Room:479//Billie Eilish

Chapter Two

     I sat up in the hospital bed in a criss-cross pattern with my white laptop playing Orange is the New Black while ignoring the food that sat on the table beside me growing cold. I wore grey sweatpants and a plain t-shirt with my long, brown hair tied up into a messy ponytail. This is probably the third time that I have rewatched this series.

     Out of the corner of my eye, I see a blue-haired girl who wore baggy clothes but was also connected to an IV through the glass window of my room. I turned to look at her and our eyes connect through the glass. I have never seen her before and I could probably tell you everybody who stay on this floor. The blue haired girl walked into the room across from mine followed behind by what looked to be a mom and dad and brother.

     My phone then dings.

Mom: hey June bug! Sorry we can't make it tomorrow to visit you😬 we will see you next weekend.🙂

Me: Of course...

     Not gonna lie. I'm disappointed. This is usual but it hurts just the same time each time. Although, I do try my best to understand their situation. It gets lonely here, even though I have Chance.

     Nighttime rolls around and it's about 11:00. I grab my phone and make my nightly trip to the vending machine. Every night I go and get snacks from the vending machine so I can binge watch Netflix and be a fat ass. I put in my earbuds and start to play Tongue Tied by Grouplove. I turn my volume up all the way and go in the hallway. I jog to the vending machine and while not paying attention, I bump into the girl from earlier.

     I take out one earbud "I'm so sorry, I was in a hurry." I ramble while picking up the book that fell out of her.

     "Yo it's cool, Mamas." She smirks and chuckles a little, which caused me to blush.

     "Why are you out of your room so late??" I ask out of curiosity.

     "I could ask you the same." She smiles.

     "I- well"

     The girl chuckles at me while I couldn't get my words to flow out of my mouth. "I'm Billie" She says with half smile while holding her hand out for me to shake.

     I grab her hand and shake it. "June." I reveal a half hearted smile across my face along with the blush that had spread across my cheeks.
