Miracle

Chapter 15: She Won't

Zack's pov:

"Yes, please hurry!!"

I hang up my phone after talking to the 911 dispatcher.

I run over to my baby girl and kick the pills away. I pick up Lizzie into my arms and cry harder than I was before.

Why would she do this?
Why would she want to kill herself?
What is she not telling me?

I carry her outside when I hear the ambulance getting closer. The EMT's take her from me and drive away with lightning speed.

I'm in the back, of course, holding Liz's hand tight as they stick all sorts of needles into her.

I take out my phone and text my mom, telling her I'll be home late. Really late.

We arrive at Emergency and they wheel her in very quickly.

I follow behind them until I'm stuck in the waiting room once again. Then I dial James's phone number, he needs to know.

"Hello?"

"James!"

"Zack? Is that you? What's wrong?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's me. You need to get down to St. Joseph's hospital immediately! It's Lizzie."

"OH MY GOD... Is she okay??!?!"

"I don't know, we just got here. They haven't said anything yet." I sob into the phone.

"Well what happened?! Why is she in the hospital??!!"

"She.. She.. She took some pills.. A lot of them... She was trying to overdose. James, she wanted to kill herself...."

The line goes silent.

"James?"

"I'm on my way. And Zack?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't let my sister die."

"She won't."

I hang up the phone and take a deep breath. I walk up to the front desk and demand Lizzie's condition.

"Elizabeth Kline, how is she?" I ask the lady.

"I'm sorry sir, who are you?"

"I'm Zack Sooy and I need to see Lizzie now!"

"I'm terribly sorry sir, but I can only give out that information to family members."

"Listen here and listen good, I'm in love with that girl in there and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. If she dies on my watch, I'd never be able to forgive myself. So let me in. Let. me. in. now."

The lady looks beyond scared straight, but she nods her head and pushes the button to unlock the doors to Emergency.

I run past them and immediately see Lizzie in a closed off room. I look through the glass, it's a surgical room, and there's doctors all around her. There's a big machine going into her and I'm able to tell right away that they're pumping her stomach. That's good, right? They'll get the pills out and she'll be okay.

I take a seat on the bench outside the room and watch them do everything they can to save her. I eagerly await James's arrival, he'll be even more worried than I am.

What sucks is that I have to keep reassuring myself that she won't die.

Because she won't.
She can't.
Not when I need her the most.

I'm a mess without her.
