Wildflower In A Field Of Daisies

Chapter TwentyNine.

*Nyla's POV* 

     I woke up around 12:30am to 17 missed calls. All of them were from Ron. I quickly sat up and called him. Hello, Ron. What's going on? I said still trying to wake up. Ny Ny, get to the hospital now! El's been shot! He said frantically. I instantly woke up. I hung up the phone, grabbed my shoes, keys, and phone. As quickly as I could, I ran out the door down to my Challenger, hopped in, and sped off to the hospital. Tears flowed down my face as I sped through traffic, trying to get to the hospital as quickly as I could.

     I finally arrived at the hospital and ran inside. Wiping tears from my face, I quickly looked for Ron. I found him, sitting as he could stop shaking his knee with his face in his hands. Ron, where is he? Is my baby okay? I asked as more tears rolled down my face. Ron stood up and gave me a hug. I'm sorry lil sis. They're working on him now, and said it'll be a few hours at the most before we hear something back. That was about 30 minutes ago. He said softly. I was distraught. I couldn't take it that I might lose Shawn, especially when I just got him. All of him. I love our connection, and I love the way he loves me. It's gentle, but loud. He'd go to the end of the world for me, and I'd do just the same for him. Do you know who did this? I asked as my voice trembled from crying. Well, the car that they were driving was a blue BMW, and the tag said J-DUB. He said quickly. It was Jarret bitch ass. And I bet Kia put him up to this. I said as my sadness quickly turned into anger. Just chill sis-in-law, we gone make them pay for this. I promise you that. He said softly, but sternly. Okay, I got you, bro. I said softly trying to calm myself. I went and got me a sprite out of the vending machine, sat down with Ron and waited for the doctor. 

     About two hours had passed and the doctor came from the back. I quickly stood up and met him halfway. Are you two Shawn Elliot's family? He asked walking up to us. Yes, I'm his girlfriend, this is his older brother, Ron. We're the only family he has here in LA. Is he going to be okay? I said softly. Well, I do have some good news for you two. I'm Doctor Jefferson, lead surgeon for your boyfriend Shawn. He was shot three times, one in the chest, shoulder, and arm. Luckily none of those shots hit vital points or organs. We were able to get all the bullets and metal out, and he's going to heal well. However, the shots did send him into a nerve shock, therefore, he's in a small coma. He confirmed. Okay, how long will this coma last doc? Ron asked. Well because the reason for him going into a coma, and the severity of it, it could be anywhere from two weeks to a month, month in a half at most. He replied. My heart fell to my stomach. To not be able to talk to him, hold him, feel his touch, his kiss even for a day made my heart shatter. Can we see him? I asked softly as tears began to fall down my cheeks again. Yes, he's in stable condition, follow me. He replied turning towards the door.

     We followed him to the back. They had him in a big room, I.V. in his arm. Chords from the machine stuck to his chest. He seemed so peaceful, even though I was on the verge of losing him. I hate seeing him like this. Can I stay with him Doctor Jefferson? I asked. Yes, that's fine. Significant others can stay in the room overnight, other family and friends can stay in the lobby. He replied with a smile. Ron, can you go to our house and grab some things for me? I asked turning to Ron. Sure thing, sis. Just text me everything you want me to grab. He said as I gave him my house key.

     Ron left out and came back in about 20 minutes. He had everything I asked for. A blanket, an extra pillow, my laptop, and a fruit bowl out of the fridge. I thanked him and got settled. I climbed into the bed with El. I made sure I was on his chords or I.V. I snuggled up under him, my head softly on his chest. I pulled the blanket over me and him. I cried softly for him, wishing he'd put his arm around me, to let me know it'll all be okay. All I know of for right now is, Jarret and Kia definitely getting what's coming to them. They tried to take my heart from me, and I know El is gonna be on the same type of timing when he wakes up and heals. God, I love this boy so much, and I want him to come back to me. Not too long after I fell asleep on him. I'm happy he's gonna heal fine. I just wish he was awake already. I know he'll be just fine though.

Sensei.
