Gone too Far

Chapter 15

The hospital was maybe an hour drive out, but I think I passed out because when Blake woke me up, it had only felt like a few minutes. I struggled to keep my eyes open as Blake held out his hand for me to take while helping me out of the car. 

"Are you alright? You look like your about to…-"

And just at that moment my legs went numb, and everything around me went fuzzy. My body hit the ground, but my head was protected thanks to Blake's sudden lunge to place his hand under my head. Blake's voice became background music as my eyes rolled back into my head and everything went black.

-Beep.-

-Beep.-

-Beep.-

The fuck is that annoying noise?!?!? 

     It was extremely bright wherever I was, and there was this constant annoying beeping sound stuck on replay. There was something that was going down deep into my throat that was dry and uncomfortable. Swallowing was impossible and I didn't even have enough strength to open my eyes. My nerves hit me then and the beeping sounds quickened their pace, mocking me with each breath I staggered. Something warm touched my hand and started rubbing it slowly. Like Blake had done the night before. I calmed my breathing and the beeping slowed down as I felt myself relax. It was then that I realized the beeping was my heart rate, I was probably hooked up to a machine, a machine in the hospital. I was at the hospital. 

"Is she going to be okay?"

Blake's voice was music to my ears, although he didn't quite sound himself.

"She's been through a lot, but I think she's going to be just fine."

Another soft woman's voice was somewhere near in the room. Oh jesus, she couldn't possibly know, could she?

"Exactly what DID you find?"

"Well, the doctors did a full-body scan and found a lot of scrapes, bruises, and fractures. They also found some internal bleeding that they got fixed up right away. She should be out of here in a day or so. We also noticed something else however…"

Please shut the hell up! 

"Like what?"

"I really don't think it would be proper for me to be the one to tell you. Scarlett can tell you when she wakes up, its rather a private thing, that she may not feel comfortable sharing."

Oh shit, she knew alright.

"Miss, I need to know whats going on, please."

I herd the nurse sigh and knew he had got to her.

"Alright, follow me please, another nurse is about to come in here to take the end of my shift."

I felt Blake's lips touch the side of my cheek gently before hearing his footsteps begin to leave the room. My eyes started to crack open slightly and I watched as his back disappeared behind the door before I could stop him.

A few minutes later, another nurse came in and started taking out the tube that was going down my throat.

"You need me to get you anything Ma'm?"

"Water."

"Of course."

She left the room and I just laid their still, starring up at the boring white ceiling. 

The door opened again and Blake walked in slowly to the foot of my hospital bed. I couldn't look him in the face, knowing he knew what had really happened. He sat down on the edge of the bed close to my feet and put his face in his hands. The silence was too uncomfortable. 

"So… wheres my boston cream donut?"

He got up with no emotion and walked over to the small table in the corner of the room, grabbed the brown bag, and tossed it so it landed next to me on the bed.

"I'm sorry about what happened… I had no idea it went that far."

He spoke in a harsh tone and wouldn't look me in the face. It frustrated me not knowing what to say to him. He sat on the edge of my bed again and looked out through the window in the back corner.

"Its my fault. If I had just mad a dam effort to keep you in the house that night… he wouldn't have even got to you. I can't believe it!" 

Blake got up quickly and pushed a sitting chair out of his way while walking to the window and leaning his forehead against it. 

My eyes stung and I so badly wanted to tell him it wasn't his fault, but my throat went dry as tears streamed down my face. Blake turned around suddenly and was by my side holding my hand and brushing away my tears.

"I didn't mean to yell…sorry."

"Stop.Saying.Sorry."

I spoke in between sniffles.

"Its my own fault. What happened can't be changed, I just want to go back home to my warm and comfy bed."

He kneeled down next to my bed so our faces were only a few inches apart. 

"You need to stay in the hospital for a few days… I already called your brothers, they should be here in about an hour."

"You fucking did what!?!?"

Just then the nurse popped in with a small plastic cup of water. She walked in, set the water on the table awkwardly, and silently left the room to let us finish.

"I couldn't not tell them Scar. They deserved to know. They don't know every detail, just that your scratched up pretty bad, and who did it to you. Someone already took care of him this morning down the same alleyway, probably checking to see if you were still there."

His fist clenched in front of me on the bed and he averted my eyes.

"So hes…."

"Yes."

I nodded my head and let the strain from the back of my neck loosen. Knowing someone was dead because of me wasn't a happy feeling, but I couldn't say that I wasn't relived that I wouldn't have to worry about seeing him again in my life.

"Get some sleep, I'll be here when you wakeup."

"Alright, but do me a favor and unplug that dam thing thats making the beeping noise?"

"I'll get the nurse."

He kissed me softly and shortly on the lips, and I gave him a final small smile before letting my eyelids close completely and letting sleep consume my entire body.
