What's
summer without love?
(Emily's POV) chapter 14
"Your mother was in a car crash", was the first thing I heard walking into the hospital. My mom was in a car crash..
Jake and I ran over to the door the nurse pointed to. A doctor stopped us. "She is in critical condition, no visitors." He said sternly. "You don't understand. I'm her daughter, i need to see her." I said quickly, trying not to cry. Jake squeezed my hand. "I understand, but she is in a bad way and we cant have anyone around right now. You can wait in the hall, if you'd like." He looked at me with pity and walked away, reading a clipboard.
I didn't listen to the doctor and reached for the doorknob. Jake tried to pull me back but i swung the door open and jumped inside. Jake sighed, looked down the hall and stepped in, closing the door behind him. I looked at my mom in disbelief. She had bandages all over her. She was cut up and had all these machines attached to her. We stood there, motionless. I felt my eyes tear up.
I couldn't talk, i couldnt move. I stood there and stared at her motionless body. She was breathing, but she looked dead. I felt lightheaded. This can not be happening. Suddenly a nurse opened the door, looking at us. "You shouldnt be in here." She said in a quiet, annoyed voice. Jake looked at me to leave, but i didnt even move my eyes. I just stood there. Jake grabbed my hand softly and led me out. I caught a last glimpse of my mom before the nurse shut the door.
As soon as we walked out to the hallway I broke down. I slid down the side of the wall and hugged my knees. I don't care if people look at me like I'm stupid. Jake sat next to me and hugged me. I just cried into his shoulder.
After I calmed down a little we just sat quietly at the wall. Jake looked down the hall to the nurse at a desk. His mom was talking to her. She turned around and saw us. Her face was just as red as mine. She walked over to us and bent down to hug me. "I'm so sorry sweetie. Everything is gonna be fine." I couldnt decide if she was telling the truth or not. What if something went wrong? She can't leave me like this.
"Your mom was driving home from the grocery store and someone hit her.." I started crying again.
We sat there for hours, I couldnt stop thinking of worst case scenarios. Just as something was fixed in my life, something else falls apart. Drowning in my thoughts, I heard a man call us. "She's stable enough for you to see her."
