English Short Story : Midnight lonely


# my first short story, that I make for one of lecture assigment,, this not really good. but I hope you like it. 

check it !!

In a hospital treatment room, a teenage boy lying weak in bed.
Cold, so cold tonight.  Same as the previous nights. I saw the window open, letting the wind more stab my body. I saw my mother had falling asleep, I do not have the heart to wake him.

Two months ago, since doctors sentenced me suffering from end-stage brain cancer, and said that my life will not be long anymore, my mother for a moment helplessly limp when she heard the news, just one year my dad gone to the god, left me and my mother because the same disease, now mother must be willing to turn me loose to go too.

This is how I spent nights, lonely, alone, with the fear that has always preoccupied, I'm afraid to close my eyes, I'm afraid if I fell asleep I couldn’t  get up anymore. My mother, I wont to grow sadness of my mother with my death, but what can I do?, though doctors have determined my fate. Every day I could only hold this pain in my head,

"God, I do not want to die so soon"

I tried to move from my bed, although it is very difficult. I'm trying to reach the window open, my limp hands holding to the cupboard near my bed.

“Brukkk”...   I fell

My body was lying on the floor,my  tears began to drop, I looked at my mother, she didn’t wake up.

I felt my head ached, I couldn’t control anymore, my brain was going out of my head.
"God, are you going to call me now?"

My eyes began to dim and everything went black.

***

My eyes are open, "where is this?". so cold and so dark, what I'm still in the hospital?
No! This is different, I was in a place that I had never visited before.

"Greyson,, come here!"

I heard a voice calling me, where did that voice come? Gaze towards the future,

"Light"

"What is an angel?"

I was so scared, I realize this is another world, I, I was dead .
I keep going to follow the sound that comes from a light.

"who are you?" I ask  him,

"Greyson, come closer"

Suddenly I stop, I saw someone I knew, a year ago he left me and my mother gone for good,

"Father?"

She saw towards me when I call him, his pale face smiling at me.


"Greyson, come with me !"

            But at that time my father said it, my father's body melt into a very bright light, more and more light, until I had my eyes closed.

"Father .." I’m screaming,

And then  i open my eyes, although my slanted eyes could not open completely, but I saw the mother was standing beside me. Her face looked tired.

"I'm not dead yet?"

" oh, thanks god, Greyson, you're mine I the only one" mother hugged me my voice came out as a whisper,

***

“Why God did not call me now, whether because he was pity to my mother?”  My mother did not have anyone else but me.
I'm resigned to it, if I was god still gives me a chance to live, I will live it. But if God calls me, I'll go. It was fate.

At midnight, as usual this body to feel lonely, cold, and dark.
I don’t  know until when, the midnight lonely accompany me.
