true significance

9. changes

It's 12 am. I'm sitting in the hospital room slouched in my chair staring at my mother and father. Helpless they look nothing but helpless. I asked ones of the nurses to put their beds next to each other so they could be close, and not feel alone. As I begin to observe the room, I notice my surroundings. I look to my right to see a tv screen in the corner of the wall, then to my left some paintings of sceneries. Beautiful sceneries. Then I look right beside me, to see a lamp, a very dim lap that barely lit up the room. My eyes directed to elijah, who was sitting all the way on the other side of the room. He was staring directly at me, eyes low like he was about to fall asleep. I felt anger rise up in me which made me look at him in hatred, then quickly darting my eyes away from him.

Elijah P.O.V
I pulled up to the hospital, got out my car and began running towards the entrance. I see rose and I yell out her name. "Rose , Rose" she turns around to look at me but turns back to the nurse, and from the looks of it , it seemed as if she was yelling at her. When I finally reached Rose the nurse was telling her to calm down. I put my hand on her shoulder to make her feel a sense of comfort "calm down rose". "STOP TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN" she yelled. And before I even realized what was happening, I was on the ground because she had pushed me. While I regained myself I looked to see that she was already walking through the halls farther and farther away from me. After she's out of my sight I got up. "i'm so sorry about what just happened " I said looking at the nurse and her stretched shirt. She didn't say anything back to me, she didn't even look at me. "What room number is it" I asked rolling my eyes "409 second level" was all she said. I begin to walk through the halls, until I got to the elevator. It seemed like I was in there forever. I walked out and started looking for 409. It actually wasn't that hard to find surprisingly. As soon as I looked in the room, Rose and I made eye contact. I started to walk over to sit next to her, but she gave me a cold look. She doesn't want me to sit next to her. I thought to myself. So I turned around and walked to the other side of the room and sat down. I felt a bad energy from her. I stared at her and never looked away. She sat there, staring at her parents. I noticed She hasn't blinked once, she looks at them like she's guilty like it's her fault. She starts looking around the room. Then she makes eye contact with me. Before I could smile at her she looks at me with anger in her expression. Then looks away. She fell asleep, and soon I started to drift away too.

Rose P.O.V
I woke up shivering, I looked up at the air conditioner that I was sitting directly under. Ugh why did I sit here, I thought to myself. I was looking down at the goosebumps on my skin when I felt my stomach began to growl, thats when I realized how hungry I was. So I got up, and walked out the room to the elevator. Not before checking on my mom, dad and Elijah which were all sleep. I stepped inside the elevator. I groan out in frustration, because it felt as if it dropped 10 degrees. "why is it so cold in here" I said rubbing my hands together. Then the elevator opens, and I walk to one of the vending machines. I look around and there's barely any people here. So I pull out my phone to look at the time. My eyes get big as I read 3:45 am on my phone. I slid my phone back in my pocket and grabbed some trail mix.
I make it back to the room to find four nurses standing near the door. "What happened" I asked worryingly. "Um ma'am we are so sorry, but your father.....he didn't make it".
My eyes not once leaving the nurses. I stood there with no emotion in my expression.
My life had flashed before my eyes. I felt a super strong pain in my chest. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Like everything was over. "Rose, i'm so sorry" Elijah said coming to pity me. "Please don't touch me" I said moving back before he could come any closer. "Rose, I want to help you, I want to be there for you" Elijah said looking at me. "Don't" was all I said in the most blunt way possible. With no emotion in my voice, and no expression in my face. Without another word I walked away, with not a feeling of pain, a feeling of nonchalant bitterness.
