As I sat there,watching her sleep like an angel,I thought about my life.When my mother and I got into fights, she was always there.Lending a shoulder for me to cry on.She had done so much for me, and I repay her by putting her in this position.Maybe I should call Taylor,and ask if he could buy some flowers for me.There was no doubt I was leaving this room.I took out my cell phone and dialed his number.
"Hello."
"Hello,Taylor?" I asked as I wiped my tears off with a tissue.
"Nope,this is Zac.Hold up,I'll get Tay... Oh Alyssa, do you know where Sam is?I called the house and no one answered. We were suppose to go out to eat somewhere, except I haven't seen her." Zac asked as I heard him munch on something.I gasped,and chocked back some of my tears.
"Zac… Sam was in an accident.I'm at the hospital right now." I informed.I heard a gasp and the munching suddenly stopped.
"Is she okay?What happened?!"He asked.
"I really can't tell you,but I need for you,Tay and Ike to get to the hospital on Main Street.If you can,please buy her a bouquet of flowers for me,I'll pay you,and bring four balloons.Anything that will make her smile,buy it.I'll see you later.Bye."I said as I clicked the "end" button and turned the cell off.
"And hurry……………"
*******
"ISAAC,TAYLOR!!" I yelled as I hung up the phone and pushed my chips aside.
"Wh…… what?? Wh…… at's wrong??" Both of them said as they caught their breath.
"Alyssa called,and she's at the hospital.Samantha was in an accident, and she wants us to stop by with flowers and all that Get well Happy crap." Zac said as he jumped off the kitchen counter and walked into the living room where his parents were at.
"Mom, dad, we're going to the hospital to visit Samantha. She was in and accident and Alyssa would like us to bring her some flowers and balloons.We'll be back around 5." Zac said as he grabbed his blue coat, and took out his wallet.
"Oh lord.Is she okay?Well,okay honey.Be back by 7! Oh, here, send her our sympathy.Buy her a bouquet of roses.45 dollars should be enough." His mother said as she waited for Walker to give her some money.
"What?Oh,I'm supplying him witht the money." Walker said as he took out a fifty from his pocket and handed it to Zac.
"Okay,we have 5 baloons,two with smiles on them,and the others with 'Get Well' on it.Two teddy bears,one bouquet of roses,and two bouquet of flowers.That's it!The total is going to come over 100 dollars!" Ike groaned as he pushed the cart in line,and waited for the old lady in front of him to figure out how much change to give the cashier.
"Hello,do you have a fresh card?"Asked the girl.She was in her early twenties, possibly 21, long hair, and beautiful. Ike nodded his head 'no' and closed his mouth.
"Zac, give me the 50 dad gave you."Ike whispered. Zac reluctantly handed him the money and waited by the exit,as Taylor got a gum from the little machines.
"Hey,aren't you Isaac Hanson?" The girl asked as she pressed some digits on the cashier.
"Ya,you a fan?" He asked.
"Not really,but my little sister adores you.If it wouldn't be much trouble,can I have you autograph.She would be majorly pleased."Ike nodded as he took his pen and signed his recipt.
"Thank you so much.Oh! That's will be 125 and 53 cents." She said as she put the recipt in her pocket.
Ike handed her a hundred,a twenty,and a ten."It's just five extra dollars,keep the change."He said as he grabbed three bags and signaled for the guys to help.Zac took the balloons and one bag,and Taylor took another.
"Can I have the room for a Samantha Ochoa?"Zac asked.
"Room 347,third floor then take a right." She informed. They all nodded and headed towards the elevator.
"Guys!I'm so glad you made it!" I said as embraced Taylor with a hug.I let go,and hugged Isaac,then Zac.
"Wow!That's a lot of stuff.How much was it all?"I asked as I grabbed my wallet out of my purse.
"One hundred and twenty-" Ike said as he recieved a slap upside the head from Taylor.
"That's okay.On us." Taylor said as he walked over to Samantha. Zac followed, and looked at her limp body.She was falling extremely ill, she was at a point where God was deciding her fate.
"She wasn't in an accident was she?" Zac said,as he broke the silence.I looked at him,and just nodded my head. He had known, he had known from the start. I became weak,and my knees caved in.I feel to the floor,as Taylor rushed to me, and held me up.I cry, I cry like a baby on his shoulders. He, on the other hand, didn't know what to do. All he did was hug me,as millions of thoughts rushed into his mind. I myself didn't know how to react. I knew she would die, but no, I wouldn't let it happen!!
*******(Samantha's mind)
'Hello,anyone out there! Why can't anyone hear me?! I'm tired of being ignored! Hey, why is Alyssa crying? Aww man, don't cry Lis.I hate when you cry.Oh, hello Zac. Sorry I couldn't be there to go eat. Why can't I open my eyes?!? Maybe later.I'm hungry,hello! Can I get something to eat! Oh well, I'll take a nap.Good night…'
*******
"Excuse me, but visiting hours are over.You can come back tomorrow." The nurse informed as she fluffed Samantha's pillow and lead us out the door.
"You guys need a ride?Since Mr.Isaac left 'cause he didn't want to miss his date with Janet." I asked as I turned the key and opened my car door.
"Sure,why not." Zac said as he slumped down in the back seat and slightly sighed.
"Alyssa,so what are you doing tomorrow?"Taylor asked as he pushed some hair out of his face.
"I'm going to work.I get out at 3:30,if you want,we can like go to the movies or somethin'." I said as I pulled out of the hospital parking lot.
"Sounds cool.I'll pick you up at your work at that time and we can go see Cruel Intentions or somethin'. Sarah Michelle Geller,woah!!" He said as he laughed.
"Perv!Anyway,you don't even know where I work." I replied as I changed radio stations.
"That's right.Where do you work?" He asked as he scratched his head.
"I work in the mall,at Strawberry four hours,and the Bok and Magazine store three hours." I replied as I pulled up at their drive way.
"Alrighty than,I'll meet you at Strawberry…… No, people'll think I'm gay..." He cut off as I busted out laughing."I'm not gay!! I'll meet you at Coda." He said as he closed the door and waved to me as him and Zac ran across the lawn and into their house.
******(Sam's mind)
'I''m tired,weak very weak.Hungry,yah!Hungry, buttered salmon sounds good right now,eww!What am I talkin' about? I'm bored nothing to,hey,what the……?'
"Samantha,take my hand,we have to go…… you have to go." A manly voice said as a glow apperead.
'No,I'm not leaving!I'm sick and weak,I'm staying here until Alyssa gets back!' Samantha shouted.
"Take my hand,and follow me" He said.
'No,I won't!' She shouted.
"Take my hand…follow." He replied softly,though roughness could be heard in his voice.
"No,I won't……I can't……" She replied weakly,she was caving in,but she had to fight it!!
"Come with me…"
'No…'
"Please come…"
'No…' She replied as her body felt as if she were a feather.
"Follow me……"
'No!'
"Yes…"
'No'
"Please come,please take my hand."
'No,I can't...'
"Yes you can……"
"Come with me"
"No!………… okay.' Samantha said as her body felt a sudden rush,and then darkness hit her,as the light was shattered by voices.Was she gone???
"DOCTOR!!Come quick……………"
