One Year, and He changed my life (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 7

~CONTINUED FLASHBACK~

Cory's POV

I ran outside and frantically looked around. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something move and I heard silent whimpering.

"Miranda!" I yelled and ran over to her. She was laying on the ground clutching her chest. I quickly pulled out my phone and called 911. Within 15 minutes the ambulance arrived and rushed her to the hospital. I called my parents right after I dialled 911 and they came as fast as they could and we drove to the hospital.

It's been two hours of us waiting in the waiting room until the doctor emerged from the surgical room.

He walked up to us and we all three stood up.

"Your daughter is fine" we all sighed in relief

"For now..." We all looked at him confused.

"For now?" My mother asked sounding worried.

"She has a serious heart condition. There's not enough blood pumping through her body and she tends to lose oxygen quite quickly after a short jog am I right?" My mom nods then she covers her mouth with her hand and hides her face in my dad's chest weeping.

"She will be fine as long as she keeps a breather with her at all costs. Also she will need to take prescription medication and blood pressure medication until we can figure out a way to help her more." My father nods and thanks him and they shake hands and the doctor walks off.

I turn to my dad "So...will she be okay?"

He sighs and rubs my head "she'll be fine."

I smile and sigh in relief "Good, when can we see her?"

He shrugs "probably not until tomorrow, she needs her rest. Come on let's go home and come back tomorrow"

We leave and once we get home I walk up to my bedroom, strip my clothes and decide to take a shower to clear my head from today's events.

Once I got out I dried off and put on boxers and climbed into bed. I was exhausted and need sleep.

The next morning I woke and walked down to the kitchen. No one was home, go figure. I opened the refrigerator door and shivered at the cold air rushing past my skin. I grabbed the milk and opened the cabinet and got a bowl and the cereal and grabbed a spoon from the drawer and pored me some cereal. Once I was finished I put the bowl in the sink and went back upstairs to get dressed. I walked back down and grabbed my back pack and walked out the door, locking it first and started walking to school.

School was once again. Boring. Josh still ignored me and even started to pick on me with some of his friends. I didn't say or do anything and let them do it. No point in fighting a battle I'll lose anyway.

During lunch Patty and I talked a bit about what we were going to do for a fall dance in a few weeks.

"I'm thinking I'll go with a pale red color and have white flowers along the sides." She says excitedly as she explains her dress she's planning on wearing.

I nod "Sounds pretty to me."I smile lightly. After lunch I walk to my next class. I sit in the back corner again, and wait for school to begin.

After school I got a text from mom saying she was at the hospital with my sister and that dad will lick me up when he gets home and drive over there to meet her. I replied with 'okay' and threw my phone on my bed and laid on it. 10 minutes later I fall asleep.

I wake up with a jerk and sit up panting, thinking about the dream. I was running through the woods and I was running towards Miranda but couldn't get to her. There was stopping me from connecting with her anymore and I ended up getting eaten. I rub my eyes and looks at the clock. '9:15'

Dad should've been here a long time ago. I walk into the kitchen and see a note.

'Cory,

Went to the hospital to see your sister, I didn't want to wake you. Your mother and I will be back around 12. There's some frozen pizza in the freezer. Be back soon.

Love you,

Dad'

I crumple up the paper and throw it away and walk towards the fridge. I open it and see frozen pizza sitting there. I pull it out and follow he directions and pop it in the oven and wait for it to cook. Once I'm finished I put the rest away and go lay on the couch to watch some TV. I must have ended up falling asleep because when I woke up I was in my bed.

~ 6 months later~

It's been 6 months and Miranda still as sick as ever. Mom had to quit her job in order to take care of her. I was currently reading on the couch when Miranda walked in. Well more like wobbled. She sits next to me and smiles.

"Whatcha reading squirt?"

I smile "My favorite book"

"Ugh that one again? What's this the 7th time?" We chuckle.

"6th time and yes this one again...how are you feeling?"

She shrugs "I could use some energy but I'm okay" she smiles. Ever since the heart condition has happened she barely has an energy to do anything. She's not really suppose to go to school but graduation isn't far and she wants to make it to that and graduate.

"Do you wanna watch some movies?" I asked

She nods and smiles "sure"

I get up and pop in a random movie and presses play. The beginning credits role in and we watch the movie. 6 hours later and she's asleep on the couch. I'm about ready to doze off when I hear my dad walk in.

"Hey Cory. See you and Miranda had a movie day huh?" He smiles

"Yeah we did. Even though she crashed into the second one" I laugh lightly and he chuckles.

"I'll take her to bed." He walks over and picks her up and carries her to her room. I stand up and stretch and walk into my room. I strip my clothes and walk into the shower and sigh when the warm water hits my skin. I wash and stay in the shower for a while and then get out and put on boxers and climb into bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm out.
