Hospitals

The one time I have visited a hospital was the worst. But before I talk about that you should know why I am talking about it. The main character in One for the Money, Stephanie, is in the hospital hoping this girl Lula will make it through surgery. The reason why Lula is in the hospital is because this guy beat her up and left her hanging outside of the fire escape to Stephanies window. Stephanie is so worried because even though she made it through the attack and is conscious, she still has to go through multiple surgeries. Eventually Lula is better and recovers. Stephanie visits her a couple of times and doesn't convince Lula to testify against Ramirez because she is afraid that if he isn't convicted that he or someone Ramirez knows would come after her. She also doesn't want to get beaten up by her father who is forcing her to be a prostitute. The one time I was in the hospital was in sixth grade. I was at school one day and my teacher sent me down to the office because my parents were there to pick me up. I was confused but happy to get out of school. My mom said my dad was at the hospital with his mom and we are suppose to meet him there. When we were in the hospital and going to the room my whole family was there. I saw my grandma on the hospital bed and she looked pail and fragile. She didn't wake up for the rest of the week. Every night that week I had slumber parties at my cousins house. Me and my brother didn't want to far away from the hospital so our aunt and uncle allowed us to stay at their house. One night our parents took us home and that night our grandma pasted away. I always think of what would have happened if I stayed in Hastings, but I guess I will never know.
