Remember December

Chapter:37

************* 6 year old Eric************************

I jump awake as I hear a crashing sound from the kitchen. I slide out my bed slowly. I bit my lip as I walk slowly toward my door. I turn the knob slowly as I peer In the hallway. I walk down the dark hallway. I held my ground as I walk down the stairs. I wish I had my minion with me. I took a deep breath as I walk slowly to not fall.

I went down more to see the kitchen light. "mommy?" I ask as she was sprawl out on the floor.

I ran over to her. "Mommy? Mom?" I repeatedly ask.

I felt my heart beating quickly. I place my head on her chest. I felt a weight lift off. As I heard her beating heart. I quickly grab a chair and climb on it. Dad said if anything ever happens to call 911. I look back down at mommy to see blood flowing from her hair. I felt my eye getting moist.

I quickly grab the phone and dial the number that I hope could help mommy. I ran toward the door as I saw the flashing colors. "Please help my mommy!" I yell as I ran back toward the kitchen. I watch as they lift her up and place her on this rolling bed.

I ignore the officers as I held onto my mommy hand. I crawl into the ambulance with mommy. I wipe my tears as I ran my fingers through my mommy hair. I ignore the blood. "it's okay mommy I'm here" I whisper as I watch as the helpers put a mask on mommy.

I quickly jump off the ambulance as they roll mommy inside. I ran quicker as I felt myself getting left behind. I jump as a woman came running toward me. She stops me from running after mommy.

"My mommy needs me" I turn to run past her, but she place a hand on my shoulder.

"You must be Eric" she stated.

I huff as this lady kept blocking me. "Yeah, is my mommy going to wake up soon?"

"I don't know-

I shook my head. "She's strong, she's my queen and I'm her prince, if I'm strong, she's strong too"

The lady smile at me. "Would you like some milk & cookies?"

I shook my head. "I'm not supposed to accept things from strangers"

She chuckles. "It's okay I'm a nurse here, you can trust me, now what's your favorite cookie?"

I nod. "Can I have chocolate chip?"

She smiles. "sure" she held out her hand for me to take.

"what's your name?" I ask her as we walk toward the cafeteria.

"Stacie Phillips" I nod.

I look up at dad to see him asleep on the chair. I move away slowly to make sure he won't wake up. I grab the cookie & card I got for mommy. I walk slowly toward the double doors. I look around to make sure nobody see me. I quickly walk in. I look at the windows to see which room mommy was in. I smile as I found her. She had tubes coming out of her. I frown as I walk in. I walk slowly toward her. All I can hear was the beeping machine and squiggly lines.

"Mommy?" I ask as I reach the bed.

I crawl onto the chair next to her bed. I place my hand on her forehead to check her temperature. Mommy says that how she see if I'm sick or not. I smile as I felt her cool head.

"I brought you your favorite cookie...." There was no response.

I sigh. "plus I made you a card" I place the cookie & the card on the table.

I waited for a few minutes. Nothing. I lean back as I look around the dreary room.

"Mommy what's cancer? Daddy look like he was going to cry when they said that, is it a bad thing?"
