a band of cousins
i have an idea
So that day was mostly spent retelling it. At first my grandma didn't want to because she though I much be traumatized but I was fine.
Sydney told the story as if she was actually doing something. She said that she helped get all the girls to shore.
Everyone laughed. Isaac told the story and I believed him because I do remember some of it. He was selling himself short though.
Everyone tried to tell him but he wouldn't hear it.
Finally the doctor came in and asked me if I wanted any dinner. He said I could eat anything as long as I was careful to keep it healthy. I complained because that was the last thing I wanted at that time.
The doctor came in again. Nana and Papa both went into the hall with him.
Everyone was watching a movie, that I picked out. Isaac got up to go to the bathroom but came back right away.
"Your grandparents can't pay for this hospital. They might kick you out early."
"Good. I don't want to stay here anymore," I said. He gave me a look. I sighed.
"What can we do? Wait...I have an idea," I said.
Everyone crowded around my bed as I told them my idea. We would enter a music video contest I saw online. Isaac came up with the idea of entering more than one so that we had a better chance.
That night everyone went home, except for Isaac. He rarely left my side which I really appreciated.
The next week they came in so that we could get started. They brought everything we needed. My doctor wanted me to walk around so we grabbed a video camera and started walking around. I couldn't really be in them much because it was really hard for me to stay standing for more than two minutes. Isaac brought a wheelchair with us so when I got tired I sat in it and someone pushed me.
All together we entered five videos. It didn't take us as long as we thought. The deadline was in three days. We won first, third, fourth, and fifth. We got $1000, $500, $250, and $100 for a total of $1850.
