Deep In My Heart

Chapter Fifteen

*beep beep beep*
*oxygen tank hissing*

I moved my eyes from under my lids, had slowly opened my eyes I blinked a few times til my vision got clear. Saw I was in a hospital room saw bunch of balloons and flowers around the room.

I closed my eyes for a moment. Was really tired and drowsy. Moment later I heard soft talking, I opened my eyes bit saw mom and Simone talking. I read their lips.

"No orange." I softly said

They quickly looked at me eyes widen

"Orange...don't mix well." I said as I breathe heavy.

"Koy!" They said as tears came down their face Simone rushed to the door and said "she's awake." And rushed to my side ma dad and Lo rushed in.

"Wa... Water." I softly said

Mom pour me some water dad help sit me up a bit I place the straw in my mouth and began drinking it drank the whole cup. I lean back as I savor the taste Simone put my hearing aids in my ears.

I looked at everyone as I smile softly. Mom rub my hair back gently as tears came down her face I held her hand. Then I doze off.

The next day

I woke up was sitting up they gave me a sponge bath I brushed my teeth. Mom and Simone were still here they never left at all. Dad, ma and Lo came in saw the face I was making as I chewed some of the nasty ass hospital food.

"Can't be that bad." Dad chuckle

"Its disgusting and tasteless." I said

They came up to my side, dad pulled out a small take out box.

"This should make you feel better." He smile
I smell it, he place it on the table and opened it. Saw its my favorite Asian chicken wrap with fries.

"Food." I smile I grabbed some fries and stuffed them in my mouth. I moan softly they laughed

"Thanks dad."

"Anything for you."

They began to get teary again

"Guys please, stop crying I'm okay."

Ma said "baby you've been in a coma for nearly three weeks."

I looked at her with a confuse look.

"Three weeks?"

They nod

"It felt like hours...wow, I'm okay its not my time to go." I said as I held ma's hand. She kissed my forehead

The news spread that I was awake and feeling better. Lo had showed me a video of my fans holding candles praying for my recovery. Then I decided to make a little video.

Lo held his iPad up and nod his head singling he's recording.

"Heyy you guys, I just wanted to make a quick video letting you guys know I am okay, recovering well got a long way to go...doc said I gotta rest and take it easy for the next few months, I want to thank all of my fans and friends for the prayers, love and gifts wishing me well...major love to you all."

Mom walked in and said "uh, excuse me young lady."

I looked at her eyes widen.

"You're supposed to be resting not blogging."

"But mom." I whine

"No buts, you need to rest."

I hunch a bit as I looked back at the camera and said "sorry guys, gotta go...again thank you so much for the love, one love to you all."

Lo ended the recording as he laughed, mom walked up to me smirking. She sat on the bed next to me I lay my head on her shoulder. Lo posted the video. Within minutes it gotten half a million views. Mom rub the side of my head

"I wanna go home." I said

"Tomorrow, got your couch all ready for you." Mom said.

I looked at my baby brother, held up my pinky he locked his with mine

"Rocking." We both softly said.

I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep. I ended up having a nightmare of the shooting. I remember everything that happened that night.
