These Unique Moments

3. Mom

Phew! One Monday, finished! Now I'll only survive the rest of the week's hell, I thought to myself.

I heard the teacher say goodbye and I took my books and iphone and walked towards the door in the classroom. I hear how those other students talking about going to the mall or go home to someone but I never get asked to come along so why should I care?

I come out in the hallway and pressed tightly my books to my chest to easily come by. I pull up the keys and press the little grey key in lock and turned it. The soft scent of my perfume wafts out of the locker. I took my things and walked out with Emily. We were going to her place today. As we walked into her room my cell phone started ringing and I answered.

"Hi it's Ofelia"

"Hi, my name is Claus, I'm a cop"

"Oh ..." My first trough was 'what have i done now?'

"I have your mom here. She is in the hospital and we would appreciate that you were able to come here"

"Yes, I will directly" my heart pounded so hard in the chest that it hurt.

"I'm sorry but I have to hospital Emily" I said and pulled at me my stuff and got me up.

"Why?" she asked quickly

"Mom," I said, and rushed out of the hall. "I text you"

When I get down and out of the apartment house I ran across the street and past the school. The hospital is located just two blocks away and I will do anything to run. I didn't have time to worry about what had happened either.

I ran over the street and down the road all the way over to the hospital. I saw a man talking to a nurse and when he saw me he waved me over to him.

"Are you Ofelia?"

"Yes"

"Well we have your mom inside. She passed out during an job interview and they have taking blood sample. Do you have any other family members in town?"

"No sir, my brother is in Australia and dad is solider"

"Oh okay. well, we should go inside"

"Right" me and the cop walked into the building and i followed him up some stairs and into a room all the way down a corridor.

"Your mom is in here" he said and opened a door "you can wait here with her until we get answers"

I walked into the room and saw mom sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. I walked over to her and sat down in the chair next to her.

"Hey" i said.

"Hey"

"How you doing?" I asked

"Well, i feel little dizzy"

"Oh, what happened?"

"I was at this job interview and i was about to tell him what i jobbed with before and i just passed out"

"Oh... you okay now?"

"Yeah... i think so"

"Good"

"How was school?" she asked

"You know, its hell"

"Yeah like always"

"Right" i said "how long have been here?"

"Few hours... they have x-ray me too. in such a big machine you know"

"Oh... you sure you gonna be okay?"

"I-" she did not say more because a nurse called out her name.

"Yeah" mom said "you can wait here honey ill be back"

she stood up and walked with difficulty against the doctor. Now i was worried. It can be serious, it may not be serious, i don't want it to be serious.

I looked at the clock constantly and saw it go from four to half past four, from half past four to five and she hasn't come yet. I was now really worried. What if she broke something?

I looked at my phone and got a panic attack. But this time it wasn't so strong as it used to be. I needed fresh air fast so i pulled out a piece of paper and my pen and wrote

"Mom, ill be outside for a minute" and put it on the desk.

I walked fast out of the room and the tears forced to come out and I started running down the stairs and out into the yard.
