*Chapter 10*
I was woken up from my dream by Tony. I looked up at him and looked around panicked.
“Whoa, calm down, where aren’t there yet.” He said and helped me sit up, “Then where are we?” I asked
Mike cleared his throat which made me jump a little. “We dropped off Esther and Jaime. Jaime was still in shock” Tony said and wrapped his arms around me pulling me to him.
“We’ll be there soon” Tony said petting my head. The rest of the time it was silent again. I hate the silence between us. I need something to keep my mind off of Vic. I clutched my phone to my chest hoping that Vic was alright, that he was walking around, waiting for mike to pull up and get him. I laid my head back on Tony’s lap and let tears fall down my face. I guess Tony noticed me shaking and tightened his arm around me. I couldn’t feel safe at all with Tony. I felt safe in Vic’s arms, where I wanted to be.
“Guys we’re here” Mike said and tony sat me up. We climbed out of the car and I wiped my tears away and straightened myself up so that I could look normal for Vic.
We walked to the desk and asked where Vic was, she told us and mike found our way to him. We walked into the room and I saw him. He was still passed out. I turned to Tony and buried my head into his chest. Mike grabbed my arm and dragged me to the side of the bed.
“He would want you next to him, holding his hand.” Mike demanded quietly. I grabbed Vic’s hand and sat down in the chair that tony had place behind me. I kissed his hand softly and looked back up at him, I gripped his hand tightly as if I thought he would slip away if I let go. I looked at him, I didn’t look away at all, and Mike and Tony were quiet, silently watching me. I noticed Vic’s eyes flutter and my heart began to race. ‘He’s awake!’ I screamed in my head. He mumbled a name and I stood up.
“I’m here! Right here” I exclaimed. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He smiled the biggest smile and I felt my heart race faster. I looked him over, His hair was slightly misplaced, half straightened and half curled, it was blood soaked. He had a deep cut on his forehead that was stitched up. Nothing else seemed wrong. My heart dropped again at the sight of the dried blood on my precious angels face.
“Courtney…” He managed to get out “I love you, I’m sorry I worried you” He finished and looked over at me.
A few minutes later the nurse came in. “You must be his fiancée and his friends.” She said in a soft voice. “Yes, that’s us.” Mike said, He knew that I wasn’t going to talk as long as Vic was still laying in the hospital bed.
“He is allowed to go home tonight, it was a deep cut, but we got it closed and it should heal in a week.” She explained, she walked over to the bed and started to remove the I.V’s and stuff in his arms. Finally when she was done, she walked out. I backed up, still holding his hand; I didn’t want him to slip away again. I missed him. He sat up and used one hand to pull me close to him again. I couldn’t help it, I missed those lips. I leaned forward and softly kissed him. ‘I missed you’ I mouthed the words to him.
“Bro!” Mike said and patted his back ‘We missed you’ he continued. Vic turned to Tony. “Tone, what about you” Vic asked and Tony smiled at him and nodded his head.
“Come on darling, let’s go home.” I said helping Vic up and all three of us walking out the door. We walked to the car and Mike was driving again, Tony was in the front seat and Vic and I took the back seat. Mike started the car and turned to us.
“Let’s go home” He said happily and pulled out into the road. I leaned onto Vic’s shoulder and I smiled, Vic rested his head on mine and he wrapped his arms around me squeezing me. It was getting really late, and even though I fell asleep going to the hospital, I wanted to fall asleep while Vic was holding me. Back in my lovers’ arms, I felt safe and I felt at home. I knew Vic was just happy to be with me, I felt Vic place a quick kiss on top of my head. The same sparks ran through my body as like with our first kiss. I lost track of all time as the car zoomed down the road turned the house.
