"My name is Jenna. I will be your friend for the day, we can go shopping, see a film -"
"you mean we can leave the hospital?"
"we'll yes, of course, I'm volunteering to make your life better, we can do anything you want and I'll come back every Wednesday."
Jenna seemed genuinely nice, not like most volunteers who are fake and are clearly just doing it for their own self fulfillment.
"could we go to the library real quick, after that we can do whatever you'd like." Jenna nodded and then she left, a nurse came in and took my IV's out and stuff.
I felt free, like the birds I see pop outside my window.
I wanted to go to the library to get a book, a real book, not the childish crap I usually get. when we reached the library I walked in there on a mission, I walked straight to the young adults section and grabbed a few books that looked interesting. Jenna didn't come inside which I thought was odd.
The woman checking my books out kept giving me the "does she have some gross contagious disease" look. I wanted to tell her it's rude to stare but I would rather not.
"why didn't you come in?"
"my brother works there and he's a dick."
Jenna then took me to the mall where she tried clothes on and asked my opinion, I always said I liked them.
I was only looking forward to eating some unhealthy food. when I got to the pizza booth I told Jenna to keep it a secret. she complied.
I stayed up all night reading, I saw the sun come up and that's when I decided to sleep.
