(Thought I'd better .quit stalling! So here's this! Hope you guys had a great holiday! BTW, since this part is after like3 flashbacks, you might want to check back in part IV...)

-Week later-
"Miss. _______, Tadashi is here." I can't sit up, I don't want him to see me like this. All teary eyed and red faced from feeling sorry for myself. I have so many questions and so much confusion in my head.
"_______?"
"Oh, Tadashi, hi." I mumble out, playing with my fingers in my lap.
"______, ready for some more chemistry stuff? Hey your Christmas lights are off." He reaches over me to turn them on. It lights the lifeless room with a warm rainbow glow.
"I brought- you okay?" He's in mid reach into his backpack and carefully some papers and textbook beside me, then diving back in.
"Tadashi, why are you here?"
"What?" He lets go of his backpack and it lands with a thump.
"Why are you always here? Staying late, and bringing me this pointless stuff," I whack away the papers, they flutter down to the tile," it's not like I need this. What am I going to do the rest of my life! What use is this stuff to me? I'm going to be here until I die! And when I die no ones going to care!" The tears trickle drown my dry cheeks.
"W-why me? Wouldn't your girl friend be mad at you for spending so much time with me?" He stares at me in shock. I felt like a bratty child, crying about a lost toy.
"______-"
"Tadashi, no, please stop. Stop pitying me." I wipe my nose," your-your so perfect you know. I don't understand why you stay here and spend most of your time in this room. You have a life. You have so much more than me. Why are you always here, Tadashi?"
"______, right not the time for me to tell you. I-I better leave, I have something to finish up in the labs." He gathers the papers and his things. He doesn't look back as he leaves. When he opens the door the nurses are waiting outside. They probably heard everything. Before the door could swing shut I heard Tadashi speak to them.

"She doesn't remember."

-5 days later-
Tadashi hadn't visited for five straight days. I don't want to sound clingy, but this was the longest he's never visited. I was pretty mean to him the other day. Sure a day was hard to, but he'd come right away the next morning. I had come up with possible possibilities, but wouldn't he have called? It'd be a lie to say I wasn't bored. I was, dying from staring at white walls and flickering lights all day, and watching Frozen. Drowning in a sea of regret. There was a soft rapping at the door.
"Tadash-"
"________, would you like to go outside to the gardens?" One of the nurses offers. I bite my tongue, it wasn't him. Feeling very disappointed, I can only nod a response. She helps me into the wheelchair and pushes me outside.

As she pushed the cart through the door, a couple of the nurses eye me curiously. The one pushing the wheel chair flashes me a weak smile.

Am I missing something?
