The Accidental Call- Part 2

"How can I help?" I paced back and forth scratching the back of my neck

"Oh for pete sakes." Nate mumbled before he snatched my phone and put it on speakerphone. "Sit." He pushed me into a chair and sat in the other.

"There's not a lot anyone can do right now.. The doctor told me I shouldn't be spending so much time at the hospital. She has a brain infection and she's not responding to the steroids." Her voice cracked and I could hear her tears falling.

"I'm so sorry Sarina." I felt defeated, there wasn't anything I could do to help. "Is there a surgery or something that they can do?"

"He said since it was technically a medical induced coma they won't be doing anything until they see some better brain activity. Her head was slammed against the concrete so her brain was already starting to swell when they did the surgery to help the hemorrhage. We just have to wait and it's killing me." She sobbed.

"And I'm sure you need money to pay for the hospital bills?" Nate scoffed.

"What?" Sarina said.

"Nate shut it." I grabbed my phone and took it into the soundbooth closing the door behind me.

"Who's Nate?"

"Hes just an arse friend of mine. Don't pay no mind to him love." I sighed as I sat on the stool.

"He's probably just looking out for you.. even if he thinks I'm some scammer, I have respect for him for protecting you.."

"He's still an arse, but I love him."

"I'm glad you have good friends." She sounded more distressed.

"Was there something else bothering you love?"

"There is one more thing.."

"What is it love?" I felt my heart pounding.

"They're releasing Kyle from the jail.. he's pressing charges against me saying I was the one who attacked Becky and he attacked me to save her.."

"What?!"

"I wish he would've killed me that night.." her voice was shaky.

"Don't you dare say that! You need to be there for Becky. You need to be there for yourself. You can fight this."

"I don't know how.. I'm just a stay at home mom.. I don't have a penny to my name. I don't even know where to search for a lawyer.. I don't even understand half of the things the doctors are telling me."

"Where are you from? I can help you find a lawyer at least."

"Louis, you're helping by just talking to me.. I'll figure this out on my own.. I just needed to talk to you and vent. I don't have a family outside of Becky."

"I'm always here to talk. I can still try and look for a lawyer for you. That's what the internet is for. Wait, what time is it over there? Its barely ten in the morning here."

"It's almost four in the morning here, I couldn't sleep. I got the call about Kyle pressing charges about  five yesterday and I haven't been able to process anything."

"Let me help look for a lawyer. I can look on the internet for a good cheap lawyer, I just need to know where I'm searching."

"I live in Wyoming. Gillette to be exact."

"..You realize you live in a hairless city right?" I broke out laughing.

"That is funny but that's not helping right now.. also not the first time I've heard that joke."
