I wake up to the sound of hushed voices outside my door. I check my phone and it's currently 3:00 am cautiously I press my ear against the door and listen in on the conversation.
"Amanda we cant call them before we even see how she reacts." My dads tone is hushed but firm
"But what if she kills herself Mark what do we do then?" My mom is almost in tears. I can tell by the tone of her voice.
"She won't, Ellie is strong you can't give up on her already." Then my door starts to creek open. Frantic I lunge to my bed and burry myself in my blankets. I hear footsteps approaching my bed then a hand on my shoulder
"Ellie, We um have some news." My mom mumbles I pretend to be half awake and sit up "what is it?" It's the first time I realized they were talking as if something awful had happened. She lifts her hand to my cheek and looks down
"Your grandma she, she uh" she stops and clears her throat "she passed away Ellie." My mom looks at me to see my reaction and I can't hold it back. I start sobbing uncontrollably tears stream down my face the next thing I know I have both my parents tearing up and holding me.
"She was supposed to have more time..." I sniffle
"She had a heart attack around 2:30. The doctors had her on life support but there was nothing we could do Ellie, we had them stop it." Her voice is shaky like she knows what she did was wrong. I pull myself away from her
"You didn't believe in her!" I scream shocking them both "she's strong and you didn't believe she would make it! Just like you don't believe in me I think I can't live with my memories you've already given up on me!" My mom starts crying and my dad tugs in my arm for me to sit back down but I'm livid. "How could you do that?" I scream I grab my bad and storm out of my room leaving my parents behind. I know where I'm going. I have to go to my grandmas, maybe a part of me believes she will still be there maybe I just want to see Murphy one last time. Whatever it is I just have to go.
