Zoe's eyes flickered open and she gazed at the pristine white walls of the hospital. Dan walked in and ran up to her, hugging her tightly. He pulled back and kissed her on the head. "We were so worried!" he exclaimed "Aneisha and Tom went to get some food. They should be here soon."
Zoe smiled at him then leaned back against her pillows. Sadness clouded her eyes as she remembered her sister. "What happened to her?" she asked, dreading the answer. Dan sighed and took her hand. "They are still running tests on the blood they took before she died. they'll make sure it doesn't happen again."
After her collapse, Zoe was released from the hospital almost immediately; the doctors blaming it on shock triggered by the sudden and unexpected death of her sister
At school, Zoe was met with a sea of apologetic faces, but all of them were unsure what to say to her, even Dan. He called
Aneisha over. "Can you talk to her? I think it's a girl thing." he explained.
Aneisha promised to do so, and sure enough, the two were chatting the entire duration of lunch. Zoe felt glad to have someone to talk to about it, and Aneisha was glad to help her friend. Dan was great, thought Zoe, but this wasn't really his thing.
Soon after their 'girl talk', Zoe walked back to her desk, feeling a lot better than before. She was met by Melissa, who looked, for the first time in a while, apologetic. "Sorry." Melissa said quietly. "For your sister a-and for the Easter Ball. I shouldn't have interrupted." Melissa admitted. Zoe nodded and the two stood in silence for a while, then Melissa rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small knitted cardigan, before placing it in Zoe's hand.
"I made this for her. I'm really sorry." Melissa said. Zoe looked at her with tear-filled eyes. "Thank-you." she whispered. melissa nodded and walked off, leaving Zoe gazing at the cardigan sadly. dan came and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Was she being a nuisance?" he asked, referring to Melissa. Zoe shook her head. "No, I think she was trying to help."
"And did she?
Zoe nodded, and clutched the cardigan tightly in her hands. Dan saw it and gently took it out of her hands. "Did she make this?" he asked. Zoe nodded again and looked at him.
"Maybe she isn't that bad after all." she reasoned. Dan looked over to where Melissa sat.
"Maybe." he replied, he gave her the cardigan back to her and was about to say something when he felt his communicator buzzing. Dan smiled at her and took her hand before pulling her out of the room. This could wait. Saving the world came first.
