Good and evil

Trying to stay happy

(I'm currently listening to Charli XCX so I mean I feel pretty cool)
Ava's pov*
I watch from a distance as they pull Brooklynn onto the stretcher. She doesn't look alive, but yet she doesn't look dead either. Ethan picks me up and steps up the ladder to the ambulance. I sit on the bench they have in the ambulance. I break down in tears once again. It was just 3 days ago we were at the Baseball game, we all were happy, not sitting in the back of an ambulance with Brooklynn bleeding out of her leg. The only thing running threw my mind is "this is your fault" and "weren't you the one who was supposed to watch her?" Ethan holds me, I'm pretty sure I hear him crying too.
A young woman maybe 23, 24? Comes by and says that's visiting hours are over. "Can one of us stay here?", I ask. "Sure, who'd like to stay?" "I will.", I say. "k well I'll be off then." "Bye Ethan." He kisses me on the cheek and Brooklynn on the forehead before finally leaving. I hear him break down as soon as he's out of the room. I get on my phone and realize I'm been pretty disconnected from the outside world. I decide I might as well text Jasmine back. I text her this following message:
"Hey sorry I haven't been texting you lately, my life's been pretty hectic. I graduated, adopted a little girl, and then just today my daughter was hit by a car. Thanks for trying to keep in touch but I don't know how long I'll be gone. ✖️"
I'm starting to fall asleep when Brooklynn's heart monitor starts beeping rapidly. I jump up and run to the nearest nurses station. "Nurse, nurse, I need a nurse!" The nearest nurse runs into the room. She takes one look at the heart monitor and says "it's impossible to know how long she has now, her lungs are closing in on her." No my heart comes to a halt, it skips a beat. I feel the world crashing around me. I see black. Then I sleep.

*Next day*
I wake up. I see one of the same exact heart monitor that Brooklynn is attached to. Am I in a coma, am I dreaming, what's going on? I see Ethan sitting on the small bench next to my bed with his head in his hands. He mutters something along the lines of "this is all my fault, I should have held her hand." I assume he's talking about Brooklynn's hand. "It's not your fault." I don't think he can hear me. He looks up, and all around the room. "Ava your awake!" "Yeah I'm awake what's the big deal?" "Ava, you were in a coma, not only that but well you were in your coma. Brooklynn woke up." Wow that hit me like a truck, no pun intended. "Oh wow, thats...." I start to drown off. "Amazing, a miracle, a stroke of luck?" "Yeah that works." "So after they said her lungs were closing in on her you kind off fainted and I mean you know the rest." "Yeah, yeah I do." "How are you feeling?" "Pretty good actually, it probably really ironic for me to say this but I'm feeling really well rested." "Haha, I missed you." "Thanks, I missed you too." "You wanna go see Brooklynn? She's still in the children's wing." "Yeah, sure." I stood up and started walking with Ethan to the wing she was in. "Ava you're awake, I never thought I'd see you again!" Brooklynn cried as she jumped onto my leg. "Yes, you'll see me till the day God decides it's time for me to do better things." "Hi I assume you're Brooklynn's parents?" A young female doctor probably 27 came into the room. "Why yes we are." Ethan said before I could even start to answer. "I'm afraid I have some bad news." I see blackness again. Then once again I go to sleep.
