Parks, Dogs, and Hospitals

Me, Markie, and Em were walkin around the park and there was this middle class person with a dog about 100 feet away. They had a big dog. Like a Doberman or something like that. I dunno. Thats what it looks like. Anyway! We were walkin and the lady didn't have a good hold on the leash and the god came running over to us. It wouldn't stop running and I love dogs but this one was big, strong, and hyper! Well it came running towards me and tackled me to the ground. I couldn't get the fucking thing off me! I tried to push it off and I bit my cheek! I started screaming and blood was rushing down my face. Mark took the dog off me and threw it! The owner came by and got the leash on him. Emily took off her Jacket and tried to get some of the blood off but that didn't help. It wouldn't stop! The owner said sorry and kept saying sorry but that didn't help at all! It was gonna stop the bleeding! It wasn't gonna stop the crying! And it sure as hell wasn't gonna stop the pain! Mark picked me up and took me to the Curtis' house and told someone that we needed a car to take me to the hospital. Pony didn't hesitate to take me. Em stayed there cause she hates hospitals! I mean doesn't everyone? Mark layed me down in the backseat with a towel over my cheek so I wouldn't get blood everywhere. Him and Pony got in the front seats and started driving. We got to the hospital with in a couple minutes and we went to the E.R. Pony got me out of the backseat and I put one arm around his neck and he ran in. I was still crying and one of the people at the front desk asked for some bed thing or whatever. Pony layed me down and told me everything was going to be ok. I wanted him to come with me but the lady told him and Mark they had to stay in the waiting room or whatever! He let go of my hand and they took me in some room and somehow they got the bleeding to stop. They made me count to like 10 in my head and I only got to like 7 I think. The next thing I know I'm waking up to a white boring ceiling. My vision was blurry but it came back. I looked up and there was Pony and Mark. I asked what had happend and they told me everything. I started balling and they told me it was gonna be ok. Pony leaned in and kissed me on the forhead and wiped the tears away from my cheeks. I saw the gang come in. The first thing Steve said was...That's a pretty nast scar. I just looked at him and he smiled. Johnny and Lilly brought me up some Dairy Queen cause the hospital food is like cardboard. I mean seriously! If they want people to get better give us real food! They got me a cheeseburger, medium fry, and a chocolate shake! It was gooooooooooood!!!!! Until I started choking on a fry! That wasn't so much fun.... :(

I stopped choking but my throat hurt really bad! :'( everybody asked if I was ok...I said yea. But then the nurse came in and told people that visiting hours were over! That made me sad...cause having my family with me made me forget about the pain. Everybody left except Mark and Pony. I thanked Mark for throwing the dog off me and taking care of me. He said anytime and kissed me on the cheek and left. Pony smiled at me. He leaned in a gave me a big long kiss and gave me a hug. He told me he'd be back tomorrow. I said ok and then they all left. I was just sitting there. Looking out the open window at the stars. I thought about my mom and dad. About Johnny and Dawn. About when we were a real family. I missed that. I miss the time when my dad wouldn't let anyone hurt me. When me, mom, and Dawn would make cookies for the gang after the played in the snow at christmas. When dad would let me stand on his feet and we would dance around the living room. I guess I didn't realize it but I was crying really hard. Blair and Dallas came in cause they were staying in the hospital cause of Blaze. Blair put her hand on my shoulder and asked what was wrong. I gasped real loud and said nothing. Dal handed me the Kleenex box. Of course he asked about the scar on my cheek and I told both of them what had happend. He said he was gonna find and kill whoever let that happen. I didn't really care anymore. I just told them I was tired and wanted to sleep. I guess Blair could tell something was wrong so she said she was gonna stay with me for a sec. She asked what was really wrong and I told her about how I missed my mom and dad. She sat down on the bed by me and gave me a hug. We talked for a couple hours I guess. I don't remember how long. It always helps when I talk to someone in the gang about whats wrong. There's usually a certian person I go to. But everybody cares...so I talk....and they listen. They know exactley what to say to make me feel better. Blair said she was gonna go. So she gave me a hug and promised me everything was gonna get better. I said ok and fell asleep.
