She stayed hushed, dumbfounded, and overall hurt; she let him walk out on her without a word. I immediately rushed to the hospital to see if god had spared my Jacks. I was so confused about everything. I prayed over and over again that I wouldn’t hear the worst. My stomach was in knots, I felt like I was going to throw up at anytime. I drove with a heavy heart. If she was okay and I could get her back, I planned to redeem myself and spend the rest of my life with her. I debated whether or not I should tell her about cheating on her after the fight but I didn’t want to hurt her more. I’d have to think about it. As I walked in the building, there was a nurse in the entrance talking. I overheard her talking about a woman who was in an accident and I thought she was referring to Jackie but then she said the baby would be fine. I knew then, it wasn’t Jacks. I then approached the receptionist in hopes that she would tell me what I needed to hear. …show more content…
“Yes. I am here for Jackie Monticello. Is she okay? Where is she?” My voice came off frantic. “Relax, sir.” She took a long pause. “Oh Ms. Monticello, she is in the ICU, that’s on the fifth floor. You can wait for her up there but she can’t have visitors yet. I’ll notify the doctor you are here. You’re the boyfriend right?” She seemed way too friendly to deal with people in my situation. “Yes, can you just tell me if she is okay?” I grew impatient with her. “Sir, I’m not allowed to release information. The doctor will explain
Laying on the operating table, the bright white lights above my head were giving me a headache. I could hear the concerned but stern voice's of the doctors all around me. I could feel my boyfriend clinching my hand to let me know he was there. The room was spinning. A tear or two rolled down my cheek as I worried about what would happen within the next few moments. The loud clinking of the medical equipment echoed in what seemed to be an emtpy room. I just wanted this c-section to be over with so I could go home with my little girl. I needed everything to be ok with her and with me. The longer I laid there on the table, the more concerned I became.
“Thank you, sir. I just don’t understand what’s happening, this seems so surreal...Mr. Morris, Where is Lizzie?”
“Slow down. Everything is okay. I was just concerned with one person in particular,” said Teresa, looking mad and upset; that is why Callie came to check on her.
The knowledge of being pregnant was a hard pill to swallow. Depression had finally sank in as I began to think my life was over. To add insult to injury, not only was I pregnant, but I also kept it a secret. The only person that new my big secret was my cousin. When I took my first pregnancy test she was even in the bathroom with me. As we sat in the bathroom waiting on the results I didn’t know what to think. We quietly tried to bargain to God for my pregnancy test to come back negative. After realizing my test results were positive we sat in shock. I could see the fear in her eyes like flames in a fire. With her being older than me, I begged her to take me to the doctor’s office to take an official pregnancy test. As the days passed and nights grew, my cousin
“Is she okay” he said shaking. I didn't answer him. The car ride was silent all the way their.
She was blood shot red, her eyes were closed and she was screaming so bad my ears were ringing. I grabbed her by the mouth and told her to be quiet, to open her eyes and look at me. She followed my directions and grabbed me, exclaiming that she wanted her mother back: the doctor then came in and discussed with me that they wanted to keep her. I automatically stopped him mid sentence and advised him that she would be going home with me, I refused to let her stay
My mind was filled with many questions that could not be answered. Why him and not me? How could I have been so stupid? How will I face his mother? Am I worthy to raise my daughter? While lying at the hospital I was filled with hatred and anger. I was ready to give up, and I didn’t care what happened to me.
My mom worked at the Cresco Hospital at this time, so Kerigan probably thought we were over there talking to our mom. I had twelve missed calls from her because I couldn’t pick up my phone. I couldn’t pick up my phone because I didn’t have good enough grip just with my feet and one hand. She called me one last time and I had to answer. I felt really bad that I haven’t answered any of her calls, so I answered her one last call. I knew I was risking the chance, but I had to. I leaned on the branch that I was sitting on, and answered my phone. Kerigan asked “Where are you guys?” I told her that we were in the tree and trying to get down. When I said “Down” I slipped. When I started slipping it scared Spencer and he fell backwards onto the ground. I caught myself, but Spencer didn’t. When he fell he was laughing and crying at the same time. I didn’t think he was hurt. One second he would laugh, and the next he would cry. I asked if he was okay and he said yes. I grabbed him by the arm to help him up, but he started screaming when I touched him. I then thought he broke his arm, but that wasn’t it because he could move it just fine. I was surprised I never got hurt when I
When the call came in from the hospital, my heart sank. "Mrs. Burns?" The woman continued without letting me answer. "Your husband is fine, but he's here at the hospital and insists on speaking to you," she said.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t she be alright.” Graham ran a hand through his dark hair.
“No, but please hurry.” I tossed the phone back into the seat and went back to the car. I stuck my fingers together and placed them on her limp neck in an attempt to check for a pulse. There was nothing except cold, and I stepped back away from the lifeless body and waited.
As I arrived at her apartment she didn’t answer the door, I just went in. I walked down the hall way into her bedroom where she had pills and a beer and a list wrote out to make sure this would be her last recipe, a recipe of death. All I could do was yell, “What the hell are you thinking, he is not worth your life!” I started grabbing the pills, putting them back in a container and taking the beer. I hid the pills in my purse and went to get water. I begged with her to drink the water and remind...
“I am going to check on the kitchen, if you are going to be okay?”
In this moment, everything seemed right in the world, unfortunately, that is when things go for the worst. Jumping on the bed was becoming tedious, so we began doing fun tricks on the bed. As I recall Ruby saying “Hey Selena watch this!” She stood on the bed a bit close to the the edge, kicked her feet up into the air. She attempted to do a handstand, and that handstand was perfect. She held her handstand a second too long as she lost her balance and fell off the bed. On her way down, I heard a smack as she hit my dad’s nightstand. I had no idea what had just happened. The silence pierced my heart, I knew something terrible happened to Ruby. I was afraid to look at Ruby, tears started to fill up my eyes. After a few deep breaths, I built up the courage to look over the bed. I see my younger sister lying there, half of her face was covered in blood as it dripped on my parent’s burgundy carpet. The gash on her forehead was bleeding uncontrollably. The ladybugs on her dress, that was once before mine, became less and less visible as the blood drenched her dress. I screamed for my brothers to come quickly. I jumped off the bed and ran to be at her side. I hugged Ruby in my arms and gently laid her head on my lap. The blood flowed onto my lap, my dress was saturated in the dark red blood. I didn’t care, I just wanted to hold her in my arms. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I spoke to her. “Ruby please wake up. I am so sorry.” I said. Repeatedly I apologized to her and begged her to awake. She didn’t open her eyes. Both of my brothers came rushing in. The second they saw us both on the floor surrounded by Ruby’s blood, they were shocked. Their mouths opened so big and wide but no words came out of either of them. It took them a few seconds to take in the image they saw before their eyes. When they did, so many questions were
It was in those precious moments that my life flashed before my eyes, I began to pray and tried my best to remain calm. I reached for my husband's hand and watched a tear roll down his face. His face was pale and I knew he was trying to hide the panic in his expression. My mom was in the room and also a witness to this tragedy. We had lost our first baby early in the pregnancy. I couldn't imagine getting all the way to the end of this pregnancy without reaping the benefits, it seemed unbearable. After what seemed like an eternity, my daughter let out a soft cry and color flushed to her small body. I was a roller coaster of emotions, scared, sad, upset, ...
