Mrs. Boss

Chapter 8

Chapter 8:Kiss me, stupid

Other than being in a coma for 6 months Mika was fine, they said it was caused from fear, panic and shock. She hit carpet and that's not enough to put her in a coma for that long according to the nurse. I didn't pay attention to much after that so I went to sit out in the waiting room.

"How you feeling?" Milio came to ask me.

"Better than I was 6 months ago"

"Have you talked to her?"

"No, I let her have a moment with her mom, she needs it." He nodded. He was about to say something else when Mrs. Jackson came out the room.

"Is everything okay Mrs.J?" I asked worriedly, she nodded calming my nerves.

"Baby call me Mariah, and Mika is looking for you" she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my chair and pushed me in the room.

"Chrissy?"

"Hey Mika, how you feeling?" I was nervous, I don't know why but I was.

"I'm sick of being in here and ready to go home but that's besides the point. My mama told me some things about you" she looked away from the television (that I just realized was in here) and at me.

"What'd she say?" I sat in the chair that was beside her bed.

"That you put someone in a hospital bed, that you almost got arrested but you got put on probation instead, and you cried a lot. I believed her up until the crying part so I told her Chrissy doesn't cry, but she was like no she did cry, she cried when you first came in here, then cried some more two months later, and cried when you died, and when you came back to life. I still wouldn't believe her so she started talking about all the crazy things she did and right before she left she told me Mika, that girl out there really cares about you, she has not left your side since you came in here unless she was forced out by me or her brother. She wouldn't listen to nobody else. Is she your girlfriend ? I told her no, that we were just friends, that I did like you but I wasn't sure if you felt the same, then she popped me on my arm called me special and left"

I couldn't help but laugh, I understood why her mom hit her, she had just told her all the things I went through and did just to be by her side, and she wasn't sure if I felt the same way. "Hey! That hurt" I pouted and rubbed the red spot on my arm that she just punched.

"Awe so cute, but that's what you get for laughing at me."

"She's right you know"

"Right about what?"

"Me caring about you. I haven't been back to work since, hell I haven't even left the hospital, john would bring me clothes and I would go to one of the floors that had a shower and would wash up here. I had told everyone that you were my girlfriend at least I had planned on making you my girlfriend after you woke up. You mean a lot to me and I realized that the night of the shooting, I was devastated I had felt responsible like if only there was some way I could get you to stay home..." She grabbed my hand and shushed me.
