Life In Liberty City

Chapter 44: Burnt Out

  
   We were able to make it to the hospital in broker as we tried to save Vortex from a gunshot into his stomach.

   Unfortunately the bullet didn't go through his body as it could cause an infection. Loona applied pressure to keep him from bleeding to death as I tried to find a parking spot that was close enough to the hospital entrance.

"Stan. Hurry!" Loona shouted.

"I'm trying!" I shouted as I walked out of the driver seat, and helped Loona get Vortex out of the back. Blitzo, and his friends climbed out from the back to help move him as well into the hospital lobby.

"We have an officer down! He's been shot!" I shouted.

   A few nurses, and doctors intervened and escorted Vortex to an operating room. Loona and I were worried about him since he was shot in where the main artery is, and could not make it. We were taken to the ward for our injuries as well.

 
   We were all resting in the ward, as the doctors suggested we should stay overnight for our treatment. However, Blitzo, Millie, and Moxxie had to stay for a week since they had been tortured for a few days by Rick. Loona had only suffered a huge black eye and a few bruises. As for me I just suffered a mild concussion and my back hurts a little when I landed on my back painfully.

"This sucks. I don't need to stay for the night." Loona says as she tries to find something to watch on the TV.

"The doctor said your eye took a huge impact and should be looked at. And they think I have a concussion, which I feel fine anyway." I spoke as I tried to get some sleep.

"I just hope Vortex pulls through. He's a good friend, and Bee will lose her shit if something happens to him." Loona says while concerned.

"Who's Bee?" I asked.

"An acquaintance of mine." Loona answers.

"Can you two love birds keep it down? I'm trying to sleep." Blitzo says.

"Shut the hell up. Be grateful that we decided to save your stupid ass." Loona says as she covers her eye with an ice pack.

"Should we not argue? Blitz maybe you should be understanding that Loona is not a little pup anymore?" Mille suggested.

"Loona. I know you are old enough to be on your own. I just love you because you are my daughter, and I care for you. Can you understand?" Blitzo asked.

"Dad, I do understand that. But I am 22 years old, and I have a good life now. I was hoping you would be proud of me for once. That's all I wanted." Loona spoke.

"I am proud of you. I just don't want to let go of you yet." Blitzo said while upset a little.

"I'll still be around, just quit being controlling." Loona said.

"Ok, ok Loona. I love you okay."

"I love you too dad." Loona says as she starts to forgive him.

"Finally, you two are getting along." Moxxie spoke.

"Don't ruin their moment." I spoke.

A week passed...

   As things were settling down, The IMP decided to stay with us for a while since Blitzo wanted to help out on the business opportunities with us. There were a couple of guest bedrooms we have never used yet, but they have a place to settle down. I didn't like the idea at first but it's her family and I have to tolerate them because Blitzo is my future father in law if Loona and I decide to get married. I didn't mind Moxxie and Millie since they are not bad to have a conversation with, even Millie is a real psychopath who wants to kill others. As for Blitzo, he's been a pain in my ass for the last few days since I'm dating Loona from now on and he wants to make sure I treat her right, which I perfectly do. I got his approval for our relationship, but he's annoying as fuck when I have to encounter with him in my own home.
