We Need Each Other

Gone part II

I woke up to see my nurse, he looked over at me & smiled.

"Goodmorning pretty lady."

"Morning."

"I'm just changing your IV fluids."

"I'm cleared to go home today?"

"Yes ma'am, I just need your guardian to sign your release papers."

"How old you do I look to you? I'm my own guardian."

He chuckled, "well then I'll be back in a second with your papers."

I nodded & got up slowly. I grabbed my bag with clothes in it & changed into a jogging suit. I looked into the mirror & I looked dead. I had bags under my eyes & I felt weak. It felt like apart of me was missing. I lost my son & Shawn.

The male nursed & Trent came in interrupting my thoughts.

"You still look gorgeous to me."

I smiled, "thank you."

"I'm David, by the way. "

"I know you know my name."

"Cameron Smith. Birthday day in a few days."

I smiled & nodded.

"I'm doing good, I made you smile twice. I can tell you don't smile a lot."

"You have a good eye."

I gave the clipboard back to him & grabbed my purse. Trent looked pissed.

"Come on Cameron."

"Trent why are you here?"

"I'm taking you home."

I didn't feel up to arguing so I let him help me out the hospital & into the car.

I got home & flopped down on the couch. Trent came & sat next to me.

"you're still here?"

"Cameron."

"Trent, don't. ok? I'm not in the mood to talk with you."

someone knocked at my door. I got to answer it, I opened the door & it was Shawn's mother. 

I stepped back to let her in

"Mrs.Sullivan."

"Hello Cameron. "

"I'm sorry you had to see me like this & on these terms."

"Nonsense, considering the fact that you just lost my grandchild & son you look wonderful."

"I'm sorry, did she just say her grandchild?"

"Mrs.Sullivan this is Trent, an old friend who was just leaving."

"Like hell I am. someone lied to you, that baby was mine."

"what did he say?"

" Shawn and I were going to tell you. But we didn't have the heart. Me and Shawn broke up almost a year ago..."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know. Trent I didn't mean to upset you."

"No need to apologize, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Cameron, I do have to get going to make....funeral arrangements. I just wanted to stop by."

"thank you, you can come over anytime."

she nodded, hugged me & left.

I gave Trent a cold stare. I sat down & looked through my purse. I pulled out a picture of my ultrasound.
