-Charlotte-
Brown hair. Brown eyes. Fairly tall. I couldn't get that boy off my mind. I kept thinking about him for a while till I decided to get my day started.
I slipped on a floral dress and pulled my hair into a side braid then applying lipgloss and mascara. I pulled on a pair of flats, while grabbing an apple, my phone and car keys.
I sat in the seats of my car and put the keys in ignition pulling out of my apartment parking lot.
I drove up to the hospital, then went inside signing my self in and then went to go see how my mother was doing. I kneeled down by her bedside watching anxiously for her to wake up. After a while, I sat down in a chair because my legs were getting tired and I realized she probably stayed up late last night.
I eventually made my way to the cafeteria to grab a salad and some water, then slid my tray on a table and ate. My eyes wondered around the room noticing some kids paintings and a couple signs on the wall, so I read them. Then, I just looked over the crowd of people and most of them were either patients or worried family members. That's when I spotted him in the corner, with his head down sparingly picking at the food in front of him. He was dressed in a patients gown though, and I spotted his arms. On the inner part of them, countless lines of cuts were there. I frowned then decided to mind my own business and went back to my moms room.
"Charlie", she croaked then sat her self up. I went over and gave her a hug.
"How are you doing?", I smiled.
"I'll be out next week", she grinned, but still had a pained look in her eyes. We hung out for the rest of the day watching tv for a while then I read to her. Before I knew it, visiting hours were over and I had to go. I gave her a light hug making sure I don't hurt her then said I love you and left.
I walked swiftly through the empty hallways and once I turned the corner passing through the cafeteria I saw him now reading biting at his nails. I closed my eyes and shook my head then kept walking. He was in pain and I have no idea why.
