Hook walked into the er like he had a million times before, but something was different. His days would never be the same again, his best friend and lover was dead and he couldnt help but mourn for her in every possible way. He wiped his latest batch of tears away and proceeded to the recpetion area, passing a happy elmer on the way. But when elmer saw him, his expression changed from happy and cheery to pity and sympathy.
"Save it elmer." hook ordered and elmer looked down.
"I wish she wasnt dead." Elmer finally spoke.
"So do i, so do i." Hook almost whispered and walked away, leaving elmer alone until he spotted lona coming towards him.
"Hey." she spoke softly, raising her hand to rub his arm in comfort.
"She was a good friend to me." Elmer sighed and lona nodded.
"Yeah me too." She closed her eyes to stop her crystal green eyes from tearing up. She let out a hearty sigh before opening her eyes and reading the chart in her arms.
"I'll see ya later." elmer grumbled before walking off to find a quiet place to be alone. When he entered the exam room he flopped into the examination chair. Chris had been a very good friend to him, she had helped him through his brothers suicide only last yr, and his mother's death, Chris and Hook were two of his little group of friends that included Dr Gupter and Lona, he guessed. He sighed again before breathing in deeply, exhaling lightly.
The door opened and Lona walked in, a look of sympathy plastered on her face. Neither said anything for what seemed a lifetime until lona sighed and sat down on the bed.h
"Elmer.." she quietly trailed off.
"Do you know how many people that are special to me, i have lost?" he asked in a cold tone and she sighed. "Todays the day my mom died."
"I'm just trying to help elmer." she surrendered.
'I
know.' he thought, trying to say the words but they wouldnt come out.
"Well you're not!"
Lona didnt say or do anything in
reaction instead she sat rigidly on the bed, stung by his words.
"I got work to do." she finally spoke and got up from the bed with a heavy sigh.
"Lona?"
he croaked, tears surfacing.
