Chapter 2

There were a lot more people now in my room.

There used to be one nurse, but now it's three.

Is this what the prisoner in the movies felt?

Being guarded with people who I didn't even know their names?

I wanted to sneak out just like last time.

I wanted to meet more people like the mother in the park the other day.

It felt suffocating in here.

However I cannot do that anymore.

It's hard for me to do the same trick again.

Suddenly, I got a visitor.

Two visitors actually.

It was the mother and her daughter in the park.

I could not tell you how happy I was at that time.

Just to see some unfamiliar faces around here made the room felt a bit lighter.

The mother greeted me with such a gentle voice.

Her daughter greeted me with her high pitched voice.

I asked her how did she knew I was here.

She told me she saw me went back to the hospital that evening.

She asked the nurses around for my room.

When she got the room's number, she left while thinking about returning other time as it was already late.

Then here she was.

In my room with her daughter.

We talked about ourselves around few hours.

Her name was Hannah.

Her daughter's name was Amelia.

Her husband went to somewhere far away and never came back.

That's what she told me.

I didn't understand what she meant back then.

I told my name was Kyle.

I had a heart symptom since I was born.

Since I was born also, I had never been outside.

The air was too bad for my lungs, they said.

But I didn't really mind.

Because I had my parents.

They were always beside me when I'm lonely.

They always made me feel happy.

They told me about the outside world.

The history, the sports, the art, and much more.

But one day they stopped visiting me.

The doctor said they had an accident and I could stay here until I'm 18.

But obviously they were lying.

Why would god took the only thing that made me happy?

It doesn't make any sense.

I felt very lonely for 6 years.

Until the last few days.

When I met you, miss Hannah.

I smiled as wide as I can to her.

Suddenly she started crying.

Why would she cried?

Wouldn't she be happy because I said that?

Oh wait, that tears maybe because she was happy.

When I took a look at Amelia, she was also confused at her mother.

I decided to let some time passed by to let her calm down.

********

After some time, She finally calms down.

She wiped her tears with the back of her hands.

She asked me,

"Kyle, do you want to live with us?"
