Episode 1

Noah sat in front of the room his brother was in. Only half an hour ago they had been walking through the streets talking when a car came around the corner at full speed. Jason, Noah's brother had pushed him aside because the car was obviously aiming to hit him and got hit himself. Someone saw it and called the cops immediatly. Noah felt like it was his fault. It was his idea to sneak out without any bodyguards even though he knew that there weren't few enemies of his father out there, willing to pay someone to kill him.

..."You ok? I saw you when I went out of my room over there."...

The girl pointed down the hallway.

..."So I thought I come and cheer you up. It can't be that bad, can it?"...

Noah just buried his head in his hands and shook his head.

..."Well, you won't be getting in that room for a while... the sign says the doctors will be in there for another hour. How about I take you to the cafeteria?"...

She didn't really wait for his response but pulled him up and pulled him into a direction. He shook off her hand but followed her. She slowed down so he could walk next to her.

..."*Is that your brother in there?"...

..."Yeah*."...

She nodded as if she knew how he felt.

..."Where are your parents?"...

...^^^"My father's busy. My mother's gone. It doesn't matter anyways."^^^...

..."*Parents always matter."...

..."Not for me. They were never for me anyways."...

..."Look, my parents were never there for me either. I know how you feel."...

..."Oh so you know what it feels like to have the feeling your parents are dead*?!"...

Noah didn't plan on getting mad at her, but he was so angry at his father, at his mother and at himself right now that he couldn't ignore it.

..."Yeah I do. My parents are dead."...

..."Oh god, sorry. I.. I just blurted that out."...

She laughed and then grinned at him.

..."*Its fine. Could of been worse. Once, when I was at the graveyard, an elder asked me if I was visiting the grave of my grandparents."...

..."Oh... that's kind of... well, harsh."...

..."Yeah*."...

She pointed to a door.

..."We're here. The cafeteria is pretty close to your brothers room."...

She walked up to the door and opened if for him.

..."*The cafeteria is actually only for patients that are here long term, but everyone can take a visitor with them so its find."...

..."Thanks. What's actually your name? I just noticed I never asked or told you mine."...

..."I'm Sarah. I'm 14 years old and am a long term patient in this hospital. But in a few months it'll be over*."...

Noah thought he saw a flash of sadness as she said the last part but he soon forgot it.

..."*I'm Noah. 15 years old. Why are you in the hospital?"...

..."I have a disease. Not really interesting."...

..."Oh. I hope you get better soon*."...

Sarah smiled and sat down at a table near the entrance. He sat down across from her.

..."Let's stop talking about the sad stuff."...

He exhaled.

..."*What if my life is made of sad stuff?"...

..."You could a worse life."...

Sarah went and got herself an apple.

..."If you want anything to eat just take it."...

..."Thanks. What time is it actually?"...

..."Uhmm... 4:42 P.M. You can see your brother in about half an hour."...

Noah nodded and got out his phone. He quickly texted someone.

..."*Who are you writing to?"...

..."A friend of mine. We were actually gonna meet in the city today."...

..."Oh... what actually happened? I mean... if you want to talk about it... like if.."...

..."Someone planned on hitting me with a car. My brother pushed me aside and got hit himself. That's why it's my fault."...

..."Why should someone want to kill you?!"...

..."My fathers name is Drew Stark. Also known as the rich CEO of XXX."...

..."Oh... that's your father?!"...

..."Yes."...

She say there silently.

..."*So you're rich."...

..."And famous bla bla bla."...

..."Why do you talk to me then? Shouldn't I be too average for you or something?!"...

..."So you think that of me now?"...

..."I... I mean... wouldn't this ruin your reputation?"...

..."I don't really care. I think we should go back to my brothers room, it's about time they are finished."...

..."Ok. ... You aren't angry at me for saying the average stuff, right?"...

..."Its ok. I don't take stuff like that to heart too much*."...

They went back to the room in silence. Sarah still looking kind of embarrassed.
