      SHE JUST FELT A LITTLE BAD FOR LYING to her dad that she had to use the bathroom and would be right back to be there with him, but instead, she snuck away. Now at home, she sat curled up near the edge of her bed while rain drizzled against the window, drowned her sobs that she tried to swallow. No, she couldn't watch. Couldn't sit there in the hospital and pretend everything was okay. The waiting, seeing her mother on this machine, seeing her blood going in and out through tubes. It was more than scary.

HEAD TILTING TO ONE SIDE, a crooked smile became visible. The question came surprisingly late in the evening, but something else made her much more puzzled. “Where is the silly pun to convince me to go on a date with you? Do you feel guilty about something?” Of course, she was just teasing him. It was an opportunity she wouldn’t skip, ever. Neither would he.  

but it also wouldn’t surprise me. xD )

         As soon as he enters the room once she’s back into her uniform, she kisses him, albeit briefly. It doesn’t mean anything; it can’t mean anything, but she’s thankful for him. He was a light in this hellhole that was her life right now.           She pulls away, hoping he won’t take it the wrong way.          “Thanks… for everything.”

   “How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you.”  

      “Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? Well, I don't care, you're here tonight.”  

      “What have I become?”

    “You always had a way to throw the light.”
