"Surgery?!?!?" Cole almost yelled.

"It's not big, a lot of people have had it." Casey tried to calm him down.

"Okay, why?" He asked, calming himself down.

Casey looked at the clipboard. "She has tonsillitis, it's getting really bad, I've looked and it seems that she can't swallow or breath through her mouth."

"Oh," Cole replied, he had never seen, someone having their tonsils taken out. "Can I wait with her?"

Casey looked into his brown eyes. "Sadly, not now, she is having her surgery soon, perhaps now." She smiled. "But, you can wait in her room nearby, and be the first person to see her in the recovery room."

"Alright, I'll take it." Cole smiled weakly.

Casey lead Cole towards a Keiko's designated room, he sat inside and waited. He got his phone out and started to text multiple people, his friends, and Keiko's friend. He had gotten his phone number in school one day. 

He sighed and waited on a chair in the room. For what seemed like an eternity. Finally, she came in, asleep. He bolted up and watched as the doctors pushed her bed to it's designated place. Casey came back, her eyes watching Keiko.

"How did it go?" Cole asked as he walked towards her.

"Well, although she might need a longer recovery." She looked at Cole, arms crossed.

Cole was confused. "Why?" His eyebrows scrunched up.

"Well, her tonsils were really swollen when she had gotten here, like I had told you before, it would be hard for her to breathe and such, well after the surgery, her pipes were no longer blocked, but she seems to still be having a hard time doing some things." Casey walked towards her recovery bed.

"Oh." Cole took a paper and clipboard that Casey handed to him.

"You can fill this out right?" She smiled and watched Cole nod. "You can wait in here until she wakes up, if you or Keiko need anything just run to the front desk." She started to walk towards the door. "A nurse will come in to check every so often."

Cole watched as she shut the door and left them alone. He sat on the chair and took a pen, he started filling the form in.

Patient's Form The top of the paper said.

Name: Keiko Holt

Age: 12

Birthdate: Around 21 March 2005

Allergies: none

Medications: none

There were other things on the list, he didn't know how to fill some out so he left it blank. He signed his name at the bottom, he took the paper and went to the front desk to hand it to them. He went back to the room and sat in the chair, waiting for Keiko to wake up.

Cole pulled the chair close to the bed, Keiko's hand was beside her, on top of the blanket. He set his hand on Keiko's, she curled her hand around his. Cole looked at her, her eyes were still closed, but she knew that Cole was there.
