Living the Life chapter 5

The next morning Alice and her mom rushed to Alex’s house. They knocked on the door and Alex’s dad opened the door. He looked tired. Alice pushed by him and ran into the house and into Alex’s room. Alex was lying on the floor motionless, just like in her dream.

“SOMEONE HELP! ALEX IS HURT! CALL 9-1-1! QUICK SHE NEEDS MEDICAL HELP RIGHT AWAY!” everyone came rushing into Alex’s room.

“I’ll get the phone. Alice, tell your mother to start the car.” Alex’s dad said. “Alice you are going in the ambulance along with Alex’s mother. Keep them safe for me. We’ll meet you at the hospital.” The ambulance came in about 5 minutes and took Alex, Alex’s mother, and Alice away to the hospital. Alice’s mom and Alex’s dad followed behind in a car.

At the hospital, they took us to a room that was in the back wing. They hooked Alex up to machines that kept her breathing steady. Alice was sitting by Alex the whole time until she had to leave. They did tests on Alex and took her blood and everything just like in Alice’s dream. But this time...they found a match.

After a few hours of operating on Alex, people were let into her room again, but only two at a time. Alice and Alex’s mother went in first. Alice ran over and sat down next to Alex. She was still asleep, and she looked so peaceful.

Everyone got a chance to see Alex, and then the doctors came out of the room.

“Are the family members of Alex here?” The nurse asked.

“Yes, that’s all of us.”

“Well, Alex is doing very well. She is going to need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate. But then she will be able to go home with all of you again. You are allowed to visit her everyday until she goes home. She will be on antibiotics for the next few months, so you need to make sure that you give her that everyday.”
“Okay, will do. Thank you for all your help with my little girl.” Alex’s mom said. After saying their last goodbyes to Alex the family was on their way again.

After the two days were up, Alex was taken home. She was told just to rest in bed for a few days until she felt better. Alice and Alex decided to see each other everyday until they die. They spent so much time together that they were practically sisters. They spent everyday after school together. They got really close and told each other everything that was happening in their lives. Everything was working out fine until one day, everything possible went wrong.
