She sighed and stared out at the dancing drops of rain, falling from the opposing dark grey clouds like tears from the spirits. They'd spent a week waiting. One week.
She'd woken to find herself strapped to wires and monitors and for a moment, she'd panicked. The nurse had told her she was alright. She'd said she was alive. In her heart, she'd been happy. In her head, she was livid. She'd spent an hour alone ranting and raving at him when he'd come to see her. He'd taken it all without complaint.
Now, the silence lay thick between them, gripping around them with its oppressive claws.
He watched her thumb the newest scar. The newly stitched skin protested slightly, sending small jolts of pain to her already protesting nerves. The pain in his eyes drew her attention from her scar and forced him to look away. He didn't need to make her feel guilty. It wasn't his intention.
She sighed again. "You should have let me go."
"It wasn't an option, Bella."
She eyed him for a length of time. "Is it now?"
"Not even a possibility."
Their friends stood in the doorway, quietly watching the two. They weren't aware of anyone else around them as they talked. He laughed and she cried. For just a while, the consequences of her actions didn't matter to anyone. Not to the nurses on call, not to the doctor on the floor, not to the therapist assigned to her case and especially not to them. She wasn't held a prisoner in the mental health ward of the hospital. She wasn't deemed suicidal by family and friends. She didn't have anything wrong.
For just a little while.
