'Hi Isaac' Hazel whispered, she sounded weak.
'Hey,' he replied, using his cane to direct himself to the bed. 'How are you?'
'Honest answer?' she asked,
'Honest answer.'
'I've been better.' She coughed slightly, and he could hear her struggling to take in breath.
They talked for a while. Nothing too deep, mainly small talk. Isaac was laughing at a story Hazel was recounting when she stopped suddenly, and said,
'Hey Sarah, come in. There's someone I want you to meet.'
I heard footsteps in the doorway and then scraping, as a chair was pulled across to Hazel's bedside.
'Isaac,' Hazel began, 'this is Sarah. She's been keeping me company for the last few days.'
'Hi.' Isaac responded,
'Hi.' She replied.
'I'm blind.' He blurted out,
'I'm short.' she responded, catching him off guard, 'If you really want to state unimportant physical traits, two can play at this game.' He smiled. He was starting to like this girl.
'So,' he continued, 'what type?'
'No type. I'm not a cancer kid, just a girl who happens to know Hazel from college.'
'Oh.' He responded, until this point he'd been convinced that Hazel didn't have any other friends. At least that's what she'd always told him.
The trio talked for a few hours until Hazel announced she was tired and Isaac decided it was time to leave.
He walked down to the parking lot with Sarah and they exchanged pleasantries.
'You need a ride?' she asked,
'Um, no. I just need to call my Mom.'
'Don't be stupid. I'll give you a lift. Your Mom doesn't need to drive the whole way out here.'
'Okay,' Isaac replied, reluctantly, 'as long as you're sure.'
He felt her hand resting on his arm as she guided him to the car.
Recently, I found a pile of unfinished fics on my computer and decided to upload them as is. I hope to continue all of them, but I want to know which is most popular... please review if you want me to continue this one!
