Here is the first chapter to my new story...I hope you guys enjoy. Please give me some feedback...I would love to hear your thoughts. You are welcomed to criticize :) 

 I step out of the car and look up at the sky, the rain drenching me . I quickly make my way inside the hospital as I hear the sound of thunder. I wipe my forehead with my already drenched scarf and make my way to the reception counter. A lady with big round glasses looks up at me. “How may I help you?” she asks rather unhappy. “Um hi can I please meet patient 1402?” I ask pulling at my scarf causing water to fall on the counter. “I’m sorry Miss but visiting hours are over” she says taking a tissue and wiping the counter. “I’m sorry but I have to and I have a special permission from Dr. Katherine” I say taking out the paper from my bag and put on the counter. The receptionist takes and examines it and looking at me every now and then. She sighs putting the paper down. “Okay...patent number 1402” she repeats as she types in the computer in front of her. My heart begins to race and I pull at my scarf causing water to fall on the counter once again, earning another sigh from the receptionist. “Are you sure patent 1402...Neil right?” she asks me looking at me again. I nod as my heart skips a beat hearing his name. “Its just no has ever visited that patent in the last 6 months that he has been here” she says getting up from her chair. I say nothing as I start to follow her. Half way down the hallway she stops to talk to a woman with bright pink scrubs, telling her to stay at the front desk. We proceed to walking again and pass the elevator. “The elevators stopped working last week, now don’t ask me when they are going to be fixed” she says. We talk up to the fourth floor and I start fidgeting with my fingers. We stop in front of room 402 and the receptionist puts her hand on the door handle. I wait impatiently looking at the handle, but doesn’t open. I look up at her. “I’m Alison by the way, but everyone calls me Miss. Ali around here” she says smiling for the first time. “Devika” I say giving her a small smile back and looking back at the door handle. She finally turns the handle and goes in, I follow her. My eyes land on him. I walk up to the small bed and fall to my knees in front of his bed. “Miss. Devika, Are you alright?” Miss. Alison says as she makes her way to me and puts her on my shoulder. My shaking hand takes a hold of his still one as I look up at his face. He looks the same with his round face, thick eyelashes and that scar on top of his left eyebrow, except he isn’t. “Get up Neil, I’m here to take you home” I say looking at him as tears flow down where our hands are connected. My Neil would never be still and quiet. I stand up and sit on the side of the bed as my tears fall on the bed sheets. “Neil, get up” I say slowly this time. No answer. I look back at Miss. Alison, “Why won’t he get up?” I say. Miss. Alison looks confused before answering. “Miss this man is in a coma”. I look back at Neil with wide eyes. “Miss. Devika, who is this man to you?” she asks as she pulls a chair from a desk near the bed and sits down. I smile as I try my best to wipe away the tears that continuously fall from my eyes. “I can’t explain our relationship Miss. Alison.” I stutter putting my hand on Neil’s again. “We have no name for our relationship” I say with a small laugh. Miss. Alison looks at me, “How is it that this is the first time you have come to visit him?” she says getting up from her chair and pouring some water in a cup and bringing it over to me. I take the cup from her and take a long sip. “I- I didn’t know” I say as she takes the cup from me. “Well it sure looks like you care alot for this boy, I can tell you can’t see him like this.” She says sitting back on her chair. I look down at Neil. “I don’t think any anyone can ever stand seeing Neil.” I says as another tear flows down my cheek. “He was always crazy, never quiet, always talking away like there was nothing else in the whole to do”. “How did he get here, what happened?” Miss. Alison asks straightening up in her chair. “Where do you want me to start?” I ask. “From the start Miss. Devika” She says folding her hands together. I sigh looking at Neil.
