Juniper Woods was a mix of anger and sorrow like no one had ever seen from her before, already having stormed into the hospital the moment she got word of what had happened. It had already been a little bit since the incident in question, but once she had heard the words ‘Apollo got shot’ from her redheaded best friend, she reacted instantly, and Athena only barely had time to tell Juniper where he was and that he’d pulled through thankfully before their call had ended abruptly.
Now here she was, arriving on Apollo’s floor. She could’ve taken the elevator, but she was running on pure adrenaline and impulse, and had practically raced up the stairs instead. The anger that someone would do this to Apollo, which had motivated her to come and check on the attorney, was quickly starting to give way to her sadness the closer she got to his room. But even with a nurse walking after her and saying “Ma’am!”, Juniper could not be stopped until she reached the door.
Tears glistened in her eyes as she barely managed to sign a sheet for visitors during visitor hours, and by the time she actually stepped inside, the brunette was a sobbing mess.
She sat down at Apollo’s side through hiccups and sniffles, trying to remain composed and failing miserably. “A-Apollo...Apollo...I-I’m...I-I’m here...a-are you...okay?”
