like any normal person, ransom was terrified of hospitals. it was not really because of a traumatic experience or anything; he just hated the smell of dead people and such. see, the smell of death was not very comforting. and he was grateful that his parents had not died yet, and also none of his grandparents that was familiar with. so, he never really had to be in one, except for the time when he fell out of a tree and broke his arm and wrist, but that really did not count did it? so as he made his way over there, he shivered when the building came into sight. he was sure that, besides all the patients and stuff, ghosts of every kind were roaming the halls. and if ransom was terrified of one thing, it was spirits that thought poking fun at the living was a blast. and sure, maybe when he became a ghost he would enjoy it, but until then they could stay the hell away from him.

he knew that this was probably hard for the pink and blonde haired girl, but honestly he did not care. they were friends, maybe something else if ransom had his way, but still. and she was a nice girl and he hoped that if it were him she would do the same for him. besides, it's not like it was hard right now. maybe if she was close to death and barely breathing ( which he hoped that she would not be, because ransom was not sure he could take the loss that would have to come afterwards ) it would be very difficult, but he was willing to take that risk for her. so he knocked to let her know that he was here and she could come out or he could meet her in there or whatever. but he leaned against the pale blue wall, wondering who decided that white and pale colors that resembled white was the best idea for someone who was sick. it would probably make him puke, and he was sure that the sun shining on it was hurtful to someone's retinas and beyond. seriously, who thought of this bullcrap?

when harmony came out of the room all ransom could do was smile. she looked so fragile in that gown, shorter than him and skinnier. not that he was fat, but he had that boy build, and usually girls were smaller than him. usually, being the key word. but then she grabbed his hand and he just smiled some more, not letting any negative thoughts run through his brain. she really was not going to leave him. there had to be a cure somewhere right? then she leaned into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her small frame. "it's no problem. don't worry your pretty little head about it. i'm glad to be here, being alone really sucks." he told her, a smile still on his face. he was glad that she was glad that he was here, even if it would or could be for only a little bit.

and now it was time for her to get her radiation therapy. ransom still was not too sure on how this could actually help a disease, but hey, at least it was sort of working right? so, up until she started to get sucked in by the machine he held onto her hand. actually, ransom wondered if that had to hurt or what. it was probably pretty painless, knowing that it was just radiation waves and such, but eh, whatever. so while he waited for her to come out of the machine he bit at his nails, unsure of what to do with himself. then, once she was all fine and dandy next thing he knew she was puking her guts out. yeah, that was pretty gross. but at least he was not the type of person to throw up from just seeing someone else do it. and when she told him that he could go he just shook his head. nope, he was not leaving. "i'm going to stay. up until they have to throw me out." he smiled at her while she continued to puke up her insides.

[/b] she whispered softly avoiding his gaze as she sat on the bed.Her tears spilled from her eyes as she held the sheet in her hand and played with it gently.So much for her being strong.Harmony had always found it harder to be strong when she was in the one place that made her feel weak. The hospital made her feel defenseless because it was the one place she could never run from. She had to go to it even if they didnt have a cure. They could only prolong her life. But for how long? How much longer would god let her live. Long enough to do everything she wanted to? To have a husband and a family or even a long term boyfriend. But even then would it be fair? For them to have something for such a short period of time and have it taken away?

Harmony sobbed and shook her head as she frantically wiped away her tears. She lifted her hand and removed her elastic from her hair letting it fall to her shoulders. At least this time she would get to keep that. They had stopped intense radation so it stopped killing so many of her good cells. The ones she needed the most. What was good about killing cancer cells if you didnt have your other cells to defend your body? Not much. Harmony frowned and her tears stopped as she moved back onto the bed and leaned herself against Ransom's chest. She buried her face against it gently. He was really one of the first people other then Adrian she had let in. But Adrian was her Brother. He didnt exactly count.

From what she knew he was going to be at the hospital quite a bit. Maybe he shouldnt come with her anymore. Harmony was sure he could have better things to do then spend time with her here. All he got when he came with her was tears and puke. Attractive huh? Sighing Harmony traced her fingers against Ransom's chest slowly in small designs. ''they should let me go soon now that i stopped the throwing up'' she murmered gently as she stared at her finger. She knew at this moment she wasnt the prettiest girl ever. Pale, sweating and cold. Not to mention the ugly hospital gown she was defintely not a catch. And most likely when she left she would slide into sweats and an oversized tee to spend the rest of the day on the couch.Harmony sighed finally looking up at Ransom and meeting his gaze with her brown eyes. She felt guilty he had to see that. Or that she had gotten so close to him. If they hadnt met (if she would of been smart enough to stay away) he wouldnt have to watch her go through this four days a week. He could spend his time with some other girl and have a life. She felt guilty.

But then she felt honoured that Ransom cared this much about her. He wanted to be there with her even when she was at her worst.(and she wasnt even close to her worst). For once in her life Harmony felt special. Her parents protected her to much. She was either at the hospital or locked up in her room. Adrian got the blame for her being sick, Adrian needed help but Harmony got the attention. Her friends didnt treat her normally they treated her like she was some sort of freak and guys never gave her a second glance after they found out she was sick. But Ransom wasnt afraid. He touched her so softly so sweetly that it made her breathe catch. When she was with him she felt better then she ever had before. And she knew she had to fight because of that.

It might have been a little mean to say but ransom was glad that he never had cancer yet. it would probably be something he would die for later, since his great grandpa and his grandma had both died from it and his other grandpa was diagnosed not too long ago, but it was still a sad thing to see. it was sad at how fragile harmony looked when she was like this, and it was not one of those cute fragile. It was one where he was afraid that if he touched her, she would break in two. well, even more than two, more like a million pieces. usually though, it was okay because he knew that she could obviously not break, but he did not know. maybe it was seeing his good friend helpless made him a little uneasy about this. not scared like he did not want to be here, because he did. but uneasy like, well he could not explain it. just sort of uneasy, and let’s leave it at that. but he would definitely still be here for her. he would never think of leaving her alone, that would probably be near signing her death sentence. so that was that, and he was glad that it was over.

When she came in and apologized he shook his head at her. there was no need, it was something that was natural. Hopefully hers would go away soon, so that she could be normal for a little bit, but you know. he really disliked to see her in pain like this, but she did not need to apologize, he understood. “nah, I understand. it’s not your fault.”

[/color] he smiled at her and shoved his hands in his pockets. the smell of this hospital was still making him a little dizzy, and the white was making his eyes go crazy with brightness, but hey, he would stick it out. if worse came to worse at least he could lay down in an unused bed, or take a seat or something. it was not a bad dizzy, just one to make the room spin a little. and it would hopefully go away, it was just a lot to take in. and seeing all the sick people with sad looks in their eyes was depressing. He never understood how people could work in here, it would make him depressed all the damn time. but maybe that was just him. hospitals were never pleasant places, and he could see why.

Ransom’s heart broke as harmony cried. he never did like to see her cry, maybe it was because he had a nice crush on her. it as a nice sized one, not tiny, but not huge. it was probably weird that he measured it, but he did. he was extremely grateful that she had let him in though. that’s probably what started this whole crush, the fact that she was actually human. but he honestly could not imagine being a girl and losing her hair. to girls, that was their most important feature. To most, of course. there were obviously some who did not care either way, but eh, he would care even though he’s a boy. well, he would care about his. but if harmony went bald he would probably shave his head for her as well, just because he was that nice of a person. what a saint.

He did not mind how long he was here. it’s not like he was that important to the band anyways. he was just a silly bassist, they could do one show without him. that is, if he was here that late, because he was one of the later one’s today. and if she told him to go home he was afraid that he would have to tell her to shush cause he was not going anywhere. not even if she begged him. well, maybe if she begged. But still. then she started to talk and he stroked her hair, nodding. “okay. but don’t stress about me getting out of here soon, I don’t mind staying.”[/color] he told her. and it did not matter that she was pale, sweaty, her mouth probably tasted like vomit, it did not matter. mostly because even though she probably looked a little more tired than most, she was still very nice to look at. and she had to know that deep down somewhere.

He was not sure at what point that he started to care so much for her, but he did. maybe it was the first time that he saw her like this, maybe it was before or after. he wasn’t really sure but he did not really care. he was just glad that she wasn’t on her death bed. and he was glad that she was getting it treated as best as possible. now if only they would find a cure, that would be nice you know?
