Subject: Hating hospitals was an understatement.

Josie loathed them. The coldness. The smells. The rooms. The whiteness. The death. There was nothing she wanted to do more than run screaming from this insidious place of death. Instead, she quietly pushed open the door to enter one of those very rooms that she hated so much, sterile, white and bordering on death.

'Good, he's alone,' she thought silently, then slipped quietly through the door, letting it close behind her.

There were no flowers in this room. Only machinery. So much machinery. The soft whirring of the machines, the incessant beeping of each contraption, and the figure laid out in the neatly made bed, motionless, oblivious to all the trappings.

She pulled up a chair to the edge of the bed as she watched for movement. Nothing.

"You don't even know me, do you?" she asked quietly, not expecting an answer. "You don't even know I'm here." Her head perked up when she thought she heard someone outside the door. Realizing that whoever it was, was just passing by, she continued her one-sided conversation.

"I wish you would just die already. It would make it easier on everyone. Me. You. Everyone. You'll never know how hard this is all is. Even if you woke up right now, you'd never know. Only I know. Only I know how hard this is. And noone cares about me. Not even you."

Josie sighed deeply. Maybe she should just go. She was doing no good here. She didn't want to be there anyway. Instead, something kept her in that room. Something she could never explain.

Her voice turned hard and cold and her eyes folded into slits, "Fools! It's time someone else pays. It's time someone else finds out how hard it is to lose someone when it's least expected."

Her mood turned melancholy as quickly as it had turned to hatred.

"Mother and Daddy never even knew what hit them. And Bobby. Why Bobby? He was just…I'll never understand it. Never accept it."

Tears threatened to roll, making her angry. She had sworn she was done with tears, only concerned with staying intent on making those responsible pay for her loss. Scooting the chair out from under her, she walked over to the window, gazing into another world…

To be continued…(HANG ON, GIRLS! I have to change a couple of things in the second part. Later, I PROMISE…Stay tuned……. ;)
