They walked me outside, to the gate of the school.
I gave them a quick hug and ran out the gate. Waited for the bus and got on. It was a young man driving the bus. "Wagging are you?" He tutted jokingly. "Home...Dad.....Hospital....Mum...." was all I could get out of my mouth. "Oh ", his face became serious. "I'm sorry bro." he apologized. "Don't be, you didn't do anything." I say glumly. I sighed with despair. I reached my stop and thanked the bus driver.
It took all my strength to get home. The door was unlocked. I burst through.
"Dad?" I heave. "Car now."
I walked outside again, towards the car. As I inches myself closer and closer, I thought about her. I wondered if she was still alive, taking her last breaths.. Or if she had taken her last breath... I waited at the car door for dad. He came. We drove there in silence..
On the way, I texted Dan. Who I'd already added into contacts. It went something like this, "Hey.. It's Kyle. How are you? Things aren't good for me ATM... ~Kyle" we finally reached the hospital.
We raced up the stairs not wanting to waste time waiting for the elevator.
We snuck in. Two nurses gave each other a nod and left when we came in.
"Mum..." I whispered painfully. Dad collapsed in a chair and cried, while holding her hand. I watched her heart beat on the monitor. It looked normal..
"I love you... I had so much to tell you.." I whisper. I kissed her on the cheek.
A nurse hovered around the door. I knew she wouldn't make it through the night. I took a seat opposite my dad on the other side of mum.
Sam came not long after.
He said what he had to say.
We all just sat there; in pain and anxiety, in uncertainty.
I had a nap, still thinking of her. Some gut feeling woke me up. I looked at her. She was really pale.
I kissed her again. For.. Maybe the last time..
We all just say there in silence. I watched the heartbeat monitor.
Slowly her chest heaved slower, and the heartbeat monitor slowed down to a stop. Just one line... beeoop. went a noise, like went a robot goes out of battery. I couldn't bare it.
I buried my head in my hands. "Mum!" I sobbed. "Please... Come back?" I couldn't believe it, I wouldn't believe it!
No. No. No. No. No.
Sorry for the delay guys, opuss wasn't letting me post anything :s
