Waking up inside of the hospital again, Lou was once again alone. This time Lou didn’t feel well enough to try and grab the doctor’s notes on his condition, he already knowns that it wasn’t good. From how weak he felt to the amount of tubes attached to him. Looking at the door, he hoped that someone would open the door instead of leaving him in the darkness, alone and scared. Feeling the tears form Lou struggled to wipe them away. Looking around slowly Lou saw that the controller was nearby. Reaching out Lou tried to grab it, he could just barely touch it but nothing else. Trying harder and harder, Lou allowed his tears to flow as he felt so weak ad useless. ‘Please someone, please come’ Lou screamed inside of his head. Hearing what sound like footsteps just outside of his door, Lou couldn’t help but have his hopes up only for it to immediately dashed when the footsteps went away. Closing his eyes Lou waited for sleep to come since he didn’t want to be left alone.

“Young master are you awake?” said a familiar voice.

Opening his eyes, Lou looked at the door, there stood his father’s butler. Watching his father’s butler make his way in and sat down.

“The doctor will be in here shortly!” his father’s butler asked calmly. “Do you desire me to put the television on and open the blinds slightly, so you have some sunlight?”

Nodding his head slightly, Lou wanted to tell his father’s butler how thankful he was but doubted he could at the moment.

Staring at the television Lou watched as the channels changed before landing on a screen with a DVD disc bouncing around.

“I shall put on a movie for you, young master!” his father’s butler stated as he sorted through the few disc options the hospital had. After the disc was placed in, the television showed that a nature documentary begun playing. When the doctor didn’t arrive after a while, his father’s butler looked out of the door.

“Young master give me a moment and I’ll see what taking the doctor so long, I’ll be back shortly!”

“Ok” Lou replied as he watched his father’s butler left the room and he was left alone once again. As the memories of what happened came back in flashbacks, Lou tried his hardest to block and ignore them. He couldn’t focus on anything and being alone just amped up his fears. ‘I’m safe here, nothing bad is going to happen at the hospital’ Lou kept thinking to himself, but it didn’t help with his body increasing trembling. Feeling his breath struggling and the tears forming didn’t help. ‘Mother, father, butler please don’t leave me alone’ Lou screamed in his head as he found himself struggling more.

“Young master, I’m back!” his father’s butler said cheerfully. “Young master? Someone grab the doctor!”

As his world blackens Lou barely heard the sound of footsteps running in before succumbing. Waking up with a gasp Lou found himself surrounded by doctors, nurses and gladly his father’s butler. This time Lou could clearly see that his father’s butler was worried, and it didn’t made Lou feel any better.

“Young master, young master you are going to be ok now!”

For some reason Lou felt that it was a lie like how his parents said a similar thing when he was first diagnosed because of some minor health issues his mother was worried about. The next hour or so went by with Lou getting regular checked on by different doctors and having a nurse stationed in his room. His father’s butler had left a few times, most likely making called and hopefully eating. Lou wasn’t sure how he would feel if his father’s butler became unwell because of him. After awhile a doctor injected him with something, it caused him to lose and regain consciousness until he was finally able to wake up. Slowly looking around him, he saw that he was in a room he never seen before. It was basically an emptied room beside a heart monitor and some other machines. Everything was white beside the window which showed the night sky, it was the only colour in the room. ‘Hope I’m not stuck in here for long, I might lose my mind’ Lou thought with a slight chuckle. Looking over his body, Lou saw that he had different tubes attached to him. ‘At least I feel better’ Lou thought. Moving his hand to his face Lou felt a tube there. Putting his hand down, Lou waited and waited for someone to come. No one did, there wasn’t even a sound beside that of machines working. Lying in silence, it was difficult to prevent his thoughts from wondering all over the place. Looking to his side to see if there was a device to call for a nurse but there was none. ‘Guess I will have to lie here until someone comes sooner, or I might end up falling back asleep’ Lou thought in boredom. After a few minutes Lou started to consider removing all the tubes but decided not to because he might end up either hurting or killing himself. ‘I’ll give it maybe an hour before I do anything direct’ Lou decided before returning to waiting.
