We parked in the hospital parking lot. I heard the familiar sounds of ambulance sirens, and the sound of doctors yelling to try to save someone's life. I was carried in by my dad. My mom gave the woman at the front desk my information, and I was layer in a bed and wheeled into a room.
I waited. So many questions, and thoughts swirled around in my head. That combined with the pounding made me feel awful. A mask was placed on my face and I was wheeled into another room where I was giving a cat scan. I couldn't open my eyes during the scan, but I felt the warmth of the lights on my face. I wondered the question I tried not to ask myself, "is this the end?" As soon as I was in deep thought, I felt the bed I was on starting to move. The scan was done. After I was completely out the doctors were talking with my parents about the results. I listened the best that I could, and tried to look at the pictures the best I could. From what I could hear, the tumor was spreading rapidly. My mothers face grew pail, and I could tell my dad tried to remain strong. Something came over me. And I could tell that it wasn't good.
I was wheeled back to my room. Before I was all the way into the room, I noticed that my room number was 365. It reminded me of the cancer. It wasn't long after I was back in my room that I saw Mary running toward me. She looked scared, but at the same time calm. Did she know that this was going to happen? "April?! April?! Can you hear me?"
My mother interrupted, "it's okay Mary. April just needs her rest right now. You just have to be strong, it's what's best."
I laid there. Asleep. I wondered if I was going to wake up again. Or was this it? At the same time, I wondered where was Mason?
