At that time it was almost bedtime,  I ate dinner and Showered, then layed in bed to sleep,  but I couldn't,  something kept me awake,  to the point that I don't even know if I blinked.  That one thought.  Would I expire?  I know it sounds stupid but Ava scared me pretty bad. My mom has never kept anything passed  the expiration date, so I felt even though that would probably never happen I was safe anyway. I was still kinda scared but I ended up asleep. 

In the morning my mom said that next week we would leave for a 2 week vacation to Minnesota.  I replied to my mom,"We cant!  I have to stay I need-" mom stopped me mid sentace. I knew I couldn't say anything else.  A week passed and I acctuly forgot about that stupid thing Ava said to me, but I also forgot about those popsicles in the back of the freezer.

It was the day, the day we leave for vacation, I was so oblivious that once we got on our plane,  I remembered. I remembered.  Oh shoot-what will happen?!? 1 week,  6 days.  "Tomarrow the popsicles will expire" I screamed in my head.  I knew we wouldn't make it back in time. It's just a story Ava said to scare me, right? During the vacation had a bad cough and threw up a lot and  I tried to make myself feel better and say that stupid story wasn't real.  But it was too late, today it expired. When I got home I was so sick and could barley move but  I somehow got to the popsicles and saw them all gross. At the time I felt like I was just going to wither away, I coughed and coughed then I couldn't breathe.  My mom tried to rush me to the emergency room but it was too late for me.
