Chapter 32
Then I saw him being quickly wheeled in a room, bloody and unconscious: Derek. But that couldn;t be Derek. No, it;s not. I started to follow him, but a doctor told me I had to stay in the waiting room. All because I wanted to go on the carousel.
I waited in the waiting room (cause that;s kinda what you do there). But when it reached 10:45, I figured I should call my mom. The only place I could call her was outside, under the little awning. I explained everything, when I returned to the waiting room, Derek;s family was there: his dad, mom, and Danielle (holding her much rounder stomach).
Derek;s Mom: Emma, why are you here?
--- Her voice was filled with sincerity, but her eyes were full of anger.
Emma: I felt I needed to be here. [clenches fists behind back]
Derek;s Mom: If you;re tired, you can go home.
Emma: [fake smile] I;m ok.
Danielle: Emma, why dont you come to the cafeteria with me? I;m thirsty.
Thank God for Danielle, I thought I was gonna attack that woman.
Emma: You;re not really thirsty, are you?
Danielle: No, I;m hungry though.
Emma: Danielle, this is gonna sound weird, but you and Jake must really be in love. I think I love Derek, but I don;t know.
Danielle: You do.
Emma: How do you know that?
Danielle: The way you look at him, your eyes drift towards him whenever he;s around. And you know what, he loves you too. [puts arm around her in a sisterly way]
Emma: He told me he did.
Danielle: Then don;t worry about it.
Emma: Dani, what if he doesn;t make it? What if the surgery goes horribly wrong?
--- She was silent for a few seconds.
Danielle: He is strong.
Danielle ate her food, and I sipped on an iced tea. It was 11 when I started to feel exhausted. I said my goodbyes, and skated home. The rain was letting up, but still there to dampen my clothing. That night I prayed for Derek, to get through the surgery. I didn;t dream that night. I only slept.
That morning I woke up, in my pajama shorts and t-shirt. My dad was in his painting studio, and my mom was drinking coffee and making. . . .pancakes? She hasnt made pancakes in forever.
Emma: Morning.
Mom: Good morning. I;m making pancakes, do you want any?
Emma: One please.
It was still raining outside, drop drop drop. The sky was crying for me, it sounded childish, but true.
Emma: Is he ok? [I asked, still staring out the window]
Mom: [grabs syrup] Emma, we;ll visit him today.
I didn;t like the way it sounded. I just ate my pancakes in silence and got ready for my trip to the hospital.
