Cassidys POV
"Cassidy. You can't go alone" Crystal says as she leans on the doorway behind me.
"I don't want to. But you have that big meeting. There's no way I'm making you miss that" I say looking up at her then back at the bag I was packing
"What about Sam?" She suggests
"He's heading up to see his sister... remember?"
"Oh right. Colby?"
"I don't know. I don't think he's doing anything"
She smiles at me and turns around to face the kitchen.
"COLBY!" She shrieks and he walks into my room holding a sandwich.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to go to New York with Cassidy. She's going to see Rosey" she says to Colby as he continues eating
"Sure. I'll go with you" he smiles
"Well get ready to go" I say though him his bag.
Crystal walks out and Colby begins to pack his things beside me. Every now and again, he glances over, And I blush. But I turn me head away quickly so it's not visible.

"Thank you" I say as we get out of the uber and walk into The airport.
We checked in and waited for about 20 minutes before they started letting us on the plane.
We sat down in our seats and we start talking.
"Do you think Rosey is gonna be ok?" Colby questions, looking over at me.
"I don't know. I hope so" I try to smile, but it hurts too much.
"I'm sure she will be. You're really strong, and you have her genes. So I'm sure she will pull through just fine". I smile at his comment and I feel the plane take off.
New York City... here we come.
****
"Cassidy! We're here" I hear Colby say as I feel a hand shake my shoulder.
I open my eyes and see Colby looking into my eyes. He smiles at me and I give a confused smile back.
"Good morning sleepy head" he giggles
"Morning" I yawn as everyone around us stood up and grabbed their bags.
I stand up and stretch. Colby does the same.
We both grab our bags and make our way out of the plane. The airport was busy and full of young tourists, business men and families.
I was nervous to see Rosey in such a fragile state.
Rosey and I have always been very close. We spent so much time together as kids. That's why it kinda sucked when she first left, and why it still sucks now.
We got an uber to the hotel we staying at and arrived about ten minutes later.
The hotel was nice, and modern. Me and Colby sat on the bed and put our bags away.
"Are you gonna see Rosey now?" Colby questions
"Yeah. It's 12:00pm... might as well" I reply.
Colby picks his phone up again and gets another uber.
****
"Ok the uber is a blue Holden Commodore" Colby says looking around.
"Oh! There there!" I say pointing at a car parked a couple of cars away from us.
We walk up and Colby checks the licence plate.
"Yup" he says and we get in the car.
"Hello. Where to today?" The man greets
"Hi, can you please drive to YulVail Hospital please" Colby responds.
He starts driving and him and Colby break into conversation.
I just sit in the back and listen. I didn't feel like talking much right now. I know it's rude, but I was worried about Rosey.
My thoughts are quickly interrupted.
"So where are you from ma'am?" The driver asks while looking in the rear vision mirror.
"Hmm? Oh... I-I'm from K-Kansas" I say not focusing very well.
"I-I'm sorry if I upset you ma'am?" He says worried
"N-NO! You didn't... I'm just nervous about seeing my sister at the hospital... that's all" I try to smile.
"Oh ok. Hope it goes well then" he smiles and begins talking to Colby again.
****
"Thank you for the ride" Colby says as he gets out.
"No problem" he smiles and pulls away.
We walk into the hospital and are immediately greeted by a middle aged woman behind the reception desk.
"Hello. Who are you here to see today?" She says in a friendly tone.
"Hello. I'm here to see Rosey Mathews..."
"No problem. Are you family?" She says while typing on her computer
"Yes. I'm her sister"
"Oh ok. Hm... room 134. If you go to the forth floor, then turn left into the hallway, the room should be just there"
"Ok. Thank you" I smile and Colby and I walk to the elevator.
We follow the woman's instructions and reach her room quickly.
When we get to her door... I pause. I look at the handle and almost burn holes through it with my stares
"It'll be ok" Colby says, putting his hand on my shoulder for reassurance.
I nod and put my hand on the handle. Twisting it slowly, I push it open...
