Chapter 3
Hugh visited me. Of course he was with Tracy, and they dropped me off some of my step mom's lasagna. She a great cook. Her name is Gina. Dad, Tracy, Hugh, and Gina had to leave at 10:30 PM. I saw from afar there car exit the parking lot. I sat there for 20 minutes alone, staring at the ceiling. I felt lonely and like I was dying, even though I wasn't.
A while later, an obese nurse with long neon green finger nails walks in and sits down next to me. She turns off the lights and TV. I turned my head to grin, but she just glared at me. She grabbed a magazine from her leopard-print purse, and reads. I sat there looking at my feet. I wiggle my toes.
And then, I saw something. A shimmer of gold. Puzzled, I looked at it twirling around in swirls. I feel a small grin spread on my face. I slowly reach for it, and my finger blocks the path of the swirls. Gold shimmers explode, filling the room with beauty. I giggle, staring at the gold. But then, I realize something. What am I doing? This is crazy... How is this real? The smile goes away, and the gold slowly disappears.
"What are you doing, girl?" The nurse says, slapping her hands against the magazine.
"Nothing, I swear." I feel insane. What if the incident really did do something to me? I'm seeing things now... This isn't good. I turn away from the lady.
"Go to sleep, I'm tired."
I don't respond to her. Suddenly, I see something again. This time, I stare in shock. A boy. A short little boy, almost see-through. He smiles, giggles, and thrust his hands in the air. He waves them around like a music conductor. Purple ribbons, turquoise confetti, silver swirls, and a gold shine dances around the room, and damn is it beautiful. But, I'm still in shock, jaw wide open.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! GO. TO. SLEEP." The nurse screams, with a hoarse voice. The boy gets startled, and vanishes, leaving the colors to slowly disintegrate. I glare at the nurse, and lay on my back.
What is wrong with me?
Please let this go away... Soon.
I don't want to go crazy, and be separated from my family.
I'm not crazy.
And just like that, I fall to sleep.
