When Veruca got into her room,she went into a small corner between her bed and the wall. She laid her face into her hands, and let out a large sob. She couldn't believe her Daddy got into a car accident. She remembered what he did when she was a child right after the factory. She had no time to think about it now. Veruca's Daddy got into a car accident and was now in a coma. She began crying harder but she heard a knock on the door the person who slowly opened it was Mike. Veruca looked up at him as he walked over towards her. He put his arm on her shoulder, "Veruca, we gotta visit your Dad." Veruca continued to look at him. She nodded her head. She got up slowly,before she went out the door, Mike ran up to her to stop her.
"Can I come with you?", asked Mike. Veruca stood still in confusion, "You know like support you."Veruca nodded yes"
"Okay,let's go.", said Mike in a soft calm voice as they both moved out from the bedroom.
At The Hospital~
Veruca and Mike arrived at the hospital and asked the person at the counter where Mr.Salt's room was. The person said he is in Room 28. They started in that direction.
They got to Room 28, a nurse had already exited the room. Veruca asked what was happening in the room. The nurse said, "He is not breathing correctly. We have to give him a breathing tube."
Mike asked,"Alright, so, can we see him? This his daughter right here next to me and she wants to see him,so can we?"
"I'm afraid she can't. The medical procedure might get too..gruesome ,or,messy. No one should ever see that kind of treatment, especially a family member like her." explained the nurse.
"What!?", shouted Veruca,Mike got behind her, "But this my Daddy! I need to see him!", shouted Veruca.
The nurse stood perfectly still, "But we can't let you...". Before she could say anything, Veruca interrupted.
"I don't care! I need to see him right now!", screamed Veruca. Tears came straight down her face.
"Veruca, please calm down,she says we can't not see him so we should go home.", said Mike behind her.
"I'm not going home until after we see my Daddy, Mike!", yelled Veruca. She spun towards him and then, back at the nurse.
"I'm afraid you shouldn't if your giving me an attitude ! I don't think you should see him ! You will upset him." The nurse gave Veruca a cold stare. That made Veruca go silent, then she realized what she was doing to this poor nurse. She knew that she was doing her job and she should be respectful for that she looked at the ground and could see a reflection of her younger self as a child. She was a child that was disrespectful,cruel and selfish. Veruca looked up at the nurse
"I guess I should leave.". ,Veruca turned away slowly and walked away with Mike.
Outside The Hospital~
While Mike and Veruca were walking towards the car.,Veruca felt a drip on her nose. The drip came from the sky. It was raining! Mike realized that it was raining.
So, he took off his coat, "Here.", he said,as he put it over him and Veruca, "Okay on the count of 3, we will run into the car, okay?", asked Mike,"Ready?..3,2,1."
They both said as they ran, as quick as they could, right into the car. When they got into the car, they were both laughing, "
"Okay Mike,that was pretty fun.", said Veruca "
"Yeah...", he said as he looked down at Veruca's hand, then put his hand on hers. "Hey,are you going to be okay?",Mike asked.
Veruca turned towards him, she was very quiet, "I'm sorry that your Dad is in a coma", asked Mike as he looked at her.
"I'll be okay.", said Veruca softly. Veruca leaned over to Mike , "Cause I have you...I'm happy that I'm let you stay at my place, because, I wouldn't have your support."
"Then, I'm glad that I'd had your back.", said Mike as he hugged back.
They let go of their hug,and they drove off back home.
