wearing white boots with sparkly hearts, and a bright pink rain coat herself, she was still shaken up about where they were going, and who they were going to see there, but she tried to think about good thoughts, as she let Arashi basically guide her,
Arashi himself felt sick thinking about everything that happened, guilt over him. *Even though we made up...one of the last things me and George did was fight...* Arashi thought sadly, as they got into the hospital, stepping into the huge lobby.
"Wow Arashi" Miwako said breathy, as she looked up, seeing the railing to the second floor above her, the people walking around up there, "Its pretty big isn't it?" Arashi said also in awe, "Mmhmm, hey, do you know where Isabella is?" Miwako asked a touch of sadness in her voice, as she remembered the reason they were here. "Um no, I have to text her, let her know we're here"
Arashi mumbled getting out his cellphone, while Miwako looked around at the place, seeing gift shops to her right, and the snack machines to the left, she squeaked her sparkly boots, on the shiny baige and gray marble floor, while she waited.
"Yo Isabella, we're in the hospital, we just got out of school a little while ago, and we gave a note to the Teacher,
although she was confused while George's parent's didn't send it, so I just told her that they were with George"
Arashi said, "I'm glad you two could make it, its room 305, on the second floor, intensive care center, you'll have to come up by elevator, if you don't feel like doing a lot of walking" Isabella said, "Kay, so who else is up there with you?" Arashi asked as he started to walk, to find the elevators, Miwako walking beside him, "No one,
I imagine everyone doesn't know what happened yet, I mean you just told the school George was out right?
They probably don't know he's sick" Isabella said a bit sadly, "Mmm" Arashi said listening, "But its probably best though, I'm not sure if George wants a lot of people seeing him like this..." Isabella said, "Oh you're probably right- Oh hey, have his parents been here today?" Arashi asked whispering to Miwako, which room to go to, and she started pushing the buttons on the elevator, both waiting a bit for the doors to open.
"No, the only time they came, was at the clinic yesterday, they left after that, and have not been back..."
Isabella said quietly, but a bit angrily, which was strange for Isabella, but Arashi could understand,
she must have been stressed out, and George's parents selfishness wasn't helping. "Oh...Well um me and Miwako are getting on the elevator, see you in a few" Arashi said, "Okay see you" Isabella said before hanging up, Arashi did the same, putting his phone in his pocket, blowing out some air in fustration. "What's wrong Arashi?" Miwako asked tilting her head, "Nothing...Um, hey what stuff did you grab from George's place?" Arashi asked. The two had, apart from leaving a note for Isabella and George,
stopped by the Studio, to get George's spare apartment key, to go to his home, and get some stuff,
putting it in their backpacks, to bring to the Hospital.
"Ohhh! I brought a pillow, some of his suits, and some of his fashion books!" Miwako said smiling up at Arashi,
Arashi grinned a bit at her, before looking into his own backpack, while the elevator stopped at a few places, while going up, "I brought his Wiiu, a couple of games, and controllers, his sketch book,
andddd a pair of his shades" Arashi said, "That was so nice! He must have missed his sketch book the most!" Miwako said, just as the elevator stopped on a upper floor, and the two stepped out.
"Have you peeked in the book?" Miwako asked curiously, "No! What am I a idiot? George would kill me"
Arashi said, Miwako giggled, "He does usually show us on different paper, after his final product is done- What if that's full of his mistakes?" Miwako asked, "Be quiet! You're making me want to open it"
Arashi said staring at the book, Miwako plucked it from him, and put it in her own backpack, "So you won't be tempted!" She said happily, while Arashi grumbbled, they went to a map on the wall, showing were different parts of the floor was. "Let's see... intensive care center..." Arashi said, trying to get in his mind where they needed to do, Miwako grabbed his hand, tearing up a bit, she tried to stay happy, but hearing Arashi say where they were going to meet their friend, was making her upset,
even more, since she didn't even know what happened to him, she wiped her eyes with her other hand,
and the one holding Arashi's swung back and forth a bit. "Alright here we go, hope we don't get lost"
Arashi chuckled, starting to walk with her, going down the hall, turning a few corners and such,
before going past the patient rooms, for a while, till they finally got to the 300's.
"Ah, 301, 302, 303, 304, amd 3..0..5! Yes, here we are" Arashi said, he was about to turn the door knob,
when he heard a sniffle. "Oi, Miwako, what's wrong?" Arashi asked looking at her, "I'm sorry Arashi...I ju-just don't know wh-what I'll do when I go in the-there" Miwako sniffled, "Dry your tears, George wouldn't like that, and Isabella needs us to be strong too, come on, be strong for our friends, hmm?" Arashi said gently, Miwako nodded wiping her eyes on her sleeve, giving her one last look, Arashi opened the door revealing the hospital room,
it was pretty big, the bed had some bars above it, so that a curtain could go all the way around it if needed, the curtain was currently covering up the bed, so that people coming in couldn't see the person lying down from the door.
Beside the bed which was turned long ways, facing the TV mounted on the wall, in front of it on the farside of the wall, on the right of the bed were some chairs, most against the wall by a window, which was closed, with the curtain covering it, one of the chairs were pulled forwards,
Isabella sotting in it, the floor was a off white, but the walls and ceiling was white, far on the left, was another door, which Arashi guessed might be a bathroom.
"Arashi, Miwako, welcome" Isabella said softly geting up, walking around the bed to greet them, "Hey Isabella" Arashi said, "H-Hi" Miwako said, trying not to sound so shaky, "George is lying down right now, he got the oxygen mask off of him earlier, so he can speak, but he's still hooked up to some other supporting tubes, his doctor will come see him a little later, for some test and analysis"
Isabella informed them quietly, she was about to walk back over, but Arashi grabbed her, making her turn around, "Hmm?" She said, Arashi let go and scratch the back of his head, "Er...How is HE though,
I mean besides the doctor standpoint?" Arashi asked, he was slightly embarassed to ask, but he had to know,
the whole thing sounded traumatic, learning he had a illness harboring in him since birth, his parents hadn't visited him, or apologized for not trying to help earlier, knowing he'd be out of school, the studio, and normal life, for who knew how long, just when he thought it had all been a simple cold.
"Arashi..." Isabella said, putting a small comforting smile on her face, "George is fine" She said quietly,
Arashi nodded looking away, "What about you Isabella?" Miwako asked curiously, George was her bestfriend after all, and she'd been there for it all, without any support, even though Miwako was sad and scared she wanted to help badly. Isabella patted Miwako's head, "I'm okay, I'm just here to support George, its what we should all be doing,
especially while he's alone-family wise" Isabella said, "Right" Miwako said, "Can we go see him?"
Arashi asked, "Sure, come along" Isabella said, grabbing Miwako's hand, guiding her there, Arashi walked beside her, holding his breath as they rounded the corner, so they could see behind the curtain.
George laid there, slightly covered with a sheet, a hospital robe on him, he was slightly turned to the right side, probably cause he was talking to Isabella, who's been sitting there, there was a heart moniter connected to him, along with another slender tube in his wrist, two tubes went under the covers,
one higher up towards his chest area, but they couldn't see where it was hooked to him, one was lower, by his thigh or leg, but again it was covered by the sheet covering George. George turned his head seeing them come in, he moved a bit slolwy towards their direction. Arashi guessed he was in pain,
from how he moved, and it pained him to see, George laid there in that plain hospital gown, he wasn't wearing his shades, not even on his head, he wasn't wearing his hat either, he didn't greet them with his smarmy smile either, and it made Arashi's stomach sink, but he tried to get himself together, he couldn't break down, he promised himself he'd be strong and casual for his friends.
"You see, they came to visit" Isabella said to George, before looking at the other two, "You can pull up a chair, if you want to sit closer" She said kindly, before going over to sit at her own chair beside George, Miwako went and pushed up her chair, sitting next to Isabella, putting her sparkly backpack in her lap, while Arashi stood there, still feeling anxious, feeling as if he was looking at someone else on that bed, it didn't feel right from George to look that plain with his attaire, and with all those tubes,
he stood still, while trying to mentally force himself to go sit down.
"Arashi?" Isabella said curiously, "Are you going to sit down?" She asked, geting everyones attention on him, he swallowed nervously and walked over awkwardly geting a chair. "Don't worry Arashi,
the doctor says I'm not contagious" George said a hint of joking to his dry tone, Arashi chuckled a bit nervously, as he slowly sat down, "How are you feeling Geroge?!" Miwako asked, looking at their friend concern all over her face, "I'm fine...I guess, how's the studio?" George asked, his voice noticeably strained, "I don't think you need to worry about the studio right now, just focus on geting some rest George" Isabella said softly, "If I focused on "rest" while laying here, unable to even move properly,
I'd be bored to tears" George said, "Well don't worry, the Studio is being cared for, everythings where you left it" Arashi said, "This is going on the second week, since I last saw it"
George said laying flat on his back, "Y-You'll see it soon Ge-George" Miwako said starting to sniffle again, "I don't know about soon, Miwako" George said staring at the ceiling, Isabella glanced at Miwako noticing she was about to cry, she didn't want any crying around George at the moment, he was usualy chill about everything, but until he was much better, she wanted everything to go smoothly around him, just in case he suddenly got upset about his condition. "Miwako, can you come with me for a moment?" Isabella asked standing up, Miwako nodded geting up with her, putting her backpack on her chair, "Wa-wait where you girls going?" Arashi asked,
looking at them slightly wide eyed, Isabella out her hands on Miwako's shoulders, "I'm going to show her around, and maybe we'll get some lunch for George, we'll be back soon,
you two can have a chance to catch up while we're gone" Isabella said with a smile, before steering Miwako out, "Bye bye" Miwako said her viice still sounding a little broken, "Seeya..." Arashi said quietly, watching as the door shut, leaving him and George alone.
