Her Name Is Genesis

Chapter 8

Amira contemplated her drawing there was nothing special, there was nothing that was enough to scare a person. She spent a good twenty minutes looking at the drawing when she realized why the doctor had gotten scared. In the drawing, you could see a man with doctor O'Neill's features. Amira understood that her drawing of him might have been out of line, although, she did not understand exactly why. What if doctor O'Neill kicked her out of the hospital, what if she was forced to sleep in the streets like the kids in the documentary she had just watched?

Amira got up from her bed and grabbed her wheelchair, she sat herself down and rolled her way out of the room. She had not been out of the wing where her room was, and she wanted to see more. It was a shift change, therefore, her nurse would not be there, during shift change there was too much commotion, making it impossible for a nurse to stay there during that time.

Amira wheeled herself out, looking in the rooms wherever the doors were opened, she wondered if those kids had the same problems as her. She stopped in front of a room that had drawn curtains. Amira decided to slightly poke her head in.

"Hello?" Amira called out.

"Go away!" A boy yelled out."

"I am Amira?

"Go Away!

"It is not polite to say that," Amira called out.

"Then Leave!"

Amira wanted to know the ignorant boy, he seemed a little rude, but she was tired of being treated as if she would break and that boy was luck of the draw. She slowly opened the door and made her way toward the bed. The boy sat right up and looked at Amira with a shocked expression. Amira froze once she reached the bed, the boy was gorgeous and he looked familiar.

"Hi," Leo said shyly.

"Hello," Amira answered immediately. "What is your name?"

"Leo," he answered, "and yours?"

"Amira." She retorted.

"What are you doing here?" I got bored of being in my room.

"I am bored too, but no one wants to be here."

"I can come to see you often. That way you won't be bored", Amira offered.

"I would like that," Leo answered with a grin on his face.

O'Neill wanted to see Leo before heading to his apartment. When he approached the room he heard familiar voices talking. He opened the door to see Amira sitting at the foot of Leo's bed massaging his feet.
