"Who the hell was that dude? What'd he want? What did he give you?" he questioned.
He was good at these kind of things, considering the fact that he worked as a Federal Investigator.
"He was just asking me a question Dad, geez, calm down."
I finally drive off into the oneway street, heading towards our loft. It got kind of boring living alone with my dad ever since my mother got in a fatal car crash six years ago. I was at the same red light I was at when I received the worst news of my life. Every time I drive towards the apartment, my mind goes right back to that horrible moment. It was me that
got the call from a doctor, because my dad was at work.
"Your mother is in the hospital, she's been in a rough car accident and is suffering from severe internal bleeding. We suppose she won't make it through the night, so we personally suggest your family says goodbye."
I stayed quiet, my eyes getting filled with a pool of tears.
"Hello?" he said "are you there ma'am?"
"Yes... I'm here. I'll be right there."
I was in shock. My mom was the sweetest person you could've ever met. I didn't expect anything to happen to her. I walked in there, and it didn't look like her. Her eyes closed, while she was intubated, and on life support.
'I must be in the wrong room' I thought to myself.
I checked the patient chart on the corner of a table. "Samantha Brooks" on the top left margin of the paper. It was the right person after all.
I held her hand and she had a very weak grip on mine, I put a rosary in her other fist. I sat there until I felt her hand loosen from mine, and watched her take a final breath. Not long after, I hear the machines beeping. My heart
sank. The beeping became a quiet distant ringing in my head. I'll never forget it. I see doctors walk in, turn the machine off, and unfold a bright white sheet. I knew it was time to leave. I asked if I can give her one last goodbye. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and whispered,"I love you so much, Mom. This should be me in this bed. I'm so sorry."
