Cries Out

Chapter 18

Jakes POV

When I lean up from kissing her her eyes are closed and she is faintly breathing.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see her mother there beside me. Her face is streaked with tears.

"I called they are on their way. " her dad announces when he comes in the door. Then he drops to his knees beside her and starts to cry.

"Mommy daddy. "I hear Taylor say as he comes over and cries himself.

After a while I hear the ambulance and pick her up and run to the door to get out of here.

I meet the people at the door and they take her from me and put her on a stretcher. They put her inside as her family comes out and they are hauled into the vehicle right behind her they then take off down the street. Leaving me and Taylor alone.

I grab Taylor and run to my car I put him in the back and fasten his seatbelt before getting in the drivers side and doing the same. I take off towards the hospital with only one thing on my mind.

Alasha.

When i get there i rush inside with Taylor behind me and go to the front counter.

"How may I help you?" The lady asks.

"Alasha Brunswood." Is all I can say.

"You cant visit her right now she's in surgery." She says.

"Lady I just want to know if she is okay. Can I at least know that?" I ask her.

"I can't tell unless you are family. " she says.

"I am her boyfriend and this is her brother Taylor." I say. I hang on to the word boyfriend like its new to me. "Can we know now ?"

The lady looks down to Taylor who is crying his eyes out.

"She's alright. She just needs some rest. She has a few infected cuts on her sides and her eye needs to be treated. Other than the bullet wound she's okay." She says as relief passes over me.

"Her parents are they ok ?" I ask.

"Well they have a few more injuries. Like some fractured bones infected cuts. The bullet wound is messy and they both will need a longer surgery to remove the bullet and fix the fractured bones." She says.

"When can I visit Alasha?" I ask.

"Not for a couple of hours. If you want you can wait here. " she gestures towards the chairs and me and Taylor walk over to them.

Taylor lays down in the couch and cries himself to sleep while I stay awake and wait for any news.

After what seems like eternity but is only ten hours I see a nurse come out of a room down the hall and walks straight up to me.

"Jake Ladour?" The nurse asks me and I shake my head yes. "Come with me someone wants to see you. " I get up and walk behind her.

She opens the door and there lays Alasha in a hospital bed with an hospital gown on. I thank the lady and she walks out and shuts the door behind her.

I walk over to the bed and sit in the chair next to it. And grab her hand. Her eyes flutter open and she looks at me.

"DeAnna Sam Silas and Ramiro huh?" She asks.
