Ruthie hadn't been home at the time of the call, she had been at the promenade with Peter. Peter's mom had called him and told him that Lucy was going to pick her up from the promenade, but wouldn't give any reason why. Lucy had driven up moments later and Ruthie just had the feeling that something was terribly wrong.

"Get in." Lucy had told her sharply, she got in right away. They had spent the entire ride home in silence, with did nothing to help her unease. She ran out of the car and into the house looking for someone who would tell here what was wrong. The moment she entered the living room she knew it was bad. Her mom was crying and her father was comforting her while looked quite sad as well.

"What's going on?" she asked. Her parents looked up at her her mom was still crying.

"Simon's in the hospital." no...no that couldn't be true.

But it had been true, she had seen him for herself, had spent too much time in the stupid waiting room with its' uncomfortable chairs and strong smell of antiseptic. Waiting, just waiting for news that Simon would be alright.

Things were looking well if there, weren't any complications Simon would be fine. Then he had woken up, she had to wait her turn to see him as only person at a time was allowed in. It wait had seemed so long, but it was finally her turn. She walked into the hospital room she had seen entirely too many times before, but this time was different because she would be able to talk to Simon even if it was just for a minute or two. He still looked too pale, but at least this time he was looking at her, she grinned.

"Simon." she said.

"Hey Ruthie." he smiled weakly back at her, she gave him a tight hug until she heard his sharp intake of breath which meant she holding onto him too tightly so she loosened her grip.

"You scared me." she said after they parted.

"Yeah I know I'm sorry." Simon said apologetically.

"Never do that again." she said.

"Never." he said with a small smile. She took his hand and they smiled at each other. Simon was going to get better and everything was going to be alright.
