"Do you like it?", James asked me.

"Yeah, it works pretty nice," I said, picking my hair out.

"You think it would be a good investment?", He asked.

"If we can gather up the right connections and do some good advertising," I said.

"We can, I'll call them up," he said, leaving out the room.

My phone started ringing and I grabbed it out of my purse.

"Hello?", I asked.

"Hello is this Belle Romani?", They asked.

"Yes this is she, how can I help you?", I asked.

"This is Dr. Williams at East Jefferson General Hospital, your husband and children have been admitted into the hos-

"What happened?", I asked, grabbing my bag.

"There was an explosion at your house, it seems to have come from your husband's car. The fire from the explosion spread to the house and a lot of smoke was produced. Your children weren't burned, they are okay," the doctor said.

"What about my husband?", I asked, tears running down my eyes.

"The impact of the explosion, blew him away. He has some broken bones in his back and a concussion," the doctor said.

"I'll be there," I said, more tears pouring out of my eyes.

I ran out of the room.

"Where are you going?", James asked confused.

"My husband and my kids are in the hospital," I yelled back.

"What the hell happened this time?", James asked.

"I have to go," I said.

"We'll take my plane. We can get there a lot faster," James said.

"Okay," I said, nodding. We hurried and left out. Then we caught a cab to his plane.

"How many hours till we get there?", I asked.

"3 hours," James said.

"That's such a long time," I sighed.

"I know and I'm really sorry Belle," James said.

''It's not your fault," I said.

"I know. I just don't understand why things like this happen to you. Just know that if you need anything, I'm here for you," he said.

"I know, thank you," I said.

We sat quiet for the rest of the ride, then we sped to the hospital.

"Mrs. Romani, for Mr. Romani and our sons,'' I said.

"Room 3005," she said. I nodded my head and went up the elevator.

When I made it to the 3rd floor I saw them inside the room.

"Are you okay?", I asked the children as I went up to them.

"Yeah," they said, sucking on their lollipops.

"Where's Marciano?", I asked.

"He went down with Chilé to the cafeteria,'' Deonté.

"How's Marciello? Has he moved at all?", I asked.

"That's the thing. He's in a coma," Deonté said.

I couldn't control myself I just bust out crying.

Sorry for the short chapter. I still have to contemplate if I want to do some fucked up shit. 😁
