Ellie POV

I am dying to know what happened with Melissa. Today I have lunch with her in the cafeteria, so she can tell ms then. My mom still looks at me like I am a crazy psycopath. What? I stood up took two steps and fell down, and all of a sudden I'm trash? I am not that disobedient, but I don't care. Let her be that way. I turn on House (of course) and I watch for a half an hour until a doctor comes.

Ready for lunch? He asks. I look at the time. 12:03. I get up and take my IV drip machine with me.

I roll my IV drip with me down the cafeteria. I see people give me sympathetic looks and I appreciate it, but I don't need sympathy right now. I walk over to the soup choices, and I pick out chicken noodle. My favorite.

I pour three ladles in the bowl, grab a spoon, and two packets of oyster crackers. I ask the doctor if it's ok to drink light pop, and he nodded yes. I took strawberry. I paid for my lunch, and I sat down at the table with Melissa at her. She is eating grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and corn. I smiled and sat down with my tray. "Do you have the results?" I whisper as the doctor walks way.

"Yeah and no." she says and I give her a confused look. "Care to explain?"

"Well good news, no cancer or tumor,"

I let out a relieved sigh as I hold my heart. I don't want Melissa to go through that hell I did.

"Continue."

"But it's odd how clean it is, they said, and they are still trying to think of a diagnosis."

"They told you this?"

"Ummmm." She blushes.

"Melissa! you and your constant spying." I take a sip of my soup, and give her a fist bump.

"Anything else?" I say as I dump the oyster crackers in my bowl.

"Nope."

"Actually! the doctors will let us go tomorrow to our Girls Trip To NYC!"

We squeal and bounce up and down like little girls. We did that when we were young. We still do.

"There's going to be Little Italy, shopping, and Central Park walks-if you can handle it." Says Melissa.

"Maybe." I say. I keep eating my soup until I finish. I take a few sips from my pop, and I walk away as the doctor takes me back to my room.

I go back to my room and I see my mom waiting. I wave hi and she waves back. I feel so happy for tomorrow. It was another long drive but this time it was on a bus. Less chance of accident. I agree. I mean I don't really blame Melissa. It was pouring outside and the other guy driving, was probably to drunk to function. That reminds me. What DID happen to that other man driving the other car that collided, with us? I am curious of course and I wait. My mother goes to eat, and to the bathroom. At that time I cautiously get out of bed. I take my clothes out of a bag for the NYC trip tomorrow that my mom prepared. A purple sweater with a pink heart, black leggings and my wig. I put the straight blonde wig on, and put the clothes on top of my hospital gown. I look normal. Oh how long I have wanted that look. I twirl my "hair" around my finger.

I pass the receptionist as casually as I can. then I look into each room.

No.

No.

No.

OKAY NO NEVER. GET THAT IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD. PREMATURE.

BINGO! I found it. A man in a coma? or was he sleeping? who cares it was him. On the white board in his room it had CAR CRASH written in green marker. Symptoms were written below. Typical. Every patient's room. There is a young woman sitting by him. Looking at her phone. Girlfriend? Wife? I see that she is just waiting for him to wake up.

That's what makes me click.

I remember loosing faith a number of times. Especially during treatment. But now I realize, that I need to win this battle. There are people that need me. There are people, that love me. They need me to fight.
