*DING*

The elevator pulled to a stop as the digital numbers read Floor 2.

Theo's room was 214.

"214, 214," I muttered to myself as I was looking for the room.
211,
212,
213,
214.

I opened the door slowly and carefully, as if Theo was behind the door already.

"Theo?" I whispered.

I saw him fiddling with the controls on his bed and he had a confused look on his face.

I laughed to myself as I made my way over to him.

I sat down slowly on his bed and touched his arm gently.

"Theo," I started, whispering.

"Shai," He said, tears forming in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault. I didn't see the car coming my way at all."

"Theo, it wasn't your fault," I said.

"Even I didn't see it coming." I said.

He smiled and chuckled.

"Tell my mom that," he said with a smile. "She just left and she only came to ask if you were hurt," He laughed.

I smiled to myself.

Just as I was about to ask Theo how he was doing, a

voice called out.

"Theo!" Ruth rushed in, her face as red as a tomato. "I got your drink! anything else you want?" She said, with a smile that made me sick.

"Y-You were here before I got here?" I stammered nervously.

Why was Ruth here before me?

"Yes. I was." She said, her voice turning a cold as a block of ice.

Theo looked worried, as if he knew what would happen next.

So many thoughts crowded my mind. On one hand, Theo would never do anything to hurt me. On the other, he invited Ruth over but didn't bother to call me. I was just so confused, and before I knew it, I turned on my heel and walked out.

I heard Theo calling my name but I just wanted to get the hell out of there.

I'm just confused.
