Pain. Pain is the word I'd use to describe my life. Not just regular pain, but overbearing pain. Horrible, horrible frustration and agony was all that I was made of. I was in my bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. I was weak. I couldn't even take care of my ratty hair, or my bloodshot eyes.

To let out my anger and pain, I screamed as loud as I could. It wasn't a scream of fear or anger. It was a scream of pure agony. Some would say I was being over dramatic, but I didn't know how else to handle the pain. I loved Isaac. I still love him. Something inside me yearned for him all the time, but he was gone, and I was broken.

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I pulled myself together long enough to greet the visitor. The boy at my door was rather tall, and attractive as he gave me a shy smile.

"Hi, is everything okay here?" He asked me gently. I peeled my eyes away from him, not realizing I was staring. "Yeah, I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I'm just having a really bad week." I told him truthfully. His chocolate brown eyes captivated me. He smiled brightly. "Yeah, me too." He chuckled. I cocked my head.

"Why?" I asked him curiously. He just smiled again and looked down at the ground. "May I come in?" He asked me. I nodded eagerly and led him in my apartment. He looked around, noticing clothes littering the ground, and a gaping hole punched in the wall. I blushed. "I'm sorry, it doesn't normally look like this." I mumbled. He grinned. "I understand. My apartment looks way worse than this anyway." He joked.

I laughed half-heartedly. "So, I never got your name." I said, watching him sit on my bed. He smiled. "I'm Colby."

"Lucy." I said, walking over to him and offering my hand. He shook it. "So, you said you were having a bad week?" He asked. I nodded carefully. He smiled and patted the space next to him. I gave him a shy, uncertain smile.

"My, uh, boyfriend broke up with me." I mumbled. "I know that may not seem like much, but we were really close, and I still love him."

He nodded. "I get it." He said, surprising me. I looked into his eyes, causing him to take my hand. "Break ups suck." He chuckled. I smiled back at him. For some reason, he took that as an okay to try to kiss me, and he started leaning in. Without thinking, I slapped him across the cheek soundly. "What the hell?" He yelled. I stood up and straightened myself out. "I-I'm sorry I think you should leave." I whispered.

He looked at me for a moment before walking out the door. I didn't understand why I couldn't move on. I felt like I would be betraying Isaac by doing so.

I furiously smacked myself in the head. Those thoughts were good for no one. I needed to move on with life. Isaac would never come back, and I needed to understand that.

I got in my work outfit in preparation for my job at the hospital. I couldn't believe I had to do something as minute as work right now. Although I knew I needed this job in order to keep my apartment. I got ready and trudged off to work in a daze.

"Great to see you, Lucy! Right on time!" A bubbly receptionist said to me. I nodded, clocking in before grabbing the clipboard with my name on it. I looked over all the patient's names. One name stood out to me. Isaac Daniels.

No, Lucy. Stop it! I scolded myself. I took a deep breath before entering his room.

"Hi Isaac." I said, cringing slightly at I said his name. "How are you doing?"

Laying in the bed, was an extremely small little boy. His papers said that he was eight years old, but he looked younger.

"I feel funny." He said in a raspy voice. Looking around, I noticed the boy had no family in his room. He had no one there for him.

"What do you mean by funny?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. He frowned. "My body feels weird."

"Has it ever felt like that before?" I questioned him. He shook his head no. "I'll send a doctor in for you, okay?" I told him. He nodded. I was about to turn and leave, when he suddenly grabbed my arm. His grip was weak, but I didn't fight it.

"It's already been consummated." He whispered in a raspy voice. "What?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes in confusion. "Un lien qui ne peut jamais etre rompu." He said again before his eyes rolled back in his head. I was about to ask him what he meant, or what language that was, when he suddenly started convulsing. His heart rate sped up to an almost inhuman speed as his body jerked automatically in different places.

I quickly pressed the call doctor button, and doctors began rushing in to help him. They pushed me out and told me to continue with my patients.

I found out at lunch time that the boy had died.

"Hey, Melissa." I said with a smile as I approached her table in the cafe. She smiled at me. "Hey, Lucy, how was your day so far?"

I pursed my lips. "Uh, fine, but I wanted to ask you a question."

"Shoot." She said with a smirk. I took a deep breath. "Have any of your patients that, uh, weren't doing so well, uh, say anything odd? Like, really weird?" I asked her nervously. She eyed me for a moment before nodding her head.

"It was about 17 years ago. I had just started out as a nurse here." She began. "There was an old man in one room. Room 211, I think. I was giving him his medication when he quickly grabbed my wrist and held on tight."

I raised my eyebrows in interest as Melissa continued. "He pointed to my stomach and said, 'He will be strong.' It surprised me, and that night, I found out that I was one month pregnant with Scott."

I let out a breath and frowned. "Wow. How-how did he know? Did you ask him?" I asked her. She shook her head sadly. "I went back the next day, and he was dead." I nodded. "So, maybe people who are dying get, like, a flash of something about you? Like the future?" I suggested. Melissa shrugged. "That's what I thought for a while. I really have no idea."

I nodded. "Well, uh, I've got to go." I said quickly before getting up and leaving the cafe. I clocked out before going out to my car. As I unlocked it, I felt as if I was being watched. I looked all around the parking lot, but saw no one. Frowning, I got in my car and drove back to my apartment quickly.
