the boy walks in at a quarter after fifteen.
he smiles when he sees me.
he says i'm finally awake.
just like the doctor.
i nod.
just like with the doctor.
he asked if the doctor had told me why i was here.
i shook my head.
he sighed, saying that he didn't know why i was here either.
he set down his backpack by the door and walked over to my bed.
he just looked at me.
for a long, long, time.
i asked him how he found me before.
he said he heard soft gasping and sobs near the gymnasium.
i nodded.
he continued, saying that he investigated, and saw me curled up on the ground.
he was already calling someone before he reached me.
he said he was shocked by the amount of blood pooling beneath my knocked out body.
wow.
i never bleed very much after the beatings.
this one must have been special.
i look around the room as he finishes telling me what happened.
the clock on the wall was ticking, slower than usual, it felt.
the fern in the corner of the room was in a pot and was a deep shade of green and noticeably healthy.
funny.
most things that come to the hospital are either unhealthy or dying, unlike that plant.
the wooden door that stood directly in from of my bed had a small rectangular window that showed the outside hallways, displaying frequently passing people.
the metal door knob turns and the door opens to reveal a man with short black hair and a white coat, presumably my doctor.
he asks states i'm awake.
again.
i nod.
again.
he says a short hello to the boy and turns to look down at his clipboard.
on which, is the reason i'm here.
