My Autobiography

Chapter 8: A Day In The Life

(SLIGHT TRIGGER WARNING//SCARY SCENARIO, MENTION OF DEATH)

It's an early afternoon on January 17, 2017. As the little boy continued to smash the buttons on his small controller with his long fingers, his Mother came into his room to bother him a bit.

"Hey, I'm going to lay down for a little bit, my head is hurting." she said with a calm and soothing voice.

"Ok Mom, get some rest, let me know if you need anything!" the little boy exclaimed, his smile being as contagious as it could be. His Mother ran to him, picking him up by his arms, and sucking him into her arms, giving him a big hug.

"I love you, my cute and intelligent son!" she whispered into his ear.

"I love you too, mommy." the little boy said.

The Mother let him go and went towards her room and quietly shut the door for peace and quiet as she took her nap.

Thirty minutes have passed, and the little boy is still smashing the buttons on his small controller with his long fingers. As he continued to smash his controller, he heard his Mother yell. He ignored it, considering she had issues with sleep-walking and other things related to sleeping. But once she yelled a second time, the third time being a scream, he immediately ran to her room carefully, making sure that no one had broken into his home. He slowly opened the door to his Mother's room, and to his tragic surprise, he saw his Mother on the floor lifeless.

He ran up to her and checked if she was breathing, in which she was not. He thought to himself how could she go one minute being fine to the next minute lying lifeless on the floor. He kept asking himself this as he tried to check for a pulse and doing CPR on his own Mother. He eventually dialed 911 and got the help that he needed, the paramedics arriving at his home in a matter of seconds. They quickly put her on a gurney, and tell him he can either stay home, or take a ride on the ambulance with his Mother to the hospital. He ultimately decided to go to the hospital with his Mother.

Throughout the ride, the paramedics talked loudly of how she could die in the ambulance in front of her child. The child then yelled at the paramedics, explaining to them that the child was sitting right next to the Mother and that he could hear them talking. He continued talking to them, saying that if it was her time, then it's simply her time. Don't be scared if she dies in front of him, because he's already been through worse. Shortly after his little rant, his Mother starts having a seizure in front of him, slightly scaring him and making him uneasy. He watched the paramedics help his Mother as they pulled into the hospital, opening the doors with doctors and nurses pouring through the doors and rushing her to a hospital room. From that point to the end of that day, he would sit in the hospital room by himself, waiting for updates on his Mother's condition, as he continued to get a hold of family members to have them come up to say goodbye.
