"Ember?  Ember?!" I jump, as it was alarmingly close to my ear!
"I'm up!  I'm up!!  Jesus...."I sigh, looking up at the ceiling, forgetting about the person yelling in my ear.  I was mulling over my dream...I was in the hospital when....Ow!  My head hurts....Wait!  Thats not my ceiling!  Whats that beeping?  I jump out of bed and give a cry of pain.  I look down to the source and there was a needle in my wrist.  I reach down to pull it out when I hear someone shout "Don't!" from the corner.  I look numbly to the source of the shout to see my two best friends in the corner, looking terrified.  "Miss Thomas, sit Down please, before you rip your I.V. out." The nurse says calmly as she walks in the door and over to my side of the bed.  She helps me into the bed as I stare at her face in a stupified silence. 
"Why am I in the hospital??"I finally ask, watching her.
"You hit your head on a hospital bed and got a concussion." She says not wanting to give me the truth.  I could see it in the way she avoided my stare. "You'll be good enough to leave tonight!  I'll have to call your dad, to check you out."  She says with finality in her voice. I didn't feel like arguing anyway. She nods, smiling and leaves out the way she came.
"Anna!  Mistii!  Wait.  What are you doing here?  It's Friday!  You too should be in-" I'm cut off by Anna.  "Relax Em!  Missing one day of school isn't going to kill our permantant records. Plus it's a Friday!  Like anyone does anything on Fridays."  She seems to relax from her terrified position and come sit on her hospital bed.
"So how is your boyfriend?"I ask and it's Mistii who answers.  "The usual.  Using her for her computer."  She rolls her eyes and plops on the bed as well.  "He is not!  I...I believe he loves me." Anna says, and I roll my eyes.  "Yea right!  What about yesterday when he went over to your house without even waiting or telling you?"  Mistii asks accusingly.  I sigh and turn up the news and holds the speaker to my ear, even though I loved the way we could go from terrified lkike that to a stupid, best friend arguement. "...an incident cause by a theif ring of adolescents.  A boy, calling himself Hajj, was caught stealing medical supplies.  We think he might have had help, either by having them in the hospital with him or throwing them from a low level window.  We do know he was alone when he ran from the police...we'll keep you up to date on that story.  In other news....."My hand drops the speaker and it falls to the bed in silence.  My eyes get cloudy, and my friends arguement goes in and out of focus. 
"He and his sister are in on it! Your just..."

"He loves me!  I was just being paranoid when...."
"No!  He's....Ember?" Mistii watches me as I sway my head back and forth, trying to keep it up, because it was getting too heavy. My heart monitor beeps more rapidly.
"Whats going on?!" I hear Anna scream.
"Shut up, Anna!  Get the nurse!" Mistii yells.
I feel a weight get off my bed and someones hands grasp my arms and start shaking me. "Em!!!  What's wrong?!"
My heart felt like it was going to explode, it felt like a million questions were running through my head...Is mom dead?  Whats going to happen now?  Why is this happening?  Where is dad?  How am I going to get home?  Does dad know?  Does dad care?  Whats going on?....I couldn't answer anything, as if it were going to fast to catch.  I started to feel so nervous I just wanted to scream and cry and hold on to something.  So I did.  I just started to scream as if I were screaming at that boy who killed my mother.  After I screamed, it just scared me more so I just broke down and let out all the tears I had held for the last 6 years.  I held on to Mistii like she was my mother, if I let go she'd be gone. 
The nurse came running in and pried my hands off Mistii.  She said something to Mistii and Anna and they left.  She finally got me to quiet down but my heart rate was still high and I still felt so nervous I wanted to scream, but I knew better.  The nurse had given me a pain shot through my I.V.  I just layed there concentrating on the relief flowing through my veins.  I drifted off to sleep.  When I woke up I felt drowsy but good.  I look over at the window and realize it was morning.
