Doubting

Sondra stood still, watching as everyone embraced Nicole. Why did she have it all? She had loving parents and Bruno's love, and Sondra didn't consider it fair.

She left the hospital with her head down, her tears blending with the rain that had started to fall again. The sound assured her that an electrical storm was about to begin. She was certain that the sky empathized with her situation, as it seemed to cry and feel the same fury she did.

She walked for some time, fortunately the hospital was in the same area as her parents' house, so after an hour she stood in front of the enormous entrance gate to the property. She pressed the intercom button to be allowed in. Minutes later, two staff members opened the small side door and left her suitcases outside. Without saying a word, they turned around and walked away. She stood there for a while, observing her luggage.
