Guardian Angel Narrative
Guardian Angel
My gut instincts told me to check on him, I was right.
It was a extremely hot day for early June, my head ached as if I had a hammer continuously banging on my skull, and it felt like I had just spun around in a bunch of circles with the ground moving. This concussion, the one that was causing all of this, was getting on my last nerve, I was so sick and tired of all the pain. I put my hand up to my face and it felt hot to touch, I could feel little drips of sweat run down my neck as I dragged myself through the thick green grass that was dewy from the previous chilly, summer night. The color on my face was flushed with a pink rose color that made me look like I had run a marathon and the air felt dry as I gulped in big breaths …show more content…
The expression on his face changed from a relieved expression to a saddened one and he nodded his head indicating I could call. Before I could pick up the phone he said, “Maura, I want you to know that I am so proud of the girl you have become and whatever happens you need to remember that.” I smiled and nodded my head before turning around and picking up the phone.
Finally, I was able to call 9-1-1 and a few ambulances came immediately all agreeing that he was seriously ill from malnutrition, deciding they would need to take him to the hospital. The frantic events did not help with my concussion but the adrenaline that kept me going erased the pain and I was able to take care of him. I was able to take care of my best friend.
Later on, in his hospital room when everyone had arrived, he thanked me and said he might not have made it if I hadn’t decided to check on him and called me his Guardian Angel.
Even though this was a stressful and hard thing to get through, I can’t help but be grateful that this event made me realize that when things get tough I don’t give up and I don’t fall
