(text-style: "expand") [OH MY GOD], Who keeps texting [[me]]?
It wasn't hard to convince myself to go back to sleep, afterall it was early and I was (text-style: "italic") [so] tired.
After a few minutes I started to feel myself drift back to sleep, when [[suddenly]]"Sarah, are you awake? This is an emergency!"
"Sarah!! Wake UP"
"Please wake up I need to meet you at the hospital as soon as you can!"
"CALL ME!!!"
"This is [[Important]]
(text-style: "fade-in-out") [RING RING RING RING RING]
UGH!! I just want to get some sleep.
Finally I [[answer]] the phone (text-style: "bold") ["Sarah!! I've tried texting you 100 times. I'm in my car and I dont have much time to talk. Just [[check]] your text and meet me at the hospital as soon as you can!!!]
Still unsure of what's going on, I grab the closest clothes I can find and throw them on.
As i'm heading out the door I suddenly remember that my cars in the shop having maintenance done.
(text-style: "shadow")[SH*T]
The hospital is only about 2 miles down the road. It would take me about 30-45 minutes to [[walk]] there.
Although, [[biking]] would only take me about ten. Brittany knows I don't have my car, she picked me up from the car shop last night! It can't be (text-style: "italic")[that] important, or she would have picked me up this morning.
I go to grab my sneakers for the walk, but they aren't where I put them. I check my bathroom, the kitchen, even the living room; I cant find them.
I've been having issues with my ankles lately and walking that far not wearing good shoes could only make the issues worse.
Suddenly, I hear a noise behind me and I turn to see my dog standing there. Shoes in mouth.
(text-style: "shudder") [BAXTERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
"I CAN'T BELIEVE [[THIS]]"Throwing on a pair of sandals, I run to my garage to grab my bike.
As I'm heading towards my bike, I think of the different ways I could get to the hospital. It's the middle of summer, so I'm likely to hit some construction so I need to plan wisely.
I could go by way of [[Harlem St]], which is the most direct way, but also the busiest road. I'm likely to hit construction.
Or I could go by way of [[Nappa Rd]], which is mostly backraods. Although it may take me longer, I'm less likely to hit construction. I decide to test my luck and take Harlem, I'm on bike, It's not like I'm a car who can get stuck in construction.
Heading out of my driveway I take a right towards Harlem. It isn't but 30 seconds later as I'm about to turn down Harlem that I see a big (text-style: "bold")[ROAD CLOSED] sign.
dang-it
I should have taken [[Nappa Rd]] to begin with. I turn (text-style: "mirror") [back around] and head back towards Nappa.
As I'm biking towards the hospital I can feel my phone buzzing in my pocket.
It might be important so I decide to pull over and [[look]]
I probably woke up the whole neighborhood yelling at my dog. This past week we've been trying to let him sleep out of the kennel, as a test run. Guess hes going back in.
Now that I don't have sneakers, the only option left is to go [[biking]] After reading these messages I started to (text-style: "shadow")[panic].
Horrible thoughts started racing through my head:
Is my friend OK?
Is someone in my family hurt?
Why didn't she drive to my house and get me first??
Finally I jump out of bed to get ready to [[leave]]. I check my phone and notice about 15 text messages from my friend Brittany, checking the time I realise that it's 7:08 in the morning. I worked a long 12 hour shift yesterday and I want to do is sleep. I'm sure if it's really important she would call me instead of text.
I'm really not sure If I should go back to [[sleep]] or [[check]] my messages
Looking at my phone I have about 30 more text messages from Brittany.
"Sarah??"
"Sarah where are you, you need to HURRY"
"I'm nervous you wont make it on time, I don't want you to regret it"
Now I'm really starting to panic. I try calling Brittany but I'm not getting an answer. I find it bizzarre that she is the only one reaching out to me. I haven't gotten a call from any of my other friends or even my parents.
I hop on my bike and race faster towards the [[Hospital]]Finally after what felt like the longest bike ride of my life, I arrive at the hospital.
Brittany never told me where to meet her so I decide to ride around the parking lots to see if I can find her [[car]].
After driving through about three parking lots I finally spot her car.
As I'm heading towards it I notice she's sitting inside on her phone.
"BRITTANY??"
"Oh my gosh, you finally made it" She said to me.
"Why are you sitting in your car and not inside the hospital yet?"
"Because I was waiting for you, now lets go, it [[starts]] in 5 minutes!""Brittany I don't even know why im here.. WHAT starts in five minutes?!"
"Oh I didn't tell you..."
"WHAT"
"Well, dont be mad, but theres a HUGE plant sale that a local greenhouse is hosting this morning at the hospital and I wanted you to help me pick out plants for my new house..."
"Brittany...I worked 12 hours yesterday, I have no car, my dog ate my shoes...[[why]] did you do this to me." "Lately it seems you've been really busy with work, and the puppy etc. I know you don't like to take time for yourself very often so I thought scaring you out of bed and taking you plant shopping would be a great self love activity. It will be the first time in a while you've done something fun! I hope you're not mad at me"
I wasn't sure if I should be [[greatful]] or [[angry]] at her. Thank you for being an amazing friend, everyone in this world deserves someone like you. "I have literally never been more upset with you before, I (text-style: "italic") [needed] my sleep this morning. All next week I have so many meetings and a ton of work to catch up on. I don't even want to be around you right now...
