Our crazy life

Chapter 4

I immediately dropped my phone and it hit the ground. I threw the covers off of me, grabbed my rope and ran to Louis's room. I really didn't want him to know about Keanu but there was no other option. I picked Louis up and put his head on my shoulder. He was still asleep and I hoped he stayed sleeping. I carefully walked down the stairs but nearly fell from the fear that was rushing through my body. I grabbed my purse and my keys sitting on the kitchen table and ran out the door.

When I arrived to the hospital I noticed Louis had woken up. I unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car. I opened up Louis's car door and got him out. I explained to him what happened in a way he would understand. Although I didn't know the whole story either. We walked into the hospital and got onto the elevator. On the way up it was silent. I kept thinking about how awful i treated Keanu before he left and now he's sitting in a hospital bed. I felt like a dog.

We finally reached the floor we needed to get off at and I walked to the desk and asked what room number Keanu Reeves was in. That lady responded and said "room 204" and waved at Louis. Louis didn't wave back, he shoved his head into my shoulder. I knew he was still tired and clearly was confused about what was going on.

I called Gesine, my sister and asked her to come to the hospital to sit with Louis while I went into the room with Keanu. She was already there and waiting outside his door. She took Louis from me and assured me everything was going to be okay. She walks off and started having a conversation to Louis.

I grasped the door handle and slowly opened it. I felt tears come to my eyes and then I saw Keanu. There was tons of wires and iv's and I hated to see him in such pain. I walked over to the side of the bed and sat down on the chair. I took Keanu's hand and held it tight. About that time a nurse walked in. She said he's a little sleepy from the meds but he should wake up soon. I nodded and looked over at him. I started talking to him even though he couldn't hear me. I said "hey baby, it's me your wife. I just wanted to let you know I love you and I'm glad you'd here. I know I wasn't the friendliest when you left and I feel awful. In a way I feel like the accident was my fault. If I hadn't been upset with you I probably would have told you I didn't want you to go out with your friends. But I was mad and told you to go"

My tears started falling down my face harder and faster the more I thought about the whole situation. I felt like my life was being ripped into a million pieces and directions and I felt like I had no where to turn or to talk too. I looked over at Keanu and he was starting to wake up. He looked over at me and gave me a slight smile. I could tell he still wasn't fully with it, or all the way awake. He said "hey baby" in a scruffily voice. He wiped the tears from my face and said "why are you crying, I'm here and I'm alive aren't I?" I said "yes but this is my fault, the whole reason why your laying in this hospital bed is because of me" Keanu's voice got a little louder and said "what do you mean. It's my fault I'm laying in this bed right now because I made the stupid choice to get drunk. Your the one who even told me and reminded me about what happened last time. So if there's a finger to point at and to blame it would be me"

I changed the subject and asked "so are you okay, there's no broken bones or anything?" He answers and said "not that I know of, I'm just in a lot of pain." I could see the pain in his eyes so I crawled up into the hospital bed with him and laid my head on his chest. I started talking about earlier and I apologized for being so short and rude. He responded and said "it's okay, I know how girls moods work, they can change in a matter of seconds." I laughed slightly and and we laid there in silence. I ended up falling asleep on Keanu's chest and Keanu had fallen asleep too. Gesine had taken Louis back to her house so he could sleep and so he wouldn't have to stay at a hospital all night.

That next morning I woke up and I was still in the very spot I fell asleep in. Our hands were still interlocked and my head was still resting on Keanu's chest. I look over to see what time it was and I remember Louis. I got up quickly and grabbed my phone. I dialed Gesine's number and I waiting until she picked up. I said "hey you have Louis right?" She laughed a little and said "yes I do, I came into the room last night and you had fallen asleep so I took Louis back to my house for the night. But he's fine. He's eating breakfast right now." I was relived to know Louis was safe and okay.

Keanu was still asleep and his phone started to ring on the table next to the bed. I picked up his phone and it was the LA police. I answered the phone and the policemen said "is Keanu available?" I replied and said "no he's not at the moment but I can take a message" the policemen said "well who is this?" I replied and said his wife. The policemen continued and said "do you happen to know if there was another women in the car at the time of the accident?" I said "no, not that I know of" he said "okay well we were trying to collect evidence from the scene and we found some things that may belong to a women, but we will call the fire department to see if they know anything."

I took the phone away from my ear and stood as still as a statue. I stared at the wall with a blank look on my face and then looked over at Keanu. I heard the policemen say "mam, mam are you there" I hung up the phone and mumbled to myself "please don't tell me he lied to me and went to see another girl" I ran out of the room and rushed to the front desk.
