Chapter 2
Beep Beep Beep I roll over moaning as I think arrggghhh Mom shut the damn alarm off but when I roll over it’s the heart monitor thingy. Wait why the heck am I in a hospital and then everything comes flooding back to me, the crash the stupid deer running in out of nowhere. Suddenly I hear the door open to my left and a nurse comes in with blonde hair and brown eyes she asks “Are you okay sweetie you got into a nasty car crash you're lucky you made it!” I look over her taking in her white nurse uniform and the name tag that says Marcie. She takes my silence as a reason to start talking “Well i’ll go tell the doctor you're awake you’ve been out for three days” She walks out of the room high heels clacking on the tile floor as I have a late reaction THREE DAYS HOW COULD’VE I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR THREE WHOLE FREAKING DAYS!! I start to panic and wonder why my mom isn’t here beside me but then I remember she was also in a car crash. I try to think of all the people who should be here my best friend Trisha and Lily and my boyfriend Marcus. I don’t have any grandparents I know of and I don’t even want to think about my dad who doesn’t even deserve that title. I hear the door open to my left and the doctor walks in with white coat he looks over me for a second and smiles “So how are you feeling?”
“ Like I’ve been thrown through a windshield” I smile weakly and try to sit up but a flash of pain hits me and it starts to go dark around my vision. I moan and lay back down the monitor of my heartbeat starts to go up again.
“Take it easy”the doctor says kindly “You had a major concussion and you broke your arm and three ribs”
Wow my day is off to a great start I think as he checks my arm.
“Will the good news is you should be out of the hospital within the week”
“Yeah” I say weakley and suddenly the dark closes in and I fall asleep.When I wake up I see my best friend Lily’s blue eye’s I stifle a scream she falls back on the floor laughing hysterically “You should have seen your face pure surprise Hahah” I gave her my most mock-annoyed face but man it was good to see her. I peer behind her laughing figure to see almost as amused faces of Trisha and Marcus I can feel my face light up with happiness as I push my arms as far out as they will go and I embrace them. “It’s so good to see you!!!”
“I know you missed me so much” Trisha says mockingly I roll my eyes and say
“Why didn’t you come sooner I’ve been slowly and painfully dying without you guys!!” I practically yell
Marcus says calmly “Calm down woman, we weren’t allowed in only family” he rolls his eyes “Sheesh”
“Speaking of family where is my Mom shouldn’t she be here? I mean she is family” I ask expectantly.Suddenly they all become very interested in their shoe laces “What guys,what’d I say?” I wonder a little worried now Lily is first to speak up “Dylan,”
“yes”
Her blue eyes brimming with tears threatening to spill over she take a deep breath and says “Dyan your Mom didn’t make it, she died on the way over”
“Lily” you and your horrible humor now where is she” I sit up and look around expectantly it only hurts a little this time when I sit up.
“Dylan” Marcus grabs my hand and looks into my eyes his brown eyes also threatening to spill tears “She’s gone, I’m sorry” No no this cannot be happening mom and me when we got back were supposed to have a movie night and watch my two favourite movies Divergent and 22 Jump street both that I haven't seen 16 years is not enough with her this can’t be happening what will I do? I can vaguely hear my friends talking in my ear saying it will be okay and we’ll figure it out. But I tune them out. Suddenly the darkness takes over and I black out. When I come to I see the doctor standing over me with a sad look on his face "I'm sorry Dylan your mother didn't make it" Ya thanks for telling me now I think but instead say" yes I know"
"How?"
" my friends told me" his face hardens and says
" They were not supposed to tell you in your weak state"
" Hey, I was not weak and I still survived the telling of the news" I say slightly annoyed.I feel the tears in my eyes start to flow over but I wipe them away and ask " how long was I out?"
"1day"
"Oh" I whisper the dumb tears are about to flow over I wipe them away again, I will not cry in front of the doctor!
" you can go home tomorrow" he says examining my arm " so you better get some sleep"
"Okay" as I close my eyes the loss of my mother washing over me and I let out a sob. The dark is pushy so I let the darkness close in and sleep takes me.
