Chapter 3 ~ E.R.

Really I've been sitting here for three hours hoping the doctors would come in and say I was good to go. But of course they take the longest time they can.

----------Friday---------

Okay really. I've been here since 6 p.m. Last night and I'm still not out. I need to be at school so Cooper can ask me to the dance. I'm trying to sleep but I can't, I'm so tired but I need to stay awake just in case Cooper comes here to ask. Then, I see someone. They're standing in the distance wearing a yellow dress with sunflowers on the skirt part. I think it's my sister but I can't make them out. A little closer and they kiss my forehead it's definitely Sarah, my older sister. She's the best sister a girl could ever ask for. Sarah is short with long brown hair that goes below her back. Her teeth shimmer in every light and she's so beautiful makeup isn't even in her dictionary. She has never wore anything but dresses her whole entire life. I know that sounds crazy but when u have a body like hers it's really easy to pull off. Finally the doctors come in. They say I can go home and it was just a scratch. I'm not sure why but at that moment I started to cry. Probably because I was there for I don't know maybe TEN HOURS and it's just a "scratch". Whatever.

------------Later That Day-----------

I get to school and my knee is wrapped up in bandages. Everyone welcomes me and I go right to history because I completely missed algebra. I walk into class and my best friend Sadie is sitting in my desk. Okay, That's not normal but I'll go sit in hers. The people that once use to be my friends were hers, and when people were welcoming me they weren't even looking at me. Okay, I'm okay with this for now I guess. After history I have gym so I have to run to my locker as soon as the bell rings. It rings and I'm literally unnoticed by everyone, even Sadie. Okay, I'm officially not okay with this.

----------Sadie's View----------

"Hi Cooper, isn't it a tragedy"

"What? What happened?"

"Oh you didn't here about Fiona?"

"No"

"Well she died last night in the hospital"

"What?!?"

"Well actually she's in a coma but she's probably going to die. I mean we all know how weak her little body was."

"Well it's nice to know you want her to die."

"Cooper I never said that, I just don't want her back in my way of being number one at this school."

"Whatever, you're a jerk."

-----------Fiona's View--------

At this point I don't know what to think. Should I be mad at Sadie or should I be sad because I'm going to die soon? I have about five different emotions going on inside of me. Every time I watch movies or something and the person has a coma the doctors always say it's their choice to live or die. So maybe it's my choice.

-----------Next Week Friday--------

It's been one week from the dance, the dance I didn't go to. I mean how can I when I'm just, when I'm just, A GHOST? All I can do is cry in my pillow everyday and watch my mascara run down my face. Then, an odd looking note flies into my room. I pick it up hesitantly. When I open it my jaw drops to the floor. It says From Cooper Height. Wow.
