I woke up in the morning to the sun coming in the window. I looked over and saw Hush was still asleep. I knew she'd be hungry when she got up because we hadn't eaten last night so I decided to go find the kitchen and see if we could get some food. I walked out of the room quietly shutting the door behind me. I washed up a little in the bathroom at the end of the hall and then walked to the receptionist's desk. The lady who sat there was different then the one from last night. She looked about 27, ten years older than me, and she was filling out paperwork. I walked up to the desk and quietly stood there, not knowing if I should interrupt her.
"Hello," she said quietly looking up from her work.
"Hi, I was wondering if my friend and I could possibly get something to eat while we are staying here." I asked.
"Sure, there is a kitchen just down that hall," she said pointing to the hall opposite of the way I came. "There is a short hall to the left three rooms down. At the end of it is the kitchen and dining room area."
"Thank you." I walked to the kitchen. It was rather small and very informal. It almost reminded me of the lodging house, except it was set up buffet style. I grabbed a tray and walked over to the table of food. There wasn't much out because it was so early. I grabbed a couple bowls and filled them with cereal, took a couple of spoons and walked over to the fridge. I snatched a bottle of milk and walked back to Mush's room. I set the tray on the window sill and poured milk into one of the bowls. I ate as quietly as I could so I wouldn't wake Ziva. I watched the streets fill with people. Every now and then I saw some of the newsies pass in front of the window. It was a rule, when someone was in the hospital we came up with a list and then everyone got a chance to sell in front of the hospital for a half hour. I turned and looked back at Mush and Ziva. They looked so peaceful together. Hush opened her eyes and smiled at me.
"I got breakfast," I said. She looked at Mush and then slowly got out of bed. I went and brought her chair over to the window. We sat there in silence for while she ate. When she was finished I piled our dishes on the tray but didn't move to take them back, just pushed them to the side. Hush laughed quietly.
"I'll take them back in a bit," I said, lazily. She shook her head.
"What's so funny then?" I asked. She reached out to touch my face but pulled her hand back.
"It's alright, what?" I asked again. She slowly put her hand on my cheek and brushed her fingers down it softly. She burst out giggling again. I still didn't see what was so funny. She shook her head trying not to laugh and grabbed my hand bringing it up to my face. I rubbed my cheek and figured out what she was laughing at. I hadn't shaved this morning and I had a little stubble on my cheeks.
"You think that's funny?" I asked. She rubbed her hand across my face again and nodded giggling.
"Well, get used to it, because until I can leave I'm probably gonna be without a razor," I said. She just giggled and climbed into my lap. She laid her head on my shoulder and we both stared at Mush. She sighed.
"He'll be alright. He's strong. Ya know, I heard from someone that when people are unconscious they can still hear what's going on around them, subconsciously," I said. She looked at me with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Maybe, you could sing to him," I suggested. She smiled at me weakly and pulled her chair back to his side. She held his hand and sat there for a while, searching her mind for a song I assumed. She looked back at me not sure. "Go ahead, sing anything it doesn't have to be related at all. Just sing your favorite song." She thought a little longer. She started singing quietly.

Lonesome stranger
With a crowd around you
I see who you are
You joke, they laugh
Til the show is over
Then you fall so hard
If you're needing
A soul-to-soul connection
I'll run to your side
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
Open close me
Leave your secrets with me
I can ease your pain
And my arms will be
Just like walls around you
Come in from the rain
If you're running
In the wrong direction
I will lead you back
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
Broken
Shattered like a mirror
In a million pieces
Sooner or later
You've got to find
Something someone
To find you and save you
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
When you're looking for something that resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
She laid her head on her head on his chest and cried. I knew that there really was a meaning behind the song, Mush was exactly all that, to her.
