EP - 15: The Final Goodbye
The sound of the code blue alarm still echoes in Odelia’s mind. She sits in the hospital waiting area, her hands shaking as she clutches Hudson’s hand tightly. Her heart pounds, the weight of the uncertainty crushing her.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Softly, her voice trembling, "Hudson… what if we lose him? What if it’s too late?"
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
His face pale, eyes red from crying, he squeezes her hand.
A nurse hurries past them, and Odelia stands up, her body tense with anticipation.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Rushing towards the nurse, her voice breaking, "How is he? Please, tell me he’s okay."
Nurse
With a sad look, she stops and meets Odelia’s gaze. "Your father is in critical condition, Miss Ginger. We’re doing everything we can, but it’s a waiting game. His heart is unstable… It’s very serious."
Odelia’s knees almost give way. She grabs onto Hudson, her breath shallow.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Fighting to hold back tears, she whispers, "No... no, he can’t be... he can’t be gone."
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
"Don’t say that, Odelia. We can’t think like that. He’s strong... he’s going to make it. He has to."
The minutes stretch into hours. Odelia watches the door to the emergency room, her every muscle tensed, waiting for someone to come out with news. The silence is deafening, and her mind races.
Odelia Ginger / FL
To herself, "I need him to be okay. I need to hear his voice again. Please, Dad."
Suddenly, a different doctor walks through the door. Odelia stands up immediately, her heart leaping into her throat.
Doctor
His voice is gentle but somber. "Miss Ginger, I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but your father… he passed away a few minutes ago."
The words hit Odelia like a physical blow. She feels her legs buckle, and she grabs Hudson’s hand, trying to hold on to him as if he’s the only thing keeping her from falling apart.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Her voice barely a whisper, "No… no, this can’t be real. It can’t be happening."
Hudson looks at Odelia, his eyes wide with disbelief, as if he doesn’t understand the weight of the doctor’s words. He shakes his head in confusion.
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
"No, Odelia, this isn’t right. They can’t be saying that. He can’t be gone… not like this."
Odelia’s heart shatters as she looks at her brother. She pulls him into an embrace, her own tears falling freely now. "I’m so sorry, Hudson. I’m so sorry. We didn’t get to say goodbye."
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
Crying against her shoulder, "No… no, I never got to tell him I loved him. I didn’t say goodbye, Odelia."
Doctor
The doctor steps forward, his expression sympathetic but firm. "We did everything we could, but your father’s heart gave out. We couldn’t save him."
Doctor
Pauses for a moment, then gently adds, "You can see him now, if you wish. But please, take your time."
Odelia nods slowly, the overwhelming grief threatening to swallow her whole. She looks at Hudson, her voice breaking.
Odelia Ginger / FL
"Come on, Hudson. Let’s say goodbye. We have to say goodbye."
They walk down the long hallway, their footsteps the only sound in the silence. Odelia feels as if she’s walking in a dream, her thoughts scattered. The world feels unreal, as if nothing makes sense anymore.
They reach her father’s room. Odelia hesitates for a moment, her hand resting on the door handle. She looks at Hudson, who’s clinging to her side.
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
Voice shaking, "I don’t know if I can do this, Odelia. I don’t know if I’m strong enough."
Odelia opens the door slowly, stepping into the sterile room. Her father lies motionless on the bed, the machines silent now. He’s so still, and for a moment, it feels like he’s just sleeping.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Kneeling beside him, her tears fall freely as she whispers, "Dad, I’m so sorry. I didn’t want you to go. I didn’t know… I didn’t know it was time."
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
Hudson walks over to his father’s side, his face wet with tears. He touches his father’s hand gently, as if hoping for a response, hoping for a miracle. "Dad… please wake up. I need you. Please."
Hudson Ginger / FL LIL BROTHER
His voice cracks, "I never told you how much I loved you, but I did. I always did."
Odelia Ginger / FL
Odelia places her hand on her father’s cold one, tears streaming down her face. "You were always there for me, Dad. I don’t know how I’m going to do this without you. I don’t know how we’ll get through this, but I’ll try. I’ll try for Hudson. I’ll try for you."
Doctor
Softly-
"Odelia u need to pay bills"
Doctor
"To take his body from hospital"
Odelia Ginger / FL
Softy with cracking voice*
