CHAPTER 5 - Nighthour
Jay runs in the street. He runs faster than ever. His heart beats faster than ever. He is scared that itÂ’s too late.
Jay arrives to the hospital. He rushes straight to MayÂ’s rooms floor and from there to her room. Five adults have gathered around MayÂ’s bed. Three of them are doctors, and two of them are MayÂ’s parents. Both of them are crying.
-What happened!?
MayÂ’s mother and father turn their faces to Jay.
-SheÂ…SheÂ…
-ItÂ’s okey, dearÂ… Calm downÂ…
Father tries to calm his wife. His voice is trembling.
-HowÂ… How can I calm down!? ItÂ’s my child, my child lays in that bedÂ… ItÂ’s MY childÂ…
Mother starts to cry even harder and hides her face to her hands.
Father holds his wife little closer and looks painfully to the doctors.
-They canÂ’t say whyÂ… ItÂ’s propably because of the illnesÂ… NobodyÂ… Knows for sureÂ…
-What is it?
Jay is holding his tears. He asks again.
-WhatÂ… is it?
Father turns his face to the floor and starts to sob quietly.
-We donÂ’t know whyÂ… It happened so suddenly, and this couldnÂ’t be predicted in any wayÂ… SheÂ… She has stopped breathing.
