The Boy Next Door

Flatline

Waking up, I wiped my eyes and grabbed my phone when I realized the walls in the room surrounding me were not purple, they were blue.
     "Good morning beautiful" Gray said, in a groggy voice. He was so cute, and laying next to me with his big brown eyes and messy hair in a big sweatshirt. He really was my everything.
     "Hey Gray. I can't even remember what we did yesterday I'm so tired."
     "Well, after visiting your mom we went to the diner and ate pancakes, came home, watched some movies, and you fell asleep."
     "Gosh I guess I'm still really tired after my lengthy hospital visit. I must have fell asleep on you." I started laughing.
     "It's okay, you look pretty damn cute when you sleep anyways." My cheeks flared with red color. He made me so happy when things were so rough.
     "Hey love birds, I made you guys some breakfast and thought you could head out to the hospital after to see your mom Danielle. I don't mean to ruin your day, but she isn't doing so well." Lisa stepped in and had tears in her eyes. Not doing so well? Why did she have tears in her eyes?
     "Thank you Lisa, it means a lot. Thanks for everything. I'll be downstairs in a few."
      "Danielle, it's my job to be there for you and take care of you. Your mother was my best friend." She walked out suddenly and Gray turned to me.
     "You okay?" He asked.
     "Yeah just worried about my mom. Your mom didn't seem so good."
      "Well let's hope for the best. It'll be okay Danielle." Gray kissed my forehead.
*Skip to hospital*
Walking in, Gray held my hand tightly making me feel protected.
     "How may I help you?" The lady behind the desk offered. Quickly telling her, I felt like her words were underwater. I was really scared to face the reality of this situation. My mother might not wake up.
     "Fields you said? Come with me." Gray and I looked at each other worried. Usually things don't happen like this during visiting hours...
We walked in to a small room, where I saw the doctor.
    "Danielle, I'm sorry to say this but your mother died last night." My mother-my mother what? What?
Everything went black for a second. Random thoughts racing through my mind. I collapsed on the ground and looked at the wall in a frozen glance. The voices around me were droned out, by the sound of my fast beating heart.
