All month I've been begging my mom to let me go and I even faked a parent signature just in case she changes her mind. I really want to go and even my best friend James is going.I just want to really go. The program starts in 2 days so I am at my very last resort which is to give my mom's room a makeover while she is doing her Saturday errands. I start by putting the new bed set and putting a new carpet. Then I put the new jewelry holder on her desk.Next I start to organize my mom's boxes of junk.(jewelry, photos, makeup, etc) by putting them into Piles. As I am organizing I notice the last box is labeled for William. I decide it's best to finish putting everything else away first so I can look at it later without getting side tracked and not finish. The room looks beyond perfect and I start to look at the box. It was obviously for me so I opened it and it in that very instant my checks grew red and I started to cheer and wonder and then In that second I started to tremble when I saw the checks from Moria Queen for one million dollars for my mother and a birthday gift wrapped and labeled for William from Dad. In the instant I read that label I start to wonder what could this possibly mean. I never knew who my father was,but my mom said he died in boat accident years ago. She said he didn't want responsibility and he broke up with her in college when he found out about me. He died before I could even ask who was my father. Just as I am about to open it my phone starts to ring.
"Hello who is it"I ask.
"This is Mary turner from national city police department and I am calling in regards to your mother who I'm sorry to say was in a car accident"I start to panic and wonder what could have possibly happened.
"Is she going to be ok?"I demand.
"I don't know I am just supposed to call family"
"Do you think you could get a ride?"
"Yeah I think so"
"Ok bye"
I call my best friend James.
"Hello"answers James.
I reply with"you think your parents can give me a ride,because my mom is in the hospital and just got into a car crash".
"Really is she going to be ok?"
"I don't know which is why I need a ride" I angrily answer.
"Well my parents are out shopping for their vacation,but my brother is here. I'll ask him"
I hear nothing for a whole minute as I wait anxiously. Finally I hear James voice again.
"He said yes and he'll be there In five minutes"
I quickly put the box in my room,put on my shoes and grab a jacket. As I start walking towards the door I hear Robert's (Jame's brother)loud mustang approach. I rush out side quickly and said thanks to Robert. Then I hoped in side.When we arrived at the hospital I immediately ask the receptionist where my mom was.She tells me that she's in the emergency room right and that I need to wait in the waiting room.While I sat there thinking the worst Robert and James tried to cheer me up,but I wouldn't budge so they got the memo to leave me alone. As I waited I noticed my mom's co-worker look as anxious as I was right across from me and I'm too worried to think even think twice about it.I start to get angry at my mom for keeping such an important gift from me.I start to question things.Did my father really want nothing to do with me?Why hide the gift?Did my dad really die on a boat?Why did I learn this in such an inopportune time?How can I be so angry and worried at the same time?......and so on.........
"William!" Called out James
"What?"I called.
"You may see her now " said the nurse.
I automatically get up and follow her.I start to cry my mom was in such a bad condition.Her legs were in casts and she had a head wrap.
"Mom?" I called.
"William"
