Everything went black. Then light popped out at me. It was a beautiful scene. But I didn't feel good at all.My head was spinning fast. I felt like I was lying down in a raft and the water was moving very quickly. It felt peaceful, but I was also anxious. What was I doing here? Why am I on a raft, floating down the river?

Doctor: Ok we need to get her to the operation room. And hurry up she's losing a lot of blood.

Doctors, what were they doing here? Who needs to be in the operation room? I wanna yell but I couldn't. I was too weak. But why?

Mom: (sobs) come on honey. Stay with me sweetie. You can make it.

Mother? What's wrong? Why was she crying? All these voices in my head made me all frustrated. I wanted to scream but something inside me held me back. The last thing I could remember was talking to Jack. What happened after that? Then all of a sudden, everything turned black again.

-12 hours later-

Me: (groans)

What's happening to me? Where am I? How long have I been here? Where's everybody? Last thing I remember before blacking out was that I was talking to Jack. Then all of a sudden, someone came out with a gun and tried to shoot Jack. I forgot what happened after that. I opened my eyes and people in uniforms are in and out of the room that I was in. Then it hit me, I was in the hospital. But why? I see my parents rushing in and they looked worried. This is very weird.

Mom: OMG! Are you ok? I'm so worried.

She was shouting and hugging me tightly. Oh. Too tightly.

Me: Mom. I'm fine. What happened anyway?

My mom looked at my dad. They hesitated for a bit but they'll know that I'll probably find out anyway.

Dad: Your uncle saw you and Jack talking. He got his gun and tried to shoot Jack.

Mom: But you jumped in front of him and got shot.

Me: Yup. I remember now.

Mom: Honey. Everything is-

Me: Where are they?

They looked at each other, then at me in a confused look.

Dad: They meaning who?

Me: Uncle and Jack. Where are they?

Mom: Outside why?

Me: I wanna see them. Now.

They looked at me and were probably thinking that I was crazy. I know that I'm putting myself at risk. I just need to get some answers.

Dad: Alright. But we're going to be in here with you incase you need anything ok?

Me: Thanks Dad.

He came over and kissed me on the forehead. My mom and I watched as he walked out the door to go get my uncle and Jack. I felt bad for my mom. I put her in a lot of misery. She's in the corner crying because I could've been dead right now for saving someone's life.

Me: Mom. I'm fine.

Mom: Look, you know I have nothing against Jack. But what was he doing there, he was almost killed.

I wanted to tell her but I didn't know which problem to tell. Health is important so I decided to talk to her about dad.

Me: I just needed someone to talk to about dad. I've been worried about him lately.

Mom: What do you mean by that? Why are you worried?

I started to tear up again. Jack is right. I have to tell someone before it's too late.

Me: I mean, he's getting older now and he's still smoking and I have two years until graduation. But I'm scared that he won't make it.

As I was crying, she came to me and gave me a hug for comfort.

Mom: I also tried telling him to stop but he won't listen.

Me: I just don't wanna lost him at an early age you know.

Mom: I know. No kid wants that to happen.

We sat there hugging each other while I was crying. The door opens and I quickly wiped off my tears. I saw the three men walk into the room. I am about to face one of my worst enemy. But it doesn't matter. I have to know why he tried to kill Jack. This is my best friend. After I'm done talking to him and out of this hospital, I'm going to kill him.
