Blessed
Aelita awoke the next morning around six, her friends had stayed in the room and slept by her. Their presence was comforting until she recalled getting off the bed for something. Then it came to her like a revelation, "No no no he can't be dead. He can't be!" she said struggling out of the bed.
The pink haired patient got off her bed carefully and got out of the room in her hospital gown. Closing the door she saw the hallway was slow, the sun hadn't even come up yet. She made her way to a nurse she found coming out of an elevator.
"Exuse me miss? I'm looking for a boarding school student named Nathan, he was involed in a shooting." Aelita asked the woman.
"Ummm….give me a minute." The nurse spoke over a walkie talkie and got a response, "Room 242 down the hall."
"Thankyou." Aelita told her and made her way to the destination.
Odd had woken up strangely enough and noticed his best friend missing. He got up and woke Jeremie by shaking him awake and almost knocking off his glasses.
"Hey Einstein, Aelita's missing!" Odd loudly whispered to him.
They both raced out the door and looked around, they split up and went down both ways of the hall. Jeremie was first to see Aelita disappear behind a corner and he signaled Odd. They went to find her and soon saw her go into a room, room 242. They both where perplexed at why she got up and left like she did, but they followed her.
Aelita entered the room and found Guerrmo and Terra sitting down on some chairs reading something. When they saw her they where filled with over glee.
"Hey how's my room mate doing! You had me all worried, Kila is at the school waiting for you. The principle didn't tell us everything so we were lost to your location." She practically cried hugging the bandaged girl to a crushing depth.
"I'm…okay…Terra your…crushing me!" Aelita said choking.
"Oh I'm just so glad your okay." Terra wiped her eyes.
"I for one feel the same as well." Guerrmo said opening his arms for a welcome hug too, Aelita gave him a hello type of hug.
"Where's Nathan?" Aelita asked.
"Well, he got a gunshot to the top part of his head. The doctors where amazed that at the curve of his head and the angle of the bullet, he merely got a concussion but no penetration." Terra informed her friend.
"How that happened I don't know." Guerrmo swayed his head.
"He got that because of me. When Kathleen had us cornered, he shoved me behind him and he got shot." She looked to her left where a sleeping boy lay. Bandage on his center forehead had a bloody spot.
"He had a vein shattered by the shell but the doc's managed to stop the bleeding with a substitute bridge. He nearly bled to death before the paramedics got to him. He must really love you to almost die like that. I guess he was truly blessed this day." Guerrmo said looking to his friend.
"That I guess as well, tell him I came. For me okay?" Aelita asked as she went up to the boy.
She rubbed his face and then kissed him before she left. Sullem all the way till she opened the cracked door to reveal Jeremie and Odd falling back from surprise.
