Here is chapter three.
I sit on the table, eying my bowl of oatmeal, not bothering to take a bite. My mind had drifted elsewhere.
We went to the hospital a few days ago to see what Cat's condition was. And I couldn't help but collapse on my knees in the waiting room crying when the doctors said that Cat suffered a severe blunt force trauma to the head. And they don't know if she's going to make it.
And I couldn't imagine how Cat's parents felt when they heard that their daughter could die. Seeing them break down crying just made the guilt inside of me a million times worse.
I haven't been able to sleep well since then. I would cry myself to sleep every night.
My parents and Trina noticed. They heard of Cat's accident from the school. They knew how good of a friend she's been to me since my first day at Hollywood Arts. So they knew what I was feeling.
My dad, being a cop, has been working extra hours investigating her accident.
But they had no idea what really happened. Nobody knows. They had no idea that I'm responsible for putting her in a hospital bed.
When I gave Mr Purples back to Cat's parents, they hugged me, telling me how Cat was lucky to have a great friend like me in her life. Boy little do they know.
"You still worried about Cat?" my sister Trina asked. I looked up and gave her a menacing glare. "My best friend is lying on a hospital bed, in a deep, deep sleep, unable to move, fighting for her life, not knowing if she's going to make it. What do you think?" I snapped.
"Jeez. What's your problem? I'm just concerned that's all." she said. "Well I don't need your pity." I replied back.
She just got up and went upstairs. I felt tears forming in my eyes. I can't believe I just snapped at my own sister. All this sadness, guilt, and lack of sleep is causing me to go off on my friends and family.
Trina was showing some sympathy, which was rare for her. I get up and headed up the stairs. I knocked on her bedroom door.
"Who is it?" she called out. It sounded like she had been crying. "It's me." "If you came to yell at me again then just go away." she shouted.
"No. I'm here to say I'm sorry." I replied. I heard footsteps. I took a couple of steps back when the door opened. "You're sorry?" she wondered.
"Yes. I've been so stressed lately because of Cat being in the hospital. But I shouldn't have gone off on you like that." I replied. She gave me a small smile smile and we hugged.
"I may not find Cat to be very bright, but even I know she's a strong girl. She will make it through." she tried to assure me. I gave her a small smile and nodded.
I went back downstairs to watch tv. What Trina said made me feel a little better, but it still didn't make the guilt feeling in my stomach go away.
Let me know what you thought of the chapter.
