I’m walking into the hospital to visit Brandon, and right before I get to his room, I hear someone crying. It sounds like sadness, not pain. I knock on the door, and a girl about a year younger than me looks up.
“May I come in?” I ask.
“Sure.” “Who are you?” She asks as I walk into her room.
“I’m Brandon Wilson’s brother, Jasper.” I answer her. I sit down at the end of the bed. “I heard you crying and I wanted to make sure everything was ok.”
“Well, I’m here in this hospital, so everything is not ok.” She laughs dryly. I laugh.
“I guess you’re not wrong.”
“So you’re the brother that Brandon talks about all of the time.”
“How do you know Brandon? And he talks about me? Good or bad?”
“I’m his best friend, Lacey. And he speaks only good about you. He’s jealous of you, even though he doesn’t want you knowing that. So don’t tell him I told you.”
“Well, he talks about you a lot. Don’t tell him I told you, but he may or may not have a crush on you." I laugh.
