In a Heartbeat

Chapter 4

The next morning I'm eating breakfast as Riley and Beth come in...with Carrie? They all give my a hug then back up to talk and I need to tell them something important too. "guys my family is running low on money and I'm not sure if they will be able to pay for my medicine bills", I say. "We would love to help but we came to tell you that we can't visit you for a whole two weeks", says Riley. "Yeah, Riley and I are going on a trip together to New York City so we invited Carrie to tag along", says Beth. "Yay",all the girls scream together well everyone except me. They just so happen to go when I'm stuck in the hospital with nothing to do. "You guys better go", I say because I don't want my friends to see me cry."ok,bye",says Riley All my friends file out of the small but cozy room. Why should I care anyways since I'm also going on vacation to L.A I think to my self. Mom comes in next, she sits on my bed and starts to talk " I have something very important to tell you,your father is joining the air force and with him out of work and far away and with your Stephanie starting college and Abby starting kindergarten, we are very busy and we need to keep this household running, I just came to tell you that, so bye honey",she says before she kisses my head. After a few days of being alone in my room, my nurse comes in "How you feeling today Miss Ashlynn", Nurse Angie asks. "Good I guess", I reply back. "We have good news, since you have been so cooperative and strong through this you are getting a heart transplant and after you recover from that you get to be on The Voice", Angie says. "Really do I really get to go", I ask "Yes you do", she replies with a big smile on her face. I can just imagine myself on the stage presenting myself before the judges to sing my favorite song Break Free by. Ariana Grande. That's all I can think about durning therapy, lunch and when I fall asleep.
