It's amazing how someone's life can change in the blink of an eye. You might be sitting in your room reading a book and hear that sound. First, if you're like me and your dad is a firefighter, you hear on the scanner that there's been an accident. Second, the sirens, you hear them and you wonder where they're going and if everyone you know is okay and you just pray that it's not someone you know and if it is, you pray that it's not a terrible accident. Third, ringing, you hear your phone ringing and it's an unknown number. You're looking at your phone trying to determine whether or not to answer. I try to understand if it's an important person or one of those stupid machines that absolutely no one likes receiving calls from. After the fourth ring I pick up the phone, I don't speak they start talking. “Peyton Summer?” As I speak my voice breaks into so many parts I don't even know what to do, “That's her.” As the woman on the other end speaks, I can tell she likes me, “Darling, I I'm sorry to tell you on the phone, but there was a terrible accident. Can you come to Carolinas Medical Center as soon as possible?" I sat listening to her while also feeling my heart break into so many pieces that I honestly didn't know what to feel. After a few seconds I said, "Can you please tell me who was in an accident? " I heard her take a deep breath as she said the words I'd been dreading since I heard the news on the scanner. "Your mother and father, darling." I've never felt so heartbroken in my life, "I'll be there. , thank you." As I stand up, I put on my leggings and of course my lucky UNC Charlotte t-shirt. It's shocking to me that I'm not crying right now. As I walk out... middle of paper... she actually says that he loves me. Sitting with my father is torture, and Emmett is sitting in a quiet corner, I mean he pushed me so much he can't go anywhere face, so you never know if they will tell you good or bad news. «We finished with your wife's intervention. He had a minor brain injury and also had a lot of stomach problems. I'll explain it better when he wakes up. She won't be able to walk during her recovery, she shouldn't move much, so we'll keep her for about 2 weeks, so everyone can get used to what needs to be done. Again, I will explain more to her when she wakes up and we will take you both to a room. He told us with sympathy, but also with joy, that my mother is alive. My father nods and replies: "Thank you Doctor"..”
