Alvin
She is having the whole "I'm capable of throwing over the government in combat boots" vibe and how much ever I would want to see such an act, I can't expect it from her. She can't- not that she won't from the current signs, or not that she cant because she is a woman, but she is sick.- and if she will, I don't know how to proceed with my actions either.
"No." She replies. She is clearly not thinking straight.
"Maya," I motion a stopping gesture. "Don't. You'll end up in- ". I stop. I can't say what I was going to.
"What's the end of that sentence?" Maya asks clearly knowing what is the end of that the sentence.
"Please if not for me, stay for your parents."
She let's out a huff and shakes her head. We make clear eye contact and instead of defending herself she falls on earth and starts seizing. Her eyeballs are locating itself to the top and her white and red-rimmed eyes reflect me running towards her.
I yell for help till Mrs. Ramirez comes running to her backyard and has a indescribable expression of horror and fear and sadness. She dials 911 while I deliberatively use common safety aid for her seizure and before I manage to complete the procedure, the paramedics' shadow me over and grad Maya subtly out of my lap and wheel her into the van as she gasps for breaths and almost roll of the stretcher. I feel a tear rolling down my cheek and I'm sweating in the exposure of sun. I can't see a lot now as the tears burn my eyes and blinking them off doesn't seem to get rid of their bulky volume. Mrs. Ramirez accompanies her daughter in the van and I kneel over and scream at what I witnessed because this feeling was although sudden and unexpressible, it was surely something. I almost saw Maya die in front of me today, it might be over exaggerated but if it wasn't a minute earlier I bet she would have seized her body into a grave.
The story is moving fast. I cried over Maya's incident although I met her once and before that saw her for 3 times overall. This is a fast moving story because it seems that there isn't long for it to go on.
