Chapter 11: Its Over

*Belle*

A couple minutes after Dr Jem called me, Tabby came and picked me up from my house and we go to the hospital.
Along the way, all I thought of was my reaction to whatever the doctor was going to say. I pretty much have a good idea, as you probably do too, but you never really know until you actually get there.
Thinking something and actually doing something are too different things.
We pull into a parking space and Tabby looks at me.
"Belle, you look like you're about to vomit and you haven't even heard the news." She tries to joke. I just stare ahead.
"Belle, relax for now. The news is probably not that bad." She hold my hand, "and if it is I'll be with you every step of the way." She leans on my shoulder and I lean on her head.
Tabitha Greene you are too good to me.
We get out the car and make our way to the entrance of the hospital. We see Dr Jem waiting for us.
He wears, for once, a serious expression. "Girls, this way please."
We follow him to his office and take a seat.
Once we are all settled, I say, "Doctor please don't beat around the bush. Tell us what's going on."
He closes his eyes.
He breathes.
He rubs his forehead.
Tabby leans back in her chair and I'm starting to lose interest in this whole thing.
"She's awake." He says looking at me.
It felt like someone punched me in the stomach.
"She what?" I breathed.
"Belle," Tabby says.
"I'm sorry. I know I said unfortunate but I had to get you down here fast." He says.
I don't want to be here anymore I want to see my mom.
"When did this happen?" Tabby asks.
"About an hour before I called." Dr Jem answers.
"Can I see her?" I ask.
"Yes."
He stands up and takes us to her room.
All the color has been drained from her body. Her skin is thin and her face is droopy. A tear falls on my hand. I feel like my soul just left my body. I go over to her and kiss her head.
She looks at me. And smiles a week smile.
"Mi querida madre te quiero."
My dearest mother I love you.
"¿Me culpas mi amor? lo siento mucho."
Do you blame me my love? I am so sorry.
"Oh no momma, no I love you." I whisper.
Dr Jem looks as though he is about to cry, Tabby has tears in her eyes.
Her arm shakes as she cups my face.
I take her hand in mine.
I am so happy. So happy I didn't lose the one good thing in my life. I think mothing can ruin this moment.
And then. It dies.
First, her eyes roll back.
Second, she starts to seize.
Then tons and tons of blood, from her mouth.
First red then black. Black blood.
All. Over.
I hear yelling, someone barking orders and I being yanked away from my mom.
Nurses rush past me.
More screaming this time from me. As I watch, I see, her line go flat.
Clear!
Clear!
Silence.
Everyone stands still. Then doctor Jem slams his fist on the window ledge.
The world spins. The world goes silent. The world gets blurry. The world goes black.
Its Over.
