"I heard you passed out," The familiar raspy voice said the instant Lara walked out the door.
Closing the doors, she strolled towards the bed with her head held high and in her red floor-length free gown. As the old lady with a head full of grey hair approached me, I could see the disgust evident in her grey eyes.
She didn't try to hide it, and I knew from the moment she entered this room that I was going to receive a handful of words from her—words that I didn't need to hear.
I wasn't in the right state of mind to listen to the words she was about to say, so I stood up from the bed, brushing past her and making my way for the bathroom at the other end of the room with my heart thumping with every step that I took. The event would be starting soon, and I might as well get ready.
