A Christmas Wish Come True (part ll)

Chapter Three

Maria's POV:

I walk over to the counter of the bar with gritted teeth.

A female that is wearing an apron along with a black dress looks at me.  "Whatcha need? A type of drink that makes you forget about a stupid boy?"

I laugh slightly at that.  "I guess you could say that, but this isn't for me.  Could you get me your most powerful drink that makes you so drunk you tell people things that are actually supposed to be a secret?"

She smirks." Of course, i got just the right thing for you." She gives me a type of beer and even though it's sealed, i can smell it.

I grin as i look up at her.  "Thank you."

She nods while smiling then goes back to work. I walk back over to Mike and Amy where i see Amy passed out on the floor.

*Amy!" I yelp throwing  the beer on the table as i grab her. I glare at Mike.  "what the heck did you give her?!"

Mike just laughs as i cradle Amy and I point at him.  "I'm gonna find you again and you'll be sorry you did that."

He laughs as i drag Amy out of the bar and into the car.

I gently lay her in the backseat, shutting the door. Taking a deep breath i make sure she still has a pulse and is still breathing.  After i know she's still stable, i quickly drive to the hospital.

We get there, finally.

I drag Amy inside  I grab her a wheelchair, putting her in it.  I get to the waiting room, fill out something, and wait. 

Why? She needs help! I scream in my head as i keep checking her breathing and pulse.  She's getting weaker.  i yell for help. A couple paramedics come in asking me questions.  I can't really tell them since I don't know what happened.  I just point at an empty room.

"Get her inside! She's losing her breathing because of you jerks! She's about to die because of you! Go go go!" I know I sounded bossy but the thing is, is i was not gonna lose another person.  Plus, i think that'll take me over the tilting point if she dies too.  I need her.

They quickly get her hooked up to machines in the room. They start running some blood tests too.  I follow their movements, waiting for one to scream "oh no!" Or something like that.

One finally came over to me.  Oh great I know this one! She's a really good nurse too! Her name's Alison.

"Hi Allie." I say as I look at the papers that are about Amy. 

"Hello Maria." She replies.  "Oh, do you know what happened exactly? And don't worry, your friend here is stable at the moment and will be able to leave in a couple of days."

I nod as i stare at what things where in her veins.  A type of posion.  I look up at Allison.  "Did you see this?"

She nods. "It's something we've been seeing a lot, we've even been seeing it in drugs that are for actually helping people, like anti-depressants, and types of chemotherapy.  Thoughs are only a couple of them."

I furrow my eyebrows thinking, starring at the paper. Drugs, anti-depressants, how's he doing that? I sigh,  standing up.  "Alright, I'll be back, call me immedtly if something happens.  If she wakes up, then call me right away." I walk out, not turning back, but keeping the paper clutched in my hands.

I need to find him. I say in my head with gritted teeth. Him and his friends must be put in a cell for the rest of their days.

It was night, but i still couldn't even find a trace of him.

I sigh in frustration as i drive back to the hospital.  I was worried about Amy.  She's really the only thing I have left. Plus, her father Joey just started getting better.  I don't need him going down that dark road again.  But i decided since  i haven't gotten a call, I'll go back to the house to check up on joey. 

When I open the door, i hear people fighting.

I creep inside and my eyes widen.  Joey's been cheating on his wife.  I hadn't even realized that he was married! How did Amy not do anything sooner?!

These thoughts rushed through my head as i watch joey's wife yell at him as he looks down.

I walk in really worried, putting a hand gently on joey's wife's shoulder.  "Ma'am?"

She jumps then looks over at me, gritting  her teeth.  "You another one of his stupid girlfriend's too?!"

I shake my head vointly.  "No ma'am, your husband is a nice man, but I never have the intention of becoming more than friends.  I'm a friend of your daughter's Amy."

I felt her body relax the smallest bit, looking at me,  trying for a smile.  "Oh, well, then, hello, my name is Kennedy, what's yours?" She holds out he hand for me to shake.

I grab her hand then shake it.  "Maria."

She nods as she lets go of my hand.  She stares back at joey gritting her teeth.  "Now you, i don't wanna see for awhile!"  She storms away as joey looks down.

"What happened?" I ask as i look in-between joey and his girlfriend. 

"My pills, i don't know." He states as he keeps looking down.  "I forgot about my wife."

My eyes widen a little.  "How do you forget about your own wife?" I wonder.

He shrugs.  After a moment he winces while starting to lean on the counter.  Trying to grab the counter for some support he ends up collapsing. 

"JOEY!"  Me and his girlfriend yelp.
