~~Today, April 9, 2003, a young 7th grade girl collapsed when she finished
running the shuttle run in her gym class. Her heart stopped beating and
CPR was administrated to her. The paramedics arrived shortly and she was
taken to the hospital. She was pronounced dead at around 9:30. She had an
enlarged heart. Just this morning, she got ready for school, just like she
had for the past months. She probably didn't say "I love you" to her
parents and siblings, or give them an extra hug. She probably got to
school and talked with her friends before changing into her gym clothes.
Little did she know that today would be the last day she would ever get to
see the sun rise, the wind blowing through the trees, snow on the ground,
her family, her friends, or any one else that was special to her. It would
mean so much to me if you would pray for her family and friends. I am
having such a hard time understanding why God would take the life a little
7th grader. It seems only yesterday that it was me and I know that I could
not have handled it if one of my friends died.
~~I was not even thinking of killing off Abby, but if I had been, I could never have wrote it after what happened today. Again I say, please don't take life for granted. After you read this story, please go give your parents, brothers, sisters, friends, and anyone else close to you an extra special hug. Please tell them how much they mean to you and how glad you are that they are in your life. Always remember - everything could be taken away in an instant.
~~ I was just informed right before I posted this fic that the girl that died was my best friend's old crush's sister. This chapter is dedicated to her.

Carter scooped Abby up in his arms and ran as fast as his legs would carry him to his jeep.
He somehow managed to get her into the jeep and ran around to the driver's side.
He sped the whole way to County.
He jumped out in the ambulance bay and began shouting for help.
He pulled her into his arms again and ran into the hospital.
Kerry, Susan, and Chen quickly ran up with a gurney.
"What happened?" Susan asked Carter.
"I don't know," he replied, his voice trembling, "I think she overdosed on sleeping pills."
"Ok we got it from here," Weaver shouted as they pulled the gurney to Trauma 1.
Carter watched as they did all they could to save her life. And then he did something that he had only done once or twice in his life.
He prayed.
He prayed to God that he would not take her life.
He prayed that if God had to take a life, that he would take his in place of hers.
God just couldn't take the love of his life.
He just couldn't.

I am sorry this chapter is so short, but I really didn't feel like writing much. Normally writing makes me feel better but not today. Please review.
