My sapphire

Chapter Eighteen

The nurses words shake me to the bone, how could she be in coma? I didn't want to believe any of it. I couldn't, not at the moment.

I didn't want to believe that sapphire was going to just waste away on a hospital bed for who knows how long, and its killing me.

To know that someone as beautiful and as kind as sapphire will have to press the pause button on there life, and maybe even have to press the stop button.

After the nurse and pearls conversation ended I didn't really know what to do .. I didn't know if I should have left or even if I could handle myself in the hospital right now.

I decided to just leave.

I didn't want to leave but I knew if I didn't I would have done something, something real stupid and embarrassing.

I walked back to amethyst, "That offer for a ride still up?" Ame nodded, grabbing onto my arm she pulled on me to start walking along with her.

"What did you hear ?" We made are way down to the parking lot, "She's in a coma." I spoke quietly, "The impacted and the way she hit her head it was to much." Amethyst rubbed my back trying to comfort me, "Its sad you know .." I guess amethyst didn't know what to say cause all she did was just nod unsure of an answer.

I gulped and started walking but this time fast , I just wanted to be home under my covers warm and hidden away from the rest of the world. I was scared, of what was gonna happen or what could happen .

Sapphire could wake up but there is a strong possibility she won't.

And that really scares me , to not know what is gonna happen and it hurts so much.

I kept my head down still thinking , and walked the rest of the way to the car like that.

When we made it to the car, I got in the passengers seat and stayed silent. I didn't want to talk and I didn't really feel like it.

Amethyst must have understood my silence because she immediately started the car and drove .

I watched the buildings and people rush by as amethyst speed past them. I wonder what it might be like to just have something normal in your life.

Like something normal, normal.

To actually have a normal life, to have a normal safe family or even like a house/apartment or job .

I put my head in my palm and watched and relaxed as amethyst turned on to are street and put her foot down on to the gas.

She pulled into are drive way and put the car in park, "Ruby go and take a shower and get some sleep, you need both badly." I nodded my head to tired to argue and got out the car.

I stood in the drive way and watched amethyst reverse out of it, I wave goodbye and walked into the house and locked the door behind me.

Today just needs to end.
