Falling of the Hornets Nest

File 2 For time will tell

I awoke the next morning on floor. I must have fallen and didn't notice. I sat back up on the couch to smell hash browns and bacon. My favorite. I wandered towards the smell that wavered into my nose and made my soul feel alive. I peeked in to find Troy wearing a pink apron and humming a tune. "Come on in, it's almost done." He said grabbing a plate to throw the golden goodness on. I went to the table and sat by the window. "Have they came yet to take me home." I said as he placed down his plate and sat across from me. I only got a shake of the head and a slight sorry. We had almost finished eating when Joseph ran in with a panicked look on his face. "They are in the hospital." He exclaimed looking at me. I stood up and grabbed my clothes to change into. I hurriedly got dressed and ran out the door. I didn't even know how to get there but I some how would. Troy and Joseph pulled up behind me with another head in the back. "Tana get in we are going to take you there." Troy said quickly. I looked at him with a small sigh and got in. I had an odd feeling though buckling in I felt watched. We drove on to the hospital and arrived an hour after me run off. I found Tim sitting in a chair as my mom laid in a bed. "What. Happened." I said angrily looking down at my feet. This hot rage I felt was uncontrollable. No one spoke. Tim looked away as if ashamed of himself. I repeated the question with more force and looked at him with tears falling down my face. "I hit an oncoming car that had a drunk driver in it and it had more force and hit your mothers side. I got the least of it but she has a fractured arm,three ribs and possible head trauma. She might not come out of this alive kid." He looked back at me as I fell on ,my knees and sobbed. Joseph kneeled down to pat my back when a small cough startled him. "I am alive and will be okay. Tana come here." She said softly. I crawled to the bed still crying and looked her in the eyes. I knew she was okay now. Tim sat on the other side of the bed rubbing his arm in the sling. "How are you doing Mary?" He asked with a smile laced with concern. She said not a word but looked away from me to him. "Should we come back later?" A nurse asked with a clipboard. I shook my head and moved out of her way. "How is she doing doc?" I asked when I followed her out of the room. "Only time will tell." The nurse said sighing. I knew that sigh, it was the 'Only a miracle could save her' sigh. I smiled as I walked back in looking content for being in the white walls of the tomb she would lay. Troy, Tim Brian,and Joseph walked out giving me some privacy with her. I laid my head by her hand. She stroked my head as I said goodbye. I walked out as she flat lined. They knew she was gone and I walked away crying, muttering about not wanting to leave her. We all squished in the car. I sat I between Joseph and Troy. Brian drove as Tim sat shotgun. The car ride was quiet except for my sobs in Troy's shoulder. May she rest with the man who was my father. We arrived home and I slowly manovered my way inside until Tim called me back. I sat down next to where he sat trying to light his cigarette. I helped him light it and he smokes a bit before asking if I was okay. Those little words hurt me more than ever now. I shook my head and leaned on him. Then I silently cried again and did so until I fell into a dreamless sleep on the couch holding a pillow to my chest.
