I'd been sitting in the waiting room of the hospital for seven hours now. The floor was dirty, and they only had had plastic seats to sit on. There were a few lights in the room, but not even to keep it very bright. It was cold in the room too. I needed a sweatshirt or something to keep me warm. I got up from my seat and walked outside. It was a cold summer night and it had just rained, so the ground was reflecting the city lights. I walked to the nearest bus stop to ride back to my house and grab a sweatshirt for me and the car to take back to the hospital.

When I got to the house, I walked into Elsa's room to find a sweatshirt that would keep me warm. I looked at her bed, still covered in blood from her head injury. I wanted so bad to shut that image out of my mind, but I couldn't. I turned away from her bed and walked over to her closet, which was still open from the day before. I tried to find a sweatshirt that would fit us both decently, but I was more concerned about her being comfortable than myself. After finding a decent sweatshirt for her to wear, and headed to my room to find a jacket that I could wear. I stopped in the entrance of my room and looked around, trying to find the tight fitting black jacket that I loved so much. Elsa had bought it for me two years ago for my birthday. I saw it in a pile in the corner of my room and quickly put it on, hurrying to get back to my sister. I had to do one more thing before going back to the hospital.

I stopped at the store before getting back to the hospital to pick up something special for Elsa. She loved chocolate and stuffed dogs, so that's what I got her. She has since she was a little kid. She doesn't like the assorted chocolates though, so I made sure to get her one with everything that she liked.

When I got back to the hospital, there was a doctor standing. He walked over to me. "You can come back and see Elsa now. She's in room 116." he said as he led me to the room where Elsa was. She was laying down in the hospital bed, but not asleep. They had cleaned her face and washed her hair out so it was back to the silver that I loved. "She might be a little grumpy because of the medicine she's on, but I think she'll be fine once she sees you." I nodded and walked into the room. The doctor pulled the door closed behind me.

"Hey Elsa, how you feeling?" I placed the stuffed dog on her chest and pulled a chair over to her bedside. I had the box of chocolates hidden behind my back. "I got something else for you." I handed her the chocolate and a wide smile came across her face.

"Thank you Anna. But you didn't have to do this for me." Her room was white, so much cleaner and brighter than the lobby.

I put my hand on her leg and opened the box. She sat up and looked at me. "Yes I did Elsa, I love you." She sat up and pulled me closer to her bed. I knew what she was going to do. I got up from my seat and knelt down beside her bed and kissed her.

"I love you too, Anna." She picked two pieces of the chocolate from the box and put one in my mouth and one in hers.

I held her braid in my hand, it was soft like it had always been. "What happened in there Elsa?" I asked her, trying to figure out what happened when she had fallen down in the bathroom. "Do you remember anything from this morning?" She just stared into my eyes, as if she didn't know what I was talking about.

"I don't remember much, just that I was in the bathroom taking a shower, and then that you were standing next to me in an ambulance." There was a hint of pain in her voice, like she was having trouble recalling what happened. "Listen, Anna, I can't leave the hospital until they find out what happened for sure. But you can't stay here all the time that I am, you have to go home at some point."

I put my fingers over her mouth, signalling her to stop talked. "I know, but for now, I'm staying here." She grabbed my hand, just like I did with hers when we were in the back of the ambulance. That comforting embrace that only sisters could give each other. I flashed back to when we were riding in the ambulance and I yanked my hand away from her. I turned away from her.

"What's wrong, Anna?" she asked. There was worry in her voice. "Did I do something?"

I walked back over to my chair and put my jacket on. "No Elsa, you didn't do anything. It's just...last night, I was so scared, scared that I wasn't going to get to tell you that I loved you again." I began to tear up as I walked back over to the side of her hospital bed.

I laid with her in the hospital bed and just looked at her lightning blue eyes. I didn't say anything and she didn't say anything. We just cried together, not tears of sadness or pain, but tears of happiness. We were glad that we could hold each other when whatever happened to her last night was all said and done.

I closed my eyes and felt Elsa's hand on my cheek. "Anna, you have to go now." I opened my eyes and nodded at her. She grabbed the back of my jacket. "Can I keep this Anna? Just for tonight?"

"Um...sure." I took off the jacket and handed it to Elsa. She put it on the bed next to her and closed her eyes. She was so cute when she was falling asleep.

"Thank you." she said as I was about to leave the room. I turned around and smiled at her, even though she couldn't see me do it. She wanted a part of me to be there with her, and that's why she asked for my jacket. I walked back to my car and drove home. I needed sleep, and I would go back to Elsa's room tomorrow, but for now I needed to focus on getting home so I could see my sister tomorrow.
