No Holds Barred

Road to Recovery

*Eric*

Everything happened so quickly. I was not trying to shoot LaLa. I knew I shouldn't have gone there in the first place knowing I was already a little irate. But she stepped in the way. I hate she did because Nook was my target. Let's just be real. All I wanted to do was talk to LaLa, but I let my jealousy get the best of me. When I hoped in the car I took my 38 and placed it in the glove compartment. The only thing I could think about was the panic in those beautiful brown eyes as she fell backwards. I never meant to hurt her. Now I gotta deal with consequences of what happens while she's the hospital.

*LaLa*
I could barely sleep even though the nurses kept giving me pain meds. I mean I'm tryna figure out why the shits ain't working. I mean gah damn am I that immuned? The only thing was every time I closed my eyes I saw Eric's face and the anger and jealousy in his eyes. So much anger.

I lay awake starting out the window that luckily held a beautiful view. Mari had fallen asleep knowing I was okay but i know he falls asleep when he is mad or stressed. He laid next to me still holding hand. Nook was half asleep, waking up every five minutes to check on me. I'd give him a small smile and he would close his eyes.

The more I thought about the accident the more I realized that I wasn't the initial target. I mean come on I would actually hate to believe that Eric actually wanted to shoot me. He should have known that he had nothing to worry about. I actually liked him whether he knew it or not, but we would never look at each other the same. He was so spoiled and his little hoes was to blame for that. They gassed his ass up. He ain't been denied enough and always got what he wanted. I guess neither us did because who is here in a hospital. My thoughts continued to run until I realized that the clock read 3:13am. I wish it would've stayed night.

I tried watching the TV or counting the squares in the ceiling in hopes that I would eventually doze off but the pain was starting to make itself known. I tried shifting my body but a surge of pain shot through my shoulder and I let out a small whimper. That woke Nook up immediately.
"Baby, I mean, LaLa what's wrong?"he asked. Mari woke up then.
"I'm fine. Just some pain in my shoulder," I reassured them both.
"You need me to get a nurse or something?" Mari asked sitting up. I shook my head. They were already drugging me but it wasn't working. I don't need to overdose. I tried sitting up but that made it worse. I felt the pain travel until it stopped, allowing me to finally exhale. Mari handed me a bottle Powerade, and I stopped it slow.
"Better?" He asked and I nodded my head. I laid my head on his chest and he played in my hair until in finally felt myself dozing off. I needed it. Who knows how much sleep I'll get in the next few weeks.
