For eight months i've been preparing for this day, the day i will write my scholarship exams. My name is Lina, i'm 19 years old, i live with my mom Daniella and my Aunt kourtney in rapid city, south dakota, well you might wonder why i didnt say anything about my dad, well my mom said he was long gone.
I got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, took my bath and got dressed, i went to the dinning for breakfast but my mom and Aunt left for work, they work 22 hours everyday to provide for our daily needs, we were so poor that we ate once a day, sometimes when things were good he ate twice a day, but we are a happy family.
I dished the food and starting eating, then i heard a knock from the door, i went and opened the door and saw my crazy, stupid, fun friend Andrea. she's been my friend my whole life, she was the daughter of my mom's late friend. Andrea lived with her Dad's sister, Aunt Dawn, who those nothing but gamble, drink and smoke. 'hey idiot' Andrea said, i gave her a stern look and and said 'foolish girl' while stuffing the food in my mouth. she also joined me too eat, then she said 'Lina, am scared' i look at her 'for the exams or what???' she replied 'not the exams, its about Aunt Dawn, lately she doesn't come back home on time, even if she does, she doesnt eat a thing and i always find her with some strange pills' Lina replied 'what! do you think shes on drugs' Andrea nodded. Lina said 'after the exams today we will go to your house.
After they wrore the exams, Lina and Andrea went to Andrea's house, she found the place messed up and the room smelt bad, the scent of alcohol, sweat and blood filled their nostrils, Lina said 'how do you survive here Andrea' while wrinkling her nose. they moved further into the room and found Aunt Dawn sleeping on the floor, with bottles of cough cyrups, some pills, cigarattes and alcohol, Lina bent to pack the mess. Andrea reached for her Aunt, but then when she touched her, her body was cold, then Lina screamed and said 'Andrea, blo.....bo.....blood!! she turned to see blood on where Aunt Dawn layed, Andrea turned her arouned, then they found out she was stabbed. both girls were terrified, Andrea was shattered, while Lina ran outside to look for help. but the street was empty as if no one lived there.
Lina went ahead to the next street, there a car hit her, it was a slight hit, so she stood up infront of the car, crying and saying please help! please help!! then a young man, who was tall, well-built, with broad shoulders, pink pale lips, dark brown eyes, dark thick hair and a hot iron skin came out of the car, for a moment she was speechless, then she remembered the situation, she said 'plea...plea...please help' a voice from the back seat of the car said, 'is everything ok' then the young stranger replied 'yes' then left me. i begged him for help but he just zoomed off.
I then called my mom and met some boys who helped us rush Aunt Dawn to the hospital, on our arrival she was immedately operated on, and then mom, the police and Aunt Kourtney came. I explained everything we saw to the police. Andrea cried and sobbed in Aunt Kourtney's arms, while mom went to the hospital's chapel to pray.
I went out to take some fresh air, then i suddenly remembered the stranger and his rude behaviour and i got angry, i went to the cantine bought some food for everyone, Andrea managed to eat some. then after four hours the doctor came out, and we all stood waiting for what he will say, then he am said 'she is alive' a sigh of relief came to us but then he continued 'she is in a comma'. the relief suddenly dissapeared from our faces. Mother said 'will she recover' the doctor replied 'we are not 100% sure' Andrea said 'can i see her now' the doctor replied 'yes, but only you' Andrea went into the ICU. Her Aunt was in a really bad state.
she said 'Dear Aunt, please wake up, i miss you, you always get angry at me and i know you hate me, but i love you Aunt, please get well soon aunty Dawn, i love you.
