Violet's P.O.V~
Frank and I had walked back into the hospital having a very deep conversation about our relationship which was another cliche I could add to my list. I sighed as we entered Gabi's room which was empty. Gabi sat on her bed having a barbie doll in each hand and slapping their faces together to make them "Kiss". I smile when she looks up and smiles at us as if she didn't remember that I punched her Mom. She beckoned us to come over, I walked up to her and waved to her. She grabbed my hand and I wiped some of the tears coming down, she looked so emaciated and she was so pale. She smiled wider as her eyes began to droop. I kissed her bald head and hugged her, God only knows if she'll live to see the next day.
I sit on her bed, careful not to sit on her legs. Frank takes a seat on the bed too next to me. It was hard to see her suffer, she was a walking definition of innocence and it was clear that her little body couldn't handle the medicine given to her. I remember one day when I visited her, her face was in discomfort and I asked Frank what was wrong and he said that the medicine hurt, that was when she took chemo. We just stared at her playing with her dolls wondering when she will ever get better. I grab Frank's hand when she starts to sleep, her eyelids fluttering closed. We get up and we walk out of the room and out of the hospital as I cried mutely. Frank held onto me as we entered the car. He turned to me while I did.
"She told me one day that God will take her to see unicorns one day and I'm scared that she will gone the next day," Frank signs sadly and I breathe in and out slowly as if it was a mantra breathe in and out Violet I told myself.
"I can't just stand there watching her slip away, it's so painful, she is just so thin," I sign. Frank cries, I've noticed that he cries and in the past the guys I've dated lacked emotion. I sighed and leaned back into my seat and just stared at him.
"She vomited before you came in," Frank signs. "Originally she wasn't suppose to stay in the hospital for this long but the cancer is eating her up and I don't know what to do,"
"Your not a doctor Frank, just hope for the best," I sign and to be honest I may be like a walking inspirational tumblr account but I give the most shitiest advice ever. Frank nods.
"When is Andrea's funeral?," he signs and my heart stops for a second and I sigh. It's tomorrow and I almost have forgotten.
"Tomorrow, have you heard from Marley?," I sign, I haven't seen her since she sent me to my parents and I've forgiven her but I wanted to know if she still was around.
"We haven't been in contact since the accident," he signs and I nod. I nod towards his car key and he smiles and starts the car and begins to drive. Right now I don't want to cry I want to be happy so I suggest:
"Can we go swimming?"
"Um we don't have swimming suits?," Frank mouths and I smirk and it takes him awhile before he laughs and makes a turn on the road toward the lake he had first taken me to. I smiled as I had my hand on his thigh (Originally he used to do that but well gender roles have changed over the yeas my friends). Once we've reached the lake I bolted out kicking off my shorts and shrugging my shirt off. I don't even turn around to see Frank as I enter the water. I emerge from the soft waves to see Frank in front of me wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"I love you," I sign and he smiles and wraps both of his arms around me. I smile sadly, I will miss this a lot. I break away from the hug and bolt into the water and being an awesome swimmer I swim fastly away from Frank but I feel him yank my feet back and I giggle when I get up as he pokes my nose.
"You know you could just live with me," he suggests and my smile falters. I have school and as far as I'm concerned I doubt that there's any deaf interpreters for me around the secluded area. I rub my arms nervously and Frank's smile falters too.
