Cuts and Bruies a carvie love story

Evie

Evie was feeling like she was dieing. She already saw a doctor. He said that's it's just the common flu. But does the flu last almost 4 months? She didn't think so....

Evie's pov:

I rolled over on my side. I didn't feel good.

Cl:" hey mom. I'm heading out. Dad's at work." My daughter said poking her head into my room.

" Where (sniffs) are you going?" I asked. Rolling over to face the door where my daughter stood.

Cl:" do need me to stay? I was just going to karias. I can call in some pizza?" She said coming all the way in. She sat on the edge of my bed. She put her hand over my forhead but quickly moved away.

Cl:" ow... Mom your burning up. Hold on." She said leaving the room to get something.

Not even 5 seconds later she's back where she was. She put the thermometer in my mouth then when it beeped she removed it. She looked at it then her eyes grew wide.

Cl:" M-mom you need to get to the doctors. Your temp is 103.4!" She said.

I took it from her. She's not kidding.

I couldn't move. She took her phone out of her pocket and dialed 911.
I had to get up. I slowly sat up Claire was pacing the hall behind the door.

Cl:" ( muffled) hello? Yeah. This is Claire De-vil. Uh my mom is very sick. We need to get her to the hospital... Her temp is 103.4 the last I checked... No my father isn't here! My mom needs a ambulance!" I walked into the bathroom. I stood above the sink. I vomited and there was blood mixed the bile in the sink below me. I moved to get into the shower but as moved to the shower I slipped on some cloths.

I hit my head on the rim of the tub. I cried out to Claire.

" C-claire! Help..m.me" I said my eyes closing ever so slightly. I heard Claire's panicked feet hit the cold hardwood floors as she opened the door.

Narrator:

That's the last time Evie ever opened her eyes. Carlos was called from work.

Carlo's POV:

I was finishing some paperwork from yesterday. The plan was to stop by the store to pick up some soup for Evie. I was getting ready to lock up my office when my cell rang.

" Hello?" I said into the phone.
Cl:" dad? Daddy? You (sobbing) there?" It was my daughter.

" Baby? What's wrong?" Claire never called while I was at work and she sure as hell never cries unless something is wrong.
Cl:" dad. I-its mom. She got up to take a shower but she slipped on something ( cries) and now she won't open her eyes."

I pictured Evie on our wedding day. How her eyes shone like the stars. And imagining her never opening those eyes I fell in love with 20 years ago on the isle when we were 16. Tears started to fill my eyes but I quickly blinked them away.

Cl:" dad? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave a mess. This is all my fault I'm sorry. (Begins sobbing)"

I hung up and got into my car. I drove until I got caught up in rush hour traffic. There was an ambulance. I was praying it wouldn't turn on my street. Once I got there I saw the ambulance slow down near my house. I stopped the car in my usual spot in the drive way.

I ran into the house where Claire was fighting a paramedic.

Cl:" I need to know if my mom is gonna be ok! LET ME GO!" she screamed. Tears were running down her face. She eventually saw me and ran out of his arms and into mine.

Cl:" Daddy I'm sorry." She wispered.

" It's not your fault baby." I said soflt into her ear. They were taking to long! Claire cried herself to sleep in my arms as we waited. Minutes turned to hours. I laid her on the couch and reached into my pocket to call Mal. This is gonna crush her.

After about 3 rings I hung up pain in my chest growing by the minute. About 5 minutes later Mal calls back.

M:" hey snowball. You called?" She said. I could just feel the pain that is gonna erupt in her soul. Why does this have to be so hard. Memory's of when they first met each other. It was me and Mal and Evie and Jay. It took a while for Mal and Evie to become friends. Mal was still butthurt about Evie not inviting Mal to her sixth birthday. But then one day they had all four of us explain our pasts. Jay and I had it bad. And they took pity on us. When Evie started crying while I was telling my story I knew she wasn't cold hearted like she seemed. People on the isle were mean. They'd call her a slut. And other things. She came to me one day in my tree house for help. But that's the day we shared our first kiss. That's the place that holds all our semi- happy memories. Mal and Evie became closer than Mal and I. And I let her. Evie became the love of my life. That time Mal ran away. Evie told me she wasn't going to give up. That was just an Evie thing.

M:" Carlos?" I finally broke. I was crying." Is it about Evie? Is she ok?" Mals voice went from casual to deathly afraid.

" N-no. Mal. (Cries for a minute) I think she's dead." I said and she went quite. " M-mal?" I said and she started crying. I could karias voice in the back round.

K:" mom?" She said and picked the phone out from her hand. " Uncle Carlos? Claire was supposed to be here hours ago. Is she in trouble? Why is my mom crying?" She asked and I hung up. I can't do this.

Jay called me minutes later.

J:" Carlos! What happened?!" Jays voice said through the phone. I clung it close to my chest and heavy sobs escaped my chest as they wheeled Evie's pale body on the gourny.
She was connected to a heart monitor. A faint heart beat... Claire shot up and ran to her side.
