“Ugh! My head….”

“Renee? You’re awake?”

“Yes.”

“You’re awake! Yes! Thank you, God! Thank you, Jesus!”

“Gabe, settle down. I don’t know why but I feel like I only have minutes left.”

“Don’t say that!”

“I’m sorry. But tonight I want you to go to my house and open the second drawer to the botton on my desk. On the right side. I want you to read everything in there.”

“How am I supposed to get in?”

“Take my key out of my purse. Go there at about 7. My mom will be at school.”

“Uh. Okay. I guess I’ll have to leave soon then. You’ve been asleep for about 23 hours now. It’s about 5:30.”

“Dang.” Renee was very quiet. She closed her eyes.

“Still tired?”

“Can’t tell.”

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you.”

“Bye.”

“Bye.” Gabriel was kind of disappointed that she didn’t repsond to his feelings.

Later that night Renee had another attack. The doctors tried to help all they could. Eventually she stopped jerking. She twitched a little bit more. Then it was over.
