Asthma Attack Short Story

Improved Essays
We go and put there life jackets on.
After playing for awhile, Rose starts looking different, almost like she is sick. I grab the one turtle and stand up hand it to Rose, and then she starts coughing, her face becomes pale, she couldn’t talk well, she started breathing very fast and wheezing. I know what is happening, she is having an asthma attack. I get our parents and we take her to the hospital. 1 hour later, the doctors say she is fine to go and it wasn’t a really bad attack just a smaller attack, but she looked very fragile as we walked to the car. The doctor my dad tells me said she is fine, but she just was playing too hard probably, and started not being able to breathe well and the attack than happened. Rose might be a little nervous

My legs felt like jello. 2 straight hours in the water playing was tough. I fell into the chair sitting on the beach and so did my cousins. I looked and saw that everyone except Rose was still down here sitting in there chairs.
“Where did Rose go?” I ask my dad.
“I don’t know, she said she was tired and didn’t want to play. She is probably up in your guys room sleeping. She had a tough time today with the attack,” dad says.
“Yeah I guess you are right,” I respond.
“Are you guys done swimming for a bit,” dad shouts to everyone.
“Yeah,” we respond in unison.
“Than why don’t we all go change our outfits, and then go for a ride in the truck,” dad shouts, so all of us can here

I found Rose in our room crying, and I went in there and tried to calm her down, and it worked at the moment. She was scared to go play again and have the same thing happen she whispers to me. She didn’t want anyone else know because she knew her older sister Carly would make fun of her. I helped wipe away the tears for her and we waited in there so no one would know she was crying. When we walked to the other room, we found out that there was an order they established so there was no fighting. The order that is went was, my mom, my dad, Uncle Luke, Aunt Aubree, Aunt Mars, Kayleigh, Kane, and Aunt Mars changed Kole, and I would go last. Than after 30 minutes it was my turn to change into my clothes. How can everyone change so slowly, I thought to myself. After I changed, we all got into the vehicles barely. My dad drove his blue 2004 GMC Yukon, Uncle Luke in passenger's seat, in the back seat was Kane on one side and Aunt Mars on the other with Kole in between them, eating vanilla cupcake goldfish out of the blue bag with purple and lighter blue streaks in the center. In the far back seats it was Rose on one side, Kayleigh in the center of her and myself, a full vehicle. Sense we all didn't fit into one vehicle, we have to use Aunt Aubree’s brand new 2016 white GMC terrain, she is in the passenger's seat I saw, my mom in the driver's seat.
