I daydream too much about this
Slowly chewing the mushy oatmeal handed to me by a nurse, I stared at the empty hospital empty bed next to me that once used to be occupied by my closest friend.
Wally used to visit every day ever since the incident. It eventually turned into a few days, once a week, once every 2 weeks, once a month. Now, all he does is text and call.
The last text I received was 2 days ago. Turning on my phone, I tapped on the message app and read the text slowly to myself.
Heya Val! Hope ya feeling ok.
But you'll never guess what!
I did it! ;)
You should see me running laps!
No message why he hasn't been able to visit. No message about what's keeping him busy. No thanks for saving his life. No apology.
He did it. Got powers, probably living his dream.
While I, am getting needles stuck in my arm, eyes blinded with torches, no privacy at all from the bugging hospital staff. Yeah, I can't go to the toilet with them staring at my ass.
The funny thing is though, we both got powers.
He got super-speed.
I got falling through hospital beds and floors. Yes, I can pass through objects whenever I want, but its best I not. Doctor told me it's bad for my health. Something about some highly dangerous chemical getting into my blood stream.
But it didn't matter really when Wally's running free as the wind, faster than the wind, while I…
I?
Wait for my death.
Wally doesn't know.
I don't want him to know.
"How is she… Mrs Linh?" the speedster breathed heavily. It's no wonder Wally was puffed out since he ran all the back to his home after school, a quick stop at Taco Bell before heading straight to the hospital.
The doctor watched her daughter through the glass as she sat in the room next to her's. Little did Valkyrie know her mother has been assessing her day and night in an attempt to find a cure for her daughter.
A trickled down her cheek.
''There's no way I can-"
"There is a way!" Wally slammed a clenched fist onto the table. "There is one…"
Wally knows.
