When I'm Gone

6. Hospital

Ten

Garrett and I rode in the ambulance with her. They are trying to get her to stay awake. Blood covers her face. Bullet wounds in her shoulder, side, and leg. Garrett was trying to get a hold of our parents and hers. I hold her hand tightly. 

Her eyes keep opening and closing scaring me and the nurses. As soon as we got to the hospital they wheel her in. My parents and her dad and brother are already there at the hospital. Her dad is crying as well as my mom.

They take her into a surgery and I break down now officially sobbing my eyes out.

Its been hours and still nothing. Everyone but Veronica and Jackson are her which lead me to wonder if they were together or not. I then get a call from Veronica herself.

BabyRonnie- WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

Me- Oh my lord calm down. I'm at the hospital.

BabyRonnie- Are you okay?

Me- Yeah Ronnie. Miami was shot tonight so I came to the hospital to make sure she's okay.

BabyRonnie- WHAT?!

Me- Baby calm down.

BabyRonnie- I'm on my way now.

She then hangs up and I sigh.

Miami

Waking up honestly hurt. It hurts to breathe. My leg hurts like a bitch as well as my side. I couldn't breathe without immense pains in my shoulder and chest. 

I slowly open my eyes. I have a breathing mask on my face. My leg hangs up in the air in a cast type thing. My side and shoulder both feel taped and wrapped up.

I try not to move for only that would make me hurt worst. I close my eyes again and try to take a deep breathe without hurting myself. Everything hurt.

I hear the door open and keep my eyes closed. "Serves you right for trying to take my boyfriend you famous bitch." Veronica. "Out now" Jackson's voice says. "She deserves it Jacks" she says. "No she didn't" he says. The door closes and no voices are left to be heard.

I begin to cry. 

How could she say that?

Ten

They finally let me see her after Veronica and Jackson came back. She looked pissed but at this point I didn't care. I got to see MiMi.

I walk into the room and see her trying to sit up. "Hey woah. You probably shouldn't sit up" I tell her. "Tenny... I'll be fine" she says. My heart just dropped into my stomach. I haven't been called Tenny since she left. "I'm sorry..... I shouldn't.... have called you that" she says, taking deep breaths. She then looks away. I help her sit up then pull the chair over to the bed and sit down. 

"No it's fine. It's just been a while since I've been called that" I tell her.

She smiles and blushes.

"Why not" she asks. "Because I didn't want anyone calling me that unless its you" I tell her. She blushes even more. I get closer to her. "I miss you Miami" I say. She looks at me like she's about to cry. "I... miss you... too" she says. A single tear slides down her face and I wipe it away.

Its 1 in the morning. My dad begged me to come home but I refused to leave. Veronica won't leave unless I do. Miami's brother is still here. I sit in the room that Mi is in. She's woken up a couple times because of nightmares from when it happened.

I decide to get up and go into her room. I see her sleeping. I sit in the chair next to her and grab her hand. 

"MiMi I know you probably can't hear me right now but I still love you. I never stopped loving you. I never realized how badly I hurt you until you came back and I saw your face when you saw me with her. Mi I'm so sorry. I love you so much" I say lightly squeezing her hand. 

I stand up and kiss her lips lightly. 

"I love you Miami" I say. I go to walk out until I feel my hand being squeezed. I look at her and see her looking at me. " I love you too Ten."

I smile. She pulls me back in to kiss her. 

I finally get to kiss her after years.
