The door to the room was open and I tried to call out as I saoman in a blue scrub suit pass by My voice ca I tried lifting ain, the s were aching I was beco my head back down on the pillow, I closed my eyes and tried to re at Nadine’s…and then I’d gone to Aaron’s party He’d been so cold…I left and I re…Damn it!

I heard a noise and opened my eyes It was the nurse “Well hello, you’re awake!”
