        I woke up and walked over to my bathroom blindly. We've only lived in this house for 3 months so I didn't know my way around."ouch", I let out a quit yell of pain making sure not to wake my mother. As i sat down painfully on the floor I  realized I was on the other side of my room and had just smacked my knee on my desk chair.

         At least now I knew where I was. I quitly got up and made my way to the bathroom that was connected to my room. All the way making sure to keep my hand out in front of me. It was a good thing I did cause if i didn't i would have ran smack into the door. I felt around for the handle . When I found it i gave it a turn but to my dismay it didnt open. I tried pushing on it but it still wouldn't budge. I decided I'd give it one more push.

        I got into an athletes position. I counted to three and.... bam I hit the door full force.I fell to the ground in utter pain , my shoulder was throbbing and I could barely see anything . I needed my contacts which were in the bathroom.

        Right when I thought it couldn't get any worse. The bathroom door opens slightly and I see someone laying on the floor. My heart is racing I slowly try to open the door even more but theres something in the way. I shimmy my way in there.I turn the light on and in my blurry  sight i can see a body like shape laying limp on the tiled floor. I scramble to get my contacts in. What I see next makes me wish I never put my contacts in.

        The blurry shape ends up being my mom. Shes laying limp on the floor with pills spilt out around her an a pill bottle in her hand. I stand there just starring like an idiot. I try to move...to call 911 but it's useless.

        Finally I snap out of my paranoiya  and rush to grab my phone. I quickly dial 911. It rings three times befor it's picked up."Hellow how may I help you", says the lady who answered my call. "My name is Sara and I need an ambulance right away, I think my mother over dosed." " Ok do you know how long it has been since she has taken the pills and I need your address?" she asked. " I dont know how log it has been I just woke up and my address is 2412 Hertling Rd."I manged to utter out the words. " ok I will send an ambulance right now in the mean time get a cool rag and put it on her head."

        When i hung up I did as she said and  ran downstairs to get a rag. I finally found one under the basket of clean cloths on the dining room table. I quickly went to the kichen and got it damp with cool water. I ran up the stairs three at a time. As you most likely already guessed i'm fairly tall and almost 15.

        I bent down next to my mom and put the cool cloth on her forehead. After I did that I lightly picked up her head and layed it on my lap. I studied her face while trying to hold the tears in. She looked so serene and pale it broke my heart to see her  like this. I held onto her thinking that if I held her tighter she would come back to me.

        I couldn't help it the tears came flowing out. At that same moment paramedics rushed into the room. It took me a moment to realize what was going on. All I knew was they were taking my mom away from me. Then I snapped back to reality and I rushed after them to get in the ambulance next to my mom.
