"911 what is your emergency?" The dispatcher lady
asked nonchalantly as she responded to the
emergency call my mom was making.
"My daughter!...sshee, she's struggling to breathe
again, hurry and come please!" She told them
frantically. I was suffering yet another attack; I have
been suffering from this respiratory disease for 16 of
my 19 years of living and this disease was much
worse than asthma, bronchitis or any other
respiratory illness.
"What exactly is the problem ma'am?" The
dispatcher asked
"SHE'S STRUGGLING TO BREATHE!" She yelled at the
dispatcher angrily because in her mind she had
made herself clear from the beginning
"Ohkay ma'am, I'm gonna need you to come down---"
"Don't tell to calm down! Just send an ambulance
now!" My mother shouted
"What's the address to your residence ma'am?" The
dispatcher asked trying to get this over with as
quickly as she could. My mom told her the address
and she would send one right now; she hung the
phone up and turned to me
"It's gonna be ohkay baby, just hang in there" she
said as I nodded slowly, still struggling to breathe,
my eyelids getting heavy as I slowly closed them, my
world turning black.

*Ara*
I woke up to an all white room that I had become all
too familiar with, I was at the hospital. My breathing
was back to normal again but my body was sore. I
looked to my left and saw my mom sleeping on one
of the room's chairs, using her jacket as a blanket for
herself.
"Ma" I tried calling her, my voice sounding a bit
hoarse. She wasn't responding so I tried again
"Ma!" And that's when she startled and woke up
looking at my direction. She wore a smile that made
everything okay.
"Ara...my baby" she said now standing up and
coming my way to hug me
"Good morning mom"
"Morning baby, how are you feeling?" She asked
brushing her hand along my forehead
"Okay, better than the last time." I frowned thinking
about my last encounter with this disease, my mom's
heart was aching too, I could see it in her eyes.
"It's all my fault Ara, I should've been a better mom
when I was---"
"Mom, it's not your fault. What's done is done ma,
please don't blame yourself"
"How could I not?" She argued now sitting to the
chair that was adjacent to my bed; "You're
permanently sick and it's all my fault" she said
looking down. I was about to respond to her
argument when the door opened to reveal a man in a
white coat. He was gorgeous; he was black and stood
at 6'4 inches; he also had caramel skin, which
complimented the coat perfectly, he had beautiful
brown orbs which glowed when he smiled at us, I also
took notice of his teeth, beautiful white teeth.
"Good morning Mrs Powa and your daughter, my
name's Dr Brown. I'm glad to see your daughter all
well today. I was a bit skeptical last night when they
brought her here." He finished his sentence now
looking at me smiling, I looked away before I turned
red infront of him and my mom
"Well, Ara is a fighter Dr Brown" my mom said
proudly as he nodded in agreement and looked at me
again
"She is isn't she?" He looked at his clipboard which
contained all information about me
"Well we can discharge her tomorrow morning, we
have to keep her here tonight to make sure she is
perfectly fit"
"Thanks Doctor." She then turned to me, "Ara baby I
have to rush off to work, before those kids in the
class kill themselves" Dr Brown chuckled and I
smiled at her
"It's okay mom. As long as you'll come back after
school" I said to her
"Of course I will Ara" she said standing up preparing
to leave
"Please keep an eye on her doctor"
"Yes ma'am" and then my mom left
"You look worried" I turned to look at him
"I just don't like hospitals doctor" I said truthfully
"Well don't worry, I'll make sure you like this one" he
said smiling showing off his beautiful ruler straight
pearly whites; "and you can call me Chris" he said
coming closer to me. I felt some sort of tension or
pull between us that I couldn't understand at the
moment
I gave him a smile and managed to breath out an
okay to him
"I'll be back shortly to check up on you" he said
pulling away from me. He looked back one more time
and then left. "Gosh he's so sexy" I quietly said to
myself
-------------------------------------------------------
*Chris*
I walked down the hallway as I left Ara's room. I
smiled just thinking about her name, it was so
beautiful, just like her. I only met her last night when
she came here and I was already feeling something
between us, that can't be good.
"Dr Brown" my thoughts were cut off by Tracy, this
nurse who had this huge crush on me
"Yes Nurse Gold?" I answered her trying to power
walk avoiding her
"I have some news about your patient, Miss Powa"
she said making me slow down and turning to look at
her
"Ara?" She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as to
how I knew her name, usually we call our patients
using their last names
"Yes doctor. Her respiratory disease has become
fatal, much more fatal and she's not given much time
to live. In about 6 months or so her disease will have
spread throughout her body and..." She shook her
head and discontinued, she didn't have to cause I
didn't want to hear her continuation
"Are you sure about this?" I asked swallowing a lump
in my throat
"Yes"
"Nurse Gold, we need you on the ER unit" one of the
other nurses came and told her
"I'll keep you informed Dr Brown"
"Yeah..." That's all I could say at this point. I looked at
her room and on the floor and sighed.
