Chap 23: A Healthy heart.

CAM's PO Vee

I was tired, literally. It's been two weeks and I was finally getting discharged from the hospital. I kept having back to back seizures so they kept me longer to watch over me. I haven't told anyone about the dream but I've heard the guards talking about it outside the door of my room.

I've been asking what happened to her but no one wanted to answer me. Ever since Mona brought up the situation with tears in her eyes and I got another seizure, they've avoided the topic on a whole.

Tye was still in a coma but they had done the surgery on her and patched up the hole without an open heart surgery being necessary. I hope she wakes up, I couldn't imagine life without her. I sat on the bed fully dressed waiting on Mona and the nurse to come for me, I had to sign my own discharge papers anyways.

"Can I stop at Tye's room before we leave please?" I asked them as they strolled into the room with the wheelchair.

"Sure," Mona gave me a sad smile.

I've been to her room everyday since I stopped having those seizures and was unable to walk around on my own. I felt disgusted with myself every time I thought about her face the last time she was conscious and how she drew her hand away from me when I tried touching her. She was really and truly all I had.

"Hey," I said to Tye.

She wouldn't answer though, she never answered. Her chest was raising and falling and that gave me hope.

"I'm leaving today," I said.

I felt the tear slip from my eye and ran down my cheek. I held onto her still and lifeless hand.

"I'll come back for you though," I said.

"I'll always come back." I held my head low and the tears came full force.

I felt someone hold onto the chair and pulled me out of the room, it was Mona. She was saying something to me but my thoughts were so loud they blocked out any sounds from registering in my mind. I felt numb on the inside.

"Mona," I said. "Please tell me what happened to Cindy." I finished.

"I can't tell you now, I'll tell you soon enough." I heard the sadness in her voice and I couldn't help but to be sad as well but I had an advantage, I didn't know the truth as yet so that allowed me to still believe that she was alive or at least physically well.

The dream I had felt so real and raw. I could feel the depression and deliriousness coursing through her mind, why has she never expressed these thoughts before? She was my only friend for Christ sake, we were supposed to go back to having mimosas at 3 in the afternoon when all of this was over. We were supposed to continue being best friends.

Jay was completely fine, she recovered faster than all of us. She had crutches but she was all over the goddamn hospital as if it was a playground, she was released last week though and was staying at my house. I knew that I was currently in the car with Mona driving me back home but my mind was completely blanked out. I didn't know when I passed my favorite garden on the way in and I didn't know when she turned into the driveway and got out coming around to my side of the car to help me out.

I sat and I stared up at her until she held onto my arm guiding me out of the car. I must've forgotten how to walk because I stood in the same spot watching her watch me.

"Come on," She said.

I stumbled forward with her by my side holding me up. Once we got in, Jay was already at the door waiting to help me. She helped me up the steps and into bed. I lied there staring at the ceiling remembering what the doctor said.
