Just a Heartbeat Away

Chapter 21: Back in the Hospital

<><><><><><><><><><>
Mari:

I grabbed my keys and rushed to the hospital. Something bad happened to David and I began to worry.

I finally got to the hospital; the same one where the shooting began. I asked for the room David was in.

"I'm sorry, he can't have any visitors at the moment. He's under special treatment. But I assure he's going to be okay." The lady said firm.

I only nodded, not wanting to argue. I went to the waiting room and sat on a big chair.

I saw a mom and dad playing with their kids and thought, that's going to be me and David.

*1 hour later*

They were done with the treatment and I got to see him.

"He will be awake in a couple of minutes. And he's doing great. He's a fighter, you know?" The doctor said leaving.

I nodded and went right next to him. His face had a rip and dried blood while his left leg had a cast and so did his right arm.

What happened? I thought.

I almost cried looking at him. I almost lost him. He woke up like the doctor said and the first thing he saw was me.

"Hey...how you doing?" I asked almost like a whisper.

"Better than before. Isn't it funny how I hurt my leg...twice!" He responded with a smile.

"What happened?"

He sighed.

David:
*Flashback* *Bowling Ally*

10:00

"Remind me why we are here again." I asked Josh, Ian, and Anthony.

"Umm...it's our guys night out night." Ian responded.

"Oh yeah I forgot."

We got our shoes and bowling balls and we played.

"This place reminds me too much of Mari." I whispered to myself.

"What do you say David?" Josh asked.

I looked up and made up a lie. "I forgot I need to be somewhere right now, so I have to go." I ran away.

I got into my car and thought of Mari. I started to cry and began to drive with the radio on high volume. I didn't know where I was going, but it wasn't to my apartment.

I got onto a quiet street with few cars. As I was singing along with the radio, some guy decided to hit me from behind. I reacted and we both got out of our cars. I was going to teach this guy a lesson.

"Why did you hit my car?" I screamed.

"You were going to slow!" He screamed back. He was a very big man.

"Well you're paying for this mess, look what you did!" I pointed to my car and the dent it made.

"Well there are other ways I deal with monkeys like you." He rolled up his sleeves.

"Do you really think I'm intimidated by you? You have some nerve picking a fight with me." I wanted to sound like the tough man.

He punched me first with a roar. I didn't react but instead punched back. He only smirked. What did I get myself into?

He punched me and kicked me and I was on the ground, bleeding. He brought out a knife and cut my face and arms. After that he went back into his car and ran me over, then he drove away.

A car stopped to call 911 and thats how I got here.

*End of Flashback*

Mari was crying. You could see the anger and sadness in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you." She said cracking up.

I only looked in front of me.

"Mari, I can't do this anymore, I need you and I love you. I want to move back together. I can't live like this anymore."
I said confident looking at her with teary eyes.

She nodded. "I was going to say the same thing to." The. She leaned in to kiss me.

*4 months later*

We were back together in the same house and probably happier than ever.

I had a cast on my arm and crutches to help me with my broken leg. It's really hard to work those things with a cast on your arm.

I also had a scar on my check. Mari described it as 'sexy'.

The baby's could arrive at any time so we always have o be pre-

"DAVID! TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL!" Wow, what a cliché.

"Is it time?" I rushed into the living room.

"No, I just needed to go visit Doctor Sam about my medication, OF COURSE ITS TIME!" She sarcastically screamed.

Are woman always like this? I thought.

We hoped in the car and drove the fastest we could.

"No, go slower, we could get in a car crash." She worried.

I went slower.

"No, no, no! Go faster! I don't want to have my baby's in the car!"

I went faster. Not complaining once.

We finally arrived at the hospital, again, and the doctors guided us to the room we were supposed to be in.

*A pregnancy later*

There they were our 3 beautiful children. What were we going to name them?

Mari held the boys while I held our precious girl. This was the happiest moment of my life.
