What to Do

October 3rd 2016

I wake up early from a call, I look who it is from. It's Chloe why is she calling me at 3 in the morning?

"Hello?" I barely say.

"Victoria? It's Laura, she isn't doing well at all I’m worried and don't know what to do." Chloe tells me sounding scared.

"Wait, what? What is happening?" I ask suddenly wide awake. I almost yelled it.

Chloe answers but I can't hear over Raven yelling at me. "What the hell Victoria? Shut up! It's 3 in the morning!"

"Shut up Raven! Repeat what you said. What's going on with Laura?" I say back into the phone. 

"I don't know, she is coughing up blood and is really weak, it just happened over like an hour. I woke up to her coughing and went to see if she was okay. What do I do?" Chloe asks me.

"Call 911!" I yell at her.

"Okay." She says back.

"Now!" I say then hang up so she can call.

What if they can't do anything? What if she really is going to die? This can't be happening!

Raven walks into my half of the room. "Who were you talking to? What's going on, why do they need to call 911?" She asks.

I tell her and she stays on my side of the room for the rest of the morning until I have to start to get really for my early class today. I know I won't be paying attention during class, I will be to busy thinking if Laura is going to be alright.

I make sure I don't get to the classroom until a minute before the bell so I won't have to sit with anyone.

Just as I thought I don't pay attention, no matter how hard I try I just can't.

At the end of class as soon as the bell rang I shot up out of my seat to leave but then Mr. Scotts calls my name. "Victoria could you stay for a few minutes please?" He asks.

I nod although I really just want to leave and call Chloe to get an update of what's happening.

As Mia walks past me she just smiles then leaves the classroom.

Once everyone leaves I walk up beside Mr. Scotts. "I don't know why you want to talk to me but I have to go, could we maybe talk later?" Did I really just say that to a teacher?

"No, we need to talk now it's about your marks and behavior." He says.

"My behavior? But I haven't been a distraction to anyone or done anything wrong." I say.

"You haven’t been paying attention very often, you seem really distracted. You have been like this for about a month now, it's killing your marks. Is everything alright?" He asks me.

Is everything okay? No, one of my best friends is dying, in the hospital right now, maybe already dead, and I'm stuck in here!

"Everything is fine."

"You sure? All your other teachers have been saying the same thing. Even some of your friends have came and talked to some of your teachers about it." He tells me.

"I sure." I say smiling to make sure I convince him.

He gives me a questionable look, sighs and then says, "Alright, you may leave now." He tells me, and then I quickly leave to go to my room.

I call Chloe on my way there but she doesn't answer. Maybe it's on silent so she didn't feel it. 

I watch TV calling Chloe every now and again, but every time she doesn't answer. Why couldn't my birthday wish just have came true, and her be back to herself instead of dying?

As I was about to go to sleep, I get a phone call from Chloe. Finally!

"Chloe what's going on? I've been trying to call you all day! Why did you answer?" I say answering.

"She was busy taking care of me." I hear Lauras' voice say. She even sounds weak.

"Laura? Are you okay?" I ask. Right as I say that Raven comes into my room to hear if she is fine.

"I'm fine, they did tests for some reason although it's probably because of me dying." She says to me.

"No. If it was because of that then they wouldn't have done the test and said they can't help you. Did you get them back yet?" I ask her.

"I get them tomorrow." She tells me.

"Call me and let me know the results when you get them." I tell her. 

We talk for just a bit longer, and then I go to sleep.
