The Wait
''Liling...
''Liling… are you there?
Liling… if you can hear me, you need to wake up. Please you can't do this to me, please…''
The body on the bed was motionless, her eyes tightly shut. No matter how much Xin Yong screamed her name she did not move, she did not budge. It was past ten in the night but Liling had not shown any signs of waking up.
That night, after she fainted, Jin Yue carried her immediately to the car and Xin Yong helped him put her into the back seat, after which she sat beside her placing her head on her laps.
She did not stop calling her name and crying until they reached the hospital. Liling was rushed into the emergency ward and they were both instructed to remain outside. The doctors checked her up after which they put her on drip as they waited for her to wake up.
As soon as they allowed them to go in, Xin Yong who had been crying since dashed into the ward and sat down beside her friend.
