The house was quiet too quiet, something was definitely wrong. I was always greeted with sounds of clanging pots, but not tonight, I could even hear a pin drop.
"Mom, I'm home"
I was met with dead silence. No reply.
To say my heart was racing would be an understatement, I was scared shitless. I swear I felt liquid glide down my thighs.
I run upstairs, in hopes of finding my mother just asleep and nothing else.
I always insulted people who froze when they saw something bad happen. The more you stood there, the more the person was dying.
I could say I understood them right now.
My mother lay on the floor, a puddle of blood surrounding her head, her olive skin drained of whatever colour they had.
I was stuck. Frozen. I couldn't move.
I just stared with eyes and mouth wide open, I probably looked like a constipated fish.
Snapping out of my daze, I quickly grabbed my phone with shaky hands, trying to call an ambulance. As to when the tears filled my eyes, i don't know, all I knew was the screen was blur, I couldn't see the damn keypad.
I was losing it. This time it was real I was actually losing it. I gave the middle finger to a lady who was giving me the stink eye, just cause I was pacing back and forth.
The poor woman was trying to calm her child and I was worsening it.
I'm pretty sure if the receptionist had the power she would have called security to escort me out and maybe even get a restraining order.
Well guess what I didn't care, why the hell was no doctor seeing my mom at the moment.
"When did you say the doctor would see her", I asked for the millionth time.
"Ma'am, he would be with her shortly, he got held back for a few minutes." The annoyance in her voice was clear.
"What if something happens to her, what if there is too much air in the room and she over breathes, what if.." I was on full mode panic right now.
As to how much her eyes widened at my ridiculous what ifs I don't know.
"Once again Ms. Evan's, she has been taken care of by the nurses, all that's left is for the doctor to see and diagnose her."
Just then the doors opened and a brown eyed Greek God stepped out with green scrubs.
About time he came.
