Narrative: Final

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I glance over and see its 6:30 I sluggishly drag myself out of bed “it’s too early”. I walk to the shower and turn on the shiny silver handles and I close the curtain a sensation of warm water overtakes my body. I say to myself “today is going to be a good day”. I hop out and get dressed I throw on my black SLIPKNOT shirt and put on my black pants and slide right into my size 13 black ADIO’s. My mom says “let’s go you have to go early today because I have to go in early the rest of this week”. So we go out the door I jump in the silver Grand Prix labeled Yankees. As we drive to my school I couldn’t wait to see the girl I was dating I just knew that today was going to be amazing, it was sunny, no clouds, feeling like a million bucks, nothing could ruin this. I have finally been ok for once in my life I have a caring family, at least where I was living we planed on watching the new Transformers movie my dad was so excited. We finally reach school and there she was standing and waiting for me I was so happy to see her she was the girl for me (or so I thought at the time) she runs up and jumps into my arms feeling of empty hope. The day seems to drag and feeling so anxious to leave I just stood up and walked out grabbed the love of my life my skateboard and went to heaven A.K.A. The skate park. Walking down the hall now equipped with the only thing that has not let me down feeling invincible.

I get out the door and start down the side walk feeling like a free bird I skate across the street and its all empty feeling so specially like being V.I.P. I drop in and feel the overwhelming sensation of flying now the day is perfect can’t be any better. Bell rings time for lunch only running on half a tank so I need to get something to eat I sadly put away the love of my life in my dinky little locker. I get in line see that girl again so I go up by her and we kiss and we talk about what we doing tonight the rest of the day flew by so fast not really paying attention to anything just day dreaming. I head back to heaven and fly till my mom comes and I see my dad in the front seat I’m so excited I run and give him a hug and hop in the back seat like a little kid who sees his father after a long day at work.

We go to the doctors like a normal day he had to get his blood taken for dialysis and whatever else goes on for him its hard to see him so feeble he is supposed to be like Superman. His weathered face was so amazing to see but, at the same time it was so sad to see what he has done to himself. He was only 35 he really looked as if he was 50 though and he looked as though he just was not happy with himself. It crushed me he always told me to worry bout the partying later in life because I have so much talent so I needed to use it and make a life. To me he was preaching and I never listened I wish I would have, look where I’m at now.

So we head back to the house just a regular day I told all my friends to come over to kick it so that we could watch the Transformers movie. I was in my room with my friends Dominique, Xavier, Brody (my brother), I was on the computer being the room DJ. The song I chose was “Blowin Trees” By: Nappy Roots turned it up as high as the computer would; telling a story to my friends my dad walks in and says “hey I’m hopping the shower I LOVE YOU SON NEVER FORGET THAT”. I basically blew him off and said “ya I love you too” He says “I’ll be out in ten min. so we can watch our movie” “okay dad”. 5 min. go by and mom checks on him and he was slurring his words and his were rolling in the back of his head, she takes him out the bath and puts clothes on him. He says “just let me lay here come back in 10 min. I’m dizzy” “okay Kris”. Meanwhile the music is playing “broke with my girl last night so I went to the club put on a fresh white suit and mini coup sitting on dubs RORY!!!!” “yeah what’s up mom? “Help me your dad is too heavy he not really breathing!” As though someone has put an ice cube down my spine I get the worse chills I have ever had in my life. I run down the hall to my fragile father on the floor I said “Daddy please get up we got a movie come on” No reply. I pick him up his eyes rolled back I carry him to front room and lay his body on the oval rug on the floor. “CALL 911 NOW!!!” I scream at my mother she hands me the phone in sheer panic I dial as fast as I can I tell her where we are at what’s going on, she simply answers back “ Do CPR” “I don’t know it” “ I’ll guide you through it how may breathes does he take a min?” I count and its only a breathe every 27 seconds. As I cry on the phone this lady is totally treating me like I’m completely retarded. “Come on daddy” PUSH “please not now I need you” PUSH PUSH “how you doin kid?” “How do you think lady my dad is about to die!” “The ambulance is so close just 30 more seconds” PUSH tears streaming down my face “ Daddy NO please I’m here” finally the medics get there and push me out the way and say “ good job kid we got a pulse” An hour passes and my mother comes in tears running “he’s gone” my whole world was shattered so much for a good day.
