A Short Story : The Story Of My Life

“I forgot. Your mother was in your study the night I invited them for dinner. She came in here to have a talk with you. You were slightly incapacitated, at the time, I believe.”

“I’m sorry, hon’. She up and left,” the nurse shrugged, checking my vitals on the monitor. “Everything looks good today.”

The paramedics rushed over to Angelica, checked her pulse, the paramedic said, “She has no pulse, we have to get her to the nearest hospital quick.” Marie started crying and screaming, “Oh my God, Oh my God, Please, help my baby.” Aunt Lori held Marie. As they were working with Angelica, Aunt Lori rushed to the phone and called David and Simone to tell them to meet them at the hospital. After hanging up, the paramedics rushed Angelica out the door, Marie rode in the ambulance with them. Aunt Lori rushed out behind them following the ambulance. When they made it to the hospital, they rushed Angelica inside, were there was Doctors waiting. As they rushed Angelica to the back, Marie tried to follow them, but one of the paramedics stopped her and said, “Maam, she’s in good hands, I’m sorry, but you can’t go back there.” “That’s my daughter.” said Marie. “Maam, I’m sorry, but you can’t.” said the paramedic. Marie walked off, headed to the waiting area, she was still crying. When she got to the waiting area, Aunt Lori rushed to her side. “What did they say?” ask Aunt Lori. “They told me that I can’t go back there.” said Marie. As they were talking, Simone and David rushed in. “Mom, What happened?” ask Simone. “I don’t know.” cried Marie. “Mom, come sit down.” said David. Marie kept crying. “It’s going to be alright, Angelica will be just fine.” said David. “Aunt Lori what happened?” ask Simone. “We were all asleep, then Angelica started screaming, she was crying and complaining about her head, she said that her head was hurting real bad, so Marie went and got a warm towel and placed it on her forehead, but she was still in pain, so I called the ambulance, when they arrived Marie and I rushed to the door to let them in and when they rushed to the back, they said Angelica had no pulse.” “Oh my God.” said Simone. “Have the Doctor or anyone spoken to you?” ask David. “No, just before you both arrived, they rushed her in the back.” said Marie. They all sat and

"She isn't going to last much longer." I feel my body shaking. I can't see my mom any more as they lift me onto a bed. I count five doctors and four nurses.

When I went in and sat down, I waited for Dr. Stanpole to call me. As I looked around to try and distract myself. Immediately I heard the footsteps of the nurses running past me like a horse in a race. I was confused, then got up from the bench and tapped one of the nurses passing by and queried "What's going on and why is everyone in such a hurry?". She passed me like if I wasn't even there so meanwhile I decided to wait here until I saw Dr. Stanpole coming. I asked him while hesitating, "What's going on, but mainly how's

“M-m-my mom, she passed out and won’t respond,” I said trying to keep myself steady.

“What?” By now, it was the two of you, as the nurse left to care for other patients. “Uh-”

The nurse watched the scene sadly. “Would you like to think about an abortion? I can set up a date for you.”

I got into the back of the ambulance this was my first time so I asked if it would be okay if I layed down on the bed the man whose name I forgot shortly after he told me first took my pulse he asked me what happened and I told him. After he took my pulse I asked him to look at my head because I was really worried about it he told me I was okay and just had a little cut on my ear. I asked him if we should go to the hospital but he said it was up to my mom so we would have to wait until she arrived. Around this time is when Reiley’s mom showed up and I felt so bad that this happened on the day she lost her aunt. I told her I was sorry for piling this on top of her loss she told me not to be sorry. Suddenly a strange woman came into the ambulance she looked hispanic and I had never actually met her before I asked how she was and why she was there and she apologized and said she thought I was her granddaughter in all honestly I’m not sure why she thought this because I didn’t look anything like her. But she left and I told Reileys mom to go be with Wes and see how Reiley was

“Doctor, you must think I’m a terrible mother, not to be here at a time like this. What did you find out? Please tell me-it was just a fluke, right?” I ask and apologize.

“Before all of the questions, I need to know what happened to my parents.” The nurse looked uncomfortable.

I looked down to see needles in my arm, wires in my nose, and a giant machine hooked up through a catheter in my leg. Irritating beeping began to ring in my ears. My parents were nowhere to be found. I was alone in my dark and noisy hospital room. At least until a team of doctors walked in. They shut off the beeping and told me that my heart had stopped in the previous doctor’s office so an ambulance brought me here. I had been in a coma for 3 days. I sat up in confusion as they explained my condition. They explained that both of my kidneys had failed and I was now hooked up to a dialysis machine that was taking out my blood, cleaning it, and putting it back in. I felt so overwhelmed, that I felt was going to cry. But then the smile of a certain red and black jester popped into my head and I realized that I had to stay strong. 2 months later I was learning about the pills I must take every day, the diet I must abide by, and all the ways to take care of my body while I waited for a transplant. Not only that, but the doctors always had to run tests on me. Hours of CT-Scans, Kidney Scans, Biopsies, Ultrasounds, X-Rays and much more. Some were painless but most of them weren't. But of course, Harley's smile is what kept me strong. After 2 more weeks, I was finally able to go home after being in the hospital for a total of 3

“You’re a liar; you promised you would take care of her, and you told me she made it through surgery.” Chay was yelling so loud and out of control that his uncle shook him by his arms and said, “She dead! Do you understand, she’s dead and you can’t see her! Nothing you do is going to bring her back, quit screaming.” With that a nurse walked into the room, it took every ounce of energy the doctor and his uncle had to pin Chay down while the nurse gave him a shot.

I was fast asleep in my room. When all the sudden I got woken up by someone shaking me and screaming at me to get up. I could hear the sounds of sobs as I look up with blurry eyes and see my mother over me. I slowly get up “Why, what 's going on I have to be up to get ready in like an hour what do you want?” I asked confused.

"There 's no need to worry, miss," the other patient said. She didn 't remember seeing him wake up. "You 're currently in Mayo Clinic. I overheard the doctor say you 're in no immediate danger. I guess you had yourself a little car accident."
