Ellie

Chapter Thirteen

        The doctor and I are walking down the hallway and I start to feel myself shaking, I’m so scared now. What if I am the first one to find out that she is going to die, what if her tumor has spread enormously and that she won’t survive even with surgery, but I should be thinking positive not negative.

    We walk into the room and there she is, Ellie, laying there sleeping peacefully, like nothing is wrong with her, she doesn’t even know what is wrong with her, and that is a good thing. I walk towards Ellie and and stroke her cheek with my hand and I accidently wake her up but when she looks up at me I see her beautiful hazel eyes, and then she closes them.

    I am watching her peacefully thinking shes asleep until the doctor starts to pull me out of the room,

 “What are you doing!”

“Somethings wrong. You need to leave.”

“I’m not going anywhere!”

“Miss please, you need to leave.”

“Sweetie come here, we need to talk.” Gramps says as I see tears starting to form from his eyes and I walk towards him.

“What is going on! What is going to happen to her!”

“The, the doctors uh well they… ”

“They what!” I screamed

“They said that Ellie might have only a few weeks left to live.”

I hear him say that and then I see my mom and dad appear, crying,  and I start running towards them and running and running until I wrap my arms around their cold bodies and then they are gone, and I’m left standing there looking like a fool. I then end up falling to the floor and I start breaking out in tears and I can’t stop, so many thoughts are rushing through my head, like how Ellie could die next week and me never being able to wake up one morning without her there next to me, or leaving the hospital with Ellie in my hands thinking that it will all be okay and that we can actually go home and then I slowly fall asleep.

    The next morning I wake up on the hospital couch all dizzy and Grandma is crying. I get up and go walk over to her.

 “What’s wrong Nana?”

 “Your Gramps is in the hospital room right now, he had a heart attack while you were sleeping, the doctors say its because of all the drama and pressure and emotion from last night. He has also had heart pains. ”

 “Is he going to be okay?”

“From the look of it, I don’t know sweetie.”
