What Happens Next?

Chapter 2: The Hospital

It's been two days since the so called "accident". I've decided to lock this memory in the box with everything else. I've decided that writing would be the best thing for me. And with that I got a ton of sticky notes and a box to put them in.

        My box is very old it came from my great great grandmother. She used it to put her bad dreams in. What you do is write what your thinking on a sticky note and put it in there. Therefor out of sight out of mind.You would be surprised how well it works.

        Im sitting in the hospital room  trying to hold tears back , trying to be stronge because i know it's all going to be ok. But i can't help but think "what if it's not. What if she won't be ok and I have to go somewhere else."

        Befor I could further worry myself my best friend Seth walked in(Long story short he's been my friend since kindergarden. He's always been there for me.) "Hey you ok?" he said taking a seat next to me. Befor I even knew what I was doing I collapsed on him. He started to stroke my hair and tell me that everything was going to be ok.

         In that instant I knew I could trust him forever. " You have no idea what it's like to see someone you love completely change into something you never imagined," i uttered through my crying and hicupping. " Hey you missed ur first day of school."

"Yeah i'm sorry,"

" It's okay I did all your homework though we only had a chemistry paper to "re-jog" our memory."                                                                                                                     

"You did?" I said half laughing half crying. "yeah i did and umm"He pulled flowers out from behind him" I'm really sorry about what happened."  "You really brought those for me? There beautiful thank you" " Oh i almost forgot," He said pulling something out of his back pocket." Here I also got you this." He handed a rectangular shaped box.

"What is it?" "Well you have to open it." I slowly took the box from him.I  stared at it just thinking about how lucky I was to have a friend like him."Are you going to open it or do I need to help you." He said teasingly. " no sorry I was just thinking." I took the wrapping paper off and slid the item out of the box.

"Oh my gosh it's perfect"I said holding the ankle bracelet in my hand.It had a gold and silver braided  chain with little charms on it. Each charm was an inside joke or a time that had captured my heart. There was a McDonald's charm on it because one time when we were  there and some heavy weight worker started to clean the play place. She stared to clean the slides and she fell in one slide and got stuck . It was so funny we went to the front counter and told them it took about 3 hours to get her out.

        There was a bread stick because one time we were at pizza ranch and this tiny mancame walking in an asked for 100 breadsticks. When he got them he sat down by himself and shoved every last one in his mouth.but thats not the funny part what happened next was the funny part. He walked over to us and said" You two have been watching me this whole time are you from a reality tv show,'' if you where there his voice was higher than a man from canada. We laughed so hard that the guy thought we were crazy.and left.

        The very last thing made me cry.It was a yellow bow. It was special because my aunt always wore a yellow bow. She was my best friend. When she died she gave me that bow she wore every day. That same old yellow bow she has worn threw everything. I then wore it every day. Then in 9th grade we where on the bus coming home from school  when amanda came walking up th aisle towards us. I stayed quit and didn't listen to her until she said something that caught my attention."So are you going to answer me.... Why do you where that stupid bow everyday?" "Why do you care!" I said in the most snotty stuck up voice I could manage.    

        As I said that she ripped the bow out of my hair."STOP! give it back now!" "Why should I whats a ratty old tarnished anyway, it's not like it's important right?" She asked almost to easily. It sickened me how people could just act like that. And the fact that they could look back and laugh and smile about it makes me want to hurl.She stopped my inner babble by threatening to throw it out of the window. I ran at full speed towards her  but I was to late it had already flown out the window.I remember sinking to the tiled aisle and crying my eyes out until Seth came and picked me up because it was our stop. He walked me to my room in my house layed me down and tucked me in I slept the whole time.

        The next day me and Seth met at our usual spot to wait for the bus. " Hey......you okay," he said trying to be sympathetic. "I'll be ok." I said.

                                                        ********************************.

        It was now after school and we where on our way home again this time amanda wasn't on the bus. The bus came to a stop and I finally realized it was my stop. We got out and stood there watching the bus leave. He took a step towards me and held out a box . I asked "Whats this," "Well you'll have to open it." I remember unwrapping that box and sliding the item out of it. When the item fell on my hand a rush of emotions came over me ; love, thankfulness, releif and joyfully lucky." I went all the way back to get you're bow I figured it could be an early birthday gift. "I don't know what to say thank you so much...this is the best gift ever." I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug that lasted about 10 minutes. All the while I was crying.
