The Bodyguard

Chapter 2

Elaine's pov

                 We get home and I head into the kitchen hoping to find some chocolate to help my craving. I hear Ry behind me putting up the rest of the meat and things in the cabinets. "So I have a date tomorrow" A lightning bolt shot through my heart it felt like. "O-oh with who" I say, I turn around and look at him giving him the idea I didn't care by leaning on the counter. "Oh this girl I met around the same Time I met you" he turns around to look at me and smiles. I smile back and say "well don't hide her from me okay".
                  
                He chuckle and puts his hand on my cheek looking into my eyes. "I wouldn't hide anything from you kitten" he says as his usual cocky grin starts to form on his lips. I roll my eyes and keep smiling at him, moving my face away from his strong hand "so what's she like hm?" On the inside I'm screaming. Crying.
                I hurt and I can already feel my finger tips slip away from his grasp. "She's just a normal girl but not as crazy as you" he says looking into my eyes I could tell he was searching me trying to tell if I was hurt by any of this, I didn't let it show I didn't want to hold him back from happiness. "Pfft who could be" I play off a laugh and a smile "hey I'm going to go take a shower" I start walking to my room to gather a large T-shirt and some short with black panties.
            
                      I grab my phone and check it. Nothing but almost a thousand missed calls from my dad. I walk to the bathroom wondering what happened that made him call so many times. I turn the shower on and drop my cloths on the sink and call my dad. My dad picks up at the first ring "ELAINE YOUR MOTHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL YOU NEED TO GET HE-" I drop my phone and run out of the bathroom. "Hey what's wrong Kitt-" I look up at Ry with tears in my eyes "my mom is in the hospital we need to go now" he nods and runs to grab the keys to the truck. Ry knew about my mother's heart problems, but today I had known would be the last time this would be a problem.
               
                        We leave without saying a word. We were flying down the roads we almost got into an accident once or twice but we didn't care. We got to the hospital and ran to the women at the front desk "where is my mother" I say not hiding anything not caring who sees me. "Who are you looking for " she says harshly. I snap "Whitestone, Jess Whitestone". She looks at me, her sigh and the look in her eyes could only mean one thing. "I'm sorry" she says.
                 
                        The women points down the hall "room 236" we ran as fast as we could knocking a doctor down we reach the room. I open the door and see my mom attached to tubes and wires. The machine beside her making exhaling and inhaling noises. Another machine beeping to the steady rhythm of her heart beat. I start to tear up and see my dad stirring in a chair next to her. He shakes his head when his gaze meets mine.
        
             I knew then that it was time for my mother to go. I cry and rush to her bed grabbing her hand as softly as I could. My tears drip onto her hand. "M-mom if you can hear me please....don't leave...You can't". I take a break from words as I feel big arms wrap around my waist and a head lay on my shoulder. I knew it was Ry I thought if I felt him I'd feel better. I never thought I would feel so much pain at once and the pain only grew stronger. I let him keep me in his arms. "She was in a bad car accident Elaine, and her heart was too fragile"I hear my dad say. "I know daddy but I don't want her to leave like this".

             I start to cry harder and I start to let my legs give out. Ry sat on the ground and put me on his lap. Rocked me like the child I was. I let him and it was a bit calming. I fell asleep to the beeping of the monitor. When I awoke I herd the flat line. "Good bye mommy I hope to see you later in a better place" I say as I get out of Ry's lap to kiss my mothers forehead ever so slightly. "I love you" I whisper and see a tear roll down her cheek. Then another and another after a while I had realized those tears were my own.
   
               I sat back down on Ry's lap and watched the doctors come in and take her away. I didn't cry I just sat there. Ry kept his arms around me but i didn't feel anything. The pain was still there and I didn't want it to be. He carried me to the truck and put me in then we drove him in utter silence. "You have a date today" I say trying to break the silence. "I'm not going I'm staying with you" his voice sounded tired worn out. "You dont have to I'm fine" he looks at me anger in his eyes "don't bull shit me I'm going to hang out with you fuck that bitch I was gonna go out with I didn't like her anyway" he turns into our driveway and parks the truck. I shake my head at him and get out. "You can go" i say. He looks at me anger in his eyes. "Elaine stop beating yourself up" he says I could hear him trying to be calm with me.
      
                I start walking inside and lay on the couch. "I don't feel good" I say to him trying to get him to go away. "I know kitten" he lifts my upper body and places himself where my head was and puts my head on his lap. I feel his fingertips start to massage my scalp. "Just get some rest ok" he says I felt my eyes droop a little and yawn "okay good night bodyguard" I say. I curl up in my ball and let his hand stay in my hair. I hear a slight "good night kitten" and then I went into a deep sleep.
