chapter 8: crushed

Reality

First aid

Two months later

" she's not dead." I felt my eyes heavy, yet, "what the hell?" I lightly laid up, " surprised I would even see you people." I told them sarcastically of course. " what the f**k happened?"

They looked to me like they have seen a ghost, " hello? earth to crazy people?" I was stared at but uma said, " we can't believe you're alive." I asked, " yeah? Why does my head feel like a week hangover?"

Betty said, " you have been in a coma for two months." I felt my mouth drop open, " s**t. Then I should ask what did I miss?" They kept quiet, " I am not afraid to punch one of you if you don't tell me what happened, please."

Harry told me, " the bullet you were impaled with two months ago, caused a virus to form, and you are slowly dying." I asked, " is there something we can do so that I'm not suffering?" They kept quiet, " let me take a guess? The only way for me to stop suffering is death? Great just great."

I started to take out the IV's, and the sticky tabs that monitored my beat, " I'm going out." Walking to the door, Harry stopped me, " haley. Please." I sighed, " why? Can't I just live my life." Harry said, "there might be another way." Betty said, " it's up to her." I asked, " let me have time to think about it. I'll let you know if a few days."

Outside

It was bright out, that didn't stop me though, I had a book, and a Snuggie with me. And I sat on the roof. I was comfortable, so I started reading, but am I really willing to change?

I'm really worried now. But I have the rest of my life to live. I'll let them know soon. Give it time.
