That Girl.
You better watch that girl, one day she may change the world.
Preview.
It started out as a normal day in the Andrew household. Who are the people in the household? Well, I’m Alexa Jade; I’m 17 years old and was born in the year 1987, the day 22, in the month of August. I have long blonde hair with side swept bangs; my eyes are a chocolate brown. My brother Hanson Rick is 5 and was born in 2000 on May 28. He has a head full of blonde hair like me, but has blue eyes like the sky. The next brother is Simon Jake, he’s 2, and was born in 2002, December 19. He has the darkest hair and has brown eyes.
Currently my parents are at work even though it’s 7 o’clock on June 20. See, they are people who will get to an accident and check out the car and survey the damage before the ambulance gets there. It’s a strange job but it gets food on our table. I babysit my brothers all the time and you get used to their antics by being around them always. Right now it’s early in March and I’m ready for the school year to end. Hanson was crying about it being over and how he didn’t want it to end. Just wait until he’s old enough to graduate, he’ll be so excited, just like me. Your freshman year you feel like is going to drag out but in reality all of your high school years are gone by the blink of an eye.
“Ugh, LexLex when are they going to be home?” Simon asks me. We’re playing with blocks in the middle of the living room. Hanson is watching Sponge Bob on TV beside us.
I Look at Simon. “They’ll be here soon Booger. Remember how it’s raining really hard out there?”
A big smile comes across his face because I used his favorite nickname. He nods up and down.
“Well, since it’s raining so hard it made it harder for them to drive. They said they would be home soon.” A loud buzz is heard throughout the house. “Stay here boys.”
I go over to the front door and open it. There is Mrs. McClain, our neighbor. What in the world is she doing here?
“Alexa, I have some bad news.” She bites her lip and I bring her inside to where the boys can’t hear her.
“What is it?” She is making me nervous.
“Your parents.” She takes a breath. What about my parents? “Your parents got hit. They were driving across the bridge when another car spun out of control. Their car flipped off the bridge. Right now your mom is in a coma and I don’t know about your dad. I’ll watch the boys, just go down there.” She turns to where she hears the sound of the TV and I quickly grab my coat and keys and run out the door.
The next thing I know I’m at hospital. I don’t even know how I got here. I lock my car and run into the building. The lady at the desk looks at me. “CCU please.”
“Go to the elevator. Up on the third floor to the right, they will help you there.” I take off running dodging people who are in my way. “Slow down.” A doctor barks at me. I don’t pay any mind and press the elevator button. It’s not getting here so I just leave it and run up all the stairs. I get up to CCU and see four different ladies. I go to the one closest to me. “Marie and Jack Jacobs please.”
They point me in the right direction and I go into my mom’s room. I see a doctor in there. He looks up at me. “Who are you?”
“I am her daughter. What’s going on?” I look down and see how lifeless she seems. She can’t be dead, she can’t!!
“Well, your mother is doing a lot better than your dad.” He takes me out into the hall. “I’m sorry to inform you but your dad died on the scene and your mother is in a coma. We’re not sure when she will wake up. M.A.D.D. is paying for everything because the accident involved a drunk driver.” He then walks away and I go back into my mom’s room. My dad is dead? How am I going to explain this to the boys? I grab mom’s hand and pray she will wake up from her coma. Tears fall out of my eyes.
About two weeks later mom still hadn’t woken up from her coma. I’ve been by her side until the doctors and nurses would kick me out. An overweight nurse comes in to take her vital signs. She makes me look skinny. I’m around 5’2” and weigh about 140.
“I love you baby, take care of your brothers please.” I jerk my head up and see mom’s awake.
“Mom, you can’t leave me! Please, hang on. You just woke up.” I look at the heart monitor and it gives the long beep. NO!! She can’t have died. They have to do something.
The nurse looks at me. “Sweetie, it was time for her to go.” I just look at her through my tears. “I’ll go and get the doctor.” She leaves the room and I have tears streaming down my face. I am still holding onto my mom’s hand. “No mom, this can’t be. Please don’t let it be. I mean, she woke up from her coma, and then she dies? What is going on?
“Miss, you’ll have to go. I have to run some tests. Do you have anyone that can take care of you?” I nod slowly. “Then go back home. Come back tomorrow.”
I silently get up. I place a kiss on my mom’s head and leave the room. I run down the hall with tears streaming down my face. I run out the door and into the street. Someone grabs me and pulls me out of the road.
“You need to be careful there.” I stop and think about how this is New York and I’m thankful for the person to have pulled me back. I look around but everyone is bustling around me and I have no clue where the guy went. Oh well, at least he was nice enough to pull me away from the road. I go over to a bench and pull my legs into me and start to cry watching everything go past me. What’s going to happen to my brothers? There’s no way Division of Family and Children Services is going to let me keep them only being 17. I don’t have any relatives, both of my parents are only children and my grandparents can’t possibly raise them, with them being so young. So right now, my life pretty much sucks.
I slowly walk back to the hospital and get in my car and drive home. Mrs. McClain is still there watching them. She doesn’t have enough money to support her and her husband and can’t possibly support two kids. So, I’m pretty much screwed over.
I get home and hear the boys running to the door. I see Mrs. McClain at the window. I get out of my car slowly and walk toward the house. I put on a smile and go to the door.
“Lexi! You’re home, you’re home. We missed you.” Both the boys scream at me and hug me. While they are attached to my body I shake my head no to Mrs. McClain and she gets teary eyed. She walks through the small apartment to the kitchen. Probably, to cry.
“Have you had anything to eat for,” I check my phone. “Lunch?”
Alright,
I’d like to thank my best friend Hayley for helping me get this out.
She’s amazing and she’s also the co-writer. So please review and tell us what you think!.
