Far Away

Kaitlyn

I bought the medicines from the store out of the hospital and headed back. I entered Daniel’s ward. He sat up as he saw me.

“Here are your medicines” I kept it near him. He nodded. He looked quiet and this was all something new because he was always ordering me around.

“Look, Kaitlyn,” he called me.

“Hm?” I asked him.

“I know I don’t deserve it but can we start over?”

“I…” I sighed. How can he even think that I can just start over like that and forget everything. I mean, it just makes no sense to me. How can he think it is so easy?

“I don’t think so” I completed.

“Oh… okay” he took the medicine and ate it. I looked at the time, it was already 8. I thought of acting on my plan so I decided to go early. “Doctors say you will be discharged within 2 days if your body shows no abnormal signs, so take care”

He nodded and smiled. I nodded too. I started going out.

“Wait”

I looked at him. “Huh?”

“Are you going back?”
