I Would Walk Through Flames
Remembering
Gazzy POV
"Zachery?" He said.
"Yes?" I said, standing up.
"There's something wrong with Angela's brain"
I stared at him. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"The CAT scan showed that she has bleeding on the right side of her brain." My breath froze. "We'll have to perform emergency brain surgery on her. If we don't then she will have serious problems in the future." The doctor said.
Oh. My. God. It seems like every time there's something good happening then something bad always has to ruin it. What was I going to tell Max?
"Now?" I asked.
"Well, it's now or never." The doctor said.
"Crap." I whispered to myself. "Will she live through it?" I asked out loud.
"There's always a chance for complications especially with brain surgery." Of course…complications.
"Promise me you'll take care of her…"I whispered.
"It's my job to take care of people." The doctor said, walking out of the room.
I walked out of the room and into the waiting room. I sat down…waiting for that dreaded moment where Max would walk in and want to see Angel. I cant believe all this horrible crap could happen to a single person. I saw the automatic doors open, revealing a very happy looking Max. She walked over to me and gave me a huge hug.
"Let's go see our Angel." She said happily.
"Max wait!" I called out. Max was already starting to walk towards Angel's room. She walked back over to me.
"What is it Gazzy?" She asked.
"Max…we wont be able to see Angel for a little while…" I said sadly.
"And why not?" She asked, alarmed. "What happened?" She demanded.
"Uhh. Angel, she's in emergency surgery…" I was able to whisper.
"For what?!" She asked sternly, her eyes never leaving my face.
"Brain surgery. She has internal bleeding…"
Maxes eyes got clouded over. She sat down heavily in a seat and put her head in her hands. I sat down next to her and grabbed her hand. She looked up at me, her eyes shinning with unshed tears.
"Everything bad is happening to her. Why?" She questioned.
"I asked myself the same question…." I answered.
"Did they say how long the surgery will take?" Max asked.
"Well, it's brain surgery. It's probably gonna take a while." I obviously said.
"I hate it when stuff takes a long time!" Max said with an angry look on her face.
I held Maxes hand for the longest time. We sat in that waiting room for god knows how long! But finally a doctor came out and walked over to us, looking extremely tired.
"Angela is doing just fine. She will have extreme brain damage though.." The doctor said sadly.
"As long as she's alive and breathing!" Max said getting up.
"Can we see her?" I asked.
The doctor nodded and led us to Angel's room. We walked through the door and looked at the sleeping form of Angel. She always looked so fragile, and now she looks even worse. She still had a tube up her nose, an I.V, and other assorted wires coming from everywhere.
"Will she wake up soon?" Max asked, grabbing Angel's hand.
"We believe she will wake up in a few hours." The doctor said, rubbing his hands together.
"Thank god.." I mumbled.
Max and I stayed in Angel's room through the night. I woke up before Max. She looked exhausted. Max was basically passed out on the arm chair. I looked over at Angel and saw her eyes open and staring at me and Max. I shook Max awake. Max gave me a confused look, and I pointed to Angel. Her eyes widened when she saw that Angel was awake.
"Angel, sweetie." Max said carefully.
"Max, remember I don't think she knows who we are." I told Max. Angel looked at us and smiled. I was shocked.
"She smiled!" Max said happily, running over to Angel, sitting down in a chair next to her bed.
"Angel do you remember me?" Max asked. Angel bit her lip. She moved her hand which meant kind of. The doctor walked in and checked Angel's charts.
"Angel, do you understand me?" The doctor said loudly. Angel cringed and nodded.
"Okay. Maxine, Zachery." He called us over.
"It's Max." Max said.
"Alright Max." The doctor smiled. "The surgery we performed might have altered her memory. So she may remember some things but not others. Also we were testing her spine. And we confirmed that she is paralyzed from the waist down." He said. Max nodded, we were expecting her to be paralyzed.
"So she might remember us?" I asked.
"She may…she cant talk though. I asked someone to bring in a dry erase board. She might be able to write." The doctor said.
Some random person walked in with the board and handed it to Angel. The doctor asked her if she could write something. Angel looked at the board confusingly. She uncapped the marker and started to scribble something on the board. She lifted up the board and the word written on it was SOMETHING. I snickered when I saw the look on the doctors face.
"Well, it looks like she can write something!" I said laughing. Angel laughed a silent laugh. Max had a huge smile on her face.
"It looks like she's doing fine." The doctor said.
"Angel." Max said standing up. "Do you remember us?" She asked. Angel looked at Max and started to write something on the board. She showed us the board and what she wrote was MAX? With a question mark.
"Yea, I'm Max. Your sister." Max said, a tear of happiness running down her face.
"Do you remember me?" I asked cautiously. Angel's face scrunched up in concentration. She wrote GAZZY/ZACHERY on the board. My smile grew.
"She remembers me!" I yelled.
"She really is a medical miracle…" The doctor said in awe.
"So will she be able to come home soon?" Max asked.
"Not soon. But I think in around a month she'll be able to go home." The doctor said, smiling.
I sat down and grabbed Angel's hand. Angel looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, feeling overjoyed that my sister was better. I still wonder if she will be able to talk in the future. Max came over next to me and looked into Angel's eyes. Max was crying, but not out of sadness. This is one of those perfect moments that I will never forget.
Awwww, I made things better for Angel! YOUR WELCOME! Read&Review please!
