THE DAY I WOKE UP

SURGERY

Here's a refined version of your narrative for smoother flow and emotional depth:

VICTOR: "She... she... she still had my number saved in her phone as 'her idiot.' When they couldn't reach her parents, they called me. I'm at the airport... the plane leaves in 45 minutes. Come as fast as you can. I... I don't even know if... if I'll get to see her again..."

With that, Victor broke down, sobbing on the other end of the line. I just stood there, unable to process anything. My mind went blank. Haley noticed my pale, shocked expression and gently shook my shoulder.

HALEY: "We better go now, Gina. Victor booked the tickets already."

I couldn't collect myself. I couldn't understand anything. I just followed Haley, holding Cassy's hand. Cassy's lips quivered as if she was about to cry. Lisa was her favorite aunt—more cherished even than her actual aunt, Regina.

Inside the car, I sat motionless, my thoughts swirling in chaos. Tears wouldn't come. I wanted to cry, to scream, to break down, but instead, I felt hollow—like a living corpse. Cassy was crying softly in Maria's arms as Maria tried her best to console her. Haley and Kevin were on the phone with the doctor, their voices tense and hurried. Christian focused on driving, speeding through the streets as safely as he could.

And me? I just sat there. My body was frozen, but my mind was sinking into an endless abyss.

"This is my fault," I thought bitterly. "Lisa is lying in a hospital bed, in a coma, because of me. It's always me. Every person I care about gets hurt, one way or another. I destroy everything I touch."

I felt the weight of guilt pressing on my chest, suffocating me. Memories blurred together. I thought about Julian. About the lies I told myself. About Lisa.

"If I had been honest with her, maybe she wouldn't have pushed Victor away. Maybe she wouldn't be in this state. I blamed Julian for everything, but it was me. I was the one who broke her trust. I thought I was protecting her, but all I did was lead her down this path. Julian didn't deserve the way I treated him. He was just trying to protect me, and I threw it all away. Cassy deserved better too. She's only five, yet she's been forced to grow up so fast because of me. I'm a terrible mother. A horrible friend. And an even worse person."

Maria's voice broke through my spiraling thoughts.

 "You okay?"

I nodded stiffly, lying through my teeth.

"You don't look it. Gina, you need to cry. Holding it in isn't healthy. Haley's already gone through an entire tissue box, and we both know Lisa's strong. She'll pull through. You don't have to carry this alone."

"I can't, Maria... I want to cry. I want to scream and let it all out, but the tears just won't come. It's like I'm numb. Completely shattered inside, but nothing's coming out."

Maria squeezed my hand, her silent reassurance louder than any words.

When we reached the airport, Victor was waiting. He tried to put on a brave face, but I could see the cracks. He was broken—barely holding himself together. We boarded the flight in silence. Cassy fell asleep against Maria's shoulder, her small frame trembling every now and then.

Maria glanced at me once more, her eyes soft and full of concern. She didn't say anything this time. She just held my hand, anchoring me as my mind continued its freefall into the darkness.
