Chapter 5

It is now Saturday and all I have to say is thank goodness it's finally the weekend. This week has been so crazy.

Hayes's parents are still fighting like crazy.

My mom has her first surgery to remove the cancer today and will be in the hospital all this weekend and until she looks well enough to leave.

I got out of bed and went and took a shower before slipping on skinny jeans,brown combat boots, and a thin over sized sweater. For the middle of September the weather was fairly cold.

I curled my hair and did some light makeup before heading downstairs.

My whole family was downstairs finishing up their breakfast. Everyone was silent because we all were worried for today's events.

When we finished eating my parents and Matt left to head to the hospital. I was taking Blakely to stay at my grandparents so I went in my car.

I quickly dropped off Blakely and headed straight there.

I walked in and joined my family in the waiting room. They had just taken my mother back into surgery. They say it could take up to eight hours which is going to worry me sick waiting that long to know if my mother is ok.

As I sit there thoughts swarm my mind. What if my mother isn't ok. What if it's worse than they thought. I could lose my mother.

Ever since I was little I've had a close relationship with my mother,closer than any of my other siblings. She is my best friend, my person to talk to when things go wrong. She is so so spunky and full of hope all the time but lately she's began to get gloomy making the rest of us sink into that gloom also.

Hot Tears began to roll down my cheeks. I grabbed my phone and headed out of the hospital and to my car. I drove to the only place  I could think of going, my spot.

I parked on the side of the road not to far from Hayes's house and walked back to the spot. I walked to a old dock out in and water and sat at the end taking my shoes off so I could feel the water on my toes.

I turned my phone off and just enjoyed the peace out here.

As I sat there I just cried. Tears ran down my face and dropped into the water making a slight sound with every tear that fell.

Soon I hear two voices coming closer. I turn to find the last thing I ever wanted to see. Hayes and some other girl walking into our spot. The spot I asked him not to show anyone; the spot he promised to keep a secret.

He looked over to me and turned whit as ghost. I guess he didn't expect me to be here. He said something to the girl and they turned and walked back out of the woods.

He saw my hurt and didn't even care.

How could he lie to me like this. I was there for him when nobody else was he told me all these things but I guess they were never true. He told me I was beautiful and loved but how can I trust that anymore.

For once in my life I feel so broken. I feel as if someone took a knife straight to my heart. Everything in my life seems to be falling apart and If I lose my mother I'll lose everything.

The tears began to fall faster and harder. I felt as if I cried any longer the lake was going to overflow.

Then I thought of my mother once more.

I turned my phone back on to check the time and see if I had any messages from my family. It was now 11:30. I had two text from my dad saying my mom was out of surgery and that my brother was getting us food whenever I was ready to come back.

I gathered my things and headed to my car. I buckled up and began driving. As I drove by Hayes's house my heart broke a little more as I saw the girl getting in her car to leave.

My phone began ringing and I looked down to see Hayes's face on my phone. I choked back the tears that started to blur my eyes and I pressed ignore. In the midst of the 30 minute drive he called 15 times and sent me 79 text messages. Of course I ignored them all.

Soon I pulled up to the hospital and walked in to the front desk.

"Im here for my mother Laura Espinosa" I said

"Room 116 on the ICU floor sweetie"

I whispered a simple thank you before going to the elevator and heading to my moms room.

When I arrived to her room none of my family was present. I guessed they all had went to get something to eat or go home and rest. I walk into the room and the sight of my mother instantly brings me to tears.

She lies in the hospital bed unconscious and plugged up to what seemed to be a million machines. He heart monitor would beep slowly and then fast as her unsteady heart kept fighting to beat.

"Hello you must be Kendall" the doctor said walking in the door

"Yes sir. How is she?" I asked

"Well she's stable but her heart is struggling to keep up with her body. As of now she's clearly unconscious. She could make it but then again she may not."

I just sat by my mothers side in silence as the words of the doctor set into my brain as he walked out the door left leaving me once again alone. Well not completely alone.

I climbed in the bed beside my mother laying my head on her chest. The sound of her heart beat slowly put me to sleep.
