Through it All

Chapter 5

Nate's POV:

 As we enter the trauma room, all I see is blood and how pale Robert looks. I follow Cheyenne to make sure she is going to be okay, well as okay as you can be seeing the person that you love most in the world on their death bed. They don't know all of his injuries and all they have told Cheyene is that he was crushed under a drum that was on a fork lift. I know the rest of the story now that I was able to talk to the police officer that worked the scene.  The guy driving the fork truck was high on drugs and dropped the drum on Robert, said that he didn't know anyone was standing there. I don't know how Cheyenne will be once she hears this. I was lost in thought until I hear Robert say my name and calls me over. Robert tells me thank you I am so confused and I know that it shows on my face. He tells me thank you for getting Cheyenne here to see me before I die. I don't know what to say so I just nod my head and step back to the doorway. I know that Robert really doesn't like me just tolerates me because Cheyenne considers me a friend. Truth is, I don't like him either. I know that Cheyenne loves him and that is why I don't say anything about it. Seeing her go through hell for 6 months and the fact that Robert didn't think about anyone but himself during that time the nurses  well I just don't have any use for him. He said some pretty awful things to her during that time and I just wanted to kick his ass. If it weren't for her and that she loved him I would have.  I would do anything for Cheyenne, she kept me sane back then too. She kept telling me that I couldn't do anything stupid, to call her and she would be there for me. She kept me from losing my job more than once due to having to deal with and ex girlfriend new boyfriend. They tell Cheyenne that they have to take him for tests and she heads to the waiting room. I follow behind her  hating havingto watch her go through this. She hasn't shed a tear yet. She's holding it all in  thinking she has to be strong. I know that she is fixing to do  the hardest thing in the world for her, call her kids.

BG POV:

I tried talking to Amber last night on the way home from Alabama but she pretended to be asleep. Something was said to Cheyenne as we started to leave and I want to know what it was. amber has been short and distant these last few weeks and it has begun to bother me. I need to text Chey and see if she knows what's going on with Amber. Speak of the devil, Chey's calling me.

BG- Hey girl I was just going to text you. What's up?

C- B....I need you....

BG- What's wrong Chey?

C- It's Robert,there was a bad accident at the plant. He thanked Nate for getting me to the hospital before he died... B, I can't do this.  How do I tell the kids?

BG-Don't worry Chey, I will get Amber and we will be there in a few hours. Call the kids tell them so they have time to get there.

C- I know I have to make the calls but I guess I just needed reinforcement first. Thanks B!

BG- You are the strongest woman I know next to Mama, you can do this. Call them, don't wait baby girl. Love you and we will be there ASAP.
