My first love

Chapter 11

I was in a certain room full of doctors with their faces covered in masks. There were also a lot of machines in the room. I then realized that I was in the operation room and got so scared.

"I'm I gonna die?" I asked out loud.

"It's just an operation and we have the most skilled surgeons of all time." On e of the doctors cared to answer while others just minded their businesses.

" Just tell me. Am I gonna die," I said tears running down my cheeks. I was so scared.

"Just hold on, everything will be okay," Another doctor replied since the other one had left.

I kept on asking the same question again and again. I never knew death could be so near.

"This won't hurt," A nurse said as she injected me with some medicine. I think it was a sleeping pill because everything was a blur from the. Now I really thought I was going to die so I started crying.

"Please don't let me die," I said to the nurse holding my hand.

"Everything will just be..." I didn't hear anything else as I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up the next day (or atleast I thought so) and the pain was gone but I couldn't feel my stomach. I moved my hand to it and it was there but I couldn't feel it on me. When I opened my eyes, my mom was there with Mike and Tasha.

"Hey sweetie how was the operation?" My mom asked.

"You mean I really had it?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah. You had it last week but you were sleeping so you didn't even notice them transfer you to another room." She said. I looked around and noticed that I was in a different room.

"I barely noticed anything. All I can remember is I fell asleep and some doctors moving around me in a room then someone injected me and now when I woke up." I said. I could barely move so my mom helped me sit up.

They made jokes and made me laugh at all times. They stayed only for a while but it had started to grow dark outside. Some food was brought to me and when I opened it, it was only some soup and I was only supposed to eat that for three weeks since my stomach couldn't take any solid food yet. After some hours, a nurse came and said that visiting hours are over and that they should leave. My mom tried to plead to be let to stay but they couldn't allow that. She gave me a sleeping pill but I didn't take it. I hid it in my mouth and took it out when she left.

The door opened and someone entered so I pretended to be asleep.

"I know you're not asleep," I heard the person say. I turned around and it was, Jake.

"How did you know that?" I asked.

"I just know you didn't take your pills." He said.

"How do you know that," I asked again.

"Have you forgotten I was in the same position once?" he asked sitting next to me. Yeah right, how could I forget that?

"But I'm not like you." I said.

"Don't pretend to be a good girl, I know how bad those pills are." He said as we both chuckled in agreement.

"So how did it go?" he asked.

"Just like you said, I barely noticed anything." I said.

He moved his hand on my stomach and I felt it tickle a bit but still couldn't feel my stomach in its place.

"How does that feel?" he asked.

"Good. It tickles but I can barely feel my stomach."

" My mom did that to me when I was from the operation too."

" Is she at home now?"

"No. She died two weeks after I was discharged."

"But I thought your parents work together." I asked remembering when I was at his house and asked him of that.

"Yeah, but I meant my step mother." he answered.

"Oh right. I am really sorry though.

  "No. You don't have to be." He said and I noticed a tear at the corner of his eye. I wiped it off and looked at his beautiful face. It doesn't feel right for such beauty to be spoilt with tears.  

"I think I do...It's what friends are for." I said.

"Friends?" he asked surprised.

"Yeah...I figured the least I could do after you saved my life is be your friend."

"I was wondering why you even let me stay considering how much you hated me,"

" I never hate anyone, just that you really provoked me." I said.

"Oh really..." he said and I yawned. " You should probably sleep now." He said.

"Yeah... I should." I said and pulled the cover to my chest.

"Sleep well," he said.

"Thanks." I then fell asleep almost suddenly.
