The notes between us

Every second counts

ELLE'S POV:

Mary and I drove to the hospital everyday and sat with Lauren.

I felt guilt every time I thought she might move but didn't.

Sometimes I would count her breaths to pass time.

I would hold her hand and sing to her.
We brought her presents too.

The doctors thought she was slowly improving and decided that Mary and I should come at lunch and after school,so we did.

We came everyday for 3 months.

She made no sign of improvement and I had a breakdown.

I went home and I screamed and kicked.
I prayed too though.
I prayed harder than I ever had before.

Then,all was calm.
I cleaned the mess I had made and took a warm bath.

When I was done,I lied down on my bed.

I slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
