Is this second chance meeting enough to make them forget about the past? *** “Brielle, let me introduce you to your new best friend.” My mind and my father say his name in unison.

*Brielle’s POV*

There are children screaming somewhere down the hall. The sound of clattering wheels against the wall, scuffing it for the hundredth time because, for one reason or another, no one has thought to clean the one wheel that pulls to the right. I smell that stale plastic glove smell that just lingers in the air as well as mass produced generic surface cleaner. Was it a brand thing to get every hospital to smell exactly the same?

I hate it.

I hate this place.

Down the hall, I hear the knock of nurses and doctors as they enter the room of patients, ready to deliver medical news. Whether it is good or bad, I have no idea.

At least it is news. At least they know something. At least something is happening in the present moment.

Out of all of these sounds and of all these circumstances, it is the rhythmic, pulsing beep is the sound I cling onto that is on the small monitor hanging above Jonathan’s head.
