You Are My Life

Chapter 15

"Carl, please tell me if he's okay." Chris begged Dr. Carl Johnson, Sebastean boyfriend.

"Chris, we are doing everything we can. There's some swelling on his brain that worries me. That's all I can say right now."

"Chris, are you okay?" Sebastean asked, running towards her followed by Joe.

"Carl says there's some swelling on his brain that worries him. That's all he could tell me." She said crying, slumping on a chair.

"Carl is going to take good care of him, Chris. You should go home and change. You have blood all over your white dress." Joe said.

"I don't care, Joe. My husband is on an operating bed right now. I'm not leaving until I know if he's okay."

"I'll run over to your house and get you something to change to." Sebastean said leaving.

"What does it matter what I look like!" She yelled standing up.

"Chris, you need to calm down." Joe said as everyone was looking at them. "You shouldn't get altered in your condition." He said as she sat back down.

"The car just kept going, Joe. I couldn't look at its license plate because I was just worried about Bryan."

"Why did he run outside in the first place? Did you guys have an argument?"

"No, his dad showed up and was inappropriate with me, so Bryan ran after his car and this car came out of nowhere."

"Chris, wake up, Carl is coming this way." Joe said, waking her up. It had been two hours since she last saw Carl. She stood up fixing her shirt and sweats the Sebastean had gotten for her.

"Chris, he's out of surgery. He's out right now. When we move him to a room I'll come get you so you can see him." Carl said.

"How is he?" She asked.

"He's doing better than I thought. The swelling went down and everything seems to be good. We still have to wait for him to wake up, but he reacted to everything."

Three hours later, Carl came and got Chris to take her to Bryan's room. "He's still asleep, but he should be waking up soon. I'm sure he'll be happy to see your face."

"Thank you, Carl, for everything." Chris said as she walked towards her husband's bed. His face was all bruised and cut and he had a cast on his right arm. She walked to the other side and sat on the chair next to the bed and held his hand. She must've passed out because she woke up feeling a hand on her hair. "Chris? Is that you?" Bryan asked, smiling.

"Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"What happened to me?"

"You got run over by a car when you ran after your father."

"Why would I run after that bastard?"

"You don't remember? He was inappropriate with me."

"What the hell is wrong with that man? He doesn't respect anyone. I apologize for that. Where's Suzanne?"

"Suzanne?" Chris asked, referring to Suzanne Miles, his high school girlfriend that cheated on him. "Why would you want Suzanne here?"

"She's my girlfriend. She should be here. Why are you here by the way?"

"Bryan, what year is it?"

"What does it matter what year it is? Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy?"

"I'm your wife."

"Stop playing. Did Joe put you up to this?" She quickly stood up and walked towards the window. "You look different, grown up."

"Yes, I'm nineteen and you're twenty three. We just got married yesterday; we are having a child together. We love each other."

"This is not true. I know you always had a crush on me, but don't play me like this, Chris. Go get Suzanne and tell your brother I need to talk to him about your behavior."

She ran out of the room in tears and crashed into Carl. "What happened?"

"He doesn't remember the last couple of years." She said seeing Joe and running towards him.

Carl went into the room. "Bryan, what's the last thing you remember?"

"I was going to pick up my girlfriend for school." Bryan said, trying to sit up.

"That was almost four years ago, Black." Joe said entering the room.

"Stop with the joke, it's not funny anymore."

"Bryan, Chris is your wife, you guys got married yesterday. I was there." Carl said.

"And you are?"

"I'm Carl, Sebastean's boyfriend."

"Sebastean's gay? I knew it. Didn't I tell you, Joe."

"Bryan, this is no joke."

"Suzanne is the love of my life. Why would I marry your sister? Were we forced to?"

"You caught Suzanne cheating on you with your dad." Joe said.

"You're lying. She would never do that to me."

"Carl, what am I supposed to do?" Chris asked.

"I'm going to give him a sedative and run some tests. It might be a temporary amnesia from the accident."
