The Hardest Part of This Is Leaving You
Alone in The Dark
My brain didn't acknowledge that I had in fact pass out. Didn't notice the screams, others and mine. Didn't recognize the pain of my body comforting and falling down the stairs. Or the bright lights of the ambulance or the police car or the fire truck. All of the lights and sounds pointed to one thing as far as my nearly unconscious mind was concerned. I was dying.
I was of course, really startled when I woke up in a hospital bed.
The room was empty. No sign of mom or Frankie or Mikey. I didn't expect everyone to drop everything to check on me. Well I sort of did and I knew it was selfish, but I was always in so much pain and I only ever saw mom for stretches of five minutes. I was lonely I guess, and I was sick so I thought that waranted well, people acknowledging my fucking existence. I opened my eyes and looked around the room waiting for a doctor or nurse to walk in. My eyes were drooping again as I waited. I let out a strangled 'Hello' as I looked again around the room. It was so dark and quite except for the bleep bleep bleep of the machines.
I wondered if I was in the ICU and that was why noone was in the room. I reason I was yawning and deciding to sleep once again.
The next time I woke there was a nurse tinkering with my IV. She smiled at me mumbling something like 'are you okay hun' I nodded
"W...where's my mom" I croaked out hoarsly. She looked at me pained.
"Hun.... She never showed up there was a cute boy but family only" she finished hooking me up to an IV labeled 'Chemotherapy'.
" You're lucky, the cancer hasn't spread, you just didn't eat enough, the anaemia kicked in and you passed out, but you'll be okay soon darlind" she finished leaving the room and me alone and dark. I fell asleep again, and only remember a hand squeezing mine shortly after and a voice I knew well but couldn't place whispering 'You'll be fine I won't let them get you' quietly into my ear.
