Rain
She stood outside, hiding her tears in the rain. Even then, she knew people could tell she had been crying. He was her friend, after all.
And her partner.
No matter how mad he made her, she never wished him dead. Now, he was lying in that hospital bed, because some woman was crazy.
She felt like screaming.
She wanted to be in there with him. So he wouldn't have to be alone. But she stood outside instead, crying.
It had broken her heart to hear him cough. And all he did was joke about catching her cold.
So, she cried.
