When everything started to finally calm down Elle leaned back away from her, She could see that the old lady that was writhing before had been removed.
It looked like she had died from a seizure or a heart attack, the nurses started cleaning her bed silently and hesitating for a few minutes before placing a man in the bed. He looked at least around mid to late 30's with creases around his face as if he was constantly stressed, Sera glanced back at Elle who had tears down her face.
She trembled on Sera'a bed, her leg jittering up and down to Sera's annoyance but she sighed pulling the girl to her and wrapping her arms around her almost wincing but holding the pain in.
"It's okay Elle, it's okay..."
She ran her fingers through the dark hair under her chin while soft crying sounds echoed around,
Slowly they pulled away from each other and Sera watched as Elle played with the bedsheets uncomfortably.
"So...how have you been?"
"Really? That's all you have to say to me?"
Elle looked up with wide eyes, her mouth opened but Sera held up a hand.
"You don't think I didn't realise? Elle this is the first time you've come to see me since I've been here."
"I-I'm so—"
"No Elle you're not. If you were you would've been here this whole time, now I know we haven't always been the closest but I assumed you would've been here at the very least before I—"
She slammed her fist down on the side of the bed shouting at Sera,
"Dammit Sera!! Don't you think I feel guilty?! I wanted to come see you but I couldn't because I regret what I did!"
She tilted her head and asked calmly.
"What did you do?"
Elle's eyes grew as she shot up from the bed and turned away but before she could walk off in those prima heels Sera grabbed her wrist and asked again more intensely, Elle exhaled deeply and sat down beside Sera again.
She peered at her heart monitor and back at her,
"It was my fault."
"What on earth are yo-"
"I wished for you to disappear that day!"
They sat in silence, Sera just stared at Elle as she began to explain.
"That day of the car crash...I wished for you to disappear so that I could have everyone's attention for once instead of you, I didn't care how it happened I just wanted you gone..."
"But..why?"
"Why?! What do you think?! Because you always got more attention than me! No matter if it was bad or good you were always the centre of attention while I was left behind! All the time...I hated you...because you were the star and I was a shadow."
They didn't say another word, the tension hung in the air while the heart monitor seemed to get louder and louder furiously in the silence,
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
