"I'm her girlfriend, I'm going to ride with her" I said as the paramedic asked before allowing me to step into the back of the ambulance.
I sat on the chair beside the bed where Stef laid unconscious. "Come in baby, open those beautiful eyes" I squeezed her hand hoping for some sort of response. But nothing happened.
"Will she be ok?" I asked he paramedic who was looking at Stef worriedly. My heart raced faster than ever and if something was to happen to Stef I would kill Tess myself.
"She's lost a lot of blood, the bullet went really deep into her stomach causing internal damage. There's nothing we can say until after surgery." She replies to me not taking her eyes of Stef.
We arrived at the hospital as 4 nurses and doctors pushed Stef's bed to the emergency room with me following. I only managed to get half of their conversation that was being said under their surgical masks.
"She needs to go straight to theatre and be operated on to stop the internal bleeding and to remove the silver bullet located to the left of her stomach" my heart dropped as I ran after them until one nurse stopped me saying "you need to wait in the waiting room, we will come and get you when she's out"
How could I just sit and wait? The love of my life took a bullet for me, after everything we've been through. I feel like it's my fault. I shouldn't have told her about my insecurities and that I feel like she doesn't love me, I told her she needs to show how much she loves me more and maybe if I hadn't of said that then I'd be the one being operated on right now. After all Tess was aiming for me. Oh my god. Tess. I forgot she got away!
"999, police. I'd like to report an attempted murder causing a gun shooting injury" I phone the police and explained everything telling them Tess' full name. I hope they find her otherwise we're still not safe.
I remembered I had one more phone call to make. Sharon. I dialled Sharon's cell several times hoping she'd pick up but she didn't. 3 missed calls, 6 messages. I decided to call again leaving a voicemail: "sh-Sharon, I-it's Lena, could you get to the... hospital please, it's Stef. She's been sh-she's been shot" I decided to explain more when she got here, if she got here.
"Is she ok?" Sharon shouting running through the entrance towards me. I stood up crying and hugging her tight as she held my head.
"It was Tess, she tried shooting me but...but..." I shouldn't finish. My emotions had taken over and controlled me.
"But Stef took the bullet" she finished feeling my head nod under her hand. It was all my fault Stef got shot.
"I'm sorry sharon" I said sobbing onto her shoulder with guilt.
"For what... you have nothing to be sorry about"
"She wouldn't have got shot if it wasn't for me. Tess aimed for me. I wish She hadn't of took the bullet. I wish it was me that got shot" I started rambling on from my nerves.
"Hey. Shhh. Do not wish anything like that upon yourself. You hear me?! And as for Stef, she would have taken that bullet for anyone if she seen it coming. Tess will never forgive herself for hurting Stef, but she will be locked away for a long time. Stef is a warrior and she will come out this alive and stronger than ever." She said as she shook me a little from my shoulders bringing me back to reality.
"She only just got her cast off and started feeling herself again" I said as I took a seat in the waiting room while Sharon sat beside me holding my hand.
A full 2 hours had passed, I seen the surgeon who was operating on Stef walk through the door as we walked both stood up.
"Are you both related?" He asked carried a clip board with all her medical records on.
"Yes, I'm her mother and this is her girlfriend; is she ok?" Sharon had asked stilling grilling tightly onto my hand.
"The surgery was successful, we managed to remove the bullet, and stop the internal bleeding. She will be awake within an hour or so" I sigh of relief flew off my chest hearing that the operation was successful. I don't think I'd be able to live without her.
"Can we see her?" I asked.
"Yes, try talking to her, she may wake up sooner"
We followed him the recovering ward upstairs where Stef was laying asleep. He left us both alone as we each sat either side of her bed holding a hand each.
"Don't ever do that again Stefanie, you scared me, and Lena." Her mother said kissing her soft hand.
"Baby, wake up. It's me. I love you" I watched her face looking for a sign of her to wake up.
"She will soon Lena, just give her time, she loves you too you know. I've never seen her love someone as much as you." Sharon said as I looked at Stef and I swore I had seen her eyes move.
"Would it be ok if she moved in with me for recovery?" I asked Sharon, I didn't know whether Sharon would want her staying with her or not. But I seen her nod and smile giving me permission. I felt Stef twitch her hand as I stood up sitting on the bed beside her legs.
Sharon had left to get some coffee after a long night in hospital.
"Sweetie. Let me see those beautiful hazel eyes of yours" I said as I seen he eyes move from left to right rapidly beneath her eyelids.
Her eyes fluttered and closed again from the pain as she removed the oxygen mask from her mouth. Her deep croaky soar throat spoken : "wi-will y-you marry me?" Her voice spoken.
"I thought you'd never ask"

I leant over kissing her lips I had been waiting for all night. I heard a someone clear their voice as I turned around seeing Sharon stood in the doorway holding two cups of coffee.
"Well may I be the first to say congratulations" she said smiling in the doorway making me blush as heat flooded up to my cheeks. ———— A/N: what should happen in the next chapter?
