Scene Two of "Last Goal"

This week I want to make up for some blog entries that were due in October. In October, I had little time to keep up with my posts, because I travelled a lot. Since, I’m here for this semester only I wanted to see as much of South Dakota as possible.

Until today, David never thought something bad could happen to him. Actually, he felt as healthy as somebody can feel except his nervousness, of course. He tried to recall what had happened a couple of hours ago. However, he still could not believe it.

He had headed for school since he was late again. Suddenly, he felt weird and a little dizzy and his legs became heavy. He fell. He was unconscious before he hit the ground. A concerned woman stopped by and called the ambulance. He was brought to the ER and they run some tests. When he woke up, he found himself in a hospital room. His body was aching. It was the same pain that he had been feeling for a couple of weeks only stronger. At this point he was not concerned yet, since a nurse told him he had a circulatory collapse and that he needs to stay for some more tests. He expected his parents coming soon. He got out of the bed and walked to the window. It was a very beautiful day. There was no cloud in the sky and it was very warm for that time of the year. Actually, he felt pity for all his classmates who had to take their finals today. He heard someone opening his room door and turned around. It was his mom and his dad. He was so happy to see them. But wait! His mom looked different today. She was very pale and had glossy eyes. His dad had this type of wrinkles on his forehead that did not mean anything good. When they saw him, they tried to smile. But both their smiles looked rather constraint than real. And his mother’s eyes told him she did not feel like smiling at all. Now the most creepy moment was reached and his mood changed rapidly.
His parents did not need to say anything. He already knew that something was wrong. His mother then said something to him what was even more scarry than her reddish puffy eyes. She told David that he better sat down because they had to talk to him…
