrilled to see them when she wakes up."
If she wakes up.
He nods nervously and looks at the flowers, rearranging them to make it look nicer.
"Hey look at me." His eyes slowly find mine. "There's no need to be nervous."
He nods slowly looking deep into my eyes as I do the same to him. With my eyes I say "you can do this." I think I actually calmed him down a little. I smile warmly and he turns around and walks into the hospital room trying to grasp the little confidence he has left.
I lean against the wall, my right knee bent and my foot up just below my back on the wall. I cross my arms and wait for him to come out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About eight minuets of utter boredom passes and the door slams open that scares the shit out of me.
"NURSE!!! HELP!!!" Conner yells out the door not leaving the room.
My eyes widen and my heart beats quickly as I move out of my relaxed state. I walk over to Conner in a panic.
"Conner what happened?!?!" I ask nervously hoping nothing bad happened to the girl.
"She woke up. The girl that I brought flowers to is out of her coma."
"Holy shit. Are you sure, Conner?" I wanted to make absolute sure it was true before we were going to disrupt a nurse who was probably dealing with important matters.
"Yes." He responded immediately. I nod accepting his accusation.
"Hello someone help!!!" I yell hoping to get the attention of a nurse or doctor.
A nurse quickly walks to us surprisingly calm and collected.
"Whats wrong Ms.?" The nurse asks with concern.
"The girl in there that was in a coma just woke up." I reply in utter seriousness. The nurse nods and walks in the girls room quickly and efficiently.
The girl with deep skin, now probably paler than usual, looks around the room confused and scared trying to get up and out of the bed. The nurse tries to calm her down and keep her in bed while she continues to act frazzled.
The girl with deep skin was breathtakingly beautiful. I guess I never realized or cared to remember, but she really was. I would guess that she's about fourteen, fifteen years old, maybe sixteen. She had medium length, dark chocolate hair to match her deep brown eyes. She had high, sculpted cheekbones, full lips, and a small nose. She had a delicate, thin figure and looked like she hadn't had a decent meal in a while.
"Calm down! You're ok. You're ok. You were found unconscious in the woods and taken in to our care.You're safe here." The nurse attempts to make the girl stop freaking out and it worked. She calmed down and stopped trying to get out of bed. Her eyes found the nurses and she nodded.
"Do you remember anything? Anything at all from your past?" The nurse asks trying to not overwhelm her.
She wrinkles her eyebrows and looks at her hands that were gripped tight to the white sheets. It takes a few seconds before she does anything. She shakes her head back and forth, replying no.
"What about your name?" The nurse asks with great sensitivity.
"D-D-D." The girl stutters as she struggles to remember her name. The nurse nods encouragingly. "Dove... I think at least." The girl replies with a soft voice.
"Dove, that's-that's great thank you! Just rest for now, don't worry about anything else." Dove nods lying back in bed, still a little skeptical of her surroundings. The nurse grabs a pen and pad and starts jotting some things down that I'm assuming was about Dove.
There is a prolonged pause before anyone spoke again.
"I got you these flowers for when you would wake up, and since you're awake, here you go." Conner speaks awkwardly and nervously. He hands her the tulips and she lifts her right hand up but winces in pain and moves it back to where she was.
The nurse shoots her head back at Dove. "Sweetie take it slow. Don't push yourself... Here, I'll take those." She grabs the flowers from Conner and tries to find something around the room to put them in. In one of the cabinets she grabs a small drinking cup and stacks about three on top of each other so the flowers wouldn't tip over in the cup. The nurse then puts the flowers in the cup and leans it against the lamp on the nightstand to the left of the bed.
"They're really quite beautiful tulips, where did you find them?" The nurse asks Conner.
"Oh... Uh..." He puts his hands in his jean pockets. "Around..." The nurse smiles brightly at Conner and continues to jot some things down on her notepad and a pregnant pause follows.
"So you really don't remember anything about yourself? How you got here? What happened to you before? Why you were alone?" Conner asks trying to make the situation less awkward.
She shakes her head back and forth. "No. she frowns and looks down at her hands again gripping the sheets, but not as firmly this time. "I can't remember anything."
"Thats quite alright," the nurse comments, "it should come back to you slowly." Dove nods her head accepting her statement.
"What's your name?" She asks Conner weakly.
"Conner." He responds with a smile and she smiles back.
"Well, I have to run some tests with you, Dove, so I'm going to have to ask you two to leave." The nurse says looking at Conner and I.
"Ok." I reply. I start to walk out the door when I realize that Conner didn't follow me.
"See you soon, Dove." Conner shyly adds and walks out the door quickly before he could see Dove's response.
