That's Real Life

Don't leave

Suzy's POV
When we arrived at the hospital they rushed Omma into the emergency room. They told Ming and I to wait in the waiting room. While waiting Ming continued to cry and so did I. I tried to calm him down but he kept crying, so that made me cry more......

*later

We have been sitting in here for a hour and a half. The door suddenly opened revealing a tall man in a white coat.

"Are you Annie's children?" He asked.

"Y-yes!" I say while getting out of my seat and wiping my tears.

"Your Omma needs to stay in the hospital for a while, do you have any relatives that live close by?" He asked.

"Well...... Yes we do. Our Aunt and Uncle stay nearby." I say.

"Okay may I have their number please?" He asked.

"Yes." I say while pulling my phone out to give him the number.

"Thank you." He said and left.

He didn't give me any more information. He left without telling me about Omma. I don't know if she is ok. What happened? What am I supposed to do?

I went back to my seat to calm down a bit.

"Noona, where is Omma?" Ming asked me while holding my hand.

"She's getting help." I say while wiping his tears.

"Will she be ok?" He asked.

"I don't know Ming...... I don't know." I say while a tear rolled down my cheek. Omma was all we had.

*30 minutes later

"Ma'am you can see your Omma now!" A woman came into the room and told me.

"Follow me." She said while guiding us to Omma's room. Ming and I followed quickly behind her.

She opened the door and our Aunt and Uncle were already there. I looked at them with a confused face. Then I look at Omma on the bed. She was sleeping peacefully. But she looked very sick.

"Darling you and Ming have to live with us for a while." Auntie said while giving a smile.

"How long?" I ask.

"I don't know." She said while looking at Omma lying on the bed.

"I'll explain everything later." She said while hugging me.

Ming walked over to Omma and held her hand. I don't how I am going to get through this let along help Ming through it too.

This year has been great so far .......not.

I went to sit down in a chair in the corner of the room. I pulled my phone out and had 5 text.

Suzy where are you?
Are you ok?
Please answer!!
I'm worried!
SUZYYYYYY!!

I respond with:

Hey Ji I'm at the hospital.

She responded almost instantly.

Ji- OMG What happened I'm on my way.

Suzy- Not me, it's Omma.

Ji- I'm still coming I'll be there as fast as I can.

I'm glad to have a friend like Ji. I just sat there staring at Omma. What happened? How long has she been like that (unconscious)? So many questions ran through my head.
