Please stay

Richard

I got up and went to Paul's office. I forgot what today was. I looked on his desk and found a big present. I opened the card.

To Richard,
I didn't forget my husband and best friend's birthday. To a very special person. Who has put up with alot over the years. I love you and always will.
Love,
Paul 🙂

I saw the date he signed it and it was the date of his car accident.
I sat down on the floor and cried. I heard a knock at the door. I grabbed the gift and went upstairs.

I opened the door to see Oliver, Schneider, Till, and Flake. I let them in and grabbed chairs. I had to get Paul. I picked him up and moved him to the couch. They all said how Paul looked like a train wreck and wished me happy birthday.

Till was the first to hand me something. I opened it and it was a picture of all of us. I thanked him.

Oliver gave me the next gift. It was a hat. It was a fedora. I thanked him.

Flake gave me the next gift. It was rainbow colored strings. Two sets of them. It was nice. I thanked him.

Schneider gave me the next gift. I was shocked it was actually two matching outfits to a new look to Paul. That was thought out. I thanked him.

Paul got his glasses back. We ate cake and ice-cream. Then they left. Paul looked sad. I realized I forgot his gift. I went and got it. He realized I didn't open it.
I opened it and it was a new guitar. I was shocked and it was the kind I play. I also found a picture of us. It was very thoughtful of him. I looked up at him and knew something was wrong.

I called for help. They came not long after. I met them at the hospital. I was sitting in the waiting room. When I last saw him his lips were turning blue. I was glad he didn't eat cake or ice-cream because he had to be rushed into the or. Till and everyone else met me.

They saw me playing Paul's guitar with the hole in it. They had not seen that in a long time. "What happened?" said Schneider.

"They think blood clot in the lungs." I said.

"How did they come to that?" said Till.

"His lips were turning blue. They think it is from the accident."

The doctor met us. "He is lucky you found him when you did. It was a blood clot. He is going to be ok now. He is on some oxygen in light of this to bring up the level that dropped. But, it isn't forever. You all can see him."

We all went into the room and sat down. His color was coming back. I was glad he was alive. We sat in silence for a hour. Then he woke up and looked or should I say tried to look at us. I got his glasses and put them on him.

"What happened?" asked Paul.

"Blood clot to the lungs you was turning blue. I called for help. They said it had to do with your accident." I said

"We are here because we care about both of you." said Till.

Once again another close call. I still have to ask why him. He is the most innocent. Why him.
