Room 302

1.

"Alexis this way please" i looked up at mrs. Anderson.
She wore a tight bun with grey streaks running through her blonde hair.
Her pink scrubs were speckled with a few drops of blood.

She was a nurse for the hospital that i volunteered for.
She was my second best friend.
My first was kacey.
I walked down the hall with mrs. Anderson.
I looked at my reflection through a glass window.
My brown hair pulled back into a high but messy ponytail.
My blue eyes stared back at me.

People always complimented me on my eyes. They always told me i looked just like my mother.
They were right i was dead looking.
I didn't find myself pretty.
I never have.
"Okay alexis here take these flowers to room 302" she said while handing me a vase full of sweet but over powering blood red roses.

"Yes ma'am" i said while nodding.
When i turned on the clean white tiles my sneakers squeaked.
I walked past diffrent rooms.
I don't know why but the hospital always made me feel safe.
It was probably because my mom didn't make it in time but if i got hurt i would be here.

I used to hate the hospital because she didn't make it.
"Alexis how's it going" i saw kacie walk by.
She had her blonde hair with a blue peek a boo streak through her hair when her hair was in a bun you could see it.
Her faded black jeans her shirt that had her favorite boy band on it.
She was what i call 'style'
She always helped me with my makeup even though i detested it but loved it when she did it.

Her make up was always on fleak.
She was taller then me but only by a inch.
Her blue eyes always lit up my world.

Okay enough about me talking about her perks.
"I'm taking these roses to a patient" i said.
"At least they arn't white" she said with a giggle.
Our inside joke was about hunger games.
We both detested white roses because of president snow.
"Bye" i called while i walked away.
Nurses rolled wheel chairs with kids or adults in them.
They would occasionly nod or tell me hello.

I finally found room 302.
I peaked in making sure i wasn't disturbing anyone.
I don't know why i would.
On the sign on the outside said coma patient.
I envied some of the patients they could slip away in to comas and leave their lives and go somewhere else.

I saw a teenage boy in the hospital bed.
I walked over to the night stand.
I placed the blood red roses on the smooth wood.

I looked over at the boy.
I was caught by his peaceful look on his face.
His lean jaw.
His black hair fell over his eyes just barely.

I walked to his bedside.
What was i doing?
I watched his chest fall up and down as he breathed.
I heard the door open.
"Alexis let's go" i heard kacie say.
"Coming" i murmer.
I watch his heart rate on the moniter

I envied him he could forget his troubles. Me? I felt like my father wouldn't even look at me without crying for mom.
I turned and walked to the door.
"Good bye" i mutter.
~~~~~
"Alexis how was school?" My father asked.
I looked at his slouched posture.
His pale grey eyes studied me closely.
I saw his jaw twitch a little when ever he looked at me.
His beard was trimmed for business it was never too long but never not too short.
He wore a suit for his business.
He was the CEO of a famous company.

"It was good" i reply.
I stared at him i watched him twitch.
"Sissy i can count twenty" my baby sister squeaked.
She was only four.
I looked at her.
She started to count on her little fingers.
She had chipped nail polish on her finger nails.
Her blonde hair was pulled in to two high pony tails.
She wore a white long sleeve shirt with a pink tutu she had black leggings and bright red rain boots.
Her hazel eyes lit up when she saw me watching her.

She let out a toothy grin.
She only had a couple teeth so she looked cute when she smiled.
When she got to ten she stopped.
"You finish" she said excitedly.
I started to count on my fingers just to make her laugh.
Everytime i would put my fingers up i would make a silly face for her to smile.

When i finsished i tickled her stomach making her laugh.
"Alexis cut it out be serious" my brothers deep voice said.
I looked up at his dark blue eyes.

He was a year older he was in college.
He always shaved even though he didn't have anything to shave.
His lips were always frowning.
He sat up and didn't slouch.
He had a ring for each finger.
He was single but only because the girl he liked didn't like him back.

I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Your seventeen and you still play around" he grumbled.
"Shut up aden" i said.
He rolled his eyes at me.

"Your just jealous bria loves me more" i said teasingly.
"Am not!" He hiss.
I smirk at him and go back to tickling bria's stomach.
"Aden, bria, and alexis eat your food" my dad said.
I stopped tickling her and went back to eating my beef soup.

After we ate i carried bria up stairs and gave her a bath.
I washed her hair as we sang the itsy bitsy spider.
I would tickle her anytime we sang spider.

After that i put her in her blue onesie and carried her to her bed.
I tucked her in and kissed her forehead.
"Love sissy" she murmered as she closed her eyes.
She could only say certain words.
It always warmed my heart when she said she loved me.
"Love you too" i said.
I walked to the door and turned the lights off.
