Dry your tears chapter 4

Amy's p.o.v

After a long bus ride full of curious thoughts, the bus finally stopped across the street from the hospital. I got up and made my way to the front.

"Excuse me miss."

I looked back at the old bus driver. He was holding out a few coins.

"Oh no...I had to pay my fee."

"Bus rides never costed money ma'am."

"Huh? But...they always have..."

I took the change back from the old man. He smiled and opened the doors for me to get off. I stepped down slowly.

"Hope you're friend will be okay."

The bus doors closed and the bus drove off. "How did he know..?"

I shook my head. I knew one day i'd go insane. I crossed the street at the next red light. I passed a couple kissing under the shade of a tree. I stopped and looked for a second. Hm. "Love."

I kept walking and saw two parents leaving the hospital with a giggling little boy; his hands in either one of his parent's. I smiled a bit. "A true family."

I walked inside the sliding doors and into the lobby. "Morning Amy. She got moved to room 204."

I nodded at the desk lady. "How did her surgury go?"

"Hm. Pretty good. That girl is a fighter."

"You're telling me."

I walked over and pressed the button on the elevator. As soon as it opened, I was knocked to the ground by a crying girl. A guy came out running after her. He held her close as they huddled up against the wall. I rubbed my head and crawled cautiously up to them.

"Excuse me...but may I ask what's wrong?"

The girl looked at me with a tear stained face. She looked about my age. Fifteen.

"He...He's gone!"

"W-Who?"

The girl started bawling again. The guy began to rub her back and cradle her. "We lost our baby boy to pnuemonia."

I gasped. Baby?! She was too young for that anyway. I decided to keep these thoughts to myself.

"Ma'am...it'll be okay. Maybe...maybe you could start over, or-"

"No! I can't! No one will replace my baby! No one! We already got his little christmas toys and presents! He would have been so giggly and happy, but now we get to do nothing! Now we can't see him happy! We get to see him being lowered six feet into the ground! The ground! Do you know hard that is?"

"Yeah..."

"What?"

"I lost both my parents at four years old. I would go around the funeral home asking random people why mommy and daddy wouldn't just get up and take me home to play. Why mommy and daddy were laying there..not moving or talking. Why mommy and daddy wouldn't wake up from their nap. And why mommy and daddy never said goodbye."

More tears formed, this time in both of their eyes, as I finished my little story. Even my cheeks were wet now. I stood up and offered the girl my hand.

"Thank you."

"For...?"

"You gave me faith. After my little Joseph died, the doctor said he just wasn't meant to live."

I felt a stab of pain in my heart. What parent would want to hear that.?!

"Miss, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"

"Sixteen. I know, Iknow. I'm too young to have had a baby anyway, but I still loved my son."

"It's okay. I won't judge you. You seem really nice, and I hope a blessing comes your way."

"Same to you."

I waved goodbye as the couple walked out of the hospital. I pressed the button again and stepped into the elevator. As soon as it dinged I ran down to room 204. It was 3:45. I had plenty time. I walked in the room slowly.

"Hello?"

"Amy! You made it! I missed you alot ya know!"

"Morning Cream."

I walked up to my small friend. She lied in bed with a big smile in her face; her ears perked up a bit. My smile faded subconciously.

"Amy?"

"Huh? Oh i'm okay Cream. So you doin okay?"

"Yeah. I have alot of pain though."

"Hm. I'll bring you some gummy worms after school."

"Really? Thank you!"

"No problem." I pulled up a chair and sat next to the big bed. "Ran into a young couple who lost their baby boy this morning."

"Aww. How sad."

"Yeah I know. I some how cheered her up. Then there's this old man..."

"What about him?"

"I dunno...he-"

"Ms. Cream. Time for your shot."

An old doctor walked in the room. I gasped. "Oh my gosh..."

The doctor and Cream looked at me. "Something wrong miss?"

"N-No..you just seem oddly familiar..."

"Ah. Well, I do believe we have met. Maybe in another life. Ya never know." The doctor finished drawing blood and made his way out the door. He made one last eye contact with me and left the room.

"So what were you saying about an old man Amy?"

"Nothing..."

Cream all of a sudden began to have a coughing fit. I quickly pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to her. She tried drinking, but only spit it up, along with some blood. I gasped and began to pat her back. She finally breathed normally and layed back.

"You okay?"

"I should be."

I came up and patted Cream's head. "You're definitely a fighter." I took my hand away and gasped. A few tufts of her fur had came off onto my hand. "Cream..."

"It's okay Amy, honest! I've just been...shedding a bit."

I tried to hold back tears. I can't cry, but I was afraid. How long could she last? She's the only friend I had...

"Amy. Don't think about negative things."

"Huh?"

"C'mon. I know what's going through your mind. I'll be okay, I promise. Hey, cheer up! Christmas is coming!"

I tried my best to put on a smile for Cream. My eyes drooped a little. Cream giggled a bit.

"Go on asleep in that chair. I'll wake you when you need to head off to school."

I just nodded and curled up in the chair. For once, sweet dreams came my way.

I'm sorry for mistakes. I'll go back and fix them later. Wow, even I almost cried with this chapter...so...so ..sad, but still good! Tell me how you're liking this in your review! Off to school I go! XD
