A Blooming Friendship

Flowers

( 1 month later ) I'm back at the hospital again, this time I'm not leaving.. I'm staying in a hospital bed with another girl my age with the same diagnosis. I don't want to leave mum and dad, or my dance class but I have to. I just want to go back in time... Why me? I've never done anything wrong, I've never stole, I've never bullied all I've done is be a good person and focus on my dance classes...

My mum shaved my hair off so that chemotherapy won't be as depressing anymore. But I do miss my long, chestnut hair. It took me years to grow it out! My mum and dad still say I look beautiful but I don't think so, that's why whenever I'm in the house all mirrors have to be covered.

"Miss Johnson, please go to room 6. Press the buzzer if you need any help. Ivy should tell you what to do." A slender, short haired lady wearing a long nurse uniform groaned. She seemed miserable. "Oh! And Athena, please put on the gown in your room." A plump, rosy cheeked long haired lady stated. They seemed like opposites!

"1... 2... 3... 4... 5...." I mumbled to myself as I looked at the numbers above the doors. "6..." I trembled as I opened the huge door, the handle was icy cold and when entering the room all I could smell was flowers. "Hello! I'm athena." I said, "I'm assuming you're Ivy." The girl nodded. I looked at her bed, it was surrounded by different types of flowers. "Nice flowers!" I laughed awkwardly. "They haven't bloomed yet." Ivy sighed. I then placed my bags down and grabbed the clothes. I walked to the bathroom and put it on, it was silky.

Ivy laid on her bed, looking bored. "would you mind if I put some music on? It helps me." I asked. "Not at all" she replied. I got my phone out and played music. "I'll be getting my headphones tomorrow." I told her. She ignored me and just opened a magazine called 'different plants and were to find them' I then noticed the flower on the cover. "Do you have a lotus flower?" I asked. "No." She snapped aloofly. She obviously didn't want to cooperate with me. I really want to switch rooms now...
