CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I hate hospitals. I hate the smell and the people that work here, but what I hate most is the atmosphere of death. It’s like hospitals are the concourse of the damned. When you come here it is only a matter of time before one of these operating tables transport your ass to the afterlife. So here I am sitting in the waiting area, worried and scared to death that this hospital will be ferrying my brother and my mom to the afterlife. My mom is in serious condition from a loss of blood and shock, and Aiden is in a coma. The events of this day will forever reign supreme in my “weird shit is afoot” book. I can’t even begin to rationalize how this all started and how it’s playing out. This is way too much drama for a fifteen-year-old. It’s hard for me to relax in this uncomfortable chair, but Tony is here next to me and that makes things a little better. We both smell like smoke and sweat, but Tony is covered with soot and ash; even his hair has some ash in it. I don’t want to giggle but he looks funny with all that ash and dirt on him. Tony is always so put together, so to see him like this is very funny.

But I’m really not in a giggly mood. I guess I’m being silly trying not to think so hard about what my mom and brother may be going through in the other rooms. Still, it’s good to not be sitting here alone.

He has this look of amazement and concern on his face, like he doesn’t know but at the same time I believe he may have an idea of what happened at our house. In my mind I’m looking at him saying to myself, you may think you know but you have no idea. Not even close to an idea about what we just went through. It’s cute he’s so concerned and he probably thinks he can make things better or console me, but at the moment there is nothing he can say to make this all better. I’m mentally screwed up right now and this day will have a lasting effect on my mind for years to come. I just hope one day I will be able to sleep with the lights off again.

“Sarah? What happened?”

Why do guys do this? Keep asking questions they don’t really want to know the answer to or questions we ignore. I mean if we didn’t respond the first time then maybe that should give men a hint that the question isn’t going to be answered right now, if ever. But he did run into a burning house and pull my brother out, so I guess I can tell him something; but do I tell him the truth or make up something like a faulty socket or an iron left on a bed? I
