Red and blue lights faded in and out of her vision. Blurs swept past not giving her any clues as to where she was going. A voice whispered in her ear. 

    "Rain." That was her name she remembered that. Who was saying it was the only thing she wanted to know. Then a flash of light and then sudden darkness.

One Week Later

"Good Morning, Rain." A young candy striper chirped as she brought in a tray of food. It was odd cause her name was Candy short for Candace. Candy loved her nickname it was very...girly. I guess that's what you could say. She loved being girly and she was very perky as well. It scared people some times including Rain. "How are you feeling?"

The much unhappier girl that laid on the bed stretched her legs and replied,"I'm alive, aren't I?"

"That's true."Candy smiled and gave her the tray of orange jello,a ham sandwich, and a carton of milk."Eat up. You get to leave tomorrow, so we want you to have a few good meals before you leave."

"You think hospital food is good for you?"Rain stared at her tray realizing she probably wouldn't eat anything on it. She hated the taste of ham and she was lactose-intolerant, but she might eat the orange jello.

A teenage boy that sat in a very uncomfortable chair stirred trying to find at least one comfortable position. The two girls watched until he stopped and then turned back to each other.

"He must care about you a lot. He's hasn't left you. Not even to go to school."

"No, he just feels sorry for me."

Candy looked at her funny, but didn't press the issue."Well, I best let you go. I'll talk to ya later, Rain."

She waved bye and grabbed her cup of jello shoving a spoonful in her mouth.  

"I don't feel sorry for you." Rain nearly choked on her jello. She turned to see Jake putting his black leather jacket on. "But if you still think that, then I'm going to leave."

"But," She still had her spoon in her mouth making it sound like she said buth.  He turned to her. He obviously was hurt, but she couldn't understand why. She finally removed the spoon and set it on her little tray. "I don't want you to go."

Jake sighed and let himself fall into the chair."Why do you do this to me?"

He placed his head in his hands letting silence fill the room. Rain was completely confused. What could she have done to him that mad him feel pain? She thought she was the only one in this "relationship" that had ever felt any suffering from it. "What am I doing to you?"

He looked up,"Mel,Rain, I care about you deeply. And you deny it. You don't even think that I feel anything for you."

She pulled her legs towards her. He was right. She never thought that it was possible that he had. "But if you did, do, then how come...how come you never told me?"
