Ver maisIt’s finally the day that I get to go home, not that I am particularly looking forward to it. My parents didn’t arrive until after dinner, and I can’t help but think that maybe they weren’t looking forward to me coming home either. Bobby’s funeral is tomorrow. A knot forms in my stomach every time that I think about it. A large part of me doesn’t want to go; I cannot stand the thought of everyone that loved Bobby looking at me with disgust. Maybe that’s what I deserve though, it was my fault after all. I pack the small number of items that were brought in for me in a bag. I look around the room and sigh. This room feels like it has become my home over these last few days. I went through a rollercoaster of emotions here, I made a friend in Maria, but most of all, I felt safe. Safe from the
When I wake up, it’s bright again, which means that I slept straight through the night. I did dream of Bobby, but it wasn’t the type of dream that I was hoping for. Even while sleeping, the crash haunts me. Images of a wrecked car and Bobby’s small body haunt my mind. After sleeping for so long, I still feel exhausted. I can’t see a way past this, a time when life will feel bearable again, let alone enjoyable. I sit up in bed and wince when I realise that my whole body is still in pain. An attendant comes into the room pushing a trolley. My stomach constricts painfully, reminding me of just how hungry I am. “Good morning, Doll. I brought you some breakfast.” Chimes the woman, her bright smile reaching her eyes.
I wake up to the sound of beeping. The noise is terribly loud and annoying to my ears, making my already sore head ache even more. My eyes feel heavy and I struggle to lift my lids. I blink rapidly from the blinding lights that are directly above me. My whole body aches and I groan in protest. I’m confused as to why I am in a hospital, but then it all comes rushing back to me. The flash of brown fur, the car spinning, the streetlights zooming past my window, and worst of all, Bobby’s terrified screams. Bobby! Ignoring the pain that is pulsing through my body, I sit up and look around frantically. I was hoping Bobby would be here with me, but I am in a room alone. I begin to panic and the beeping of the machine next to my bed becomes more frantic. The door swings open and my hopes are destroyed when I see that it’s not Bobby coming to see me, not even my parents. It’s a nurse who seems too c
I scrub the last dish of the evening with a determination I have never had before. Every Thursday, I volunteer at the homeless shelter, my hours being longer during the school holidays. It’s something I have done for two years now, and something I love very much. I help set up the shelter, serve the food, talk with the people who come in, and help clean up at the end of the day. Today, working at the shelter has been a welcome distraction. No matter what I do, I can’t get Jacob and Bianca out of my head. Even if I could, their nonstop texting and calling wouldn’t allow it. “That’ll do for tonight, Nina.” Says Frank, the head coordinator of the centre.
