I heard it. Her laugh echoing through the room. That cute little giggle after she shattered down from laughter.

I turned off my phone, making all the sound dissappear.

I was silently staring at videos I made of Tini. Those small moments I had captured, now to look back at.

I was scared, terrified for Tini to be gone. She could be anywhere, with anyone who might have bad intentions with her.

"Jorge! Why aren't you at school?" I suddenly heard my mom's angry voice sound over the room.

I looked up to her, and quickly sat up straight to face her. "Mom?" I asked, widening my eyes at her.

"Jorge! I told you to go to school!" She clearly stated. Her face tone was fierce.

"But Tini-" I started but my mother's voice interrupted me.

"I know Tini is still missing and I really really feel bad about it and I know how much she means to you. But you need to go to school, I promise I'll call you the second I hear they found Tini" She promised me.

I hesitated and wanted to protest hut realised it was no use against my mom. Instead I sighed and agreed.

"Okay I'll go then" I said and grabbed my bag.

"I'll take you" My mom said on which I immediately shook my head.

"No, no, no, I can go by myself" I quickly replied. I couldn't have my mom go to school with me, my reputation would be down in less than a second.

I walked outside the hospital and drove to school. This was going to be a hard day..

Tini was found. She was hiding under a bridge, not wanting to be in the hospital anymore.

I was happy, and immediately rushed to the hospital. But my happiness faded when I found out the twist in the story.

Tini had the urge to run away, she wanted to go and be free. When the officers found her she refused to go with them, but they finally managed to take her.

She wrestled against them, but she was too weak. Now she was locked in a hospital room, no visitors allowed, yet.

She was very aggressive and not fully herself anymore. The moment someone came in she started screaming and try to escape. I didn't know what to do about it.

It broke me on the inside to her like this. So different, like she was possessed.

I couldn't see her, it was for my and her safety. But I still wanted to. The doctor told me that it was because of the medicine she was taking. The medicine made her aggresive and tone hatred towards everyone who was bothering her.

But she had to take the medicine against her pain. The doctors are trying to figure out which other medicine could help Tini without these aggressive side effects. 

A nurse came out of Tini's room, a sad look on her face. "She's crying. She told me that she doesn't want to get mad but it just happens. She feels awful" The hurt in my body gets worse as the nurse told that.

She went away to tell it to the doctors. Just then I noticed her small green eyes stare through the small but long window of her hospital room door. I looked back at her, walking towards her.

I placed my hand against the locked door, on the window. I saw a calming sigh escape Tini's lips. 

"I don't want to hurt you" She said, just loud enough for me to hear through the door. "I can't" She added, a painful smile pressed upon her lips. Her teary eyes looked afraid.

I didn't know what to say so instead I just silently stared in her eyes. "I love you" I finally whispered in response. Her smile got more real, more herself. 

"Don't stay here forever Jorge. Go to school, go and live. Don't let me ruin that" She explained with hurt in her still watery eyes.

"I'm not going Tini" I replied, determined I wasn't going to leave without her.

"Please Jorge. You can visit me after school, after your football training, but don't stay here all day. As soon as the doctors find new medicine I'll be back and come with you to school again. I promise" She said, being very clear she didn't want me to skip school for her. 

"Okay" I finally sighed out. My hand stroke one last time over the window before slowly walking out of the hospital.

I entered my car and drove back to school which I left when I heard about Tini. I went in my class and explained I had to visit someone in the hospital. 

After class Cande immediately walked up to me. "And? How is she?" She asked, her eyes filled wiht hope. 

"Bad, her medicine had taken control of her. The doctors are trying to find new medication but it can take a while" I explained, a sad expression controlled my face muscles.

She just lingered a long, depressed sigh out of her mouth. "Can we see her?" She questioned. The same hope as before showed off in her eyes.

"No," I shook my head, "She is locked in a room, too dangerous for her to be around people"

She sighed again, it sounded so depressed, exactly how I felt.

"I'm just going to the hospital every day to check whether she is fine. You could come with me" I said. She smiled and nodded.

"I'd love that" And that's how we sat down in my car after class and drove as quickly as possible to the hospital.

We exchanged a few words, but both too deep in thoughts to actually create full sentences.

Slowly we walked inside the hospital, I noticed she was anxious to go in.

"Don't be nervous, she won't be mad at you." I assured her, not even knowing if I was right. She let a soft smile play over her face.

The nurse immediately recognised me when she saw me. "Follow me, I think she's calm now" She said, leading us towards the door of Tini's room.

Through the glass of the window we saw her sitting on her bed, alone. Some tears were stained on her cheek.

It hurted to see her like this, struggling with her own behaviour. Cande leaned against the window from the door.

Tini noticed the dark haired girl by the door. She walked against the other side of the glass.

"Cande" She whispered, another tear rolled down her cheek.

"Please get better honey" Tini nodded with the weakest smile pressed up on her lips.

She leaned against the wall, placing her hand on it.

The her eyes moved up and she met mine. Another tear fell down.

I just want to help her.
