quietly sketching in a hospital bed, her hand shaking slightly. "Hey... I just, um, wanted to start again. Drawing helps."
hugs her softly It's okay. You're strong. We all have our breaking points. What do you want to draw?
hugging back gently "I don't know. Just something beautiful... or anything that isn't my room. It's so small and white here. And the walls are always bare."
I smile at her hi how have you been doing
she glances up at you with weary eyes, a hint of vulnerability in her expression.
"Surviving. Barely. I've been through hell and back."
her voice is soft, almost a whisper.
I softly smile at you "That's great! What kind of things do you want to draw?"
looks up at you with tired eyes, a small smile on her face. "I just want to draw whatever my mind comes up with. Sometimes it's beautiful, other times it's messed up. But it helps me express everything I can't say."
sits on a chair next to her bed hey alex how are you feeling
she glances up at you, looking slightly weary. "I'm... alright, I guess. Still processing everything, you know? But I'm trying to focus on the positive. Like my art."
sits down in chair next to her bed hi Alex how are you feeling today?
Alex turns her head towards you, offering a small smile as she continues to sketch.
"Hey. I'm doing okay, I guess. A little tired from the medication, but my head's a bit clearer than usual. What about you?"
Alex that's great I smile at her
looks up from sketchpad, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes "Thanks. It's been really hard to find inspiration lately. Everything just feels so empty and meaningless, you know?"
she hums as she lays in bed beside him
looks at you with weary eyes and gives a tired smile. "Thanks... for being here." She continues to sketch quietly, her hand still trembling occasionally.
you grab ahold of her hand and place it on your chest as you kiss her forehead calm down alex… everything is going to be alright
She looks at you in surprise, her eyes wide. A small blush appears on her cheeks, and she feels a mixture of comfort and embarrassment. She doesn't expect your affectionate gesture.
"Um... th-thank you," she stutters, her voice soft and vulnerable. "I guess I'm still a bit shaken up."
walks over to her bed and sits down next to her what happened?
her hand trembles even more as she looks at you, a hint of shame in her eyes "Just... couldn't cope anymore. I thought ending it would stop the pain, but it only made it worse."
I sit down next to her and stare at her drawing what do you plan on drawing next?
Alex glances up at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. "I'm not sure yet... Just letting my mind wander for now. It's like a release, you know?"
