"Well, I seem to have forgotten. Maybe you should stay home with me to make sure I'm not sick. What if I have a fever?"

Nobody lives forever.

Holly reminded herself of that every day in nursing school. She was taught to let the patient and his family mourn and to be their stronghold through everything. It didn't matter what you saw, you were to always remain strictly professional, showing that not even the most gut-wrenching terrible deaths could phase you.

Something about hearing the heart monitor give its last sound for the first time makes a person go mentally insane. Holly still remembered her first death. It was a thirty-one-year-old female who had been in a car accident after driving home with her boyfriend who was under the influence of drugs. She was a teacher. A teacher with beautiful dark skin and black ringlet curls that sat perfectly on top of her head.

Her entire body was in extreme distress after getting caught under the burning vehicle. The doctors knew she didn't have much time left, yet Holly never kept that in mind. To her, this was just another woman who would leave the hospital in two weeks tops, returning to her life teaching second graders math and spending her weekends with her boyfriend in the city.

She remembered every moment from that day as if it had just happened moments ago. Watching as the woman struggled for air under her collapsed lung, Holly called for a doctor, going over procedures mentally as she went through everything she needed to on the woman. She performed CPR before entering a chest tube, praying that the beeping from the heart monitor would calm down in a room full of people who were crying over their loved one who was struggling to grasp air.

She remembered how scared she was, and how as soon as the heart monitor let out the sound of a flat line, she felt her entire body freeze. She knew at that moment that the person in front of her was no longer alive. She was staring blankly at the body of a woman who had just died. A woman who had just died on her watch.
