Chapter 2: The Reunion
I woke up in a hospital bed crying and screaming my head off and sitting up. "Oh my GOD! My sweet baby! Oh thank GOD you'r okay!" my mom said worridly, crying as she hugged me. I was still cought up in my dream. When I finaly got back to reality, I slowly hugged her back. Even though I was back to reality I was still focused on the dream. "Mom,... It's okay. I'm fine." I said in a trembly voice. Just then I heard loud and quick foot steps. The hospital door slammed open. There stood Mercedes with Gracie behind her and Amy behind Gracie. Mercedes held the door open with her right hand and had her left hand on her left leg. She looked like she was bending down a bit. Gracie had her arms to her sides. Amy had her fists up to her chest. They were all breathing hard.
I smiled. "Hi guys." I said in a pleasant innocent voice. "WHAT?! 'HI GUYS' !? THATS ALL YOU CAN SAY?! AFTER FOUR WHOLE MONTHS THATS ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'HI GUYS'?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Mercedes, Gracie, and Amy snapped. I was in complete shock. "Four months?" I said in complete confusion. "Yeah. four months." Said Amy. I grinned. "Mabey four days but months?" I asked. "Yeah. Youve been out cold for four months." Said Greacie. "....No way..." I whispered to myself.
All of a sudden I froze. "Where's the bathroom? I really need to go!" I said in a panic. "It's next the door to the right of you." My mom said in relief. "Thanks!" I said anxiosly. I quickly popped out of bed... Well, at least I tried to. I found it hard to move at first. I guesse my nerves were still in a sleep. It has been four months after all.
As I washed my hands I felt light headed. My legs began to shake and I felt dizzy. It seemed as if the whole room was spinning. When I grabbed the bathroom sink I looked into the mirror. In a blink of an eye the figure from the dream was there, then it was gone. The figure was still stcuk in my head. The next thing I knew I was throughing up in the toilet. "Celeste? Celeste are you okay?" My mom said rushing into the bathroom in a trembly voice. "Yeah mom... I'm okay." I said franticly.
As my mom waited in line to chek me out of the hospital, pay the bills, do what ever it is aults have to do at the counter, Amy, Gracie, and Mercedes all shouted "Happy Birthday!" With their eyes closed and their mouths wide open to look like a D on it's stomach. I looked outside and saw snow all over the place. "....February 17th...." I whispered to myself. "Come on guys!" I said hapily running outside to the big empty lot of grass next to the hospital. I grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Gracie. Then Gracie grabbed a snowball and tried to throw it at me but I jumpped so it hit Amy. Then Amy grabbed a snowball, tried to through it at Gracie, but Gracie dodged it and it hit Mercedes. Amy, Gracie, Mercedes and I shouted "SNOWBALL FIGHT!!" Then we all fell into the snow and made show angels with the little bit of snow in its place from the miniature snowball fight we had.Within five seconds I quickly got up and screeamed "Jessus Christ thats cold!" Everybody but me started laughing. "Well of course its cold! Its snow! Frozen water? Didn't we all learn this in second grade?" said Mercedes laughing. "I know that ! I just wasn't thinking!" I said embarresed. "Well obviously." said Amy." "When are you tinking?" said Gracie. Everybody started to laugh...exept me...out loud. "Well I'm the only one in a hospital gown!" I shouted even more embarresed.
"Come on everybody in the car!" We all stepped in my moms black 1996 Buick Riviera. When I got home my older brother,Brandon, came up to me, hugged me and said "I'm ganna kill you! I love you! I'm ganna choke you in your sleep! Don't ever do something stupid like that again! I will rip you limb from limb! I love you so much! I will burn you in your sleep, feed your ashes to a dog then take the remains in that dog bodily waist, burn it, burn the ashes, burn the ashes' ashes, put them in a box and through it into an pit of water and surround it in water and put cement everywhere around it and tell the police that you haven't even been picked up from the hospital! I care so much about you!" Everybody started laughing. "I love you too Brandon." I said creeped out. Then I moved my lips saying "Help me! he won't let go! He's crazy!" Everybody started laughing harder. Miguel,my little brother, came up to me and hugged me. "Tete!" he said crying.
"Where's Dad?" I asked. "He's some where in Merryland." said Mom. "He won't be back until next weekend." added Brandon. "Celeste, because today is your birthday, I'm letting you spend the night at Mercedes's." Mom said, "But this time PLEASE DON'T DO ANY DANGEROUSE STUNTS! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!" "I won't mom. I promise. I've learned my lesson." "But first we have to buy you new cloths. Your old ones are too big for you now." I went into the bathroom and weighed myself. I had relized that I dropped 45 bls. I now only weighed 90 bls. I packed one outfit of new cloths, pajamas, a DVD, my feathered pillow,my quilt, and a hair brush. Before I Left to meet Amy, Gracie, and Mercedes at her house. I grabbed my cat, Neko-san, and held her in my arms for a good 20 minutes and thought of the dream. Then I put my socks and shoes on and left with my mom to Mercedes's house.
