Testing the limits

chapter 11

                   life or death

               So Hayes lay there dying. Ashlynn lay there in a comma. And we brought Christy in who now has a concussion. My mom drove us the hospital and we are visiting each person. One by one. Hayes is awake but is in pain. He needs a heart but nobody as donated yet. Things never turn out right. Chuck was sitting with Christy and Angie and I were hugging in the waiting room. We were waiting to hear good news. That might never come I thought. I kissed Angie and walked over to Hayes' s room. Is he sleeping I asked the nurse. Yes, she replied nicely, We need him to rest so we don't over throw his heart. Ok I said softly. She walked away and stood at the foot of the bed. Sweet dreams I said. And  walked out. I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and was visiting Ashlynn. When the nurse came in and caught view of my Arm. Young man, she stammered, are do you cut yourself. No I yelled as I ran out of the room around a corner out of sight until I reached the waiting room. I grabbed my jacket and threw it on me. We all left to go back to my house after. We went to Angie' s house to go swimming. Christy just sat there on the porch because doing a crossword puzzle. She couldn't wrap her feelings around what happened and what happening. I felt bad but I tried to money mind somewhere else. We played Marco polo. But with three people. It was pretty boring. We needed up Just riding our bikes to the movies. Chuck stayed with Christy at my house. They watched  a movie there and ended up falling asleep. When we got home they were cuddled up and the movie was stop  playing. I shut the tv off and covered them up. Rufus was sleeping on his bed. I had almost forgotten about the little guy in every thing. I took him to my room and Angie and I sat in bed while Rufus covered our legs. We laughed and I turned out the light. We kissed and then went to sleep. I woke up at around 10 and went down stairs. Christy and Chuck were still sleeping. I crept into the kitchen and started making breakfast. Pancakes,bacon,waffles,sausage. When everybody woke up I had every thing panned out in the table and we ate. It was good. Maybe the best I've ever cooked. We talked for a couple minutes and finished up our food. We went back to Angie' s house and watched tv. It started to rain. Then down pour. Then thunder and lightning. There want much on tv. Not that we had much signal anyway. Chuck was playing on his kindle, Angie on her iPod,Christy on her phone, and I was on my tablet. We were an awkward bunch. The hospital called my mom who then rushed over to see me. We heard a knock on the door and Angie answered it. My mom was standing outside all teary-eyed and upset. I froze and a tear rolled down my cheek. Your father she squealed. He passed last night. She said. I fell to the floor. Angie rubbed my shoulders and I got up to sit on the couch. She hugged me and sat next to me. It was just so frustrating. I was upset. I went upstairs and sat on Angie' s bed. I eventually fell asleep. Everybody else came up afterward to check on me. Make sure I didn't do anything rational. I was fine. Just upset. And tired. And hungry. I ate an Apple, I got some sleep. But im still upset. Christy' s sister was out of The hospital and Chuck and Christy had to get back on a flight to new York. I kissed Christy on the cheek and told her to call as soon as she lands. My mom drove them to the Airport. It was just Angie and me know. All alone. It was ok though. I loved her. She loved me. Simple.
