The clock was telling me the time was way past anyone's proper bedtime, my eyes were squinting, beginning to sting from being up for so long. I wasn't really paying any attention to it though.

They kept focusing on the door that the poor guy went through on the stretcher, my hand going up and dragging itself down my face, I jumped a small bit to realize someone was beside me.

"Are you here for Jack?"

"Jack?"

"The man who was just hit this afternoon."

"Oh-Yes! Yes I am. I came to check up on him." The nurse staring at me, trying to figure out if I had any ill intentions, reluctantly beckoned me to follow with a wave of her hand and I stood up from the chair following her through the doors.

It was a hallway that lead into a quaint open little area where some hospital patients were reading books or playing chess, an old record player was singing soft jazz music and everyone seemed so serene yet so... Empty.

The hair on the back of my neck standing up, feeling quite uncomfortable, we passed through the little area and ended up continuing down the hallway. Stopping suddenly, she turned and looked at me trying to decide whether or not this was a good idea.

A sigh escaping her lips, she clutched her hand on a doorknob and gently opened the door. Inside the room there was a little window that showed the empty streets below which lead to the highways.

There was a small little nightstand in the middle of a wall, with a little flower pot and some sunflowers in them. The room had a scented mix of antibiotics, cleaning sanitizers, and flowers. My nose stung a small bit from the overwhelming mix of smells, and I looked away from the flower pot to see two beds divided by a curtain.

One was an empty bed that was closest to the door, and the other mostly hidden by the curtain was taken up by someone whose feet was sticking out from underneath the blankets.

My stomach twisting, I checked back to look at the nurse but she had walked off probably going to check up on other patients. My teeth catching my lower lip, I worriedly walked over to the bed that was shielded by the curtain until he came into full view.

A boy with brown hair, his eyes closed as he was hooked up to a monitor, he looked peaceful, at least he would if it weren't for all the medical equipment.

Tears welling up in my eyes, I crouched down by the side of the bed near his fast and quickly wiped away the tears that hadn't fallen yet.

What the hell am I going to do....I can't afford to pay for this..I can't even bare to look at him. The poor guy, what the hell am I supposed to do in this situation? They don't teach you this in school...

A thought crossing through my mind, I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed a recognizable number. It rang a few times, but then someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's me, Mark."

"I know it's you Mark I have your name on my contact list."

"Oh yeah. That's pretty cool."

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to tell you I'm going to be coming home late, I got into an accident."

"Holy shit. Are you okay?" His voice went up a pitch with sudden alarm, my heart wrenching knowing he would get nervous, because anybody would, I let out a sigh.

"I'm fine, but the other person isn't." He went quiet for a little bit, but I knew he was probably just trying to process what happened.

"..Shit dude, you want me to come visit? Which hospital are you at?"

"No, you don't have to visit it's alright, I was just going to ask if you could watch after Chica for me while I'm here."

"Oh, yeah sure no problem, I'm almost done my shift so I'll check on her when I'm on my way home."

"Alright, thanks man."

"No problem."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Hanging up the phone, I groaned as I cupped my face in my hands and looked over at the guy again. Two open eyes greeting me, I looked away to stare at the window only for my heart to get stuck in my throat.

Wait.

Turning back around, I saw the guy was staring at me, a confused look on his face. Opening my mouth to say something, he got to it first.

"Hello."
