Death By Drugs

<Don't worry I have plenty of minutes to live>

  Standing for hours waiting on the bus is torture, but lying down in a bed for two days while not moving because the doctors always say "Oh your gonna break the tube" "Bev careful your pee jar might spill" is WAY worse.

After fainting because of drug overdose, Chloe knew her life wouldn't be the same. Her dad was clearly upset that she had drugs, while momma over there was to busy flirting with the doctor. 'I can clearly see who loves me more' She thought. But she loved both very much, especially on her birthdays.

"Knowing that your gonna die sucks. Right?"
Chloe friend Skyler said, playing with the tubes
connected to Chloe's arm.

"AHHH-HMMM!! I might die now because of you playing with my medication that keeps me ALIVE!" Chloe said slapping Skyler's arm away from her hand.

"Well ouch" Skyler said laughing up a storm when she heard Chloe fart under the sheets.

"What??!"

"Nothing, but your tootsies kind of stink"

Both laugh at the lame joke Skyler said. However, when Chloe took a glimpse outside her room, she can see two doctors, a nurse and both of her parents arguing. She was already feeling down knowing that she's gonna die. But was that time getting near.

  When the doctor walked in with Chloe's dad, Chloe began to wonder 'where is mom'. But somehow that thought became a statement and when she asked her dad just gave her a stare, a cold serious one.

"She...left.." he said turning his face away from Chloe.

"For food? Sleep? Tell me dad." Chloe said pouting.

"No. She left. She left you. She couldn't be here, she wasn't happy being here with me. So we got a divorce."

"Dad it's ok, I'm here for you. No woories"

"I didn't finish... she was the one who payed the doctors to set up this high quality equipment for you, but without that money... Your chance to live... wi-will... Decrease."

Chloe dad started to cry. He was really upset, but he didn't have enough energy to get angry or to punch a wall. He used the rest of his energy to cry; For you. He couldn't do anything. He didn't have the money. Her mom was the one to pay most of the bills, to cook and clean. I guess she couldn't do it no more.

"Will she still visit?" Chloe asked.

"I honestly don't know. But if she does that will be a blessing."

"So the answer to my question is no"

"Only time will tell"

"Ummmm, sir visiting hours are about to close, so I'm afraid you and her friend have to leave" the doctor said.

As Chloe looked to the side of her room, she can see Skyler sleeping in the other "Death" bed on the other side of the room. Chloe smiled when she heard her friend snore. It was to damn cute.

As soon as she turned her head away from Skyler, she can see her dad putting on his coat while the doctor went to go wake her up.

"Dad, promise you'll be here for me?"
Chloe holding her pinkie out towards her dad.

"I'm already here" he laughed as usual dad jokes.

"I'm serious. No matter how sick I get, you'll always be heard for me. I know mom left and stuff, but I still need one parent to talk to and make fun of" Chloe said smiling not letting a tear escape.

"I promise sweetheart. Now I will be hear tomorrow early in the morning to serve you breakfast" he said smiling and giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Now get some rest. Tomorrow we're playing Uno." He giggled

"Okie Dokie" Chloe said yawning.

"Bye dad"

"Bye"

As soon as they left. Chloe started to cry. Knowing that she might die in her sleep was scary. But what made her cry even more is when she forgot to tell her dad she loves him. She instantly regrets doing drugs.
