Wednesday Afternoon
2:54P.M.
Hospital Room

Angie sat next to the hospital bed where Luca unconsciously lay.

She was afraid that he was going to die.

Holding his hand tightly, she began to cry. A silent type of weep.

All of the sudden, Betty slowly crept into the room.

Looking over at Angie, she spoke.

Betty: Angie..

She said, as if she were afraid to speak.

Angie silently cried even more.

Angie: Go away.. please.

She begged.

Betty walked a littler closer to the two.

Betty: I'm so sorry.. I'm so sorry, Ang. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I-

Angie quickly faced Betty, and they saw each other eye to eye.

Angie: IT'S YOUR FAULT! HOW COULD YOU LEAVE HIM IN A HOUSE ALL ALONE, KNOWING HIS TERRIBLE CONDITION! How could you..

She weeped in anger.

Angie: YOU'RE A MONSTER!

A tear fell down Betty face.

Betty: I know you don't mean that because I understand that you are very upset right now, but Angie.. please. Let me be here for you.

Angie turned away from Betty.

Angie: Go away.. I don't need you..

At that moment, the doctor knocked on the door of the room and let himself.

Doctor: Sorry, if I'm disturbing you guys..

He said as he walked into the room.

Angie quickly got up from her seat, approaching the Doctor.

Angie: Oh no, not at all!

She shook the Doctors hand.

Doctor: I'm Doc Terry.

Angie: Angie- So how's my son? Is he alright? I need to know Doc.

She asked throwing questions his way.

Doctor: For starters, your son is a very strong young man. I'm amazed he made it through. In cases, like this one, patients usually don't make it.

Angie: So he's gonna be alright?? My boy??

The doctor looked at his clipboard.

Doctor: Yea, everything looks good. He's fine, just resting. He will wake up when he is ready.

Angie gave the Doctor a sudden hug.

Angie: Thank you so much!

Doctor: No problem.

He smiled.

Doctor: It appears that your son overdosed on a drug called "Xanax".

Angie covered her mouth in shocked, looking at Betty then back at the Doctor.

Doctor: Such a deadly drug, but yep, he made it through.

He said patting her back.

Doctor began walking towards the door.

Doctor: I will be back to check up on him.

He said as he left.

It grew silent.
