LIFE

I was sitting on my bed, reading a book like I always do. Or trying to 
read it, any ways. My father hadn't come back from work yet, and it was 
getting late. I could hear the clock ticking downstairs. Tick, tock, tick, 
tock. The clock suddenly struck ten times. It was 10:00. As the echo of 
the last chime died away, I heard the front door open.
"Usagi! Where are you?" slurred my father.
I stiffened at the sound of his voice. He had been out drinking. Again. 
After he had promised to stop. I had to get away.
I climbed out of my window, onto the tree that was right next to it. By 
the time I reached the ground, all the lights in the house were on. I
could hear things breaking inside, and my father cursing.
"Where is that cursed girl!?"
My eyes widened in surprise. I started to run away from the house, towards 
the street. I just had to get away. The front door crashed open as I started 
to turn away from the house. 
"Stop! You damn girl! Come back here!" my father shouted.
I started to slow down on instinct, and go back to my house.
'No', I thought. 'Not this time. I won't go back!' I turned back, now sure 
in my decision, and ran. I ran as hard, as fast as possible to get away 
from that house.
My mind registered footsteps coming up behind me. I chanced a look back 
as I was running. I gasped in shock. He was almost right on top of me, 
with a aluminum bat in his hands.
'How could he run so fast?' I wondered, as I tried in vain to run ever 
faster.
Suddenly, I heard a thump. He must have fallen over something, and that 
thought gave me strength. I continued to run, fearing to even slow down 
to see if he was alright.
A few minutes later, I realized that no footsteps had started to come up 
yet. I stopped, my foot steps echoing in the street of silence. Slowly, 
ever so slowly, I turned backwards, and retraced my steps towards my 
father.
I can upon his body, which was deathly still. And his face. It was white,
oh so white, in the darkness of the night.
As I stood there, in the middle of the silent street, I tried to remember
what it was that I was supposed to do.
"Help!" I yelled, my voice echoing in the street. "Help!"
No response came. I stood there, besides my father's body, listening to 
the echos of my voice die away.
'I should go home. Go home, and call an ambulance.' I thought, as I 
turned away from my father's body to run home.
Then, as I was reaching a bend in the road, a car came careening around 
it, and struck me.
There was blinding pain. Needles all over my body. I closed my eyes, and 
saw no more.

There was a dull pain in my head when I opened my eyes. Everything was 
white. I looked at my surroundings. Somehow, I had gotten into a bed. I 
drifted off to the darkness again.

The next time I awoke, there was somebody standing over me.
"Ah, you are awake now. I am Dr. Chiba." Said the man
"Where am I?" I asked.
"St. Andrews Hospital"
"Why am I here?" I was starting to get a little worried.
"You were hit by a car Monday night."
"What day is it? What about my father?"
"You've been unconscience for about three days, Usagi." Said the doctor, 
ignoring my question about my father.
I started to sit up, but was attacked by waves of pain flooding through 
my head.
"Three days?" I asked weakly?
"Yes. I have called your mother, and she will be here soon."
"My mother?" I haden't seen her in years. She lived to far away for me to
visit her regularly.
"Yes. Why don't you try to rest a little before she comes?" Suggested Dr.
Chiba. "I have to go now, but I'll be back later."
Dr. Chiba left. I stared at the ceiling, my head tumbling with thoughts. 
But, the one thought foremost in my mind as I drifted off to sleep was 
'What happened to my father?'

I opened my eyes yet again. 'I must've fallen asleep after all.' I 
thought to myself. My mother was sitting in a chair next to my bed.
"Honey? Are you ok?" she asked, worry tinging her voice.
"Yeah, mom. I'm fine." I answered.
We talked for awhile, catching up on stuff. After we ran out of things 
to talk about, we just sat in silence.
The door to my room opened, and Dr. Chiba walked in.
"You are probably wondering what happened to your father, Usagi." He 
stated.
I nodded my head yes, and waited for the answer.
"Your father died of an aneurysm." Dr. Chiba simply said.
'An aneurysm? He died of an aneurysm?' I thought to myself.
"I will leave you two to talk about what to do now." Said Dr. Chiba as he
left the room.

And that was that. I left to live with my mom in Maine. We never talked 
much about my father, but I didn't mind. I loved my father of course, 
how could I not? He was my father. He's gone now, but he will always have 
a place in my heart. 
He helped me with one thing a particular, without even knowing it. He 
showed me what drugs could do. And I have never, ever, touched any type 
of drug. I love him even more for that.
