Meant To Be

Chapter 8

-Shawn

I jumped out of bed when I heard a loud thump. I looked to my side and Jamal want there. I ran to the bathroom and he wasn't there.

"Jamal!" I yelled cause I felt something bad is happening and I have no control over it.

I ran in the kitchen and seen Jamal on the floor, and he looked like he wasn't breathing.

"WTF Jamal!" I rushed and try to check his pulse, it was there but so faint and going slow.

No! No! No! No! I ran to the room and grabbed the keys and my phone.

I ran back to the kitchen and called 911.

Hello 911 wha-

Help me please my best friend just passed out on the floor send someone.

OK sir I'm sending a ambulance at your current location.

" Hurry please" I said as tears ran down my face.

" I'm doing my best sir, but please tell me is he breathing."

"Yes but barely."

" What about his pulse?"

" It's faint and slow" I said but my voice is breaking and my eyes just keeps getting blurry.

The ambulance is around the corner.

I lifted Jamal up and started to run down stairs with him to make everything faster.

I seen the lights approaching.

They came out and took him from me and checked everything and lifted him up on the stretcher, and brought him in the ambulance. I tried to go but the man stopped me.

"Just let me go with him please" I yelled.

" Sorry sir but your not allowed in." He said.

" Oh my gosh" I screamed

They closed the door and drove off.

I ran upstairs grabbed my keys off the floor and closed the house door and ran to my car.

I got in and sped to the hospital, I know if a police seen me I was getting a ticket but I wouldn't give a damn.

I kept on crying on the way there, cause number 1 I didn't want to lose him and all of this is happening because his mom didn't accept him.

I got to the hospital and ran out the car and to the front desk.

"Hello how can I help you?"

" Yes do you know what room Jamal Smith is in?"

"Hold on give me a second."

She typed awfully slow, and I was getting anxious by the second.

Yes he's in room 509 but the doctors are with him so you can't go in.

I ignored the lady and started to run, all these people kept on looking at me but I really didn't care.

I got to the room and I seen a doctor coming out.

"Is he OK?" I said jumping to the subject.

"Are you family?" The doctor asked

Shit I thought.

" Does boyfriend count?" I asked.

" OK sure, he overdosed and his body couldn't handle all of the pills so it just shut down, we pumped his stomach out so he should be fine, just give him some rest.
