Jacob's POV
     I open my eyes as I hear a door shut. I must have fallen asleep. I look around to see if there's anyone around, but everyone is gone. The hallway is empty. I get up stretching my legs. My knee cracks but once I'm standing I'm all good.
     I wonder if I can see Melody yet. I walk over to the small window on the door. I peak in to see the back of a doctor looming over a hospital bed. Where's he's standing is covering up Melody so I still can't see her. I look down at my hands before feeling my cheeks that are red and puffy from crying.
     I should go clean myself up before I meet her. I start walking slowly down the hallway. As I pass a window I see its light out. I wonder what time it is. I pull my phone out of my pocket turning it on to see that it's 8am. Oh shit! My mom! I quickly look at my messages to see I have 5 unread messages from her.

Mom: How'd the game go?

Mom: Did you win?

Mom: Where are you?

Mom: Are you coming home?

Mom: Are you okay?

I quickly start typing before sending a message back.

Me: Just stayed at a friend's house sorry for not telling you :(

I then shut my phone off as I approach the bathrooms. I enter the bathroom and go to the sink. As I look at myself I realize how bad I look. It's good Melody hasn't seen me like this yet. She'd never wanna see me again. I turn the tap on to splash some water in my face waking myself up.
     As I look in the mirror I look a little bit better but I'm still not my best. But I don't have anything to fix it so I exit the bathroom. As I start heading back to Melody's hospital room I pass the cafeteria doors. That's when a strong whiff of bacon and eggs enters my nose and my stomach grumbles. I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday.
I turn knowing that I might as well get some food. As I enter the cafeteria I walk up to a lady behind a counter.
"What can I get for you?" The lady asks. I look down at the lady who's probably only 5'.
"I would like the eggs and sausages," I say pointing to the eggs and sausages from the plastic window they have so you can't touch the food unless it's handed to you.
She hands me a tray with what I ask for and I move along the counter letting the next person get there food. As I approach the cash register I dig into my pockets for cash only coming up with a 5 dollar bill.
I walk up to the lady running the cashier. She looks down at my tray before pressing buttons in the machine. "That will be $5.10," she says. I hold up the five dollar bill.
"This is all I got," I say.
"That will do," the lady says before grabbing the five dollar bill from my hand and putting it in with all the other five dollar bills she has collected.
I grab my tray before turning and looking out over the tables lined up in rows. There's not many people here yet so I quickly spot Mr and Mrs Hews. I shrug my shoulders before walking over to them because I don't have anything to loose.
