"C-call Chris" I say to Mom.
She calls him instantly on her phone.
"Hello?"
"CHRIS! IT'S SAM!" she says panicking.
Chris jolts out of bed holding the phone close.
"What's wrong?!"
"Sam got shot by his father, William" she says crying loudly.
"O-oH GOD! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"HEADING TO THE HOSPITAL COME QUICK!" she says panicking.
"ON IT!"
She hangs up and takes me quickly to the car. I groan bleeding heavily through my clothes.
"Shhh I know baby I know, I'm taking you" she says quietly with her voice shaking.
I fall in the back seat as she speeds through the lights crying hard. She ran a few and brought me to the hospital quicker than the ambulance.
"HELP! MY SON! HE NEEDS URGENT CARE IMMEDIATELY!" she says panicking.
A doctor comes in with a stretcher, Mom comes right behind me. I pass out tiredly, it was too hard to keep my eyes open any longer. She stays in the hall meanwhile the doctors took care of me.
[About 10 minutes later]
Chris comes running in fast making obnoxious noises. He dings the reception bell fastly panicking.
"Yes? Yes! What can I help you"
"IS THERE A MAN NAMED SAMMY RAMIREZ?!"
"Yes sir but the patient is in procedure" she says calmly.
"BUT CAN I SEE HIM AFTERWARDS!"
"I'm not sure sir, you have to pay to go i-"
"I DON'T CARE I NEED TO SEE MY HUSBAND ASAP!!" he says panicking turning red all over.
"Ok that'll be 7.50 and you need to wait 30 minutes"
"30 MINUTES FOR WHAT?! I NEED TO SEE MY HUSBAND DAMMIT!" he says banging the table.
"Sir, we need you to remain calm"
"NO! I'M NOT GONNA REMAIN CALM! THAT'S MY HUSBAND DAMMIT AND HE HAS A DAUGHTER COMING! I CAN'T LOSE HIM DURING THIS FUCKING PREGNANCY LADY!" he says breaking down crying.
"Sir I understand but you need to calm down or else we have to kick you out" she says holding his hands.
He breaks down crying on the floor.
"I left him for 20 minutes and this shit happens" he says knocking his head on the wall.
He looks up and sees William. William smirks.
"IT WAS YOU" he says running to him ready to punch.
But Chris instantly collapsed from being so weak from crying. He just hugged his knees and smelt his shirt with my cologne on it.
[About 4 hours later]
"CHRIS!" I say walking on crutches.
"*gasp* BABY!" he says running to hug me.
He hugged me tight, I was red in excruciating pain from the surgery they did on my back.
"Sorry baby" he says smooching my head.
I smile and kiss his cheek as best as I could. I was very weak from all the blood I lost. He helps me out to the lobby, Mommy follows behind me and smiles to see how happy I was with Chris.
I look back to her and go close to her.
"I'm sorry Momma, I'm gonna leave for the night, got some school work to finish and Chris will take care of me" I say looking up to her.
She smiles and kisses my head.
"Go ahead baby, do what makes you happy, I'm proud of you" she says smooching my cheeks.
I make a giddy smile and walk away with Chris.
Chris helps me and I make my way to the car.
"Easy baby easy" he says holding my shoulder.
I groan in pain and collapse on the way to the parking lot in pain.
"It's alright baby, you're almost there baby" he says rubbing my thigh.
I clench my jaw in excruciating pain and tighten my hands.
"Shhhh let go of those fists baby, you're gonna be alright without those fights of pain" he says unraveling my fingers.
I take a deep breath out and try again with his help. Man did this hurt, my third time getting surgery. I always loved Momma but I couldn't always trust her, I never trusted William, and yes I'm saying his name because he is not apart of my life no matter what. I don't care about him, I care about my boy.
"That's it baby, almost there, small steps with me" he says holding my hand.
I squeezed it tight trying not to fall in pain again, and this time, I made it. Yay!
"You did it!" He says clapping and kissing me in the passenger side.
I smile and kiss him again.
"Alrighty, whatcha want for lunch" he says driving slowly.
"Hmm.. how about chicken and steak bites with rice" I say trying to calm down.
I had so much anxiety, I felt panicky and anxious cause I had just gotten out of surgery. I was having a panic attack.
"Baby? Baby! Baby! Calm down" he says holding my hand and pulling over.
I hid in my hands sweating excessively, I was having a PTSD moment. I remembered my biological parents, I was left in the woods and some stranger took me. Oh god.. my parents left me. I remembered life growing up flashing before my eyes. I breathed fast, and so many tears came down.
"Baby, baby listen to me, you're alright, you're gonna be ok" he says calmly holding my hands looking at me.
I looked at him with my red blooded eyes and hiccuped.
"Listen to me, take deep breaths, breathe with me" he says demonstrating his breathing.
I calmed down and breathed with him, he held me in his lap rubbing my head. I cried loudly in his chest with my nails digging in my hand making them bleed.
"Shhhhh, you're alright" he says putting his head on mine.
"Take this baby, it'll help" he says giving me a anxiety medication
I didn't care, I took it. He rubbed my hands and cleaned them with the first aid kit he had.
I finally calmed down and look at him.
"I'm here baby, I'm never leaving your side ever again, I don't care if I even have to cancel my meetings, I'm never leaving you again" he says holding me close.
"I don't want you to go, ever" I say in a sad voice.
"I know baby, I'm not going to I promise" he says holding my head to his chest.
I sniffle and relax finally in his lap and hug his body. He smiles and kisses me deeply. I kiss back and hold his face.
"Now let's get you to my place to let you rest, I'll order some food and ask your mom to bring your stuff over" he says starting the car again.
I nod and play some blues, Chris loved anything I put on.
