Just a feeling

Sticks and Stones

I just got dismissed from the office and I was sent home and basiclly that's where i'm gonna be for the next 3 days beacuse of my "self-defense" Idiots these days. My mother comes to pick me up, she's sitting there yelling at me and I was trying to stay calm, but she just wouldn't shut her damn mouth. So I started to yell back. While we were arguing, my mom wasn't paying attention to the road, there happened to be a drunk driver beside us. It all happened too fast, next thing I know im lying in a surery room at Los Angeles Angels Hospital. I'm lying down on the table with two men who seem to be my surgeons and their crew staring over me. The doctor speaks and he says "hey there jake, you have just been in an accicdent and we will be operating on you today. My name is Dr.Shepard and this Dr.Burke. If all goes well, you'll be out of here very soon." My eyes start to slowly shut as I fall asleep, the last thing I see is Dr. Burke reaching over for a scalpel. I triedly say "is my mom...is my..is she okay..?" Then my eyes shut and all I see for next 6 hours that I will be on that table for, is darkness.

The surgery is over, I wake up in a room with machines all around keeping me breathing and they say technology doesn't help you. I lay there staring at the ceiling above me, Dr. Burke walks into the room with a clip bored,
"How are you feeling Mr.Anderson?"
"Better, Not too well"
As he is about to leave the room,
"Wait! Is my mom okay?"
"Jake, I'm sorry but she passed."
My heart stopped, literally stopped. How could my mother be gone? Forever. She's' my mother, I'm still a teen, I'm not ready to be alone in this world. What have I ever done to deserve this? My heart stopped, the machine that gave me life, no longer did. Flat-line. No ups or downs, just a flatline. Dr. Burke runs in and yells "CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE!" Nurses and doctors run in, all around me. Blue scrub there, blue scrub here. I start to pass out and Dr.Burke yells "WE'RE LOSING HIM" Then a nurse runs in yelling "CODE BLACK" Everyone just stared and said "Whats going on?!" Dr. Burke looks very unpleased.
"Get him to an OR now and get him ready for surgery"
They rush me out the room.
I shut my eyes, the pain overwhelmed.
Dr.Burke walks over to the nurse with a scared and cracking voice.
"What kind of code black?"
She replies.
"There's a shooting, unloaded guns all over the ground and bullet shells scattered"
"Who's doing this?"
"There's a new gang in Los Angeles, very popular for their works." The Police barge in and tell us to evacuate. They push Dr.Burke into a room, he starts banging on the door "I HAVE A DYING PATIENT, I NEED TO GET OUT THERE. PLEASE" they open the door and tell him to run to the OR fast or else he's going back into the room.

He speeds down the hallway into the OR and scrubs in, a nurse looks the doors of the surgery room so the gang can't get in.
*DR. BURKES POV*
I open jakes chest with a scalpel and desperately try to save his life, he's too young to have his life lost, I need to be the hero here, I need too.
"Clamp" a nurse hands me the the clamp, I start messing with his heart and I try to get a heart beat. I look up at the machine that tells us life and death, and there is was, a beat. His heart pressure rushes to 89 real quick and I could see his heart beating inside his naked chest. I close him up, surgery successfully done. A police officer comes to the room and tells us that they've arrested the gang and that it's safe to come out. I ask if anyone was hurt.
He replies "a bullet through a woman's chest, she's in surgery at the moment."
I shake his hand, look at his badge and thankfully say "thank you officer Richard"
