The stale smell of the hospital room clung to David’s clothes. His grandmother was in a very bad way. He’d barely slept in days. "StarryKnight," his online friend, had been his rock. He was the one who kept him sane. They had shared their location and stories. He felt that she was his best friend. He couldn’t bring himself to answer her calls. A message popped up on his phone: "I saw you leaving the hospital. You looked like you needed someone." He felt all his worries resurface. His eyes teared up.
