~~~~ CHAPTER 3 ~~~~
When we got to the hospital the DR. Haistings explained she had a minor seizure, and that the seizure was caused by a massive tumor on her temporal lobe. She is concerened about a massive surgury like that at her age, and if her body could take it. The doctor said in a coconcerned voice "Girls i think it would be best to call up your parents or someone who can come stay with you while she is here."
They wouldn't let us see her for over 2 whole hours! I've never seen Emily like she was tonight. Josh called up her boyfriend, Matt, instead of comforting her like he should have been, he started trash talked me. "It's all your fault Emily and your Grandmother are in the shape their in! If you would have sucked it up and delt with your own god damn problems, maybe they would have a good fucking life! No one fucking loves you you should just go jump off a fucki- " Cameron knocked the shit out of him! Matt fell so hard the nurse had to go get him stiches! By then Emily was in hysteria and she stormed off not knowing what to do about anything, Memaw or Matt. As she was walking outside she ran into Jared. He asked her "what's wrong? What happened?" Emily told him through all the tears and was shocked when he gave her the most loving thing a person could give, a hug. I called Emily hoping she would come back, but she said "Let me just think right now I'll be back in a few, alright?"
The nurse said I could see Memaw now, and that she wasn't awake. "I wish I could tell her," everything was just crashing down on me, what if what Matt said was true? Would life be better without me around? Emily walked in with Cameron be her side. "How is she?" I couldnt do it every inch of my body felt tired and lousy. Matt's words kept ringing through my head. Cameron looked at me almost as if he knew what i was thinking, he walked over and put his hands on my shoulders and said " It's alright beautiful, everything is going to be okay. Your Grandmother is a strong woman." When he put his arms around me everything stoped, the thoughts runing through my head the pain from Randy hitting me all of it. Just gone. How could a man a barely knew make me feel so safe and strong. I felt something twinge in my stomach, at first i thought love. Boy was I wrong I ran to the trash can and puked my guts out. He comforted me and kept whispering little encouragments in my ear.
I was almost a sleep when Emily asked him "can we please have a few minutes alone with memaw?" He finally agreed after I promise him I was fine. "Just hurry I want to make sure that she's okay." When we were alone I thought that she was going to talk about all thats happened tonight. She suprised me when she said, "Do you like him?" of course i denied it, who wouldn't? She saw right through my little white lie. It was even more apparent when she noticed my blushing whenever he looked at me through the glass window. "YOU DO LIKE HIM!" Emily said in a sing-song kind of voice. I think cameron heard because he looked up at me with the cutest little grin i have ever seen, it made me just want to melt. He walked in and asked "Is everything ok?" Emily being Emily, asked Cameron, "Do you like my sister?" Cam looked me in the eye and said "yes, she's beautiful, sweet and loving. How could anyone not?" "R-Really?" I replied smiling. He wraped his arms around me then whispered just to me "Really." Emily said "well I'll stay here and y'all can go do all that fancy stuff that couples do." We went outside, but before we left I turned to my sis and mouthed "thanks! I love you sissy!" Emily winked then shooed us outside. I left feeling releaved about not having to talk about what happened at the park with randy and why I didn't tell anyone sooner.
