Rover and Lucie and Olive ran out to me. They both put their arms around me and helped support me into the Land Rover. It probably looked like an ambulance had taken me away, to the Verne’s. Even the parents came out and were watching. Once Lucie drove away and Olive drove me off, I knew that I was not going to lose my purse the next time.
I awoke to the doctor taking an examination of me. I turned over to see the time.
“Oh no! It’s already eleven I have to go to school!”
“Oh no you’re you took much of a beating from yesterday. Now what time was it that you forgot to take the pill?”
“It was like an hour late because I forgot to take it in fifth period and instead I swallowed it in sixth.”
“Well that’s why yesterday it was so bad. Tomorrow you can go to school but instead of having the pills on you I’m giving them to the nurse so you’ll be called out of fifth period, which is gym so it’s a perfect time, and you’ll go take it. Ok?”
“Ok.”
“Now get some rest and tomorrow you’ll be able to see your friends, the Verne’s again.”
“They aren’t my friends I just happened to be around them when I started coughing.”
“Alright now go to sleep.”
I felt the sleeping gas instantly and fell right asleep. I dreamt of nothing but school and what it’d be like again tomorrow.
“Wake up or you won’t be able to go to school.”
I looked over at Olive who was cleaning the room, and then I turned over and saw Lucie trying to hand me my medication. I took the pills, hoping that today would end better than yesterday.
“Lucie do you think today will be better?”
“Of course my lady.”
“Olive?”
“Yes my lady?”
“Do you want to pick out my clothes for today?”
“Of course my lady!”
Olive picked out a very cute outfit that included a small black and white plaid skirt that was midway for my thighs, a shirt that was white with black bows throughout, white tights, and black dress shoes. It was definitely my taste of clothing.
“That is the best outfit ever!”
“Why thank you my lady.”
I ate some breakfast that Olive cooked up and Lucie told me that they had already given the nurse her instructions and soon enough I was driving off to school. It wasn’t long till I reached the school, parked my car, and saw Willow and her friends hanging out by Bryan’s truck. I started to walk over but was immediately stopped by Puppet and Devin who had come up to me.
“Um, hello.”
“Hey we were told to check on you today by our parents, you know because their doctors.”
“Oh, yeah, I’m fine. I just didn’t take my pills on time but other than that I was ok.”
“That’s good because we were all worried for you.”
“No need to be, I can handle myself. But I appreciate it greatly.”
Puppet and Devin just kind of stood there watching, as if to wait and see if I would cough but I didn’t so they nodded and walked off. I walked over to Willow and the group and they all had wide eyes.
“What?”
“Puppet and Devin just talked to you…they’ve never talked to anyone, ever!”
“Oh it was nothing, their parents are doctors.”
“So they’re your doctors?”
“No but I had an attack yesterday and I happened to come across their place first and I guess I was pretty lucky.”
“Yeah you’re very lucky!”
“It was nothing, Keller; they were just making sure I was ok.”
Everyone shook their head and we all laughed. Then the bell rang and soon enough we were off to our classes. The day went by and fifth period was starting, I went off to the locker room and once again I got an instant someone-is-looking-at-me stare. I turned around and Puppet was looking at me while getting her shorts on.
“Hey, do you know what we’re doing for gym?”
“I think we’re playing dodge ball again, do you want me to keep an eye out for you? Considering what happened yesterday in gym.”
“That’s alright; I’m not going to be able to do gym this year. My doctor told them I should stay on the side and just watch if possible. Besides during this period they have me go to the nurse to take my pills.”
“You take the pills so you can go through the day without coughing?”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever been to school?”
“Only if you call school staying at home in bed your whole life and a personal tutor comes in once a week and stuff things in your head.”
“You have it pretty tough but not as much as we do.”
“What do you mean?”
Puppet looked as if she realized she said too much and shook her head and left. I decided not to push it and left too. I sat down and watched as the game began and I wanted to play too but I guess when you’re dying you’re dying. I started to watch what Puppet was doing and Tristian who was right beside her. Tristian was so busy knocking out kids, which was really cool from my point of view, that he didn’t see Puppet was struggling to keep up. She would look down for a second and look back up and there would be ten balls flying at her. Everyone was trying to take her out because she was the best girl and Tristian had the same problem because he was the best guy. All of a sudden, out of nowhere a girl had threw the ball a little off on Tristian and Puppet’s team, and it was aiming right for Puppet.
“Puppet, the ball!”
Puppet heard me just in time because she turned around and caught it. It was actually a quick move and I was very surprised.
“Good *cough cough* oh no…”
Puppet and Tristian both turned both turned and looked at me. The next thing they did was like an action movie move. They ran over to me, balls were flying barely missing them, and people were braking up to let them threw. If that was the last thing I saw, I’d think it be a pretty cool thing before I died, but I wasn’t ready today.
“I’m *cough cough* fine *cough cough* you guys.”
Tristian and Puppet spared no time, Tristian picked me up as if I were a sick baby and Puppet told the teacher they would take me to the nurse. With no expense we headed off to the office. Puppet was right be my side, making sure nothing hurt. Tristian was running fast for a guy who was carrying a 130 lb. seventeen year old girl. My locks were flowing downward and my pale face had gotten paler, well that’s what Puppet kept saying to Tristian.
“She needs help!”
Puppet was yelling as the office staff was clearing so we could get to the nurse. Now I was coughing up blood and not just little amounts, a lot. The nurse was giving me the pills and coughing medicine and trying to get me to keep still but I knew I couldn’t just lay down or I’d drown in blood so I sat straight up and she gave me a bowl where I could cough in. After half an hour went by I was back to normal and I decided to lie down. Tristian and Puppet were by my side telling the nurse, who was trying to get them to leave, that they wouldn’t because their parents told them to watch out for me.
“Are you alright?”
It was the first time Tristian had actually spoke sincerely, looked directly in my eyes, and considered me as a person instead of a bug or something.
“Yes, I am alright. I can withstand this much, this isn’t the first time. But I do not wish for you to stay here and not have fun in your sixth period.”
Puppet giggled and smiled.
“Silly, we wouldn’t want to be in sixth period and worry about you. I think we’ll be fine right here, beside school might be fun for you but it isn’t so much for us.”
Tristian didn’t even acknowledge Puppet but kept watching me. I smiled at Puppet’s joke and she took my hand and bent down beside me. It was kind of nice to be surrounded by someone else rather than those mean nurses at home. The though made me sigh with relief.
“Well what do we have here?”
My doctor came in and looked at me then at Puppet and Tristian. When I told him I wasn’t friends with the Verne’s he trusted me, but now I could see a wave of untrustworthy come across his face.
“They saved me and brought me here. They’ve been here ever since.”
Tristian and Puppet stood up and shook hands with my doctor then sat back down on the chairs the nurses had gotten them.
“Well isn’t that nice of them. Isn’t your father and mother, Mr. William Verne and Mrs. Sally Verne?”
“Yes that is them.”
Tristian was still watching me but talking to the doctor. I smiled in reassurance I was ok and he hesitated but looked up at my doctor.
Puppet was checking how hot my forehead was and went to go get me a drink of water. My doctor asked if he could be alone with me for a private manner, Tristian nodded and left the room. Doctor sat down beside me and he took a hold of my hand, I could see this wasn’t going to be good news and instantly I thought he was going to say I couldn’t go to school.
“No, I’m going to keep coming to school. I will not live the rest of my life trapped in that foul mansion with those horrible nurses and maids. I want to explore what I can before I die; it is not fair if you tell me I can’t have at least one thing done on my list.”
My list only included four things: get a best friend I could trust with any secret, confront my parents how I think they should’ve been there for me, go to school and experience as much as I can like a normal teenager, and fall in love with the handsomest guy in the world. I made the list up when I was nine so it sounded a little young and childish but I still wanted to do those four things.
“My lady it’s not that.”
“Then what is it…I don’t care about a wheelchair or if I have to take special classes so spit it out.”
I did not care I was being mean, it wasn’t right for me to not have a regular life. There is a saying my grandmother used to say which stated “Don’t be mad at the parts of your body that can’t move be glad of the ones god gave you that can operate.” Now it just seemed like a big safety net she had put up in my mind from breaking down like I was starting to do in front of my doctor.
“I got a call from the doctor over in London that I sent you analysis to, he says they’re the worst he’s ever seen.”
Oh no, I knew what he was heading to so I spared him the speech.
“How long do I have?”
My doctor, who has been my doctor for nine years now, started to whimper. He was such a great man and I took him in as my father when I was eight, giving him pictures of Him, Olive and Lucie, and me with a beautiful sunset and rainbows everywhere. Too bad I’ll never
