we sat in the cafeteria for a while.  i had something small while the rest ate whole meals.  because i was going into surgery soon i didnt  have a big appitiete.  i was to scared.

"hey laur why dont you eat a bit more?" lisa offered me an apple.

"no thanks" i reply starring down.

"whats wrong?" christina asks.

"im scared" i look up at her.

"why? the doctors are trained, they will fix you up." katherine says

shes right.  they are trained.  "whens mom, dad and the boys getting back?"  i want them back.

"probably late tonight" amy tells me.

i nod.  i wish they'd get here sooner.  i lay my head on the table and close my eyes.  my stomach hurts.

"we should probably go back to the room" christina stands up.  after cleaning our spot we head back to my room.  i lay in the bed with dani, lisa and kath sit on the double couch and christina and amy sit in chairs.  

lisa picks up the remote and finds a channel she likes.  everyone is focused on the tv.  except me and dani.  we talk in a wisper.  we talked about normal stuff, but she had to ask the question ive been dreading.

"who hurt you?"

i dont answer her.  my head turns to the tv.  

"lauren please just tell me"  she pleades.

i still ignor her

"come on!" she gets a little louder.  

"shhhhhh!" our sisters shushed us

i shake my head no.  i cant tell anyone.

*30 minutes later*

there was a knock at the door. it was the doctor.

"we are ready for you lauren" he politely says.

i frown.  i dont want to be cut open.  its scarey.

i sit up on the bed and he wheels a wheel chair over.

"i can walk" i tell him.

"i know, but we have to bring you one" he helps me into it.

"we'll be waiting for you lauren" amy tells me. 

"you'll be alright" christina reasures me.

i give her a weak smile before im taken out of the room.
