I stopped crying after a while, yet the guilt never went away. If only I had walked with her. If I wasn't visiting a hospital, people would have thought I'm doing some kind of drug due to my eyes being so bloodshot. We finally entered the hospital. Josh told them who we were visiting, and then they showed us the elevator. After what felt like forever, the doors finally opened. I ran down the hall to room 354. Josh was struggling to keep up, but in the heat of the moment I didn't give any fucks. Not one, not two, NOT ANY. I let him catch up afterwards. I opened the plastic-ish curtain. "Hey, Mel?" I squeaked out. Well, with the way I made the last word sound, it sounded more like a question. And to be honest, I felt like it was. I saw a slow movement. "H-H-Hey...." She whispered. "Oh...My...God..." I said. The beeping rang loudly in my ear. "H-How are yo..u?" I finished. Its hard to see someone you love in this condition. In hospital, lying in that bed, with all the machines hooked up to them. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice that the beeping got a little less loud. My thought trail was broken after I hear Josh run out of the room and come back with a bunch of doctors. "Huh?" I mumbled, looking up. "Sir, you will have to leave..." One of them said. "...No..." I couldn't end up finishing.....The panic was too much. My arms and legs went numb, my mouth and throat went dry and I had fluttering in my chest. Due to my legs being numb, I fell. Josh being next to me, caught me. "Hey, Hey" Josh whispered. After that, he dragged me out of the room and into a chair. "I need to be in there Josh. I need to take care of her" I cried out. These were the thoughts that made Blurry come (and stay) but honestly, I didn't care. "No Tyler. You just need to calm down. She'll be fine" Josh cooed. "And...If...She's not?" I sobbed. I didn't want to lose her. "Well....." Josh started. "Lets just be positive for now" He finished. "Okay. IM POSITIVE I NEED TO BE IN THERE" I emphasized the last sentence. "No. You can't" Josh said, sounding angrier. "F-F-Fine..." I choked out. By then, I was crying into his shoulder. It was hard leaving her - But I knew I had to. So, I sat there, sobbing on Josh's shoulder.
