Hey, guyzzz. :3 I guess I have more free time now, fuck yeah! Let's get started. I think I have a ton of potential for this story. :P
As the song ended I listened as it faded out. I was about to change it when my mom called my name.
"Bryce?" She started as she opened the door.
"Yeah?"
"Well, grandma's in the hospital… She's in severe condition… She had a heart attack."
Right as she said these words my world collapsed, I felt my heart ripped to shreds, my lungs collapsed. I was now hardly breathing. All I could do was nod my head as she finished. She closed the door leaving me alone with my thoughts about the new news given to me. It had to be a dream, but I knew it wasn't. I stayed silent as I felt the hurt within me grow. I laid down now in shock. How did this come to be? As I just sat there I slowly started to fall asleep.
The Next Day
I again woke up feeling like shit. I took a shower, brushed my hair and teeth, and got dressed. The day was a blur. I was too focused on how my grandma was doing. "How the FUCK did this happen." Classes passed and I kept getting asked by teachers to stay behind and they all asked what was wrong, but I lied and said everything was ok. It's not okay. As the seventh bell rang I quickly exited the room before running to the hospital. I ran around the corner of the store and ran for about five more minutes before I finally got there. I entered and felt my anxiety rising as I neared the front desk.
"Umm, I'm here to visit Norma Richard…"
"Oh, ok. I'll lead you to her room, but I must warn you. She is in worsening condition today may be her last day."
My eyes widened as she said the last sentence. I followed her slowly to the fifth floor. We arrived at my grandma's room, 2b. I readied myself before the nurse opened the door.
"Here we are!"
As I looked at the sight before me my heart broke. I never expected this. She looked horrible.
"Ahh, there's my grandson!" She said excitedly while coughing a bit.
"Hi grandma." I smiled. This wasn't a fake smile though; my grandma is the only one who has officially been here for me my whole life.
I sat next to her and held her hand. She told me stories about when she was young and about her own life experiences. I grew up listening to these stories that I would miss dearly when she's gone. She continued telling her stories about hard and happy times in her life. As she went on I noticed that her voice was getting fainter with each sentence. She hacked up a storm before starting…
"Sonny, my time is up. I just want to let you know that even if I die I'm always in your heart. No matter what I'll still be there for you. You look so handsome." She coughed again before giving away her last breath.
She died at 6:23 PM at the Rose Hospital on Northern St. At this point I felt the hot tears run down my face and drop onto the floor. My hand was still in hers. I slowly put her hand by her side. I just sat there, bawling my eyes out as I had just witnessed my grandma die before my eyes. I got up slowly as the nurse arrived and politely asked me to leave. As I left I made my way slowly while listening to So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold – So Far Away (Really good song.)
Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say but you're so far away
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know
As the song ended I arrived home. I quickly when in and went to my room and just lay down. Tears stared to well up in my eyes and I cried myself to sleep… I started to dream about the good times I had with my grandma. The multiple times we went to the park, her stories, and the way she comforted me after I was sad or wounded.
So viewers… I hope you enjoyed (NO I DON'T GET TIRED OF SAYING THIS!). And please review. Follow if you really liked it. :3 There's more to come!
