I hung up and sprinted toward the hospital, my flats slapping the pavement. Niall at my heels.
"Go on in." Debbie, the clerk told me when I burst through the doors.
I ran into Caroline's hospital room. She lie motionless on the bed. The heart monitor was silent.
I fell at the side if her bed and started bawling, gripping the sheets tightly.
Niall came in and pulled me away from the bed and pulled me into his arms where I cried.
"She was so young." I said quietly. "She was fourteen. She hadn't even started high school yet. She had never had her first kiss. She had never been to a real dance. She has never known true love. She will never get married. She will never have kids. She will never find someone to grow old with. We can't gossip about our boyfriends. We can't bicker over little things anymore. She was too young." I spoke slowly into Niall's chest.
"I know. I know." He stoked my hair.
Soon I was all out of tears. I had gone numb. Niall lead me out the room after I went to my sisters bed and kissed her goodbye. He shut the door quietly behind me.
I walked into the lobby, Niall holding my hand. I see Harry sitting on the edge of a chair. When he sees me he rushes over and pulls me into a tight embrace. "Nice try, Margo. I paid for your food. You didn't think I would notice but I did." He whispered into my hair.
"I just didn't want you to spend money on me. I would feel bad." I replied.
"No. I paid for your food. But the fact that you tried touches my heart. You truly are an amazing girl."
I blush and pull away.
I look over and see a man sitting in the seat i normally sit in.
I turn to Debbie. "I thought you said you would yell at him if he took my seat?" I said in a joking way.
"I was keeping it warm for you while you were gone." The man stood up. "I'm sorry-"
"Don't. Please."
"Okay."
"You know he tried to read one of your Harry Potter books and I threw a pen at him." Debbie said.
"Good. Don't you touch those, John." I told John menacingly.
I grabbed Niall's hand and led him to the couch that I had claim as mine for the past few weeks. We sat down.
"I am about to obnoxiously blow my nose. Just be warned." I told Niall, grabbing a tissue.
I blew my nose and Harry joined us on the chair adjacent to the couch.
"Can I ask what is going on?" He asked softly.
I explained my situation to him. My voice cracked a few times but I managed to keep my tears at bay.
"Wow"
"That's what Niall said " I told him laughing. "Is my life that bad?"
"When you came out and and talked to me and you were joking with those people, nobody would've known what was going on, your spirit was too light, and your voice too steady. I can't get over that." Harry said.
"Yeah. Well. Humor helps with the pain. I have cracked so many jokes in the past weeks. If I act sad then the sadness will catch up. If I act like it doesn't hurt then the pain lessens. Plus I have always been good at pretending nothin is wrong." I explain.
"You are a very brave lady." Niall says.
"Oh. I am no lady. You saw me eat earlier. Was that lady like? No. I am not a lady. Not even close. It isn't who I am. I am a childish girl trying to figure out life and how to hold up the sky as her world crumbles." I correct him.Part four!!
I hope you enjoyed. I want your feedback and criticism. Lay it on me. Thank you. Love you all.-Veerah
