lungs

part 57

i wake up to the smell of an hospital. i open my eyes and look at my surroundings. i've guessed it, i'm at a freaking hospital.

i saw my mom sitting in the chair next to the bed, holding sam in her arms. joey was asleep in the other chair, closer to my bed.

he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. his snores were even cuter though.

"mom." i let out, faintly.

mom looks up and gasps. "anna!" she says, "you're awake."

joey bolts up from sleeping and rubs his eyes, probably trying to debunk if i'm actually awake.

"i'm awake, silly." i told him, laughing a little.

his face his up and he smiled from ear to ear. he got up and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug that could last forever.

"i missed you." he whispers in my ear.

i smile before he pulls away from the hug and sits back in his seat. i look at mom, "what happened?"

"you had a anxiety attack, which triggered your lung to do its thing. we rushed you to the hospital and i called dr. berklin and he said for you to use an inhaler every day from now on." she says.

i groan and roll my eyes, "everyday?i already have to take the freaking medicine everyday day, why do i have to have an inhaler too?" i say, "i already have to live with this stupid lung anyway."

she glares at me, "don't say that. and you are taking that inhaler everyday whether you like it or not anna. that is final!"

i blow hair out of my face and look down, "that is final." i mocked.

"watch your tone!"

"dad wouldn't do this, he would've just let it slide." i said, making her go silent.

she shook her head and got up from the chair and walked out of the room. "i'll see you tomorrow, "she says, and just like that, she leaves.

joey looks at me with pity, "now what was all that about?" he asked.

"i'm mad at her." i said.

"why?"

i sigh and look up at him "becauseshejustinvitedmecknnaandsheknowsidontlikeher." i slur.

"english." he says.

i playfully roll my eyes, "she invited mckenna here for a week without even telling me and she expects me to be nice to her and mckenna."

he grabs my hand, "you gotta look at it from her side, anna. mckenna probably just wanted to see you and your mom didn't know what happened."

"and? she could've just came and asked me, 'hey is it okay if mckenna comes over for a week?'" i said.

"okay well..."he sighs, "just apologize to her tomorrow. i don't like to see you mad." he says.

"you're acting like my dad right now." i told him.

"just call me daddy."he winks at me.

i give him that 'really bitch' face. the same one i gave to mckenna.

"really?" i said.

he wiggles his eyebrows at me, "you're such a dork!" i told him, nudging his shoulder.

he scoffed, "says the one who likes pineapple on pizza! that shit is nasty!"

"hey! i find it very scrumptious." i told him in a British accent.

"well i find you very pulchritudinous." he says, poking my nose.

"using big words now, huh?" i said, raising my eye brows.

he nodded, "right from here." he says as he pointed to his head.

"mhm, give me your phone." i told him.

he sighs and takes it out from his pocket, "here."

i open up his phone and go to his search history. just like i guessed, i found, 'big words to use around smart people to not look dumb.'

i laughed, "'big words to use around smart people to not look dumb."

his face flushed red, "give that back!" he says, snatching the phone from my hand.

"you're so inexpedient." i said.

i look at his face, studying mine. he's probably trying to figure out what inexpedient means. gosh he's so inexpedient.

he opened up his phone and started typing something in. "what are you doing?"

"making a note for myself to look up what in-inex-"

"inexpedient?" i asked.

"yeah that word." he says, " now if you excuse me, i'm trying to be smart."

"debatable."
