IHM-XIII

NIKOLAI SMITH

A week passed in a flash and there was still no improvement in Elisa's health and my dad was not kidding when he said he was going to pull her off life support because in the next three hours they will be doing just that and I still have hope that Elisa would wake up.

I stepped out of her hospital room to check on my cousin's chemo. As I got close I saw Demetria speaking to two ladies who I believe are her friends. Her friends noticed me walking toward them and an expression of shock was written on their faces. 

"Demetria" I called and she turned to me and a look of both anger and shock appeared. Shock because I actually called her Demetria this time instead of Diane and also because I am speaking to her and anger because I am her asshole brother.

"Hey Nikolai" She said with a clear fake smile plastered on her face.

"Can I talk to you?" I asked earning a nod in response.
