Bad Vibes

As I lay in bed the night after what I heard from the doctor, all I can hear. Is my brother doing dishes. As I think for everything he has done for me. He and Jenny havent be able to have kids, and so far I am their only adopted one. I feel like a horrible kid. With those thoughts. I head out to the kitchen and sit on the bar stool playing with a flash light.

"Hey Matt, why do you help me so much, when you have so much to do" I ask as I stare at my hands. I hear my brother let out a sigh as he comes over and sits next to me.

"Well, I take care of you cause your my little sister, my little daughter. Its not that I dont have to take care of you, its more of a I want to take care of you," he tilts my head up to meet his eyes, "I know the world seems as though its falling apart. Its not gonna be easy and you have some amazing friends that will be by your side the whole time."

I sniffle as I feel tears falling down my cheeks, "I'm sorry..."

He wipes my eyes with his thumbs as he hugs me tightly to his chest. There is where I feel safe and I cry for all that I did wrong.

Three hours later and I am laying in bed as i start thinking about everything that has been happening lately. How the doctor said I am gonna have to have surgery again, the fact i could end up paralyzed. I hear my phone buzz, but i ignore it as tears start making their weird down my face.  As I start crying i realize I am going into a panic attack. I try to yell for my brother but I couldn't find my voice.  As i struggle to breathe I reach for my phone and dial my brothers number, I hear a "Hello?" 

That is when it all turns black. 

I think I am dreaming, I see white lights and I hear the voices. I see someone crying and then it goes black again.

I slowly open  my eyes to see two heads peering down at me, one is Sky with a tear streaked face, and Leo with fear in his eyes. 

"Katie!" They both say in unison. 

I struggle to sit up as nurses push them away and I realize, I am in the hospital. "What happened, why am i in the hospital?"

As the blonde nurse starts taking my vitals, the redheaded looks at me, "You went into a bad panic attack and stopped breathing." That explains the fear on my best friends faces. I look over at my brother who is making his way towards me. 

"They say they wanna keep you in the hospital till your surgery, I would stay with you but work." He shrugs sadly, once the nurses are done he hugs me lightly. 

Sky and Leo immediately pop up on my other side, "I will stay!" yells the two. 

I giggle as they both start arguing on who will stay, "Girls girls girls" I say in a mocking tone. They both stop and stare at me. "Whoever wins at rock paper scissors gets to stay with me."

They both turn as start doing rock paper scissors and Leo jumps up and down and screeches a quote from his fictional character. I laugh at him as Sky comes over and I hold onto her tightly, she kisses my forehead as everyone but the one lucky star goes home. I look at Leo, knowing this is gonna be a long night.
