The red haired paramedic with spiked hair insistently shouted that he needed Gavin’s emergency contacts. He asked quite hastily whether or not Gavin had any close family.”Does he have any emergency contact numbers.” I leaned down and flipped quickly through the inserts of his wallet. Gavin had collected a variety of four leaf clovers, and condoms. He had an old picture that’s edges were etched through wear and tear of daily life of a baby and a woman from so many years before. There was nothing. “There is nothing, all I have of his is this.” I practically whispered hoping that this fact was the furthest thing from the truth. “Well there is nothing we can do now, hop in the frailties between Life and death waits for no man ” The firey paramedic motioned me forward and the sirens of resounded all around me. I felt like I was trapped in an alternate reality…. It was so surreal. My vision became blurred with tears, and panic. I finally understood what they meant by horse blinders; when the spinning reality of the situation rushed over me, like a giant wave from the ocean that makes you choke and shiver from the cold. I had never been around anyone so close to nearing their own death. His skin was just so gray, and I was coated with his blood which permenantly left a stain of his body imprint on my dress. I prayed, with my head bent over and my pressed palms in my lap for the first time in my life. I prayed to every god, goddess, alien, predator, whatever…….. it didn’t really at that point seem to matter. Gavin was one of a kind. He was quiet, and sweet he made his mark on this world, one person one conversation at a time. He was most beautiful for his simplicity, which is uncommon for artists in his profession.
He lay in the hospital bed so peacefully like a cat laid out in a sunbeam, I had to look away because of the terrible gash the accident made on his head. His milky porcelain skin, looked like someone had taken an easel out into a thunderstorm and thrown glasses of red wine to desecrate it. The nurse strolled into the room wearing a bright pink teddy bear uniform, that was obviously there to put young children at peace. “Hello there sweetie, are you a close friend or family member to………” She quickly glanced at his chart “…Gavin. Because he has a severe head injury. He broke his ribs, and he has broken his leg in two places as well. The poor guy had quite the accident eh. He needs to stay at the hospital for a while because he is in a coma. So are you his girlfriend or something, because I will require your contact information to update you on his status here at the hospital.” She inquired quite inquisitively, cocking her head back remiending me of a maschievious golden retriever we once had. “I am only an aquantaince, but other than that I know nothing about his personal circumstance. I was hoping there might be soemthing on his file.” Roxy blushed at the comment about the girlfriend question, and wondered if her emotions were that easy to read across her face. The nurse seemed offput and displeased with this fact and took down Roxy’s name and cellular number. The nurse requested that Roxy left as visiting hours were over. Roxy quickly pulled up Gavin’s covers and whispered once more into his unconscious ears that she promised to be back again soon.

Roxy awoke to hear the incessant ringing of her Samsung Flipphone. Groggily she opened her very unresistant eyes to see that the hospital was calling. Excitedly she arose to her the very stern voice of a doctor named Malacov Persevear. Persevear quickly retareted “Ms. Cellan, this is the Royal Hospital of Ashburnan calling to inform you on the fact that through intense researching, the social worker on staff has found that Mr. Gavin Alorean was once a ward of the state. To this day the whereabouts of his family members are an utter mystery. He seems to have had sucessfully made it through the system and keep a clean record into the real world on his own. He hated living in foster care and made it out at the young age of 16. We know nothing about his friends. Would you mind coming by the hospital again. He needs his things; such as clothing, underwear, toothbrush, or any pleasentries. He will need also something to keep him entertained when he awakes. Could you possibly stop by his apartment and gather these essentials for him?” The doctor caught Roxy by surprise, but she felt that it was her duty to help Gavin because she had promised to be there for him.
