Chapter 1-

I had to get to Prepton Children's to see Isabella. I took the fastest route over there and ended up getting there before Isabella, who was in the care helocopter, arrived. Kilsy was ten minutes from Prepton.

I put my parking ticket in front of my car on the windshield and immediately rushed in the Children's ICU front desk.

"Is Isabella Johnslee in here?" I asked the nurse.

"Try the trauma center," The young dark haired nurse says. "Which is down the hallway to your right," I nodded my head and thanked her and did a full sprint out and ran down the hallway to the door that said "Prepton Children's Emergency Trauma Center Open 24/7" and opened it to see the front desk like how the ICU was, just in front of everything. I walked up to the front desk.

"Yes?" The clerk said.

"I'm Emalie Johnslee, Isabella Johnslee's older sister and I would like to see her,"

"Can I see your ID?" I handed her my driver's license. Then the dark skin clerk said, "You may see her, please arrive when the door opens and we will greet you there," The automatic door opened and I walked in as the nurse greeted me.

"I'm going to need you to walk through a metal detector," The nurse said. I did and there was a screen that proved a check for no bad metals.

I then had to get tested for illness. Another screen showed a check mark.

"She's in room three," The nurse walked me to her room through the automatic door. My little sister was semi consious, had a neck brace, scars from the glass of the window, and had IVs in.

"Emalie, is that you?" She said.

"It is me," I told her. "Bella, I love you so so much,"

"I know you do, besides, I don't want to die,"

"You gotta do what's best for you, I mean, we're both orphans now, and we need to take care of ourselves if we both go to foster care,"

"I'm sure if we asked nicely Mrs. Greenaland could take us in," Mrs. Greenaland, or who we like to call Mrs. Green was the strictest, but for some reason awesome sixth grade English teacher at Wilson Tree Junior High School, on the same property as the senior high school. She really liked our family and were pleased with us when she had Maya, Isabella, and I as students.

"Yeah, I could see her doing that," We laughed. I felt my stomach grumble for food.

"Hey, Bella," I told her. "Can you eat anything-" I liked calling Isabella Bella, it made it unique.

"that's not solid,"

"That stinks, I'll order some food for myself then," I went out in the hall and used one of the exterior phones to call the hospital's cafeteria. Yes, I had ten dollars on me from my job. I work at Johnslee's Seafood and Pizza at Hills Lake/Park whenever I'm free, it's also was owned by my father so I have flexible hours as long as I get my total for the week. Maya worked here too.

I ordered a healthy sub, some fruit and veggies, a bag of chips and some water. I request it be brought so I didn't have to leave Bella and it came in five minutes.

"I wish I could eat solids," Bella said, "But the nurse will only let me consume liquids,"

"It's alright Bella," I smiled. Prepton Children's had a nice video game system in every room, so I played alot of games while Bella watched as she couldn't move her arms.

The nurse, Latasha, walked in when it was ten til nine o'clock telling me visiting hours are almost over and I couldn't stay with Bella unless I was over eighteen. I said goodbye to her, she and I hugged, and I left the hospital to head home. School would still be in session tomorrow, but I wonder if I could go see Bella and call an absence from school myself?
