watching that bullet hit his head haunts me every night

"joey don't!"

the sound of my screams and cries piling on top of the sound of gunshots

"don't kill him joey" i shout

my mind was going dizzy, this can't be real. joey would never kill ethan

my body starts to shake in the chair, my hands and legs were still tied around a rope and the burning feeling didn't bother me

"don't kill him" i whisper, my breath getting taken away from me

i couldn't breathe

my heart was racing but my mind was slowing down. i think i might be the one dying right now

and with that the bullet hit his head

the only sound i heard was crying, a baby crying and it was so loud, why was it so fucking loud?

"grab her" i hear

my eyes widen and i see a bright light, i try breathing for air and feel something getting pulled over my mouth

"did she pass out?" i hear

i was hearing a whole bunch of different things, a baby crying, a ringing noise, something beeping, mumbling, and it was all hitting me at once i couldn't process all of it at once...

my eyes were still on the light that was above me. it was quickly pulled away and i was now looking at a ceiling

the bed i'm laying on is now adjusted and i realize i'm in a hospital room. the nurses quickly pull needles out my arm and rip off the bandages

"what are you doing?" i force myself to say i had no energy in me

one of them looks at me with wide eyes, "she's awake!"

"what?" i hear another gasp

"she's up! go tell the doctor!" she jumps

i shut my eyes and take a deep breath, a man walks in with a white coat, he lifts my eyelid and flashes a light

"give her some water, bring the baby" he lets go of my eyelid

the baby?

the bed gets heavier and i feel something wet splash against my face, slapping back all my energy

i gasp for air and my eyes start to see more clear now, "what the-"

a towel is shoved in my face and i grab it from the lady, rubbing the water off my face and neck

"quick drink this" the lady to my left hands me a cup and the other lady to my right pulls to towel from my hands

why were they doing this all so fast?

i grab the water and chug it down like it's alcohol and give her back the empty cup

"lay down, breathe. do you need me to fix your bed?" the nurse grabs my arm and slowly injects a needle

"um, no i'm fine" i stare down at her hands, she slowly pulls the shot out my arm and bandages it

my attention goes to the nurse holding a baby wrapped in a blanket in her hands, a smile grows on my face and i lift myself off the bed to see but they push me back down

she walks closer to me and i put my arms out, "it's a boy"

my heart skips a beat

she puts my boy in my arms and i bite my bottom lip, i wish ethan was here to see this
