*Let It Be Me*(A young Criss Angel Story)

FOUR-4

(Kc's p.o.v.)

I was just heading out the door when I heard across Dimitra across the street saying something about having to go to the hospital that Papa J was sick...at that moment my heart sank...and I ran all the way to the hospital...and when I got there and asked out of breath...if John Sarantakos was a patient there...the nurse said yes...I asked if I could see him...that he was my godfather...she gave me a troubled sigh and said I could go in...but only for a moment...that he was very sick...and worn out after all the medications they had to give him...

I slowly walked to his room...and saw that he was still awake...and looking right at the door as if he was expecting someone...he gave me a very warm smile and held his arms out to me...once I reached him I was holding him very closely...and asked him what happened...he kissed me on the cheek and said he knew his pumpkin would come to see him...that he's been waiting for me...I looked up at him while still hugging him and asked again...he simply said cancer happened...I jumped up in shock at those words...as tears began to stream down my face...but he never stopped smiling at me...as he told me how much I meant to his family...and how much he's missed me...I looked blankly around the room...and asked him if the doctor's could fix him up...he touched my cheek and brushed my tears away and said...no...that it was too aggressive and they didn't catch it in time.

I started to cry more...and tell him that it wasn't true...he just held me again...but had no words. I told him that I couldn't stay long...because I didn't want Crisstopher knowing that I was visiting...but I promised him that I would come every day to see him...he blew me a kiss and said my secret was safe with him...just as I walked out of the room...he closed his eyes...and gave a smile to himself knowing that I would be back...Dimitra, JD, Costa, and Crisstopher went in shortly after I left...and stayed with him for hours...before the nurse told them that it was time for his medication...and they all had to leave until the next visitation hours.

After that day...I visited Papa J every day as I promised...but it wasn't until the second month of visiting him that I noticed how down hill he went within just the last week...then it dawned on me that Crisstopher and mama D wouldn't be able to pay for all this...so without telling anyone...I went to the main doctor and asked how much the his hospital bill was so far...then I told them that I wanted to make payments on it for him...I gave them $250.00 that I had in my wallet...then ran straight home and grabbed my lock box that had my money I worked for from the diner...trying to save up for a car...but I took it all out and raced back to the hospital...and told them I wanted all of it to go on John Sarantakos hospital bill...after I signed it...they gave me a receipt showing that I paid on it...I didn't know if it would pay for all of it or not...but it would help them out.

After I spent my few hours with Papa J...I was told that Crisstopher was on his way by the nurse...so I kissed him on the forehead and told him I had to go now...but he wouldn't be alone for long...Crisstopher was on his way over...he smiled at me and told me he'd see me later...I tried to be strong in front of him...because I knew how it tore him up to see me cry...but as soon as I got away from the hospital I broke down and cried knowing that he wasn't going to be with me very much longer...part of me wanted to go to Mama D and tell her how sorry I was...and be there for them...because they were my family too...and my conscience really started hitting me...for leaving them behind...I took a deep breath in...and went to work...for I had the closing shift tonight...then after that I was supposed to meet Micheal, to head over to the Boiler Room with him...I knew I said I was so dumping him...but the airhead that I was didn't do it yet.

We were all at the party having a blast drinking, dancing, and talking about nothing important...when Micheal heard me telling my girlfriends that I was planning on dumping Micheal...and just stay single for a while...not even a second after I said it...Nell sat next to me and asked if she could have him...I rolled my eyes at her and said after I dumped him he was fair game to whoever wanted him...Micheal decided just then if I was gonna dump him...he wanted to give me something to remember him by...so he grabbed me wanting to dance with me...as I was dancing with him...he told his buddy to get his girl a drink...Stephen got his idea...and grabbed a glass of Vodka and put a pill in it...when it dissolved he handed it to Micheal...he in turn gave it to me...without thinking about it I drank it down...

Half an hour later, I felt very weird...and I began to see double...which never happened to me...even when I was totally wasted...which I wasn't...I didn't even have enough drinks for a good buzz yet...the next thing I knew I was out like a light...but I could still hear voices...and the music in the background...until they too finally disappeared...during the time I was knocked out...Micheal had his way with me...after he got his jollies...he just left me there on the mattress but had a little decency to at least cover me up...then as he left...he told Stephen that know I could dump him...then he moved back to the main party room...and began to flirt and tease with Nell...knowing that she was cute, and that she adored him.

When I finally came too, I was still on the mattress completely naked...with just a sheet wrapped around me...and the empty glass that had my Vodka in it...I rubbed my head extremely puzzled wondering what in the hell did I do...I looked around once I gathered what little thoughts I had...and saw my clothes hanging off the chair's back...I quickly put them on...and headed out the doors...only to see that it was 10:00 the next morning...and the party had been over for a long time...I was still a little out of it...when I got home...but when I peeled my clothes off again to take a bath...I looked down and saw a little dried up blood down my inner thighs...along with cached on white shit. I thought on it for a moment...then it dawned on me what I thought I did.
