On the way to the hospital, I called Cleo's mom and told her what was going on. So she said she would notify Jesse and meet us there.
We pulled up to the hospital and I got out and slammed the truck door shut and started dodging for the hospital doors.
"Hey, dont get ahead of yourself, wait for me" my dad said as I stopped at a jolt.
"Well hurry up, I need to see Cleo."
"Hey, I'm hurrying as fast as my out of shape body will let me go."
"Your not out of shape dad, round is a shape." I said smiling.
Dad just gave me that playful 'you better watch it, or your gonna be sorry type look'.
"What, I'm kidding dad, we both know your in shape, you ride horse all the time." I said smiling at my dad.
"Thats right, you know better than to pick on me"." My dad said.
"Your just old." I said evilly.
"Thats it." My dad said starting to chace me, I ran to the hospital doors screaming like a girl.
"Shhh." My dad said, people are trying to sleep.
"Theres the speed I know you had hidden." I said to my dad.
"Shut up." He said smiling and rooling his eyes.
"I love you dad."
"Yeah yeah." He said back.

"Hi, were here for Cleo. What room would she be in?" I asked the lady behind the desk.
"Um, she isnt available right now, but when she is, she will be in room 223." The lady said.
"Ok, thank you." I said, then we left.

My dad and I sat in the waiting room for about 10 minutes when Cleo's mom and boyfriend came around the corner. She was walking fast with a blue and white striped bag around her shoulder, and of course Jesse had his boots, wranglers and cowboy shirt on. I swear, thats the only kind of outfit that kid knew. But thats okay. He was good looking anyways.
"Where is she?" Her mom asked ask me in a panic and you could see trails on her cheeks where she had been crying.
"She's not available right now. But when she is, it will be room 223." I told her.
She flopped down in a chair looing really exhausted.
"Ok, thank you" She said closing her eyes.

Around 20 minutes later, the doctor came out.
"Which of you is the mother of Cleo?" The doctor asked.
"That would be me, why? Is she ok?" Cleos mother had a panicky look.
The doctor was silent for a moment but answered "I'm sorry, we tried the best we could, but it wasnt enough. She's gone."
