Complications

As I walked up to the doors of River Valley Medical Center, the cold wind blew in my face. The warm breeze greeted me as I walked in and sat on one of the lavender polka-dotted chairs. I opened my blood red purse, and after a few miserable minutes of searching for my phone, someone called my name. I jerked my head to the left and saw a doctor smiling intently at me. I got up, and followed her to a room. She took my weight,height, and my blood pressure. Then she took me to another room, telling me the doctor was running late, then she closed the door.

"Ah, yes Ms. Gerald," the doctor said as he walked in closing the door behind him. He sat downand looked at the computer screen. "Ohh, you're Alison! Adopted daughter of Jasmine Gerald. Right? Your 'mother' and I went to high school together."

I looked at him as my mind raced. "Adopted?"

"Yes...didn't she tell you?" he asked.

I stared at him and shook my head.

"Now," he said"...about your stomach pain-"

"I-I have to go." I stammered. I opened the door and ran out the building, and ran home, as fast as I could.


Ch 2: RAIN AND MISERY

One thing I love about rain; I can cry, and cry my eyes out, and it doesn't look like I'm crying. I ran home, crying and wiping my tears at the same time. I slammed the door shut after I got into my house, and tried to control my shaking. I walked the stairs on my bed. I grabbed my phone from my dresser and texted my friend Michelle to meet me behind Red Grove park, then tucked it into my back pocket. I changed my shirt to a red tanktop, black jeans, and red converse, then headed to Red Grove park, right across the street from my house.
