How to Heal

--Chapter Five: Days Go By--

Alex was looking for her sister everywhere. They were supposed to ride the bus home but Alex wasn't leaving without Rosy.

"Have you guys seen Rosy at all? I can't find her anywhere and we have to ride the bus home." Alex asked her teachers.

"Yeah she was heading in that direction." said Ms. Marvey with hesitation.

"Oh no... I have to go!! Thank you so much. You might've just saved her life!!" Alex yelled as she ran out the same doors that Rosy did as well.

Rosy ran for the hospital as a group of people left in that direction. Rosy ran so fast that she passed up a few cars going slower. Her binder was banging against her side and she had tears rolling down her burning hot cheeks. When she got to the hospital, she saw many people on the roof and throwing flyers down to the ground. Rosy looked at her feet and saw the brightly colored paper under her foot.

Support Her Cause

Rosy Letterman has had a rough life and can't escape it. Just a few months ago she had a miracle happen to her. After blood forced trauma to her head, she slipped into a coma and had been injected with a mystery medication that remains in research. She woke up after 6 hours after entering her coma. She's lived months in the hospital and is finally back at school. All of us at North Hampton Jr. High wish her luck in her new journey through life. We want to thank the staff of our school for performing a great act of anger and frustration as the rest of the students said and did rude things. Tomorrow Rosy will be having a multitude of apologies. Rosy, we're sorry for the way we've treated you. After the fundraisers held while she was in the hospital, Rosy will have a party held in her favor and for families who have a child currently in a coma. Welcome back Rosy!!!

Rosy started tearing up and had a smile on her face as her sister ran up behind her. Alex read the flyer and hugged Rosy tightly. The two walked back to the school while trying not to cry that it was all an act. The two went into the school and walked to their area. Rosy went to the bathroom to wash her face one last time and Alex went to her locker and got everything she needed for homework.

"I'll text mom and tell her we need a ride home." said Rosy as she approached her sister's locker.

"We already handled that." said Mr. Wilden from behind both girls. 

Rosy mouthed something to Alex when she turned around in fear and her face turned pale.

"Why would you do that?" said Rosy, her voice jokingly breaking.

"I didn't think it'd hurt you Rosy. I'm sorry" he replied.

Rosy spun around with a smile on her face and tears streaming down her face. 

"Thank you Mr. Wilden." Rosy whispered through her tears before Mr. Wilden came up to her and squeezed her tightly.

The rest of her teachers came up behind them and had big smiles on their faces as Rosy laughed of embarrassment.

"Why are you crying if you're happy?" asked Alex.

"Because I just realized that if that wasn't their doing, they just let me walk out." said Rosy as she tried to still smile

"If that wasn't out work we wouldn't let you leave our sides." said Ms. Farren, jokingly, as she reached her turn for one of Rosy's 'thank you' hugs.

"But you still let me leave, just like that. I mean clearly you care because you're still here but.." said Rosy before Ms. Avery caught her eye.

Out of the corner of her eye, Rosy saw Ms. Avery check her phone with a smile then a look of fear as she put it away.
