Adopted By Sleeping With Sirens

Chapter 17

Vic

Before I completely woke up, my mind was up and awake. I heard my own breathing and heard things around me. I finally opened my eyes remembering where I was. "Hello Mr. Fuentes! You're back! We lost you for a few hours." A girl said. "What do you mean?" I asked rubbing my eyes, "What happend?" I asked. "Well you went into complete shock and it caused your breathing to act up. You nearly died because you couldn't breath but you're all good now. Maybe just one more night to see how well you are doing. It's a lot of stress on you with the whole situation but you need to calm down. I don't want to risk anything on my patients and you're my patient" she said. I blinked my widely opened eyes. "It's fine. I am okay, you're right. Rush of stress to where I fainted? But thanks" I said in a serious tone and she awkwardly stood there and nodded. "I'll get your release papers if you'd like me to" she said and I nodded. She gave me a smile and walked out.

I lied back down and realized I had lost a child. Wait a second. I bolted up unplugging my wires hooked up to me, I didn't care about me, I cared about Marisol. I found my pair of clothes on the chair so I grabbed it and hurried into that pair of clothes. I tried to act like I was a visitor with my head down and passed the same doctor. I just hurried away. The guys should be here.

I got to the main exit area and I hurried to my car that was suppose to be here. I seen a black van like car and I unlocked it and got in. "What am I doing..." I asked myself. I rested my head on the stirring wheel and closed my eyes. I thought about the past for a few minutes. Contemplating. Why am I so stuck up in the past? Every little thing I've had done with Marisol washed away like a storm. No more sunshine. Just a storm. Everything's gone. No happiness.

I slowly drove back home. The boys should be there or at the hospital, probably getting rest. I drove. Drove anywhere, my mind was filled at this point. I couldn't afford to breakdown because I just couldn't. I know it was a bad time to drive, especially when your feelings are sky high, negative. But it's alright. I got my seatbelt, like it's going to do anything. I was talking to myself and then noticed I was already home. Already? I thought I just started driving.

Damn, I'm just lost in this world now. I got out locking the door with the keys and stepped onto the sidewalk and towards the two story house. I walked up the couple of stairs and onto the porch. I unlocked the house front door with my keys. The doorknob was cold. Cold like the feelings floating in the air. Everything was  still, quiet. The clouds were morning clouds. Fog filled the air. The grass had frost. My hair was blown out and I blew fog. It's pretty chilly. I unlocked it and got in.

I closed the door behind me. The house was quiet. No hyper Jaime. No gaming Mike. No talkative Tony. Nothing. Even I couldn't speak. It was chilly inside the house. I set the keys on the counter and rested my head on the counter. I couldn't feel my eyes fog up. I shut them tight. I can't forget about her, and I know I won't.  I promised I wouldn't leave her. And she left me.

Tears dripped onto the table. I knew I had to start worrying about the funeral, but now, I just couldn't be a human. I felt as if I wasn't even from this earth. "It should of been me instead of her" I said to myself out loud. "Vic. No one deserves to die. We all get one whole life to live. Dying not even half of you age doesn't deserve death.. No one does in my opinion..." a voice said and looked up and saw Kellin. I couldn't help but feel good about him being here. I'm sure he felt the same exact way I felt at the moment. He was Marisol's other father like figure. He was family.

"Oh hey man" I weakly said. "Hey. I'm staying over for the weekend to help out. I'm sure you'll need it" he said with no emotion. I nodded. It was quiet for a moment and he just stared outside from the window. I could feel my heart racing and all of a sudden Kellin broke the silence before I broke. "Aye come here" he said and we both pulled each other in a hug. It was a strong and honest hug. It was a hug that could almost repay everything that's happened.
