I was at the hospital, sitting in a cold bed with an IV in my arm, fresh from surgery. Everything was a blur until the nurse walked in.<\/p>\n<p>She had her hair pulled back in a tight bun, her name tag hanging loosely from her scrubs. She looked familiar, but I couldn\u2019t place her\u2014until she looked at me and said, \u201cYou will be okay, I promise. You helped me once\u2026 and I never forgot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I froze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmy?\u201d I said, barely able to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Her eyes shimmered for a second, then she nodded. \u201cYeah. It\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the air left my chest. I couldn\u2019t find the words, so she pulled up a chair and sat beside me like we were kids again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou probably thought I disappeared,\u201d she said, smiling faintly. \u201cI did, in a way. We moved overnight. My mom got a job offer in another state, and we didn\u2019t have time to say goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tears prickled at the back of my eyes. \u201cI waited. I kept asking about you for weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She smiled again, a little more softly this time. \u201cI know. The teacher sent me your letters. I read every single one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t believe what I was hearing. Amy, the girl who wore oversized shoes and never brought lunch, was now a nurse\u2014confident, calm, and kind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2019d you end up here?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong story,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I guess it started with a cheese sandwich.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And just like that, we were back in fifth grade.<\/p>\n<p>Amy had nothing, really. Her backpack had holes, her jacket sleeves were too short, and I once saw her picking up a crushed granola bar from the floor. I couldn\u2019t stand it.<\/p>\n<p>So one day, I packed an extra sandwich and offered it to her. She hesitated at first, but I told her I wasn\u2019t hungry, which was a lie.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, I packed more. My mom never asked questions, and Amy always accepted with a quiet \u201cthank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kids used to tease her\u2014call her names, make jokes. But I stayed by her side. Some even turned on me for it, but I didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>She was quiet, but when she opened up, she was funny, creative, and smart. She loved drawing, and once she drew a picture of us on the swings, using only a pencil. I kept that drawing in my notebook for years.<\/p>\n<p>Then, one Monday morning, she was gone. Just like that. Her desk was empty, and no one had answers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe moved,\u201d the teacher finally said, but wouldn\u2019t say more. I wrote letters and gave them to the office. Weeks later, a package came with all my letters and a note in Amy\u2019s handwriting:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for seeing me when no one else did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that was it. Until now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to come back,\u201d Amy said. \u201cI tried finding you online. I searched your name every now and then, but I couldn\u2019t remember your last name until recently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSame here. I looked for you too,\u201d I admitted.<\/p>\n<p>She grinned. \u201cWell, now you\u2019re stuck with me. I\u2019m your assigned nurse for recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy was the poor girl in my class. She never had any food and everyone made fun of her clothes.
