Chapter 38

🦋Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.🦋

"Y/n, are you okay?!"

"Y/n? Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah... I think I need to go home."

"Yeah... yeah, I'm okay,"

"Are you sure? You almost got hit by a van,"

"I'll take you home. If you don't feel comfortable being by yourself then I'll-"

"No, it's okay. I came in my car."

It wasn't too long since Ray dropped off Jemima at Krone's and he came straight to the hospital to visit before it was too late and visiting hours would be over.

"I brought the camera that you wanted..." Ray said coming inside of his mother's room before closing the thick wooden door behind him. "Why do you want a camera anyways?"

The man walked over towards the familiar table inside of the room and placed down a tan bag that had red flowers engraved on it that was filled with items.

"I wanted to take pictures with you," she smiled looking up at her only child. "Don't you want to take some with me? It could be fun," she hummed adjusting herself in a better position in the hospital bed.

"Sure, why not," he pulled an old black Polaroid camera out of the bag and inspected it a little before adjusting everything before he was going to take the photos. "I brought the old one along with the new version of the Polaroid camera," he mumbled taking a seat.

"Why is that?" The older woman asked softly while looking at her son.

"Because I wasn't sure if this old piece of junk still works," he mumbled while toying with the old camera.

Multiple visions of you kept flashing in Ray's mind, repeatedly from earlier today. Everything was happening so fast and it was starting to get so hard to keep up with it all in his life. It was becoming stressful. The both of you barely was far into your relationship, but with everything going on, he figured that you needed your distance and he was gonna take his.

He needed to be alone anyways... He didn't need you getting involved in his business.

"Ray, come on and try it out. I'm sure it still works, it wasn't too long ago since I used it," she said trying to sit up slowly but was brought down with his hand placed gently on her shoulder.

"Don't move too much... I don't want you hurting yourself, Mom," he sat up and brought the chair closer towards her bed, and looked down at his female doppelgänger who had furrowed eyebrows.

"I'm not a week as you think I am, Ray," she laughed quietly with her honey-like smooth voice. "I'm okay. Everything's okay."

"I know," he smiled softly.

He walked over around her bed and placed the camera on a table before setting the timer and walked back over towards her. She gave a closed-lip heart-warming smile, while Ray gave a gentle one while her hand was placed onto his that was resting on the bed's railing.
