    ... slowly take my hand away from his mouth and ease my knee from his arm. He wraps it around his stomach but remains quiet. Slowly I start to back away from his bed and towards the door. “One last thing; her name is Emily. You better pray to whatever god you believe in that she comes out of this okay.” I do not wait around to see his response to that; my time is up. I slip out of his room, closing the door after me, then quickly make my way back towards the lobby. My heart is hammering quickly in my chest from the physical exertion and adrenaline rush. As I walk quickly towards the main hospital doors, I feel like I am wearing a huge, neon sign around my neck telling anyone I pass of what I have just done. Luckily it is still pretty early in the day and the place is fairly empty. Those I do encounter are too wrapped up in their own worries to pay much attention to me. I slip into another bathroom before the exit where I pull off the scrubs and mask. Taking the lid off of a large trashcan I shove the clothes as far down as I can and make sure trash covers them from the top.

I quickly squeeze them shut again but not first without seeing that Clint is definitely not holding my hand; Eric is. I pull my hand roughly away from him. “Where’s…” I want to ask about Clint, the effects of my dream still lingering, but I realize that would sound weird asking about someone I’m not supposed to care about and someone Eric doesn’t even know. Luckily Eric finishes my sentences for me. “Your dad? He will be back in a little. He was taking your stepmom home.” “My, what?!” No way did my dad marry that woman!
