Chapter 2
I wake up startled. I try to open my eyes but they feel as if they are weighted down. I automatically connect a weird beeping sound to my alarm clock. Why did I ever buy that stupid thing? I try to reach blindly over there but I can’t move my arms, actually, it’s more like I can’t feel them… at all. What the heck?
“I think she’s coming around,” says a feminine voice. “I’ll go get the doctor; you just try and talk to her. Try to keep her calm,” says that soft voice. I start to hear a ringing in my ears as the beeping starts to get faster. My heart thuds uncontrollably and I gasp for air. What happened? Why is there a need for a doctor? Where am I? Why can’t I move? Questions after question trip over themselves as I think of them. All the while, it feels like my heart might just jump out of my chest any second now.
“Marcella, you need to calm down,” says a familiar voice. Where have I heard that voice from? It takes a few seconds but it clicked; mom. “Can you hear me Marcella? You need to calm down or else you’re going to hurt yourself,” my mom pleads from beside me. I calm my heart down the best way I could; I thought of Tyler. I love him so much; I wonder why he isn’t here with me. If I’m injured he should be right next to me? What happened? Where is he? As soon as my heart calms, it goes right back up to the beat of a humming bird.
“Marcella, if you can hear me open up your eyes sweetie,” says a masculine voice. I would recognize that voice anywhere. Dad is here! Wait, why is my dad here? Mom and he got a divorce after Mikey was born. As far as I know, they’ve never been in the same room together since then! Why now? How badly am I hurt?
I try to open up my eyes but I just can’t! It feels as if they have become crazy glued shut. I try to move my lips but they were glued shut too. I gasp as my breaths are harder to come by. “What’s happening?” mom asks in a frantic voice.
Something happened to me, something bad. “Ella, awe you hewe?” asks a little voice. Mikey, why is my little brother here? Shouldn’t he be with grandma or at daycare?
“Everyone out!” says a commanding voice. “Nurses,” that masculine voice says loudly. I try to get more oxygen into my lungs, but I just can’t manage it! My lungs feel like they’re about to shrivel up and die while my heart feels like it’s about to burst like a balloon any second now!
“Bye Ella,” said Mikey. His voice sounds so sad it shatters my heart, but I can’t do anything about it. What’s really wrong with me? I really can’t care less anymore; I’m just too tired. Why should I care anyways? My eyes grew heavier and fell back into a deep sleep as sounds of frantic voices fill the room.
I open my eyes to a great brightness. I looked around and all I can see was white. The ground beneath my feet reminded me of silk. It tickled my pale, shoeless feet as I walk along humming. I look down to see that I was wearing a simple white dress that goes down to my knees. I laugh joyfully as I twirl around in circles; my dress flaring out around me as I stick my hands in the air. I feel my curly hair fly out around me as I continue to twirl around weightlessly. I haven’t felt this good since… well, since forever! I laugh harder as I fall down on the surprisingly soft ground. I wave my hands next to me, noticing how there’s a fog. I giggle as a few wisps disappear at the touch of my fingers.
“Hey Marcella,” says a voice I can never forget; Tyler. I turn my body completely around to see him standing there. He has on a pair of pure white pajamas. His wild black hair comb out and he looks as if he’s about to head off to a date with me. The only thing that is weird is his beautiful brown eyes; they look troubled.
