My Last Breath
Part Twelve
I sat in
the waiting room, my head down, my eyes closed. I barely even
looked up when the nurse called my name. "Leighlani,
Leighlani, Leighlani." Over and over, as if i hadn't
heard the first time.
"What?"
"Your sister is here. And Declan's brother. They are
downstairs in the lobby."
"What?"
"Yeah, they're all dressed up."
"Oh my God."
"You should hurry. They wanted you to escort them to
Declan's room."
I sprinted downstairs. Even though i was exhausted.
"Katrina! Eric!" I finally caught sight of
them, although i did get lost running around the hospital.
"Lani," Kat said, gripping my arm.
I looked at her dress. It was beautiful, purple and
gold. The one we picked out together at Bloomingdales, even
though we couldn't really afford it, we used my father's credit
card. He'd kill us if he knew.
She smiled. She looked absolutely gorgeous. Her hair was
spiraled, her makeup was perfect.
Eric was wearing a tuxedo, his tie purple, matching Kat's. He
looked really handsome too.
"Declan wanted to see me before prom, i think."
"Yeah, he did.. How did you know?!"
"Something about him telling me, 'Oh, Eric, i wish i
wasn't in the hospital, i could see you go to prom,' kinda
gave it away." He smiled. "So where is
he?"
"Follow me," I chirped
excidedly.
I led them upstairs and knocked
on Declan's door. I looked in. He wasn't
there.
I
was confused. I ran around and tried to find a nurse.
"Excuse me, where's Declan?!"
"Oh. Um.. He had to go through an emergency operation.. I'm
sorry."
"What?! Well when will he be done?"
"I'm not sure. They have to remove another tumor.. But um..
Leighlani.. The chances this time are less than
half."
I collapsed. Everything was
blurry. The room was spinning. I couldn't hear anything, only a
mixed slurr of random voices, and the clunk of my head hitting
the floor.
