Patience
She sits in one of the many dark blue plastic chairs, waiting uncomfortably for some news on what is happening. The light bulbs enveloped every inch of the room in a sickly bright white. The stench of cleaning liquids and sterilizers fill her nose and she has the urge to sneeze but stops herself. She eyes the nurse at the help desk, hoping to catch her eye and indicate that she’s been waiting patiently for so long, she is now at wits end. The worst thoughts start to set camp in her brain and there is nothing else she can think of. And why should she have to divert her mind, she’s here to help someone dear to her. There is a constant buzzing of voices, from the speakers in the walls, from the nurses, patients, doctors, visitors. No one seems to be silent except for her. She gets up and starts pacing up and down, she has to find a way to get in a meet him. She’s the only person who was there who actually cares, the only one who saw what happened state he was in and panicked. The rest just stared, as if he was performing a special trick for a circus side show. People can be so unbelievable at times; no one went to help him. She saw them take him to the ambulance and she was in a state of shock, it took her time to realize she should go after him. The taxi ride seemed to take an eternity and she couldn’t stop the silent tears pouring down her face. She finally reached the hospital and rushed to find him, they told her to wait and that they would inform her, and which each second she grew more restless. Eventually they called her over and she walked through the unfamiliar walls and as soon as she turned the last corner she saw his beaming face. Then all her worries vanished and she smiled back at him, everything was alright.
