CHAPTER 12
UNIVERSAL MAIL???
(Favorite nurse's pov)
I looked at my wrist watch for about the twentieth time today but time still wasn't moving! I usually wanted my shift to never end but today…
Well I didn't want it to end end, I just wanted it to be near the end, urggh! In short I just wanted to see Laura.
Why? Your guess is as good as mine but it had something to do with the day before. Perhaps it was because after very many years I finally felt like we had moved forward.
I looked at my watch again, time wasn't nearly as fast as it usually did.
"Sheesh! Girl what's bothering you," one of my coworkers spoke up.
"She's waiting for her daily dose of vitamin L."
"Vitamin L?"
"Yup, Laura!" She said bursting into laughter.
"Oh yeah, remember that day Laura came after her shift and she tried to drive back here in the rain just so she could see her."
"Yeah and she didn't even talk to her!" The laughter continued.
"Seriously Mary you should just tell her how you feel," One of them said finally turning to me.
"F-feel, feel! Who says I feel anything! Ok breaks over back to work ladies and gentleman!" Phew they almost got me there.
I walked around and somehow found myself in front of Lily's room. She was humming slowly indicating that she was probably drawing.
I went in and found her pencil in hand with the most blissful expression I had ever seen on her face. If loving what you do was a person it would definitely be her.
"Hi auntie Mary," she said with a massive smile on her face. I was just supposed to check in and leave but she was just so damn cute!
"Hi, how's my favorite patient," I said jumping beside her.
"Fine."
"You've already eaten?"
"Mmmh!" She nodded her attention returning to her drawing.
"How was it?" The little girl made a little vomiting motion making me laugh. One of the side effects of her medicine was that her taste buds were basically ruined but she still ate diligently.
I had asked her once why she ate so diligently and she melted my heart saying her mother was already going through enough and she was just doing her best not to add anymore problems. She was perfect.
My attention turned to her drawing.
It was her and her mum and a massive star above them, there was someone else. I looked closer, didn't that look like me?
"What have you drawn?" I asked my heart beating excessively for some reason.
"The star is mommy watching us from heaven and then there's my mum and me and you!" She said happily.
"Why, I'm I there?"
"Coz you take care of me and watch over me everytime just like mommy does."
I felt my heartbeat go even faster. One if the reasons I was always holding back was I didn't want to seem like I was replacing anyone but now…
Was it a message from the universe or a message from a child.
