Melanie

Fourteen

Mom was taken to the hospital... Mom was involved in an accident that appeared to be this severe. I had no control over it, therefore I had to come to the hospital after asking Vivian for a ride. I didn't want to bother Vivian with this, but it was an emergency. Vivian was in the car with me as we drove to the hospital. I was terrified that I wouldn't make it on time. The hospital was around twenty minutes away and was outside of town.

My hands began to shake violently, but Vivian grabbed my hand and assured me that everything would be fine. I was terrified of losing my mother. In my life, I needed her. When we got to the hospital, I jumped out of the car and rushed as fast as I could inside. As I yelled, I questioned the nurses. When they inquired what her name was, I informed them. They told me I had to wait till Mom's surgery finished. My heart was racing and I was petrified.

Vivian pursued me because I was running too quickly. I had no idea what had happened to Mom. She was fine the day before, and I needed to know the facts right away. I needed to see her, but they wouldn't let me in since she was in the middle of something. The operation may take some time until it is confirmed that she was alive. As Vivian tried to console me, I had many mental breakdowns. My legs were trembling at this rate. I couldn't keep it under control.

It was four o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night. Vivian was discussing the situation with Jake. I waited till after midnight for hours and hours. I didn't have the chance to get some sleep. I was up all night long.

Suddenly, the doctor approached, expecting that they would inquire about Nathanson's family. "I'm looking for Nathanson's family," the doctor said. I lifted my hand to summon the doctor. The doctor gazed at me, tired after working an overnight shift. I went up to the doctor. Because I required the information, my entire body was rushing to conclusions. I sighed and stayed silent. I should not have panicked out in the presence of the doctor.

"I am the Nathanson family's son, and I need to know what happened to my mother," I was anxious. With a stern expression, the doctor shook his head.

"Your mom is out of operation, I suspected that she was drugged by someone when she got so dizzy after going through the streets. A vehicle knocked her down, and it was a hit-and-run," he continued.

"Was she drugged? She was on a date with a guy," I said.

"We won't know who it was until your mother wakes up. She could suffer temporary memory loss," he concluded with a shrug. I avoided making eye contact with the doctor by looking at the floor. I asked to see her, and he let me in to see her mother. I'd never been so terrified to see my mother in a coma. She most likely had no recall of what had occurred.

I was in the infirmary, staring at Mom. Because she claimed to be in agony, it made me want to cry. She was sleeping, but not peacefully. I was standing there looking at her, and it absolutely wounded my heart, yet I wanted to grasp her hands. She might not be awake since she was in a coma. I assured her that I would always be there for her. I gripped it with her delicate hands. She may be unconscious after an accident and not be conscious of what occurred.

However, while I was with my mom at six a.m., I heard someone shout my name. Melanie was standing there looking distraught as I turned my head around. "Hey, I heard what happened, and I'm so sorry about your mother," she responded.

She moved closer to me and kissed me on the cheeks. She informed me that Jake was not with her; he was still at home, asleep. My eyes welled up with tears as she assisted me in wiping them away. Melanie held my hand and talked with me. She laid her head down over my shoulder as I gazed at her, which made me grin slightly but not completely. Melanie wished to be there for me as she had promised.

Meanwhile, I was napping at home. I emailed Melanie to ask if she wanted to go out with me, but she said she was too busy with wedding preparations with her mother right now. I decided to text Jake till he answered to check if he was home. He'd like me to come over, but he's too busy playing video games right now.

As he unlocked the door for me, I hurried over to his house. Jonah was never at home when he was working. I did not wish to bother Jake, so I left a note for him. I had a lot of ideas regarding the Kylie Diary that made me want to read it or think I should take it.

I decided to go to Melanie's room on the third floor of the home. I went in nonetheless because the door wasn't locked. I had to turn on the lights since the room was dark. I screwed up. I was looking for the Kylie Diary while trying to recall where it was. I saw the same book color in the trash. Why would Melanie want to toss her journal in the garbage can? Perhaps she had had enough of reading this?

I grabbed it with my own hands right away. I was scared to read, so when I heard Jake screaming my name, I became agitated and hurried it up. I was in a hurry until I put the diary in my backpack. I zipped it up and exited the room. I didn't want Melanie to catch wind of it.

I walked into Jake's room and he smelled like filth. I could smell weed and liquor in him. He had to stop this immediately. "Not again, Jake," I murmured. He cocked his head, looked at me, and laughed out loud. I sighed because I wanted to grab all of these drugs and dispose of them. It wasn't good for him. I had to keep repeating myself all the time.

Following my fissile with Jake, he was constantly wailing at me that he wanted me to try, but I refused. I didn't want to go through that trauma again. When I was under the influence, I was literally the darkest and most demonic part of myself, therefore I had the right to refuse.

I asked if he wouldn't mind playing video games with him while he was high. He was OK with that, so he handed me the second controller to play with. He was playing GTA, which he was very deeply invested in. He calmed down when I played with him.

The state football playoffs had begun, and my team and I had clinched the number one seed, which stunned us. We exerted so much effort to earn the championship that we had always craved. We started playing in the second round since we had a bye in the first. The opposing team was quite defensive, but we were able to overcome them. Melanie was there to support me and Jake. Melanie and I were acting like we were "just friends" at the time.
