It was beginning to get dark outside, because they had waited quite a while in the waiting room.
Tara poked Atalia's shoulder.
"Go talk to your mom, okay?"
Atalia stood up and ran to the counter without saying a word back to Tara.
"What room is Stefani Germanott-"
The woman smiled and interrupted,
"Room 272."
Atalia walked with a nurse down the hallways until she got to room 272.
The nurse knocked on the door and the door was answered by yet another nurse. He looked back at Gaga with the door cracked open.
"Is this Atalia?"
The nurse that Atalia was with shrugged.
"Yes, that's me."
Atalia smirked and looked at the floor.
"Well, you're one of the only people that are allowed in right now, but we're going to need some proof of your identity-"
Atalia pushed past the nurse and ran over to Gaga's bed.
The two nurses were both watching from the doors with slight smiles on their faces. One nurse waved and then they both left, shutting the door behind them.
Gaga began to sob uncontrollably, for what seemed like no reason. She started talking to herself, which scared Atalia.
"Shut the door again, that's fine too... Monsters wouldn't do that, you shouldn't either, and... And... And-"
"Are you alright?"
Atalia caressed Gaga's cheek with her thumb. Gaga quit crying all of the sudden and began,
"Atalia, baby... I missed you so much, are you alright? What happened to your shirt?"
Atalia looked down at her wrist and saw a big wet patch from where the stain remover hadn't dried.
"Can we talk about this?"
Atalia looked deep in to Gaga's glossy eyes, waiting for an answer.
"Of course we can. Why would you ask? Sit down."
Gaga pat a small open part of the bed next to her. Atalia took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the bed hesitantly. She didn't want to hurt Gaga, but she didn't seem to mind anyways.
"Wait, hold on. I'm going to sit up."
Gaga smiled and scooted over a little bit, which made her wince, and that led to a small yell.
"Okay, I can't sit here. I'm hurting you."
Atalia frowned and looked at Gaga sympathetically.
"You'll hurt me even more if you leave. I wanna' be with you."
Gaga smiled and put her shaky arm around Atalia's neck.
"So, what's going on with my baby?"
Atalia frowned.
"Well, do you want the good news or the bad news?"
Gaga shifted around.
"Both, but give me the good news first."
Atalia nodded and looked directly toward Gaga.
"Well, you know how Dianne died?"
Gaga frowned.
