Chapter 13 - - Ep 12: Sorry (1/2)
Black's POV
It's been hours since we last saw White. Lilac and I have been waiting in the hospital's lobby the whole time. We were asked loads of questions by the workers of the hospital to determine what could've happened. They even asked us for details of any family members they could possibly call, but of course they couldn't get anything out of us since we didn't know anyone.
”Excuse me, is Mr. Variton and Ms. Rikki here?” A doctor asked as he walked into the lobby. Yes, my last name is Variton. It's so weird that I absolutely hate telling other people about it.
”We're here.” Lilac replied as she stood up and raised her hand. She's been crying non stop since earlier, and hasn't stopped yet. ”Is White okay now?” She asked.
The doctor came closer to us and smiled softly. ”He's gonna be fine. He just needs his rest.” He explained. ”Now, are you sure you don't know of any family members that the patient has?”
”No, we don't.” I replied.
The doctor sighed. ”Since there isn't anyone here for him, would the two of you mind keeping an eye on him for tonight? Just in case he wakes up, he can be greeted by a familiar face.”
”Of course we wouldn't mind.” Lilac replied.
The doctor left and the two of us let out sighs of relief. ”He's okay. That's so good to know.” She said, finally smiling.
”It really is.” I replied. ”I'll be right back. I just gotta call my aunt to let her know I'm not coming home tonight.”
”You aren't going home?” She asked.
”No. I'm gonna keep an eye on White.”
”I don't mind doing it.”
”I still have to tell him something important, remember?”
”Are you gonna apologize?” She suddenly asked.
”What?? How di-”
She interrupted me. ”I heard you two that day. You know, he was just really worried about you. I'm sure he didn't mean to say anything bad.”
”I know.” I responded. ”It's why I'm apologizing. Anyway, I'll be right back.” I said as I left. I pulled out my phone and dialed Aunt Autumn's number.

”Hey, Aunt Autumn.” I greeted her. ”I won't be coming home tonight. I'm staying at a friend's.”
”Really? Well, take care of yourself. What time are you coming home tomorrow?” She asked.
”Maybe around 7 or 8?”
”Alright, sweetie. Take care.”
”Bye, Aunt Autumn. Thanks.”
I came back to Lilac and saw her fixing her stuff. She saw me walking towards her and gestured for me to hurry up. ”Come on. Let's go see White.” She said.
”Right. Coming.” I replied.
I fixed my things too and we both headed to White's room. We arrived and we both just stood in front of the door.
”Aren't we going in?” I asked.
”Actually, you go in first. I'm gonna get us some drinks.” Lilac replied. ”Is orange juice good for you?”
”Maybe some coffee.” I replied.
