Second
Chances
Chapter 2
"..Mom?" I whispered. My voice was becoming
more and more hoarse.
The lady walked over to the hospital bed and rested her
cold hand on mine. I could now get a better view of her.
She was gorgeous. She had silky brown-auburn hair that she
french braided back into one braid. Her blue eyes sparkled
when she smiled quietly at me. When she did this, I saw a
dimple appear on her left cheeck. I smiled back. But..I
couldn't remember her. However, I really was curious to
why I was wrapped up in a hospital bed.
"Please tell me what happened." I whispered.
"Please."
Her blue eyes met mine, and she spoke smoothly and calmly.
"Anna, you are fifteen. You have brown hair, and blue
eyes. JUst like me." She took a shaky breath.
"You had me drive you to Jake's house. You seemed
calm at the time an-"
I cut her off, "Jake? Is he a friend?"
My mother stared at me. "No, Anna. He's your
boyfriend. He's such a gentleman. You always got this
dreamy look across your face when you talked about how he
held you. And well, he said you walked up to him. You
looked upset, and he leaned in to kiss you an-" I
touched my head where it hurt. All of a sudden I had a
flash. My head slapped against the cold
pavement.
"And well, you had a heart attack. Being the amazing
man Jake is, he carried you back to our house. Of course,
he had already called 911."
Anna? Anna? Anna?I remembered someone's voice
drifting off.
However, I felt like something was wrong. There was
something missing in the story.
"He told me how you fell on the pavement so hard, and
you started bleeding. And he was so worried,
Anna."
Then she started to sniffle. I squeezed her hand.
"Mom, it's okay. Look, I'm okay."
She smiled again, and I noticed the nurse even tearing up
as she sat in the corner of the pale room.
Then NUrse Katherine spoke," Anna? Would you like to
meet Jake?" She said softly.
"Yes." I whispered.
Then she opened the door.
