Chapter 4
Isn't it funny that life can change in an instant? I wonder if life could one day could have a reset button. Then maybe I could use it, and I wouldn't feel so bad, I thought in my head. A doctor comes into the room, their lab coat looking like it was ironed that day. He looks at his clipboard with annoyance in his eyes.
"Are you Sarah Memo?" He says bitterly. I bite my tongue from saying something to make his mood even worse, and just nod my head grimly. He unplugs the machines that were hooked up to me. He looks at me with even more annoyance in his eyes. "Do you need anything before you head out?" He asks, clearly annoyed after a long day at work, or something. I shake my head, too overcome with sadness to even talk. He nods. "Okay, good. Now do you know who is going to take care of you from now on?" I move so that I'm sitting up.
"No, sir, I don't know who is going to take care of me. I don't have any aunt's or uncle's." I say, sighing. Why couldn't Grandma have another kid? Now I have to go to an adoption center, I say to myself in my head. He nods.
"OK, well then you're going to have to go to an adoption centre until someone can adopt you. Is that clear?" He says like a Drill Sargent. I salute him as a joke. He just rolls his eyes and walks out of the room, turning around to say, "Oh, and a doctor of the name 'Shawn' is going to take you to the adoption centre. Do you know who that is?" I nod, happy that he is going to take me instead of Mr. GrumpyPants over here. "OK. Good to know. Goodbye." And with that, he walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.
I decide to call my friend Rachel. I haven't known her for long- only about a year or so- but I think she maybe can cheer me up.
Ring, ring... Ring ring...
"Oh, come on, pick up!" I say through the phone.
"Um, I did? Nice to hear from you too..?" Oh. Oops. I scratch the back of my neck.
"Oh, uh, hey Rachel..." I say, wincing over how stupid I sound.
"Hey. How you doing?"
"I'm doing just fine..." I lied. I'm dying inside...
"Well I'm glad your OK, then. If you don't mind me asking, why did you call?" She asks. I take a deep breath, then proceed to tell her what happened. I leave some parts out, though. Mainly, the part about me meeting my twin in Heaven and how I have to go to an adoption centre. She makes a 'tik' sound with her mouth and says,
"Whoa... That must have sucked. Well, who are you going to stay with?" I didn't want to tell her that I had to go to an adoption centre, but if I didn't, then she could find out one way or another.
I decide to tell her.
"Um... An adoption centre. But I can still go to school, and someone can adopt me!" I say, trying to get off topic. "So, uh, how has your day been-"
"Adoption centre?!" well that didn't work, I think to myself. "I'm coming over." She says. My eyes widen.
"Wait, what?! No! You can't! You don't need to, really!" She snorts.
"Too bad. Be there in five." and with that, she hangs up. Ugh, I think to myself, you don't have to! I say in my head.
Now she's gonna judge me...
