The drive to the hospital seemed like an eternity. Never had she imagined
something like this happening to her. It couldn't. Her life was just
getting sorted out. How would she tell everyone? Sookie, Jackson, Luke,
Emily, Richard, Lane. Then there was Mark. He hadn't even gotten to meet
her mother. How can you tell someone that someone they don't even know is
dead and expect them to comfort you? She knew she had to tell everyone,
but she didn't want to. She didn't know how. "My mother slit he-" No.
She couldn't even bring herself to think it.
Then she had to get her schoolwork done. She still had to finish studying. She didn't want the school to give her a special break. She didn't need it. She just had to balance everything.
The ambulance came to a stop outside the hospital. The paramedics opened the back door, and Rory stepped out. She hated hospitals. They always brought back bad memories. People died everywhere. Tears were shed. Blood and tears. It was never-ending.
She stepped into the waiting room. Tears everywhere. She hated tears. She hadn't cried since she found her mother on the floor. She didn't want to cry. There was no reason to cry over something that was obviously not real. If she cried, this would be real. Crying meant that she couldn't turn back. She would never cry again. Never.
