It was the worst flight of my entire life! It had taken me six hours to get through security as thousands of people were checked by airport doctors for the virus. My entire body was tired of being poked and prodded. Once aboard the plane I had gotten stuck with one very old woman probably in her 80s who wouldn't shut up. The woman Ranting about her entire family being down with a virus and it kept Making me think about my grandma being sick even worse. If it were a legal, I'd be tempted to smack the woman in the face but I was raised better than to do that anyway.
After takeoff, which is the part I hate most about flying, I took out my sketchpad and envisioned a large male lion, quickly making a thumbnail for my position and then starting a rough sketch. By the time I was done with the drawing two hours had flown by. The only way I could walk out the old woman's voice was by putting in my headphones and turning them at full blast.
I knew ahead of time that I couldn't cope with a layover so I got a flight that went straight through nonstop. I was extremely lucky that I had, I didn't think I could cope with being at another airport longer than I had to. They are poor at New York was one of the worst ones in the world. I had to go through another check to make sure I wasn't sick before they would let me go claim my baggage. A few people were coughing here and there and it kind of friend me. If it weren't for my grandma being sick, there was no way in the world I would be in New York City. The woman had no one else to care for her and I knew I had to do it. Letting out a large sigh, I went down the steps and out the main entrance, sliding down a yellow taxi and telling it to take me directly to the hospital. I was hoping it wasn't too late to see my grandmother before she passed away.

I waited in line at Starbucks to get my morning cup of coffee, after coming off of a week of nights and doing a week of days to say I was tired was an understatement. The hospital has been packed lately with everyone becoming ill from this virus, no one knows where it originated from or if there is any cure so all the doctors have been working over time. being a medical student interning at the hospital meant that I got the horrible shifts of late nights and early mornings some times I would just sleep in the lunch room as there was no point in going home.
walking back to the hospital I kept muttering to myself that this is worth it that I will one day be a doctor myself and be able to help put an end to this virus and suffering that is happening. sipping my coffee I think about my rounds and the poor families affected, these people where someone's children, siblings mothers fathers and grandparents I couldn't imagine how it must feel having someone so close to your heart in hospital with some mysterious illness. not every patient had this illness some where in for surgery others were in to give birth but a majority were here because of the illness that has swept across newyork.
sighing to myself I walk up to the nurses station and grab my list of patients that I will be tending to before heading off. first on my list is an older woman bed ridden by an illness, no one has been able to determine if it is the same illness that is affecting everyone else or if its just another sickness that has been misdiagnosed. either way I am hoping she pulls through as the worst part of my job is having to break bad news.

I rushed inside the hospital, checking in at a nurses station and getting my grandmother's room number. I jogged to the room that my grandmother was in and there she was, sitting up like she shouldn't be in coughing up a storm, blood dripping down her mouth. I rushed to my grandmother's side and patted her back. I was sincerely scared as my heartbeat picked up, nearly racing out of my chest. "I need help in here!" I shouted as I rub my grandmother's back, and then started murmuring to her in a soft calm voice "everything is going to be okay Nana. I'm here now and I'll take care of you." I said to her, not knowing what else to do.
I blame myself for her being ill, I should have been off at college! I should've been at home with her and then maybe she wouldn't have gotten sick. Tears started to fall down my cheeks as my grandma started to talk but couldn't. "It's okay grandma, I'm happy to be here for you and I miss you. I'm sorry that I was gone so long, I wish I would've been here sooner." I said in a sad voice, clearly regretting my decisions. "Someone, please help us!." I said frantically as my grandmother started puking blood and her eyes rolled back. My grandmother fell backwards and I rolled her to her side.

Rushing in to my first patients room I hear the cries of a woman screaming for help. slamming the door open I see a petite blond girl leaning over who I assume is her grandmother, Miss I need you to move so I can check the patient" I say in a calm professional tone as the last thing I wanted to do was make her worry and stress the patient. Seeing the amount of blood on the bedding I knew that this wasn't a good sign, "miss I need you to leave the room immediately" I demand as I page any extra nursing staff to come to the room asap
checking the old woman's' vitals I could tell this wasn't going to end well, her pulse was weak and she was dehydrated. increasing her drip I inject morphine in to her system so that it will put her at ease with the pain she is feeling; all the while I could feel the girls eyes on me. oh god someone please escort her out of the room if this takes a turn for the worse I don't want her to see it, I think to myself as this is something that will stay with her forever.
the nursing staff I paged came rushing in and the rest went by in a blur.

I was relieved when a petite dark brown haired medical staff woman came in. I wasn't sure if she was a doctor, a nurse, or someone else but at that rate I would have settled for anyone. "Please, help her!" By this point I was hysterical, afraid that I will lose my grandma very soon and wouldn't be able to say goodbye to her. I was really annoyed when the woman told me to get out of the room and glared at her "she's my grandma! I just got here, she has no one else and I can't leave her!" I said frantically, willing to do anything to be with her just for a few more minutes. "I'm here Nana, I love you. Everything is going to be fine." I said in a gentle voice, trying to sooth my grandma as best as possible. I could tell that she wasn't going to make it much longer and my heart was broken.
I wiped out my eyes, trying to clear them of the tears so that I could see. It was to no avail as they just got cloudy with tears again. I sniffled loudly in my long blonde hair got mad it to my face because of all the tears and sweat. I kept out of the way, allowing the woman to work on my Nana as I clung to her hand, feeling as if I could somehow save her just by being there. "Everything will be fine, don't worry." I tried to soothe her yet again, not knowing what else to say.

we finally managed to get the patients vitals at a safe level, despite the grandchild being in the way. turning to the grandchild who clutches her grandmothers hand I can see that she has been crying through out the whole ordeal. "your grandmother is in a stable condition for the time being we have given her a strong does of morphine for any pain she might be experiencing so she will most likely sleep for a little while. when she wakes up if you are here just call a nurse and we will check her vitals again, until then just keep her comfortable" I inform her of everything we have done.
she looks dazed and confused but slightly relieved that her grandmother is ok for the time being, as I gather my belongings I head out the door to go check on my other patients for the day. I didn't have the heart to tell her that her grandmother may only have a few days left, if she came all this way to spend her last moments with her they should be happy ones not moments filled with the thought that any minute she might depart us.
sighing I run a hand through my long hair as I head down the hall to check on my next few patients. "its going to be a long day"

the tears wouldn't stop, as the woman injected some sort of medicine into the Iv. Why was all this happening to my Nana? She was a really good person and had taking care of me my entire life. Well, most of my life. My parents had died when I was really young in my Nana was there for me when it happened. She was the person who sent me to school, took me in the night and tell me bedtime stories. She was the only person that had attended my graduation and she was the one whom I had gone to for sex advice. I know, that's really weird that someone would ask their grandmother for sex advice but she's what I had.. Thanks to my grandmother, I had lived a very fun life after my parents had died. She made sure that I had everything that I wanted including designer handbags and the newest Jimmy choos no matter how expensive the heels were. My grandmother had also paid for my college education which I was still in the process of getting but the University had been closed down due to the virus. It was way too easy for people to get infected while being at the University. I had left Florida and come to New York so that I could be with my grandmother and because the school was shutting down for the time being.
I nodded to the slim woman with the dark brown hair "thank you for doing what you could. I know that she's probably not going to last long much longer but I'm glad that you stabilized her for the time being." I looked down at my grandmother as she was now resting peacefully instead of hacking up a lung. I sat down beside her and slid my hand over hers once more, gently squeezing "I love you grandma, I'm here for you no matter what." I knew that I couldn't change the past but I could be here for my grandma in her final moments and right now that's what matter to me.

After delivering bad news to three patients families who died from the virus I was finally allowed a break. their deaths weighed heavily on my mind as I replayed the look of their faces and the pain and heartache that crossed each room when I said those words. making my way to the cafeteria I try to clear my thoughts, it is all apart of the job yet it doesn't make it any easier I mean how can you possibly not be affected by death? a life is a life and even if that life isn't someone who I know, I look after these patients so to have to deliver the news after I have spent all this time caring for them will never get easier.
grabbing another cup of coffee I grab a tray of sandwiches and a jello cup I head to a empty table, the cafeteria was filled with mostly staff at the hospital but there were a few family members and some patients that were well enough to wonder the halls. sipping my coffee I look at the clock only another eight hours to go, I had managed to score a double today as we needed all hands on deck as the medical board just updated the warning on the virus saying its spreading faster then anticipated at this rate all of new York and surrounding areas would be affected.
resting my head in my hands my mind wonders to if there is a cure to this virus and how far will we have to go to find it?

I spent the next several hours with my grandmother, falling asleep against the rail of her bed. In the dream things were normal again. Nana and I were sitting outside on the back porch, watching the fireflies come out as the sun set. Somehow, my mother and father were with us and we were in the house to my parents used to live in. I had a glass of sweet tea and so did grandma as he both rocked and shares mom my parents were cuddled up on an outdoor loveseat.. I found peace in the stream and things seem to be quite normal again. The dream however it didn't last nearly long enough as my parents told me that they had to go and my grandma was coming with them. I shook my head "no, you can't take her with you. She's all that I have left and I will give her up." I said as tears started training streaming down my cheeks, my heart breaking into 1 million pieces. It was like this at all happen before and yet it hadn't because they were all clearly before me. I pleaded with my mother as she started to pull my grandmother away. The sun was set all the way now and it was dark, the darkness seeming to be an endless void as my mother and father started through the void into my grandmother with them. I called out to them "take me with you!" But it was too late, they were gone.
There was a weird beeping sound in my dream, it was quite loud and I didn't know what to make of it. I softly called out in my sleep and when I woke the beeping sound ended up being my grandma's machine. It would seem that she flatlined while was asleep and maybe the dream was more real than I had thought. Had my parents taken Nana with them? Perhaps my dream had allowed me to say goodbye to her in some odd way? I looked down at my grandma, her eyes were closed and she looked peaceful enough. I bowed my head over her hand and whispered softly "goodbye grandma, I hope you with mom right now and she's looking after you. Don't worry about me, I'll find some way through this." I said with a shaky voice while crying my eyes out.

my pager started to be letting me know that one of my patients needed me, the room number was that of the old woman who I saw this morning. this cant be good. I think to myself as I rush to the room, running through the halls I stop at the door and see that heart monitor had flat lined and the slim blonde was holding her hand whispering what I could guess is a good bye to her grandmother. not wanting to interrupt I quietly walk in to the room and over to the bed.
"excuse me miss, I am going to have to examine the patient" walking over to the machine I take down information and check her pulse and, the patient had passed on but at least it was in her sleep and was peaceful. " I am sorry for your loss miss, your grandmother was a lovely woman" I tell her sincerely as I had grown fond of the old lady from my shifts that I was lucky enough to get her as a patient. I place a comforting hand on her shoulder as I tell her this hoping to make her feel like she isn't alone.

Lydia nods as her emotions started to go numb and she website her eyes, clearing all the tears away. She knows that there is stuff that she has to do "think you, I'm sure that she liked you a lot. Thank you for being here for her when I couldn't. I was off out-of-state at college when she got sick and I had finals to study for, and then it didn't matter about school anyway because they closed it down." She sniffled and pulled her hair back out of her face "my grandmother wanted cremated and it's probably best because of the virus. I don't have anywhere to stay and I don't have much money to my name. My grandmother doesn't have a house anymore because she was staying in a home, any idea what I should do?" The girl said quite afraid she was going to end up homeless.
