SWEEPING HEARTS

LIFE TURNS DARK In the middle of the lectures, my phone vibrates,but I can't pick up my phone, so I turned it off before even checking the caller. The lecturer continues with the lectures as I write down in my book "Britin Rodriguez,"Mr John's voice got me out of my book, and I looked up "Yes, sir!"I never knew he knew me.am the quietest ,boring, ignored girl in all the university. "You're needed in the principal's office,"he added."Go with your things. "okey, sir," I was surprised and scared at the same time. this is the second time I have gone to that office. I got my things and went directly to the office. "Sit down, Britin,"the principal said, looking at me.i obeyed "So Britin, this is bad news, but don't frick out, please,"she said to me. "Okay,"I tried to hide the tension inside me. "it is about your parents," "What about my parents, " "they are in the hospital .they...." "Which hospital,"I cut her off "It's AA hospital, but.........."By that time,my brain went directly in panic mode. I couldn't hear anything she say.i just ran outside the university to my car, drove to the hospital. I got out of the car and ran inside the hospital "hi am looking for Mr. and Mrs Rodriguez please please which room are they in??,"I asked the receptionist, and she gave me the directions Running there,reaching there,I found Agnes (sister to my mom) and Amber(my cousin) sitting there on the waiting chairs talking, and when they saw me, they became silent. I couldn't sit or think ,I was pessing up and down waiting when the surgeries finish.the door was opened, and the doctors came out .so scared what he will answer, I asked anyway "Doctor, are they fine...like both please ,"I was already a mess. "Are you miss Rodriguez?"he asked.other doctors and nurses pass by me looking pitiful "yah yah t they are my parents. are they fine?"A crying mess,I was. "I am so sorry miss Rodriguez, we couldn't save them,"he replied, and that's where I stopped thinking. "N..no no it it it can't be right!they can't leave me now....I..I..."That's when I couldn't breathe and never bother to fight for it.i foll in the darkness. I felt the warmth on me, and I wished everything was I dream. making a short prayer, I opened my eyes slowly. Am still the hospital but on the bed, and that's when it hit me. It was all true.a nurse came in "ooh you're awake,good timing,"she said "What do you mean, where are my parents!"I asked her out of curiosity "Your Unt Agnes said she wanted her sister to be buried immediately, so she took both of them.they are buried today,"she answered. "What!!!!!"I removed the middle inside my skin and run out side the hospital. "Hey, wait,"the nurse tried to catch me, but I was already out of the room.running with my week body, I dumped into someone,"sorry" I said without giving him my attention since I had my attention somewhere else. outside the hospital, I got the tax, which dropped me where the barrier was taking place. they had finished, without me and people were exciting the place. but I didn't care ,my attention was where their bodies were resting. it started raining cats and dogs, but I didn't care. I sat down in tears. "it is not fear....not fear at all.how could you guys leave me like this..!!!!!"I cried my eyes out. "Who is going to love me who is going to care for me who is never going to ignore me. " "Mom, people hate me, and you know that dad.now, how am I going to serve without you?"snoozing, crying, and wandering how I am going to handle life without them. "But no,"i stund up."As you guys say, I am strong and pretty..."I tried to stop crying but all in vain"am going to leave for you.am going to finish my studies an and and live well,happy as you always tell me.i will be happy mom and dad"i said my last goodbyes and went home in that rain. "I have to take care of myself. my parents want me healthy told myself. got a hot bath and went to sleep, still hoping it would be a dream... maybe. in the morning, I was woken up by bangs on the door.my eyes were so heavy ,I tried to open them and went to the door. My Unt Agnes and Amber were on the door.as soon as I opened,they entered. "Hi cursin,long time no see,"my Unt greeted me while sitting in the sofer. "Amm...."Before finishing, Amber bit my tough "You look messy!!"with a disgusting look "Anyway, we are staying here from today."They gave me fake smiles. "May I ask why?"I was surprised. "No, don't ask."Amber answered I decided to go up. Maybe it's time for me to learn to live with people. At school, I was needed, but the principal. She told me about my scholarship and the things I needed to pay at the coming semester. I went back home, and the bills were waiting for me on the tie table.water bill ,electricity bill, etc "Unt, we have many bills. Can we at least...."I wanted us to share bills since we leave together, but "At least what?I don't have any money, Britin, "she carelessly replied "In fact, we want to sell this house,"Amber bruted out, coming downstairs "What, why!!"As surprised as I was,I wanted to know the reason even though nothing could take me into selling my parents' house . "Oh darling, the house is too big for nothing. and look at the bills."Unt said to me. "No, where am I going to live?"I half yelled "Who cares!,mom is your guardian she can do whatever she wants."Amber replied while Unt going upstairs "Amber, don't talk to me like that,you can't sell this house."cluods we're forming in my eyes "You have one week, Britin ,"she said, also going upstairs .I was left there alone thinking and wondering what I did wrong and how to fix everything.i concluded with no choice but to search for a job,my allowance was discreasing in every second passing I can do this.i can.
