Midnight Darkness

Ch 1: The Moonlight Silence

It was a stormy afternoon the day was paved with intense feelings but yet quieter than they seemed. Elohiom my sister was sitting by the fire cozy as the light of the candle dimmed in the simmer of coolness was being brushed through likeness of the day and carried of in the nightfall, no one sophisticated and gentler as i kew what would come of the night so i spoke up " Mother, are we to have tea later or perhaps now?" She glared at me in the newly evening. "Maybe so if the fire wood was chopped or not wet," she insisted mother was steady as a brickwall density increased as i laid on my back looking for the days i had left in this world maybe if.... i had been a better kid i could live but- cancer held me back from feeling what i wanted to on my own. My dad Jeff Gordon already broke the silence, I was diagnosed with cancer and it took alot out of me you know I had to take perscriptions every night and it was not good but my sister Elohiom Gordon was the middle sort of thing and I was the youngest because Emanuel Gordon was my older brother and he took care of me. Finally my dad got up waved and said "Goodnight everyone," said my dad and left hopefully I would bum out on the couch and snooze but i went to my bed and out like a light but couldn't get sleep, some how i rolled over and dreamed real hard but was a little heavy sleeper so i put on music and finally found my dreams that i wanted to know. Later that evening, a tremendous thing happened my parents got a tour to New Zealand but mostly
but they were hoping for vacation tour even though the effortless soul made them feel helpless but overly concerned but she made me promise not to do anything while they were gone for two whole weeks. When gathering the last of the luggage i said " Have a fun trip mom and dad drive safe", mom wasn't on board with leaving us for two weeks straight knowing i was sick meaning it was up to Elli to take care of me getting my medicine, taking naps every few hours so i won't get to tired to play or eat too.

I silently got up from the table after finishing dinner or whatever it was my sister cooked but i shouldn't have listen to her,the food looked tempting bit made me throw up for an hour nonstop. She tries to be the best she can be and i know because she is not allowed to move yet, but hopefully this a way elli can prove to my parents that she is going to be better and more mature even if she is nineteen years old so she is guaranteed to move sometime not now cause she really couldn't be more likely trusted than i am with an insured car so yeah you get the point. Eventually that Tuesday of the second week some things happened that weren't expected, it was time for bed and then I started to feel like the unusual feeling not ordinary but it caused me to get a headache and i panicked badly and threw up all over the floor. It was like i had blacked out completely understanding that my brain went dead on me i sanked breathlessly to the floor hitting as the pain sinked in beside me Emanuel and Elohiom cried while calling mom and dad telling them something happened that i sanked to the floor and they didn't know what happened to me so she said we needed to stay put and don't panick or anything but take him to the hospital immediately before it gets worse as side affects to hitting his head on the ground at that moment i felt nothing but pain shooting through my head like a mistle soaring thin like wool in my vains blood vessels and all i felt was pain... the last thing i saw and heard was "It will be alright Elaine, don't worry" but i wasn't really sure.

Later on that evening i woke up in the hospital where my mom, dad sister and brother are standing over me, sitting in a corner elli wept silently hiding her pain from the grief of thinking, she mumbled something breathlessly feeling tired i opened my eyes to see my mom next to me sleeping like a child. I tapped my mom lightly awaking her as she gasps and grabs me by the head and held me close to her chest not letting go, remembering every moment before and after desperately longing for affection and love i hugged her back feeling a little light headed i sat back ajusting to the pain i felt that shot down my back with tension. Agonizing in my stiffness trying not to show pain i could'nt help it because of my disease it hurt my back knowing that the pain had not gone away fully, feeling tense i yelp as my mom rubbed my back but reacting before telling her i said " Stop it your hurting me." Mother looked ever so stunned rather shocked that i yelled but really i haven't before so being the first time ever she replied in such horror " Elaine Diana Gordon you do not talk to on your own mother in such a way when we get home your grounded," she said, under my breath scowling i muttered " better than being here."

The next morning the doctors came in and checked all my vitals and said that i was ready to go home finally and made "Make sure i ate fresh vegetables and fruits to long walks and not watching anymore than a hour a day of TV so instead i had to read a dozen books and no phone calls because of naps and all that can cause her to function improperly" she explained. "Well thank you Doctor Alauna Simmons," mom said Dr. Simmons replied Just call me Alauna" Mom said "ok." She looked over at me while I was slipping on my shoes and told me to say bye to Doctor Alauna and i said "See you later Mrs. Simmons" as i walked out the room she waved back and said "bye."

Turning around i bumped into another girl in the hall tripping and landed face plant, getting up she said "Oops sorry" helping me up my mom came running out screamimg are you alright i told her i was fine but she didn't believe me. The girl asked my name she was red headed and blue eyes with freckles and about 5 ft and 2 in, i I answered her in the softest voice i could i told her my name was Elaine and she said " My name is Mahalia Elliott Jones" i replied breathless "cool." Maybe i thought for a minute we were different but we had so much in commom like we both love pizza and our favoritecolor is blue we like dolphins and movies and most importantly we both love school ourfavorite subjects are wen ELA,Reading,Math,and Science and we share the same music but tje only difference we have is she loves high heel and i like sneakers with high tops so i guess we share very much like personalities. I asked her could we hang out later and she said fie with me if Mahalia asked her mom i already asked my parents and they were on board they said that she was nice and pretty too so they were cool with it, unfortunately she hadaanother appointment with the doctor so she exchanged nubers with me as i walked down the hall i thought so much for bffs forever only thing i can do is call when she doesn't.
