Prologue
(Samantha)
"Hey....no I just..... omugawd....I'll be there."(click) I shut my phone. No it can be. It can never happen to me. Never. Not to me. No it's not going to happen. I've made my decision, it's not going to happen, I'm not going to let it happen.
I grabbed my car keys threw on my jacket and got into my car. When I put the key in the ignition I was off and there was no stopping me until I have reached my destination. I didn't care about running over my father's lawn, I didn't care about his stupid over decorated mailbox, and I didn't care about the cars in my way. I cared about my sister. My one and only sister, my little sister, the one I tell what's hot, who I like, who's going to the movies with me Saturday night, who has a shoulder for me to cry on when I'm hurt, who does my make-up and picks out my outfit on a big day, my best friend.
As I pulled into the parking lot I flew out and sprinted towards the doors as tears started spilling down my face. I ran as hard as I could, harder than I've ever ran before, harder than in any race I've ever ran. I didn't think I just ran. This couldn't be true, no, I won't accept this.
"Where is she," I yelled as I passed through the emergency hallway."Where is she!" my heart was pounding in my ears. My legs quivering under me, daring me to take another step or else they'll give. I was about to stop running and give up thinking I'll never find her until I heard a scream a couple of rooms in front of me. I knew it was grace. Her inocent high pitched voice. Macey.
"What are you doing! Get away! Don't touch me! Keep your hands off of me!" each cry was louder and louder.
"Macey! I'm here! It's all right! I'm here!" I cried out tryin to ease her discomfort and cries as much as possible.
"Excuse me, but you're not suppose to be in h-"said a woman in scrubs as I cut her off.
"That's my sister! Let me in!" I said as she was still blocking my way into the room. I saw my sister behind the lady her crystal blue eyes wide and terrified as she winced to a needle another women garbed in scrubs put in her forearm. I needed to get in there. Now.
" You don understand!" I said as I pushed her out of the way as she yelled of my grasp as I did so. I leapt from the doorway to the bedside of my sister as she took my hand , tears streaming down her face, scratches and bruises all of her." Massey, I'm here, I'm here. Everything is going to be fine. Massey shook her head and stopped the useless calls of help and smiled as a twinkling tear went past her lips.
" Sam, I love you."
"I love you too, it's all going to be fine, believe me.
She started to shake her head again," You and me both know it looks pretty bad," then she gave a smile obviously forced through her cut lips." But I just want you to know, I love you with all my heart Sam, and that even if I do die, I'll always be thining of you in heaven," her voice started to grow faint and then towards a soft whisper," Bu you hav to promise m-..." she was in unbearable pain and I could tell by her breaking in mid words.
"What! I'll promise anyting for you! Just name it! I'll do it! Just tell me what it is!" I said as another tear crept from my eye.
Now her voice was below a whisper and I had to strain my ears to hear it"Promise me that.. That you will run again, in races, I remember when you ran, you were the wind baby." then she coughed a raspy cough that made me flinch by her pain that she couldn't hide as much as she tried.
"Anything for you bumblebee! Just stay! I love you more than anything! Please! Stay here! I love you!"
"I love you t-" I felt her hand loosen her grasp on mine, then I watched as the life left her eyes and the moving of her chest stopped swelling with air and relesing the air.
Then I stopped yelling at her life to come back, and I stopped crying out also so all there was was silent tears. Nothing I could express the way I felt. Crying wasn't nearly enough to take it out, so I turned around and walked and I ran. I ran and pumped my legs as hard I could. I didn't know where I was going I just ran and ran and ran. I passed many of people crowding the late night sidewalks and a few people staring at me akwardly, but I didn't care now. I didn't, I couldn't. I didn't dare care about anything because I wasn't thinking. All I could think about was the face of my sister as all signs of life left it.
