Chapter 7

White tiled floors

WARNING: IF YOU CANT HANDLE EMOTIONAL STUFF DONT READ ON.

When I got home it was silent and I let out a loud sigh. They weren't ever around but I get how upset they are to be in the house after Lace passed away. I trudge up to my room and plan to take a shower and clean up a bit.

"There you are! Where the fuck were you?" Sky yells as I enter my room to see him sitting on my bed playing on his phone.

"I was busy with a friend," I say easily. I never really lie to Sky I just can't bring myself to always tell him the full truth.

"All I'm gonna say is you better have not gotten some random girl pregnant. Well unless she goes on 16 and pregnant and then we can be famous," he shrugs as he continues messing around on his phone.

"How did you even get in?" I ask while stripping down to my boxers and pulling on sweatpants.

"I know where you guys hide your key to the house, stupid." He says while stretching and sprawling out on my mattress.

"Okay, well I haven't showered so I'm going to get cleaned up. I'll see you after, yeah?" I ask gathering my clothes and heading into the bathroom. When I turn around I see Sky fast asleep. I laugh and get in the shower and clean myself up. When I finish, Sky is still asleep so I decide to play some black ops until it gets late. Eventually I fall asleep on the floor with the sound of guns shooting in the background from my game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Groaning, I roll over and search for my phone that is buzzing next to me. The bright screen lights up the dark room and I read the time and it's says 5:00.

Who is calling me at 5:00 in the god damn morning?

I groggily say hello to the person on the other line and instantly perk up when I here a old ladies voice.

"... You will need to be here immediately," the lady says and I forgot to listen to what she was saying.

"What?" I ask, confused as I run my hand over my face and knit my eyebrows together while I sit up.

"Honey, it's nurse Galla from the emergency room. There has been an accident and you need to be here immediately," she repeats and I jump up and grab my jacket before running down the stairs and practically yanking my keys off the the key holder. Quickly backing out of my driveway and speed down the road to the emergency room. No cars seem to be around except a few here and there and I easily doge them. When I arrive at the hospital I'm instantly overwhelmed with the beeping and phone ringing and the awful smell of bleach and other cleaning supplies. I jog to the front counter and gasp out my last name to the lady. She puts the phone down from her ear and tell me to go to room 213 on the 2nd floor. I pass the elevator and run up the stairs and to room 213.

When I enter the room I see my dad curled up crying holding my who is attached to many machines. I refocus on my senses and here a solid beep that doesn't seem to end. No breaks. I glance at the machine and bold and solid line goes across the heart rate screen and I slam into the floor on my knees.

I want to talk to my dad who seems to be bleeding as well but I can't bring myself to speak any words and English seems like a foreign language. A doctor comes in and pushed past me grabbing my father. When my father resists and starts to thrash the doctor injects him with medication to make him fall asleep.

"NO! MY WIFE!" He screams before he passes out.

"Your father needs to go into surgery and he refused to leave his wife so we had to inject him," the doctor explains as he quickly drags my father out of the room. I get up and walk over to my mom who is laying there. If I couldn't here the beep that indicated her stopping heart I would believe she was simply asleep. In a way she is just asleep but this time she won't wake up. What the fuck happened?!

I begin to violently shake and rip the machine out from the wall and remove all the needles and IV drip from my mothers lifeless body. I pull her to me and exhale as the sound of silence fills the room.

"Mommy," I gasp out as I finally begin to shatter and my body gets consumed my sobs. I hug her close to her and rub her back continuously whispering "mommy" over and over again. I begin crying so hard I can't breath and I feel sick to my stomach. Quickly getting up and throw up in the trash can across the room and sit down on the cold tiled floor of this white hospital room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up with an ache in my back and I'm in my bed. I must have fallen asleep at the hospital. I rub my head and then instantly realize it was a dream. I stretch and climb out of bed, shaking out my hair and walking downstairs. I see Sky's red hair on the couch and walk over saying good morning and he looks up at me with tears in his eyes.

"How are you holding up?" He asks as he holds a pillow tightly against his small frame.

"Fine?" I question as I walk into the kitchen and grab myself a mug.

"I had to come get you at the hospital. They called me after you passed out," Sky explains as he walks over to me.

Instantly I hear a shatter on the ground and pain on my feet.

It wasn't a dream?

"Where's my dad?!" I shout as I run into his room and find the bed made.

"WYATT!" Sky screams at me as I run around looking for him in the house.

"WHERE IS HE?" I shout in Sky's face.

"Wyatt, your dad had so much internal bleeding. They couldn't stop it and he died in surgery," he finishes. All at once for the second time in 24 hours the world becomes black and I wish this black will consume me and swallow me and simply kill me.

This chapter was extremely hard for me to write. I cried so much I needed several tissues. You'll see what happens now that everybody is gone. The story only has a few chapters left because it is after all a SHORT STORY. Aha I'll update again tonight.

Bye :(((
