The problems of us

Chapter 2: hospital? no thanks

"Suppers ready!" I hear my mum shout from down stairs.

I pull out my head phones "what!?"

"Supper!! Is!! Ready!!" My dad chimes in.

"Okay!" I yell.

My mom makes sure we always eat supper together, its nice but its also annoying at times.

I skip down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"What we having?" I ask, pulling out my chair and sitting down.

"Mac and cheese!"

Mmm i love mac and cheese! Only problem is how unhealthy it is.

Oh well, tiny bits, talk alot, distract parents and only eat a handful.

Works every time.

I spoon out a few pieces and start talking.

"So i was thinking...."

My mom rolls her eyes "what do you want?"

She knows me so well.

"My laptop broke a few months ago and-

"No."

I freeze mid chew, "what?"

"I said no, they are too expensive and you don't need one. Your spoiled already." My dad says casually.

I glare at his head and stand up pushing my plate away. "Whatever."

I stomp up to my room and collapse onto my bed.

I honestly don't care about the laptop, i mean i definitely want one but i can survive without one.

Main goal here is that i didn't have to eat.

I got one bite of the delicious food thats enough. I smile to myself, they are so clueless.

"Luna, i just got a call, aunt Susan is in the hospital, come on were going to go visit her." My mom says gently.

"What happened?" I ask worried.

I like Susan, shes actually one of my favourite relatives, she always makes sure I'm okay.

"Her heart monitor stopped working, luckily she was able to push the emergency button before passing out. Shes okay now but their keeping her for a few days just to keep her stable."

This means going to a hospital. Which means the smell of death and needles. I shiver. I hate hospitals. They scare the crap out of me.

I can do this though, Susan needs visitors.

I nod and grab my phone. "Can i drive?"

My mom sighs "fine, but you crash you pay." She jokes.

"Yeah yeah yeah." I mumble.

"Luna, come on its just a hospital."

My mom looks frustrated which i would be too if my kid wouldn't step through the entrance.

"Luna stop being childish, grow up." My dad bursts before walking away.

"When your ready, come to room 786." My mom states then takes off after my dad.

Well this is just great.

I close my eyes and stare at the two doors in front of me.

Ive been in a hospital before and it was just as hard to walk through theses doors as it is right now.

The smell hits you right away, not a bad smell but just a clean smell. But then i also smell death, and pain. It scares me.

I inhale two deep breaths then walk right in.

Aunt Susan needs me, im not going to be selfish.

As i walk i notice my reflection in a window. Gosh i look fat in these pants. Oh wait i am fat.

I shake my head and keep walking.

Eventually i reach room 786 and notice Susan laying on a bed in the corner, beside her is another bed although its empty right now.

My mom is sitting in the chair beside her and my dads standing by the window.

"Hey Susan!"

"Oh Luna! How are you doing?" She replies.

I smile at her and give her a gentle hug. "Me? Your the one in the hospital!"

She laughs lightly "yes well, i thought everything was good but apparently I'm having some heart troubles. Nothing to worry about though."

My face falls "heart troubles?"

"Dont worry about me! Im fine okay?" She grins.

I dont grin back though "whenever someone says their fine they never actually are."

"Come here." She extends her arms and goes in for another hug but this time whispers in my ear "you worry about yourself okay, i want you to get better."

I pull away quickly. Ive told her everything about me except for the... Secret problems i have.

In other words, the mental problems.

Depression has stayed a secret as had the anxiety, so whats she talking about?

I look at her confused and worried. Theirs no way she knows.

My mom and her start talking and the other patient gets put back in her bed beside us. A few of that patients family comes in and before i know it my breath quickens and i start to get fidgety.

"Excuse me ill be right back." I say quickly.

I then rush out of the room in search of a bathroom to hide in.

I run down the hall but their isnt a washroom anywhere.

What the hell kind of a hospital doesn't have a washroom on every floor!?

Before i get a chance to head to the elevator i collapse and inhale sharply not being able to breath very easily. I can hear my mom yell from a distance but theirs nothing i can do until the attack is done.

My tear stained face is in between my knees as i try to steady my breathing with no luck.

"Hey, look at me, deep breaths, okay?" I hear a soft deep voice say from in front of me.

Maybe a nurse?

Are male nurses called nurses too? I feel like that sounds like a female name though.

I look up and see a teenage boy, probably around my age.

My eyes widen and i start to breath even harder.

"Slow breaths, concentrate on my voice okay?" I nod and try to calm down.

"Im going to touch your arm okay?"

I look at him panicked and he comes a bit closer.

I then notice his arms, one has a hospital band and then they both have white tape around his wrists.

He slowly, gently puts his arms around me and i instantly feel safe, i start to calm down and the tears slowly stop flowing.

Then all my senses kick back in and i jump away from him.

"Who the hell are you?!"

He chuckles "I'm percy, and i like your shirt."
