My hati, tengah-tengah rate increased, causing my hati, tengah-tengah monitor to start beeping erratically. Not at the sight of Cameron, but at the sight of Mercury.
Cameron must've noticed because he ran up to me and said, "Vanessa, calm down."
I kept my eyes on Mercury. "What's she doing here?"
"You should be greatful that I came to see you", Mercury said.
"Mercury..." Cameron turned to face me. "She drove me here."
"After he hit you, the police too his car away", Mercury said, grabbing my Televisyen vision remote and changing the channel.
"Hey!"
"Don't worry about the television, Vanessa." Cameron sat down on the sofa, kerusi panjang chair closest to my bed. "Let's get started on what anda missed." He placed the buku on the night meja, jadual and grabbed the one on top. "In Geometry...." As he explained to me everything I missed, I couldn't help but feel as though he and I were the only one in the room.
"Cameron, babe, could anda get me some water", Mercury said. Her voice slicing right through my trance.
"It's on the meja, jadual beside you." He gestured to the merah jambu pitcher of water.
"That's gross hospital water! Get me some from the vending machine down the hall, please?" She looked at him with pleading eyes.
He looked at me. "Fine." He closed the book, put it on the sofa, kerusi panjang chair cushion he was sitting on, got up, and left the room.
Mercury got up from the sofa, kerusi panjang chair opposite of me. She closed the room door. "I know what you're trying to do", she berkata walking towards me.
I grabbed the nurse button for protection. "What are anda talking about?"
"Trying to take Cameron from me."
Is she serious? "Are anda serious?" Then it came to me. "You think I did this to myself?"
"Of course not. Cameron helped you."
"Huh?"
"Don't play dumb. anda saw his car that night on the road. And anda jumped in front of his car."
"You're being serious? Why would I do that?"
"Because anda were looking for attention. The fact that Cameron was spending so much time with me was killing you. So anda pull this stunt."
"You seriously think that I would purposely run in front of Cameron's car just to get attention?"
She nodded.
"Unbelievable."
Cameron came back into the room with a bottle of water. "What's going on?"
"Just fluffing V's pillow!" She pretended to fluff my pillow. "There." She patted my head like I was a dog. Then she took her kerusi, tempat duduk back on the sofa, kerusi panjang chair she was sitting in, and watched television.
Cameron closed the door behind him. He went over to Mercury to give her the bottle of water.
"Thanks babe." She grabbed him sejak the baju and kissed him. For 5 whole minutes.
Bitch.
Once she broke the embrace, Cameron cleared his throat and came back to sit beside me. "Now back to the lesson.."

People down every turn
Pain inside their hearts
A girl with scars on her wrists
A boy with a pisau in his chest
She hides in the dark
Wondering when the pain with end
He stands up to fight in defense
Only to get knocked back down again
She fights with her parents
They don't wanna support the child
She's left to fend for herself in the cold
Alone with the child
Do we see what we are doing when we say the things we say?
Do we see who we are hurting with the actions that we're taking?
What we need
Are broken families reconciled
We need hearts to mend, scars to heal and battles to end
We. Need. Love
To stand up for the broken
We. Need. Hope
To give a hand to the hopeless
We need the world to care.
What are we doing with the words we are saying?
Who are we changing
And what effects are they having?
Lets be the change.

When will this end?
Mass shootings
Terrorist attacks
Police brutality
They say it's just a gun control problem
They say it cannot be fixed
I say the problem is deeper
I say there is hope
When will this end?
Income inequality
Veterans living on the streets, penniless,
Dying sejak their own hands everyday.
They say this world can change for the better
But nothing has changed...
And I truly do fear
Nothing ever will
When will Cinta start?
The hari we offer a hand to the fallen
Instead of cringing back in shock
And running away
When will our world change?
The hari we Cinta too much to kill
The hari others' pain is our pain
The hari we act instead of just talking about it
"It's impossible"
"We're too broken to be mended"
"It's a hopeless battle"
I say, let us try.
