That is my favorite part of every week. But when it comes to deciding what picture I should use, it all goes blank. If you could look up ANYTHING on Google Images, what would it be? I mean, what is the most AWESOME thing out there? .... um, on second thought, dont answer that. We all know your answer would be dicks, or sexy abs. But, please, I'd rather you refrain from that. Even though the second one DOES suit my fancy... mm, sexy abs. But not abs of STEAL or anything, those guys on those commercials are just discrusting.
I paited my nails like half an hour ago and I'm trying not to get my keyboard all green. It's a christmas green. I really like it, I'm getting in the Christmas mood. I dont know what to get Cole for christmas, its always the HARDEST thing to think of. I don't even remember what I got him last Christmas... hm... wait. why the heck am I talking about Christmas?
I SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT MY SON'S SECOND BIRTHDAY THATS COMING UP! November 29th. YAHOOO! Last year, the day before Zack's birthday, Cole was in a really bad... uh... mood, I guess. And he ran away to Calgary and got high and got into a fight with some guy. (The other guy didnt make it.) I HAVENT REALLY TOLD YOU THIS STORY IN DETAIL, HAVE I? Well, it went a little like this...
I woke up in the middle of the night, and Cole just WASNT there. We werent arguing or ANYTHING OF THE SORT. He was just gone. I stayed up all night, well, I slept, but it was pretty restless. He never answered any of my calls. And he wasnt back by nine in the morning, so Maria went on a little mission. I called Brennah and Jason. Jason answered.
Jason: Hello?
Me: Hi. Do you know where Cole is? I don't know where he went.
Jason: Oh...
He totally knew.
Me: His car is gone. He's been gone since at least one thirty. Cause he wasnt there at 1:30 when I woke up.
Jason: Oh... uh.... thats not good...
Me: Do you have any idea where he is?
Jason: Uh... he was talking to me last night. I don't know where he is but he said he wanted to get high...
Me: Do you know who he's with?
Jason: No idea.
Me: Call him, he'll probably answer to you and then can you call me back?
Jason: Sure.
Okay so skip a few minutes. The phone rang.
Me: Hi.
Jason: He's in Calgary, but he wont tell me who he's with. He says he's safe but he doesnt sound right.
Me: Do you know what he did last night at all?
Jason: I dont know. I think he was with a girl.
Me: Kay, thank you. Tell me if you know anything else blah blah blah blah
Jason: blah blah blah blah blah blah bye
I didnt have time to be mad at the fact that he jsut ditched, got high, and more than likely cheated on me. I was too busy being RESPONSIBLE. I brought Zack and Skye, Tommy went to a friends house. The car ride was so long, but the kids were really good. When I got close I called Cole and he picked up.
Cole: HELLO?
Ma: Hi Cole, its Maria. Calm down. Answer these questions.
Cole: Okay, what?
Maria: Are you high?
Cole: Yes and drunk but I want to come home and I’m sorry and-
Maria: Okay, Cole. Where’s your car?
Cole: I don’t know Maria, I’m sorry, Maria wait. I’m hurt. I think-
Maria: Okay, whatever you do, don’t get in that car. Are you okay?
Cole: No, no, it hurts. My head hurts and my face.
Maria: Do you remember what happened?
Cole: Got into a fight. Cause there was a guy and he pissed me off so I punched him.
Maria: What are you feeling?
Cole: Tired. I’m so tired but it’s not even normal and I’m bleeding too much and I think you should call 9-1-1 because I forget what their number is.
Maria: Okay, love. Tell me what you see and where you are.
Cole: I’m in a back alley like in the movies. And by the alley is a hotel thing. A crappy one. It’s in the main city part I think.
Maria: Can you read me a sign you see?
Cole: Holiday- in- Express-
Maria: I’ll call you back. Stay awake.
Cole: Where are you going Ma? Don’t leave.
Ma: I’m going to call 9-1-1 for you and I’ll call you right back.
Cole: Thank you Maria, thank you. I’m sorry I love you.
Maria: I love you too, bye.
Then I called 911, then found the alley. And i was SO shocked. There was him, and this other guy, on the pavement. Bleeding. A lot. Like, they were DYING. More the other guy than Cole. Cole's head and lip were the worst. The other guy... well, he was bleeding so much i didnt know where it was coming from. They were both unconcious.
Maria: COLE, WAKE UP.
He didnt. But he was breathing and he seemed like he'd be okay. Then I heard this voice. It was really weak. I turned over to the other guy. he was dying.
Ma: Hang in there, the ambulance is coming.
I reached into his jean pocket and found a cell, then I strolled down his contacts list.
Maria: You married? Just nod.
He nodded no.
Maria: You live with your mom?
He nodded no again.
Maria: Live with your girlfriend?
Man: Katie.
He whispered. I found the Katie on his list and dialed the number.
Ka: Hi, where are you?
Ma: Hi. Sorry this isn’t your boyfriend. He got into a fight in some back alley with my husband. I called an ambulance for the both of them.
There was silence for a few long seconds.
Ka: Is he okay?
Ma: He’s half- Conscious but he has serious injuries. The ambulance Is here now. Will you meet me at the hospital? My name’s Ma Faith.
Ka: Okay, thank you. I’ll be right there. Can you stay on the phone with me?
Ma: Yeah. But I have to talk to the ambulance people really quick.
Ka: Okay.
Ambulance guy?: Is this your husband?
Ma: No. But help both of them please.
Ambulance guy?: For sure.
They started loading the guys and I talked to Ka on the phone, and we both comforted each other. I got in the my car with the babies and the long trip to the hospital began. I talked to Ka the whole way and we got to the hospital around the same time.
I was in the waiting room, sitting with my babies, X playing with a single toy on my lap, Sk sleeping in her carrier. A girl went up to the desk, and I wasn’t paying attention until I heard her say my name.
Ma: I’m right here.
I called out.
Ma: Are you Ka?
She looked at me and shook her head in amazement.
Ka: Yeah.
She took the chair beside me.
Ka: you’re… really pretty. Sorry if that sounds weird…
Ma: It’s not. Thanks. I like your eyes. Green. I like green eyes.
Ka: Thanks. Are these yours?
Ma: Yeah.
Ka: They’re cute. Really cute. How old are they?
Ma: This guy, X, he turns one tomorrow. And the baby girl, Sk, she’s 2 months.
Ka: My God, she looks like a new born.
Ma: She’s pretty premature.
Ka: Oh.
Ma: Look, I’m sorry for what my husband did. He never does these things, he’s a good guy. He just… well, something happened and he went out and got all high and drunk and screwed up. I live near Edmonton and he was all the way out here. I had no idea.
Ka: It wasn’t your fault, and I don’t totally blame… what’s his name?
Ma: Co.
Ka: I don’t completely blame Co. A lot of it was Steven’s fault. He gets angry easily. Got mad at me, probably got mad at Co.
Ma: I hope he’s okay.
But when I saw him in the alley, I knew he wouldn’t be okay.
Ka: I do too. And Co. I hope he’s okay. Especially if he has two babies. They’re really close in age, aren’t they?
Ma: Nine months apart.
Ka: Wow.
Ma: *smiles* Yeah.
OKAY, THIS IS GETTIN INTO TO MUCH DETAIL. Anyway, Steven passed away and Cole was okay. :( I'm sorry. This was supposed to be about my week,wasnt it? Oops.
SO, ZACKS SECOND BIRTHDAY! It will be much better than the first.
ANOTHER THING TO BE EXCITED FOR IS HARRY POTTER! Cole got us tickets for the PREMERE! YES, I GET A DATE WITH COLE! SCOOORRE! Not much happened this week. Man, my life has to get more exciting. I really am excited for Christmas. And I love Katy Perry. A LOT. I'm hungry.
