I wake up Friday morning in a very uncomfortable chair in the waiting room. Mrs.Dimino left me a cup of fresh coffee on the table with a note that read, come see me when you wake up.
She must be in Carla's room, so i go there, unsure of what I'm about to see.
............
I walk in with my head down, when I hear something- someONE.
"kris..." a small, croaked voice
"Carla!"
I don't know what to think, all I can do is run over and hug her. I start to cry and mumble about how much she scared me. In all honesty, it was a bittersweet moment. I was nervous for the future, about what people will say, and if this will scar her forever. On the flip side, I'm so glad that she's here. She's lying in that bed, talking to me, or at least trying to.
"okay, okay, enough" she says trying to be funny.
"It will never be enough, Carla. I almost lost you. And i couldn't live without you."
She just rolled her eyes. Oh Carla.
But now that I know for a fact that she's here to stay, what am I going to do about Alex?
