Warrior

{Chapter Six} Beep. Beep. Beep.

I moved my head side to side as my eyes started to open slowly, my surrounding looking blurry. "Winter, honey you're awake." My dad came toward me and squeezed my hand while Summer smiled shortly at me. "How are you feeling?"

"Like crap." Was my grumpy reply as I pushed myself up to sit straight on the hospital bed. "When can I go home?" I asked bored, this scene already too familiar to me. I've been in the hospital since I was born, and let me tell you this, it isn't pretty. All the wires and machines connected to you, I shook my head traumatized; I don't even want to remember it.

"I don't know, you just woke up, maybe they need to run some tests before they let you go." My dad raised my hand up and kissed my knuckles, his fingers brushing my hair away from my face. "We'll find a heart, we just have to be patient."

I shook my head at my dad and pressed my eyes closed as a teardrop slipped from my eye. "Why can't I just die? This is just too much for me, I can't keep coming here over and over again dad, what if one of these days I won't be so lucky as I've been for years?" I cupped my mouth before my sobs could filled the room and he pulled me into a hug, his hands running up and down my back as he muttered soothing things into my ear.

"Don't say that, you're strong, much stronger than you think. You're a warrior. I won't allow one of my children to give up on life like that. Killers don't give up, we fight until our last breath." I hugged my dad back much tighter and pressed my cheek against his chest as I sobbed quietly.

"Don't cry sister, you'll pass through this like you did all those times. I know that you will." Summer joined the hug and I was grateful for having these two in my life, making me fight for my life with everything I have.

We pulled away at the door being knocked and turned our gaze toward the opening door. "Good afternoon, how is my favorite patient doing?" Leah, my doctor said as she sneaked her head inside before stepping into the room.

"How do you think I'm doing?" I rudely said and my father turned to look at me before looking back at Leah. "Sorry, I'm feeling much better." I muttered and turned to look the other way, my fingers playing with each other.

"There's nothing new, nothing has change. She needs to take more care of that heart, if not she won't be lucky next time." Oh yeah, they said the same thing last week and the weeks after that and the other week after those weeks and the week after those weeks and months after those weeks and years after those months and surprise! I'm still here, noting the sarcasm?

"Don't worry Leah, I'll take more care of the heart I took good care of last week." I said mockingly and didn't hide the fact that I was tired of being threaten like I was stupid. No matter how good care I take of my heart it will still stop beating anyways, so why try? I better live my life to the fullest don't you think?

My dad went to open his mouth but Leah stepped in. "Don't, she has the right to be angry, we need to understand her pain. It's not easy." My dad sighed loudly and ran a hand roughly through his hair.

"Can I go home now?" I interrupted them rudely but I didn't care, this place was making me feel worse. "I feel suffocating in here."

Leah nodded her head and turned to look at my father. "I'll arrange her papers and put everything ready so you can sign, I'll be right back." Leah hooked the clipboard under her arm and walked out of my room.

"We get that you're tired of being in the hospital but you don't have to be rude, where is the Winter I know? Always optimistic and with a smile on her face?" My father scolded me and I looked down at my hands, my lips forming into a pout as I thought about my behavior, I wasn't like that but this disease has been taking a toll on me lately.
