Chapter 1

"OK, Ms. King how are you feeling this morning?" Doctor Tebbi ask me. I been sitting in this hospital for about a week because of my pain crisis. I've been dealing with sickle cells disease every since I came out the wound. These crisis that I have was something that I've learned how to deal with. "Not to good I still have pain in my leg but I think I'm able to go home." I said ready to get up out of there. My mom was sitting in the corner just sitting there listening. She has always been there for me since day one she has lost plenty of jobs due to her taking off because I was in the hospital. Now that I'm 15 I've learned how to deal with this on my own. "Blu are sure?" My mom asked. "Yes" I said. "Well we're going to keep you one more night just to see how your doing and we're got to drop the dose on your dylotic try to get up and walk around. I'm gonna send someone from physical therapy up here so you can down to the gym and exercise. Will that be OK?" He asked. "Yea sure"I said. "Ok, I'll send someone up soon. Hope you feel better." He said then walked out. "I guess I'll get up and freshen up." I said getting my stuff ready so I can do my hygiene. "OK I'll go down to the cafeteria and get me some fruit and I'll be back." My mom said. "OK I should be out by then." I said. "OK" she said then walked out. Soon as I finished getting my stuff together I called the nurse in so she can wrap up my IV. I swear this thing is getting on my nerves. Soon as the nurse finished wrapping up my IV she told me to just buzzed her so she can come back and hook me OK. I said OK and she left. I got my phone and put on some music. I needed some soothing music to put my mind to rest while I'm taking a shower.
I used to be afraid of giving up the road was just to tough
Out here on my own
My path was so alone but I now I see clearly everything within me is reaching up to the sky I see the world with open eyes ayye
You can't let it pass you just take hold and grasp it now it's time to take a chance
With the strength of thousand men climbing to feet again
So dry those tears from your eyes and everyhing will be alright you know the rainbow just inside dust your wings off as you rise. If your heart feels overwhelmed just know your never by yourself put your hands in mine hold your head up high and together will rise.

Listening to the McClain sisters singing rise just lifted my spirit and I was feeling a little better. By the time I finished my shower my mom had came back with some fruit. "You want some fruit I got some green apples some oranges and a mango." She said with a smile. "Yea thanks mom" I said "no problem." She said. I called nurse so she could unwrap my IV and hook it back up. After she finished that I finished my fruit and just laid back down on the bed. I checked my phone to see so many "get well" and "I love you" and "stay strong" messages from family members and my best friend Diamond. She was the only one Who understood what I had going on. I didn't really tell anyone else because I didn't want them to judge me or think I was different because I'm a sickly person. I was in deep thought when I heard a knock at the door and I told whoever it was to come in and it was a dude around my age. I thought he was lost or something or that he walked in the wrong room. But when he said he was taking me to the gym my mouth dropped.
