I remember the night my parents died.
I'd come home from track practice, and at about 7:30 we got a call from the Sheriff saying mom and dad had been in an auto wreck. I can still feel the gut wrenching feeling I felt the second I heard the news. Adrenaline pumped into my system and I dashed out the door; I ran the 2 miles to the hospital and darted in the door.
"I need to see the Curtises," I panted to the nurse.
"Down the hall, to room 126…" She said.
I darted to the room and ran in. It was like I was suddenly sucked into a time warp. I felt dizzy and nauseous. I saw my mom lying on a hospital bed with tubes stuck in her nose and mouth. She still looked beautiful, her hair was still auburn, and her complexion still creamy, and her cheeks were still rosy. I felt my eyes swell and allow tears to escape. I looked at my dad who was full of blood, I ran over and grasped his hand, stroking it.
"Pa…" I sobbed.
"Don't leave me…don't, don't leave us…" I cried again. I felt a strong hand on my shoulder, I looked up to see Darry and the gang.
Soda and Pony spent the night bawling, Darry just sat in the hospital room chair, his face was expressionless. I spent the night by my mothers bed side, praying to God and bartering with him.
I fell asleep and was woken up by people rushing in around me "The heart monitor, check it, check it!" Someone screamed. I jumped up.
I saw my mothers heart monitor go flat line. I looked at her body, it seemed to sink into the sheets a little, letting her final breath of life out. I stared at her for a moment, in shock and disbelief.
The doctors piled around mom, trying to give her CPR.
I was off in my own world, staring at the doctors, but not really seeing them. My mind was blank.
Suddenly, another heart monitor went off, I turned to my dad, and doctors rushed to his side. I just stared, with the same expressionless face and the same blank mind. I felt nothing.
I watched the doctors try to bring my parents back to life, but I knew it was no use.
Well, I definitely like this better. I know its not the same as the first chaps but it DOES tie in later. Everything will make sense in the next chapter. I know this chapter had nothing to do with chapter 3 but IT WILL. Don't fret kids. Please review, I love getting reviews.
