Hiatus

Hayley Divine Romance

I have often said, seemingly in jest, that my favorite two words are “THE END.” They mean that the tale has been told, the journey completed.
"Doctor, do you believe that you shouldn\'t ruin a good today by thinking about the bad yesterday?" I gaped at the little girl looking at me with her cold eyes. Finally she spoke!
But I don\'t know how to answer her when all my memories from my childhood were forgotten.
"Never wish them pain, that\'s not who you are. If they cause you pain, they must have pain inside. Wish them healing." She added nonchalantly, I swallowed the lump in my throat and I watched her eyes filled with unnamed emotions, questioning myself how to answer her question, but she just grinned.
"I read that quote from a book but it\'s quite unfair right? You wish them healing, then who would wish for yours?" I stayed speechless before looking away.
This kid makes me uncomfortable.
"You have scars on your wrist, doctor." My eyes widened because I wasn\'t aware that the scars on my wrist were visible from my slightly agape lab coat.
"Y-Yeah accidents happen a lot. Just like yours." I tried to reason out and she just smiled, a knowing smile.
"Yeah just like mine. You also have the gift that nobody wants." I stared at her again and she moved forward to whisper.
"Pain doctor, it\'s a gift that we both have. Isn\'t it addictive? Until it drowned your bones and nerves to numbness.” I narrowed my eyes and sighed.
“You’re too young to utter such words—”
“Am I?”
Is she?
“Seeing you right now, it’s a disappointment that in the end I might end up just like you."
