Chapter Seven

Caroline walked to the hospital. She saw Ms. Andersen waiting for her impatiently. "Come with me", said Ms. Andersen. Caroline and Ms. Andersen walked to Raphael's hospital room. "Raphael was so sick that we had to put him on life support and I'm not sure if he'll make it", said Ms. Andersen. Caroline saw unconscious Raphael and threw herself on him. She sobbed loud. Ms. Andersen hugged her. "I'm really sorry but the nurse said he will be on life support for two weeksand if he doesn't show progress, I'm afraid he'll be taken off of life support", said Ms. Andersen. Caroline and Ms. Andersen went to their house. Caroline went to her room and locked her door. She placed a pillow in her face and cried. The "weird girl" laid on the small bed. "Depressed, much?" Asked the "weird girl". Caroline screamed. "How did you get in here?" Asked Caroline. "I have my secrets, just as much as you do", said the "weird girl". Caroline sighed. "I'm honestly stressed out. My brother is on life support and is literally fighting for his life", said Caroline. The "weird girl" disappeared and Caroline laid back on her big bed until Ms. Andersen knocked on the door.

"Time for dinner", said Ms. Andersen. "I don't want to eat", muffled Caroline. Ms. Andersen sat on the bed. "I understand but you need energy", said Ms. Andersen. Caroline got up. "If my brother is dying then what's the point of me being here? Me and him gone through so much and sure we have our ups and downs but it doesn't mean I really hate him. I stick up for him when he gets bullied because he's my little bro and he's supposed to look up for me", said Caroline. "Honey, I know how you feel. My husband, Edgar died in a car crash and it took a while for me to recover but please eat your dinner and keep your head up, darling", said Ms. Andersen. Caroline teared up and smiled. Caroline petted Shelly and went to the kitchen. Ms. Andersen served her macaroni and cheese. "Thank you ma'am", said Caroline. "Where's my mac n cheese?" Cried Theodore. "Hold on, darling", said Ms. Andersen. Caroline ate the macaroni and cheese. "That was good", said Caroline. "Do you want more?" Asked Ms. Andersen. Caroline shook her head and went to her room. She drew a portrait of her brother fighting a demon and hung it on her wall.

As night follows, Caroline falls asleep but before she prays that her brother recovers and goes to sleep.
