wrong and I am glad to see her. She is one of my closest friends and I hated the time that we spent arguing over Michael. As I gaze at her, I cannot understand why Michael did not see how remarkable she is. And I am completely confounded by the fact that he would choose me over her. In comparison, I am short and dainty and I do not think that I am half as pretty as she is. There are so many guys that would love to be with Katharine and not me. I wish that Michael were one of them because if he were then there would not be any issues and Michael could be happy. I know that Katharine did , and possibly still does , have very strong feelings towards him. I would love it if Michael could see that she would be pe rfect for him.
    “Come on in” I say to Katharine in a sweet , glad voice. She smiles as she walks over to me. I gaze at her and she leans down and gives me a gentle hug. When she pulls back, she flings her bag down on the floor and takes a seat by the bedside.
    “You look so much be tter now, how are you feeling?” S he says in a sympathetic voice.
    “I am getting there, I still have pain but when t he pills kick in its not so bad. S o tell me how have you been?” I say to Katharine . S he has now leaned back fully in the chair , crossed her legs and folded her arms. That is a sign that she has something on her mind and I wonder what is puzzling her.
    “I have been ok Alanna , ” her tone urges me even more in to thinking that not all might be good with her.
    “Is there something you want to talk about?” I say and she considers her words before she speaks.
    “I don’t want to burden you , ” she says and looks to floor as she does.
    “I am your friend and you could never be a burden . T alk to me and tell me what’s wrong?” I say and I move up further in the bed feeling a jab of pain as I do.
    “It’s about Michael ,” M y heart skips a beat as I hear that words.
    “Is he ok?”
    “Yes he is fine , ” I am relieved to hear that and now I wonder what she really has to say about him.
    “Alanna this is hard for me . W hat I have to say I don’t know if I can . ” I begin to get slightly irritated and cannot hold back what I am about to say.
    “Katharine I really wish you would just get to the point !” S he looks at me and the urgency in my tone assists her in speaking.
    “I am with him again , ” I do not answer her I just look at her confused .
    “Alanna, I know that this has possibly come as a shock to you but I care about him a lot and I want to be with him . I hope that you can understand ?” M y heart is racing I know that I have wished for this but now that it is a reality I don’t know exactly how I feel about this. What miffs me the most is Michael?  I do not see how this could be. How could he just change his mind like that? One minute he is asking me to go away with him and the next he is back together with my friend. He hasn’t even been here since I have w a ke ned and how does even know that I am ok? He saved my life and said he loved me but now he has moved on to Katharine. I expected him , at least , to call but he has not and I start to think that possibly he does not love me anymore. I am silent as I stare at Katharine . I do not want her to see how irritated this has made me. Therefore, I smile at her.
    “Katharine when did this happen?” S he sighs and begins .
    “I t was around the time he was brought in to hospital . ”
    “C an you tell me more?”
    “Yes, when I heard about what had happened I was so scared and I came immediately . W hen I did, I saw Adrian and Sophie talking in the hallway I knew from their faces that things were serious and I was terrified that something bad would happen to you and Michael . I ran over to them and they told me that you were about to go into surgery . T hey said that there was nothing any of us could do we just had to wait . ”
    “K atharine how did Adrian seem,” S he sits up further in the chair and her face is more
