"Y/N Eleni Y/LN" I answered taking a deep breath
"Where were you born?" She goes to grab my hands
"Dominican Republic August 20th, 1996" I say back, putting my hands in hers
"You're doing great sweetie" I hear Dove say while he laughs a little and I chuckle
"Can you push down on my hands for me please" I push down
"Ok good" she says giving me a smile
She moves to the end of the bed taking the cover off of my feet a little bit and putting her hands on top of them
"Push your toes away from my hands please" I do that , the force making her stumbling a little bit
"Ok damn don't take me down now" she says laughing
I laugh back
"Ok its looking like for the most part your good" she gives me a comforting smile
"And for the other part?" I ask
"Well I'm sure your brother told you that you went into cardiac arrest, which isn't common for a healthy 16 year old but that doesn't mean that it isn't impossible, we found a murmur in your heart, which caused it. But we took you to surgery and did a valve replacement to fix it. You're going to have to take medication to maintain the healing process for about 3 months. Other than that you're good and you can sign the forms and be released. Just call if you have anymore questions" she said giving me a small smile making sure I understood everything that was being said to me
I nodded my head giving her a small tight lipped smile. Still tryna process everything. Trying to process all the times my chest has hurt me, it's been months, what the fuck. But every time it happened was when I was with Mani... was it the fact that I loved her? It can't be that, can it?
"You good sis?" I heard Dove say
"Yea I'm chilling, as long as I can leave and healed" I said
"Yea I'm making sure you taking it slow these next three months" he said putting his hand on my shoulder
"I'm not no fucking grandma" I said
"You are for the next three months, I'm deadass" he said, he looked over at mani, then back at me
"I'm going to get the forms so we can get out of this boring ass hospital" he said walking out
The door closed making awkward silence fill the room with nothing but beeping backing it up
Out the corner of my eye I see Mani move her chair closer to my bed to the side of me.
I turned to her, getting a better look at her. She looks tired and drained, she has bags under her eyes making her look tired as hell. I snap out of my thoughts when I see her give me a small smile. I give her a small smile back. I have no words for her
Silence and beeping, still.
She starts to tear up, making me sit up some more so I can lean over to hold her hand
