Trapped

The next day

When I woke up all I wanted to do was go down to the station and see what they found out. But I had to wait and my patients are slowly running out. I know that they found Kyle and I want to see him so badly. I can't because his wound is getting treated. He's in the hospital and I am aware that there are cops guarding the door. Then my phone beeps.

"Hello?"I answered it.

"Layla you can come see Kyle now,"it was his mom.

"Okay I'm on my way,"I replied.

......

I sat down on the chair next to Kyle. I held his hand and he opened his eyes.

"Layla,"he smiled.

"Kyle,"I blushed.

I squeezed his hand.

"Are Maya and Johnny alive?"he asked me.

"I don't know,"I shrugged.

He looked at my hand and then looked into my eyes.

"So you have the ring,"he chuckled.

"Yes and I'm never taking it off,"I giggled.

"Layla,"he closed his eyes.

"Yes,"I replied.

"I love you so much. I love you and the baby. I'm going to be the best father ever and soon to be the best husband ever,"he spoke softly.

"I love you too,"I teared up."I love you so much."

As I rested my head on his chest I felt safe. In a way I'm kind of glad we went through something terrifying because at the same time we got closer. We realized that we are better together than alone. That nothing can tear us apart. That we would fight for each other or with each other. I have his back and he has mine. Throughout this experience I learned a lot. Even if I did lose a friend I didn't lose everything. What happened to us was something that I thought could only happen in movies. But it happened in real life. It wasn't a movie. It was reality. So why did this happen to us? We don't know. All we know is that we were a part of a crazy man's game trying to survive. Trying to escape. We didn't ask for any of this. But we got it anyway. When you ask me what happened my first answer will be...we were trapped.
