I woke up on my own today, not by someone else waking me up or anything. I look over to my window, it's raining outside. I love the rain. It's weirdly quiet right now. I decide to leave my room to see if anyone else is awake. When I walk out of my room the house is still dark and no one is awake. I realized that I didn't even look at the time. I walked into the kitchen to look at the clock on the oven, it's 5:48 a.m. "Oh" I said out loud, as that has explained why no one else is awake, usually we all wake up at 6:45 am. I was going to go to sleep, but I decided to watch the rain instead. It's so pretty here.
I ended up falling back asleep. I got woken up at 7 by Zola yelling my name. "Sorry! I'm awake, sorry!!" I said. "It's okay Sarah, you probably should start getting ready though so we're not late; we have to leave in 30 mins!". I jumped out of bed and went to choose out an outfit, frustrated that no one woke me up sooner. I brushed my teeth and my hair, feeling anxious from being rushed. "Sarahhhhh, it's 7:20, hurry please!" Zola said. "It's okay I only have to put on my socks and shoes, then I'll be done", I thought, trying to calm myself down. I tied my shoes, grabbed my stuff, and hurried out the door.
In the car, I was quiet because how anxious I felt. My leg was bouncing, "ugh I hate being rushed, I should of stayed awake", I thought. No one really payed attention to me, but it was fine. "Okay so Sarah, after Bailey and Zola get to school, you can move up to the front seat. Also when we get to the hospital you can eat breakfast, Im sure Richard has food in his office. Okay?" Derek said. "Got it" I replied.
We made it to the hospital, we pulled into the parking space right next to Amelia, who was sitting in her car. I realized and jumped out of the car and tapped on her window. She got out of the car and I jumped and gave her a hug. "Amy!" I said, hugging her, not really realizing what I said. "What did you just call me?" She asked with a soft smile. "Uhhh... Amy? Is that okay? I'm sorry I didn't realize I even said that! I'm sorry!" I said, taking 100 miles per hour, I was already feeling anxious, this just added to it. "Hey, yeah it's okay, just only my brother really calls me that; it just took me by suprise, that's all, of course you can call me that!" She said, reassuringly. "Sarah, are you okay?" Amy asked, I hadn't even realized that tears were streaming down my face. Why does this always happen, I thought. Amy pulled me into a hug. "Let's go inside, okay? I think Derek already left us and went in there." She said, wiping my tears and smiling softly. "I'm so sorry I always do this" I said, feeling guilty. "Do what?" she asked. "I'm always crying around you, you must think I'm a baby." I said to her. "Oh honey, I would never think that, you crying around me shows that you're comfortable with me, which I love so so much. You've been through so much in your life, you're so strong, and sometimes you just have to let it out. I understand what it's like to lose a parent, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. I'm always here for you Sarah, know that you can always come to me when somethings wrong, I will never get tired of you, I promise." My lip is quivering by the time she finishes talking. We reach the entrance and she kisses my on my head, "I have to do a surgery, I'll come see you as soon as I'm done, okay? I love you!" she says while walking off. Derek told Richard that I'd be in his office today, but I didn't want Richard to see me cry, so I went to the bathroom first.
I ran into a stall and absolutely broke down. Sobs racked my whole body as I leaned against the wall. I heard the door open, so I had to hurry up and stop, but I was still sniffling. Someone knocked on my door and said "hey, are you okay? it sounds like your crying." Hearing this made me so scared, I didn't want to reply. "Yeah" I answered, but my voice cracked. "Do you want to open the door?" she said. I was hesitant, but I did. Standing outside was Dr.Bailey. "Oh honey, come here." she said, pulling me in for a hug. "Im okay" I said, wiping my tears. She gave me a questionable look, and said "Alright, now scdaddle!" she said with a sarcastic face. I laughed, then went to Richards office.
I knocked on the door before I walked in. "Sarah!" Richard said. I told him hi, then sat down in a spinnt chair. "Im bored." He said after a few minutes of silence. "Don't you have chief stuff to do??" I asked him. "Yeah I guess." he said, not wanting to do it. I asked if I could watch TV and he threw me the remote.
After about an hour, I got bored. "I'm gonna go walk around, maybe find a surgery to watch or something." I told Richard. "Okay don't get lost." he replied. And I begun my journey. I decided that I would go to the peds unit to find someone my age that I can play uno with. I walked up the stairs. I went to the nurses station and asked one of the nurses "Hey, is there any kids my age in here right now that can play uno with me?" He looked through the files before giving me a response. "Yeah 215" He said pointing.I knocked on the door, heard an answer, then walked in. There was a girl with auburn hair, freckles, and bright blue eyes sitting there with a resting smile. "Hi, I'm Sarah, wanna play uno?" I asked as I walked in. "Yes please! It's so boring here!! I'm Ellary by the way, but you can just call me Ella." I smiled and nodded, to say okay. " I handed out the cards and put the rest in a stack. Ive never lost as hard at uno than I have to Ella. After 5 rounds, I rage quit. "UGH!" I said, kinda loud. "Wanna just watch tv instead?" I asked. Ella giggled and nodded. "So how'd you get here anyways?" I asked, not thinking much about it. "I don't even know, something with my stomach had to get removed surgically; I think my spleen?" she replied. "No way! I'm pretty sure I had the same thing taken out a few months ago" I said. "So why are you here?" she asked. "I'm two of the doctors' foster kid!" I replied excitedly, I love it even though it's boring. Just as I said that my name got called over the intercom. "Sarah, please report to Dr.Webbers office, your parents are waiting." it said. My face turned red; how embarrassing. "Uh oh! that's me; I gotta go sorry! It was nice playing uno with you!" I said, walking out the door. I guess I lost track of time, now it's time to go home.
