Veras eyes begin to close, her breathing slows down. I noticed she's getting even paler. Gripping onto her hands I couldn't help but call my father to call for help. " DAD! CALL THE HOSPITAL SOMETHING?!" My face feels my salty cold tears fall down my face. My dad calls 911 . They rush into veras room taking her away for help. I cried even more.. we sat in the waiting room. Her doctor comes out, before she begins her sentence she sighs. " Okay, Vera's alive.. but not for long we found out her lungs are getting weaker and the treatment isn't working. I'm sorry Mr Carter but the final decision is hospice. I know it hurts to see your youngest like this. My dad cries, I couldn't believe that I saw my dad cry. He holds his hat close to his chest beginning his sentence. " so.. how long will she be in hospice? I'd rather she be at home and spend her last days with us Doctor Hansel. Please" He whines out. The doctor said " if that's what you want that's fine." We left with vera.
Vera smiles holding her bear, I turn around smiling back at vera. She's only 9 I don't know if she'll even make it to see me graduate I think to myself, vera won't even see herself growing up. She only has 2 months with us. Time flies very fast so I'm spending everyday with her. My phone beeps.
Its Nova
Nova 🩷 - hey girl where were u!!? U missed the dance
June- my sister had a attack.
Nova 🩷 - oh.. mb but jonah was waiting for u. I'll let him know
I put my phone down and cry a little. It's so much going on I can't grasp anything.
wow.
I cried in my bed, I want vera to be okay. I fell asleep to the heavy rain pouring on my window; clicking and clacking. my alarm rings I knew it was time to head to school but I wasn't ready to go so either I'd leave early or not go. I decided to go anyways, I gave vera a hug; vera's eyes.. I noticed she looks so lifeless and not the happy little girl I've know. vera coughs before begging her sentence " nanay, I love you!" she smiles. my heart melts because nobody calls me nanay anymore; I look at her and I told her " vi I love you." I left the apartment walking to the station I noticed someone that looked oddly familiar. It was Florence.. Florence rosewood. I turn my head away so she wouldn't noticed me; she did.. Florence calls out " JUJU?" I put my headphones in trying to tune her out but I just couldn't. I got on the bus and made it to school. I sat next to my crush.. Dakota Winslow. I loved looking at his dark brown curls, his tan skin, his blueish greenish eyes , and his scar that sits a little bit above his eyebrow. He turns and looks at me; he begins his sentence "June dude pay attention" he laughs gosh his laugh lights ups room, his raspy laugh. Mr Louis points at me,"June this is your 3rd warning within a week. I'm gonna have you go to the counselor ok?'' I thought to myself.. I don't need a counselor, I need my sister. He handed me the pass I walked down. i didn't feel like going to some dumbass counselor; i knew i was gonna cry so i went to the bathroom, took out my eyebrow razor. i blanked out in the bathroom, everything went black. I heard my name being called "June cartez please report to Mr's sandlers office please." I got up from the bathroom floor and walked down; i just wanted to be with vera honestly. i go to sit in the soft chair Mr's sandler has, "June, whats wrong,dear?" My face has a blank expression, i look at her, rolling my eyes; '' nothing is wrong, im fine jeez." she knew i was lying. " is the way you're acting because of vera? you're grades are decreasing, you barely pay attention. this is not the june i knew since 6th grade. i wish she understood, people change. i responded with "yeah, it is vera captain ovbious".... she looks at me dissapointed. " yeah, uhm june you can go back to class we will talk later. i walked back to class and popped my airpods in, i played paper soilder by Brent faiyaz. i looked at the door before walking upstairs, but heyyy atleast i get to stare at dakota the whole block. I entered pre algbra 1, dakota was there, he turned to look and waved at me! i sat near him "yo ju, what happened?" i respond with " just the usual" he laughs. he passes me a note with his number, "call me ju, i wanna talk to you more." my face gets red. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE he asked meeee! later that day i got on the bus, apparently me and dakota take the same route home, he spots me. "ohhh ju, i didn't know you took this route." i yawn " yeah i do" we sat next to each other, i always already tired so i rest my head on dakota; dakota wraps his hands around my waist. i woke up and we were there, i kissed dakotas hand, and said my goodbyes. i unlock the door and see a agent and my dad there. " june, this is sarah mckinnister, she'll be working with you so you can get better, it appears mr's sandler isnt working out." i knew it. that bitch snitched. i rolled my eyes " yeah yeah whatever, i have homework i need to get done."JUNE ELOISE CARTEZ ROSEWOOD." my dad calls out, i guess everyone doesn't like my attiude huh? '' what dad?" he sighed and left the kitchen.
