Running to the gurney , I saw my mother laying there, she wasn't breathing.
" Mom, please wake up , wake up" I tried to shake her, the officer pulled me away.
"Mom!" tears rushed down my checks as I dropped to the floor.
Is she dead?
Watching as they lifted her into the ambulance, two hands came to my shoulder, lifting me up.
" It's going to be ok" Devon spoked in my ear softly.
Wanting to chase after the ambulance, I laid my head on his shoulder.
" Come on, let's go "
Feeling dizzy as I walked to the car, I held on to the door handle, taking 3 deep breathes to calm myself, I got in.
The drive to the hospital, felt heart wrecking.
What if I get there and it's too late?
Thoughts filled my mind.
Pulling up to the hospital, Devon parked in front of the emergency room.
We both got out
" Sir you can't park there" said a doctor.
We ignored and rushed into the emergency room.
Not able to speak clearly from all the crying I sat down.
" What's her name?" Devon asked me handing me tissues.
Cleaning my face, I replied.
" Tony- ton- Tonya.. " I said gasping between every word.
I watched as Devon walked to get information.
" May I help you sir?" A old lady dressed as a nurse asked.
" I'm here to see a patient who just came in a ambulance" Devon stated.
"First name?"
" Tonya "
" You can't see here right now, she's getting checked "
" Ok , how long does that usually take?"
" About an hour or so , they have to run tests''
" Ok " Devon walked back to me. " They're testing her" he sat down.
" This is all my fault" I said while grabbing my hair.
" No it's not" he implied.
" Yes it is , if I would have just stayed and not gone to the stupid party, or even just forgiving her we wouldn't be in this predicament" I stood up.
Devon's phone rung.
He ignored it.
" You can go, I'll be fine" I said.
Staying seated he looked at me.
" I'm not leaving you here at a time like this, come sit down."
I started to get angry.
" You know, you don't have to act like you care, I know you have better things to do"
Devon looked at me confused.
" Nah, I don't, just come an sit down"
No one ever stayed around when I needed it the most. I never even asked for help. seeing that he played as he cared got me upset, only a matter of time before he actually doesn't.
" You must have had it hard huh? " Devon asked.
I looked at him angrily.
" What the hell is that supposed to mean"
