Scene wakes up early on Monday, hating the fact that she can't see Intern 2 because of work. She gets ready quickly, pulling her hair into a pony, and dressing in her normal sweater and skirt. When she looks at herself in the mirror, for the first time in years, it doesn't look...her. She decides that she'll wear some of her old clothes. She changes into a Panic! At the Disco tee and black jeans; her old clothes are slightly large on her as she's lost some weight, and as she looks at herself in the mirror, she notices she's skinny. She's not surprised, after all the nights she just didn't feel like eating for no particular reason. She grabs her bag, and heads to work.
"Hey Norma, you look different." One of her coworkers, Alfred, comments on her clothes. "Any occasions?"
"None in particular." Scene replies.
"Well you still look adorable." He says. Scene smiles. She's never appreciated it much but Alfred is a real sweetheart.
As she goes through the day, she starts noticing little things. Like how the baby birds living in the tree outside took their first flight today. Or the pink ribbon necklace strung around a man's neck walking past the shop with his two bouncy kids. Or the fact that an intern from a company down the street- one that uses this print shop often -gets sent a lot and he always brings a couple peppermints because he knows several of the employees enjoy them a lot. Things that make your day a little brighter just knowing there's some good, some true love, or some thought in this otherwise cruel world.
She's jittery and her hands are shaking when she leaves work to go see Intern 2; she's unsure why, until she remembers her clothes. Intern 2 wouldn't disapprove, but she's looking forward to see his reaction.
It's 3:16 when Scene gets to the hospital and she remembers that because March 16th is Intern 2's birthday.
She knocks gently on his door before opening it to see him eating. She can't help but grin at the sight of him.
"Hey Scene, I slept through breakfast so they-" Intern 2 cuts off, and Scene frowns. What is it? Then he smiles and says; "Nice outfit."
"It just felt more like me." Scene says. That makes Intern 2 grin wider. He's really happy. He knocks back a cup of Jell-O as Scene pulls the chair next to his bed and sets her bag down. She's fine just sitting with him but he takes one of her hands in his and eats with one hand instead of two. When he's finished eating he sets the tray on the nightstand.
"So how was your-" He cuts off coughing, and it's a painful cough, Scene guesses from smoking. "I'm sorry. Anyway, how was your day?"
"It was good." Scene says. "Yours?"
"A lot of doctors asking me questions." He says. "But other than that, good. I mean, before you came in, I had french fries. They were a little soggy, but pretty good for hospital food."
"I'm happy you liked them." Scene says.
"Yeah." Intern 2 sighs. "I just really hope I'm not putting too much work on my manager."
"Oh, don't worry, you just need to get better!" Scene says, patting his face. Intern 2 sighs, and smiles. He looks directly in her eyes.
"You know, I came close to dying, Scene." He says. Scene tenses slightly, knowing this is serious conversation. "It got me thinking about goals I made and promises I never kept. So when I get out of here, I want to go back to church, and I would be honored if you would come with me." Scene smiles, and thinks about the small "prayer" she said when Intern 2 was in the accident, and she didn't know if he'd be alright. Well, he is, so she considers the idea. She nods.
"I would love to come to church with you."
I feel, as sometimes on the internet religion/church can be a touchy subject, I should explain my reasons for writing this plot point. I just think that Intern 2 would want to go back to his roots a little, what with his near dying, and his parents and aunt passed, and in my head canon, his roots are in the Christian church. :)
