Chapter 21: Accident

I woke up to the shaking of Lyn-Z. Her eyes were wide open and she wouldn't stop shivering violently. "Lyn-Z?" I tried to wake her up but she wouldn't so I yelled, "Ray!" Ray was the only one home at the time. "What?" "Call 911." I said holding Bandit close to me. I began to cry as the paramedics took her away. Ray watched Bandit as I went to the hospital with the ambulance. I sat outside of her room waiting for the signal to come in. As soon as a doctor opened the door I stood up. I stared into his eyes with red, tearing eyes and my hands in my pocket. "Gerard, she had a seizure. She just needs to stay here for a few days so we can make sure she's okay to go home." "Okay, thank you doctor." I said. "You can go in." "Thank you." I said twisting the door handle. I walked over and gave her a hug and sighed in relief. It was painful to see her like that. With tubes everywhere. "Don't let Bandit see me like this." She said in a hushed tone. "Okay. I love you." I said then kissed her. "I love you too." I left the hospital around midnight and fell into bed with Bandit. "I love you Bandit." I whispered as I held her close. I woke up and kissed Bandit's forehead. I left her to sleep and I went into the kitchen to pour some coffee. It was Saturday so everyone was home which I enjoyed. I sat down and watched the news with everyone else. And that is when I got the idea. The idea to quit my unhealthy behaviors, it was going to be hard but I had to do it for the ones I love. "Is anyone gonna come pick up Lyn-Z with me?" I asked as I stood up with a cigarette in my hand. "I think we all will." Said Jamia. "What about Bandit?" I asked. "What about her?" Questioned Mikey. "He promised he wouldn't let her see Lyn-Z" said Frank. "I'll hold her in the car."said Christine. I nodded my head and as we pulled up to the hospital, I realized that this was going to be my last visit. No more over doses or alcoholic beverages, just my family. "I'll be back." I said slamming the metal door behind me. I headed toward Lyn-Z's room and hugged her. "Time to go." I said helping her carry her bags. She smiled and walked with her arm around my neck for balance. It reminded me of when I was drunk last week and Frank helped me walk. It somehow gave me the urge to drink again. I helped her in the car and we drove home. As soon as we walked in the apartment doors, the phone began to ring.
