Chapter 3
It was about 9:30, and Brian was sitting in his mom's room, by her bed, holding her hand. Her heart had stopped around 5:15 when Brian got there and she had not waken up yet..
Harold was in the cafeteria getting something to eat. All of a sudden, Brian's mom started shaking vigorously, and the beep. . .. . beep, beep, pattern of the heart monitor changed. Brian ran out of the room and yelled for a doctor.
Dr. Allofyour rushed in, followed by a couple nurses, and another doctor.
Dr. Allofyour asked to himself and the other people in the room, "What the hell happened. She was getting better, and then all of a sudden this. What the hell did I miss?"
With all the action in the room; Jackie's heart stopping for a second time, her having seizures; Brian just went insane. He started yelling hysterically, "Don't go mom! I love you! Don't go!"
The doctors had to get 3 different guys to finally drag him out of there, because he was getting in the way. He was walking down the hall, to the waiting room, when he bumped into his dad.
"Dad?!?! I thought you were in California for the week on business," Brian said, very surprised.
"Your brother called me, and I took the first flight down here. What all happened?" Brian's dad, Harold Sr. asked.
"I don't know exactly. All I know is that Mom was in a car crash, she broke her leg, wrist, and a few ribs, and she got a concussion. I don't know what else happened, but shortly after we got here, mom's heart stopped. The doctors fixed that but. . . a couple minutes ago. . . in mom's room. . . while I was in there with her. . . she started to have seizures. . . . and. . . then. . . her hart stopped again," Brian said, barely getting out the last sentence because he started choking up.
He then sat down, and started crying, not able to look at his father's horrified face. They both just sat there completely dazed. One barely able to stand up, and Brian, barely able to keep from standing up and letting out his anger by punching something or someone.
