We reached the hospital where I got most of my blood work and tests done. My mom drove up to the front. Ethan jumped out of the car and ran and got me a wheel chair. As he ran it back down the entrance ramp i yelled to him 

“I can walk!” Even though in my head I dreaded the thought of it. I felt if I walked for a long time that I would throw up or fall over. My energy level had dropped from being able to run for miles to barely being able to walk one minute. 

Ethan shook his head as he spoke “A little ride in a wheel chair never hurt anyone, whether they are well or sick”. He spoke as he tucked the blanket over my knees and then kissed my forehead. As Ethan began pushing me to the top of the long sloped ramp my mom quickly drove off to go find a parking spot. As Ethan sat on a bench he had me facing him as he rocked the chair back and forth gazing into my eyes. I felt my body getting heavy, my energy seeping away just as time does through an hour glass. 

I fell asleep before my mom walked in. Laying there I drifted off into a dream. I was running along the beach in the darkness. The bright moon sl close to the earth that I could have reached out and touched it. African drums were playing out of the silence. My hair flew behind me as I turned around. Something was chasing me, I couldn’t see it, but it was coming. Gasping for breath i kept running, then Ethan was in front of me as I fell into his arms. He tried to get me away from the unseen danger grasping my head he looked at me his eyes dancing with fear. Running we reached Our Place. I sat at the edge of the rocks as the clear night sudden.y turned into a storm. 

Thunder roaring as lightning struck the ocean waves that were now building heavily. I LOVE YOU! I screamed to Ethan. “NO! Don’t say it like that! Your not going anywhere! Where safe her! I love you too! Thats why Im going to save you! Screaming over the loud thunder booming in the sky, my hair now drenched as the heavy drops fell over me “how, how can you save me now?” Ethan now looked at me as he touched his heart, as he did this A wave built up, Splashing over us, pulling us in to the deep ocean. I couldn’t breath, I couldn’t see, Ethan was no where to be found. As I sunk to the bottom I saw a light as a harp and music began to play. 

Suddenly I was woken up. “Eeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaa. Eeeeeeeeeee mmmmmmmmmm aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. A soft voice said my name. Looking up I saw a nurse in pink scrubs and brown hair smiling at me, bending down to my height in the wheel chair. She then spoke again “rise and shine, we need to get this test done, then you can go home and sleep. Her concerned look made me concerned too. I was scared. 

She rolled me into a room and asked my mom and Ethan to wait outside. Handing me a gown she told me “Put this on and take off your pants, you can keep your underwear on, gown open to the back. I nodded as she opened the door and shut it quietly. As I put it on quickly I spoke loud enough for Ethan and my mom to hear that they could come in now. 

Walking in I told my mom “Ethan is staying in here for the test, I need him to hold my hand, please”. Nodding her head she said, “that fine Ill tell them if they say anything about it”. As the nurse walked in again she was holding a tray, laying it down next to me. She asked Ethan to leave but my mom shook her head explaining to her that he was my boyfriend. The nurse nodded in agreement as she had me lay on my side. She rubbed antiseptic over my hip bone. 

Next she had me lay on my abdomen as she took a needle and injected it. I flinched, I hated needles and this hurt, until my whole lower back felt only pressure. Removing the needle I got up to leave but she shook her head, “no, no honey thats to numb it, I haven’t taken the marrow yet. Not saying a word I lay back down, gripping Ethan’s poor hand tighter now. 

As the nurse pulled out another needle I felt Ethan grasp my hand tight as well. Inserting it into me I felt over powering pressure as a tear fell down my cheek and I began to shake. My skin was tender to the touch. The nurse asked me “Please stop moving it will only make it worse”. After what seemed like an hour the needle was being pulled out from my hip. I lay there eyes shut. “Its ok”. Ethan told me stroking my hair. 

After being bandaged up Ethan helped me get back into my wheel chair. I felt sick and felt a headache coming on. Closing my eyes he rolled me back out to the lobby while my mom talked to the nurse. Finally she went to get the car. Packing me back into the car and returning the wheel chair was interesting because I threw up almost all over Ethan once more. After cleaning me up I was settled in the back seat with a bucket, wrapped in a blanket. I thought how can Ethan be here with me right now. I don’t understand it. Im so disgusting.

After Ethan got into the car my mom rove off talking to my Dad on her cell phone about the test and how big the needles were and when they would contact them. I couldn’t get comfortable and was glad my house was only five minutes away. Upon arriving home my mom and Ethan took me up to my room, my mom leaving me there with Ethan going back downstairs. 

Laying beside me I began to cry. “What’s wrong babe” His voice shook not understanding the random tears  developed. “I I don’t want to die”. I said falling into his arms as he embraced me. I said it again “I don’t want to die!”
