"Please!"
I nodded my head.
"Can I go and call the doctor now?"
She nodded and let go of my hand and I stood back up to get the doctor. But just as I was about to open the door, I heard the sound I never wanted to hear again-the flat lining of the heart monitor.
I rushed over to her and held her small hand as I shook her. "Please wake up! You can't leave me," I shouted as the door opened and James, her parents and a doctor all came rushing in.
The woman used her stethoscope to check her heartbeat and when she shook her head, everything around me disappeared.
"I'm sorry but she's gone."
My hands dropped to my sides and tears rolled down my cheeks as the flat lining of the heart monitor and the breaking of my heart were the only things I could hear.
