Please Don't Go

Save Me/Steve

I woke up and looked around. I knew I was in some kind of hospital or something. I got up and looked out the window. How did I get here? I knew I overdosed. I then realized I had a roommate. That is just great.

I heard someone walk to the open door and they walked away. A nurse walked in moments later. I wondered where I was.

"Where am I?"

"Hawaii Drug and Rehabilitation center. Tomorrow you have group."

I looked at the bed next to me. Then I noticed a letter taped above my bed. I grabbed it and read it. Don't let them know who you are. You Schmuck. That was interesting. It also said I can use my real first name but not to give my last name. It also said not to say I am with Five-O. That was interesting.

I then heard sounds in the doorway. I saw a dog. I noticed the Five-O vest. Eddie he sniffed the room and found nothing. He then went to me. I saw Lou. I looked at him. Then Eddie and Lou left. My roommate came to get me.

"Steve, time for dinner."

I then followed him. I sat with him to eat. He had his head down. "How did you know my name? What is your name?"

"Long story how I know your name. But, my name is Dan."

That made me feel bad. It made me think about Danny. We went back to our room. I noticed Dan had a laptop and cell phone. I knew both were not allowed in this area. How he was allowed to was shocking to me.

"What are you doing?"

"Working, that is what I was doing."

"You know that laptop and phones are not allowed. What are you in here for anyway?"

"I am not here for the reason you are."

He sent a message on his cell phone. Then he walked over to my bed. He slipped something in my ear. That was weird.

"Steve, can you hear us?"

"Adam?"

"Yes, so, Dan doesn't blow his cover. There is someone selling drugs. He is undercover. Now you will be in the loop. But you have to get clean to come back to Five-O."

I looked at Dan. I noticed a scar on his neck. I shivered. I looked down at my hands. I noticed my ring was gone. Well I guess that is one way to try to forget.

I fell asleep but had nightmares. I felt someone laying with me. I opened my eyes and was face to face with Dan. He was asleep. I took the time to study him. Why, was he laying with me?

Things went like that for five months. The day I was released they caught the people who was selling. I was given my badge and gun back by Dan. He was driving my truck. I still felt sad about what happened to Danny. He took me to Danny's favorite spot to look at the ocean. I got out and sat on the cement. Dan sat next to me.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I shot my partner. I don't think I should be a cop. He ran into a building that was on fire and I was pinned down by some very bad people. I could not see and thought someone else had pointed a gun at me. It wasn't and it was my partner. I then tripped over him and saw the tac vest. I didn't know it was Danny until much later. He was shot in the neck. I can't get the sight of him choking on his own blood out of my head. Then when I moved my hand that I used to stop the bleeding his vitals dropped. Then when he woke up and was sad. He freaked out. I was kicked out of the room and haven't seen him since. I don't know if he is alive or dead. I know it was all my fault. Rachel was right I am stupid and need to stay away."

"What if he doesn't blame you?"

"I don't know.  I know he will be mad that I lost the ring."

We got into the truck and we made it to the woods. Dan grabbed to backpacks out of the back. We climbed to the spot not long after me and Danny met I fell and broke my arm. We walked past that. Dan took me to a very nice spot. There was like a waterfall. I wondered why he was doing all this.
