Michael's love

The Hospital

I didn't have a phone near me because I left mine at my house, so I couldn't call the ambulance or a taxi to take me to the hospital, so I just ran.
I was really out of breath. It was sunny and hot outside. I was carrying my friend's body to a hospital, and I was running too, and to make it worse, the hospital was about a mile or two away. Not even half way there, I stopped by a nearby bench. I sat on it and put my friend next me me. I was sweating. I took a long break. I watched the cars pass by. People probably thought I was weird, carrying someone's body around. I looked in my bag to see if I had any water, and of course, I didn't. I wanted to go buy some water at the nearest shop, but I also didn't want to leave Ashley's body hanging around. I thought to myself for a second.
"Fuck it"
I said to myself and left Ashley by the bench as I went to the store to buy some water. I opened the door to the store and went inside. Music was playing. It was Africa by Toto. I quickly walked to the isle where the drinks were sold. I got a long bottle of spring water and proceeded to check out.
"$1.24" the cashier said to me.
I gave her $2.00.
"Keep the change" I said to her.
I went out the doors with my water and went back to the bench. Ashley was still there. I opened the water and took a sip. The cold, fresh water in my mouth. I was relieved.
I took another long sip of water and closed it. I put the water in my bag. I picked up Ashley and continued running to the hospital, taking breaks every once in a while.
I finally got to the hospital. I sighed in relief. Goddamn, I sure was happy.
I repositioned Ashley in my arms and walked in the hospital to the lady in the front desk.
"What do you want?"
The lady said to me
I could tell she was a little annoyed by working a lot.
"My friend fainted, and I need some help,"
"Okay what's your name?"
"Lavender, and the one that fainted, that's Ashley.
"Ugh, okay, do you have insurance?"
"No..."
"Okay, then, it's $299.78"
"Okay"
I put down Ashley and I opened my bag and took out three one-hundred dollar bills and gave it to the lady.
"Thanks"
She took my money and gave me back 22 cents.
I took the money and picked Ashley back up.
I went to the special waiting room and sat in one of the chairs and put Ashley in the chair next to me. I picked up a magazine and started reading.
It was about Michael.
The headline said
"Michael Jackson uses SKIN BLEACH"
-experts say
I knew this was fake. One of the very few things I knew about Michael was that he had vitiligo. No doubt this was an obvious tabloid. I put it back in the magazine pile, I couldn't bare to read something so stupid.
About 10 minutes later the doctor finally came in.
I thought:
I'm so fucking exhausted. Ashley's probably dead by now.
"Lavender and Ashley"
The doctor called our names.
"That's us"
I picked up Ashley's body. Boy was I so fucking exhausted, I was in a bad mood.
I walked towards the doctor as he proceeded to walk us to the room.

I laid Ashley on the patients' bed as more doctors came in.
"We'd like you to stay out of the room and not in here"
They told me
"Why the fuck not?"
I said sassily since I was tired.
"Just, Go"
They pointed to the door, they looked really impatient, so I went out.
I don't know what happened after, but they told me Ashley was fine. I waited for a very long time outside the room.
Later, they came out with Ashley. I'm surprised she didn't die.
"What happened? Why did I faint?"
I told her the whole story about how Michael Jackson was there and she fainted, I left out the parts where Michael asked for my name and my phone number since she'd get jealous. After that, we walked home.
