The Story of Us

Bandages

"Where is she?!" I yell to the receptionist. "Where is she? Where's Faye?"

"S-Sir," she stutters. "Do you mean Faye Kheane? She's in room 16W. That's on the other side of the hospital."

I sprint out and to my mom's car. "She's in the West wing. Go now!"

We drive around to the other side if the hospital and I jump out of the car. I get to the doors and look at the nearest room. It's room number one. I follow the numbers down the hall, my pace quickening with every step.

I reach room 16W and pause, my hand hovering over the doorknob. What am going to see when I walk in there?

But I have to see her. I have to see if she's alive.

I open the door slowly and step inside with out looking at her. I close the door and turn around.

I freeze. There are bandages all over her left side, and she's hooked up to an oxygen tank and blood injectors.

Saw..yer...

"Faye?" I whisper, sitting down in the chair beside her.

Sawyer...

Faye? What happened?
