Insecure

Chapter 25

Taylor's Point Of View:

I opened my eyes. They were cloudy at first. I hear people saying my name. I hear crying.

"Taylor please don't leave baby! Please don't leave me! You're all I have left. Baby please don't leave me! You can have whatever you want baby, I can't live my life without you. " I heard my mom saying.

My vision cleared up and I was on a stretcher being pushed somewhere. There were two nurses and a doctor. They were calling other doctors and I guess a surgeon to head to operation room 10. I saw my mom running beside the stretcher and Travis too.

"Female, age 17, around 5'6. Two gunshots to the stomach. Losing a lot of blood. Going into immediate surgery." The doctor said.

I then felt a sharp pain to my stomach.

"Uhhhh!" I moaned out.

"Just hold on sweetie. They're going to make sure you're okay." My mom said putting her hand on my forehead.

I then felt myself falling asleep again.

"Hurry! Her pulse is weakening quickly!"

Tori's POV:

I sat on the hospital bed waiting for the doctor to come back in. I just sat and thought about the fucked up situation I was in. I've been praying a lot more and I'm just glad that I'm alive. He does things for a reason. I've always wondered why bad things happen to good people. But I know that it's all apart of God's plan for me.

The door opened and in came Jerome. He looked worse than I did. He came and sat down right beside me and grabbed my hand.

"Baby I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I promise you, on my life, I will not let anything else happen to you. Just please don't leave me." He pleaded.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"I don't want you to leave me because of all the stuff that has happened."

"I'm not going to leave you. You haven't done anything wrong." I said.

He leaned over and kissed my forehead.

"My mom is flying back down here. She was away on some kind of business trip. She didn't even know I was kidnapped or raped. She is beating herself up. She feels like this happened because she isn't there for me enough. I mean she is never home. I understand she has to put clothes on my back and food on the table so I'm not mad at her." I said.

"Baby of course she is going to be mad at herself. She is your mother, your protector. "

"I know. But I'm okay now. I just don't want her stressing. "

"I understand babe." He said .

The door opened and in came the doctor.

"Well miss. Your okay. It might be a little sore down there for a couple more days but that's it. We have given you some pain medicine just in case it becomes unbearable. There also might be a little bleeding every once in a while. If you are comfortable, you can start back engaging in sexual activity in 2 weeks." She said.

I looked at Jerome and he was smirking.

"I also checked you for any sexually transmitted diseases and you're all good. "

"Okay thank you. " She then left out while I was signing my discharge papers.

The door opened and two policemen came in.
