Lost Friend 15

THE NEXT MORNING!

I actually got some sleep last night. I was tired of the plain walls in my hospital room. Last night Jason had stayed with me until I fell asleep. I wasn't joking when I said that I was done, I really am. I am able to go home today. I just have to wit for my mom to come.

I got out of my bed and went towards the bathroom to change into my real clothes. I had just got out of the bathroom when I heard the hospital room door open.
"hello, honey," My mom said.
"Hey mom," I said
"Are you ready to get out of here?" she asked
"Yes!" I said.

We walked down to the main hallway and she checked me out. While she did I sat in one of the benches and waited, she had to fill out a whole packet. As I was sitting a girl came and sat down right next to me. She started to cry.
"Hey...don't cry its gonna be okay," I said, yeah I don't talk to people but when they are sad and in the hospital I am sensitive.
"Thanks, but I don't think it is," the girl said.
"Can I ask what is wrong?" I asked.
"Well my best friend has cancer, shes uhmm yeah," her voice got quiet.
'I know how it feels, my best friend died..." I said.
"Really?" she sounded surprised.
"Mhm. I was devastated, but then I got used to it, I'm never going to forget him but I've moved on," I said.

"How was it at first?" she asked.
"Well..he died in a fire. We were in 5th grade....he was really my only friend. One day he wasn't in school...a day turned into a week. That friday night I was watching the news with my mom and the story about a fire came on. The whole family had died. They were showing the pictures of the family and in one of them I realized my friend had been the one in the fire. None of his family lived. I had no idea it was coming. I really did miss him. At first I did not talk to anyone at all. I stayed in my room and didn't even go to school. Now the memories are still tough to remember but I move on."
"Woooow" the girl said "I'm so sorry," she said.
"Its okay, so everything will be okay, keep her close to her heart she would want you to be happy," I said reassuring her.

Right then my mom came over.
"come on, dear lets go," she said to me.
The girl smiled and waved. I smiled back. Then I left the hospital.
