Just Breathe - Adopted by Mandy Gonzalez - COMPLETED

58 - Hospital

"Becky, sweetie. Why did you run away?"

"Josh... he...he...he cheated on me Mama." I burst into louder tears than I had all day, just saying it out loud sounded so much worse.

"Oh my gosh. Baby... I'm so sorry. You don't deserve that. Not at all. You deserve so much better than him. And he doesn't deserve you if he's going to do that."

"You always said to hold onto him, that he's a gentlemen and that he's could be the one. And he cheated on me Mama. He was making out with Isabella backstage and I saw. They were really passionate too, like we were on my debut." I break down in her arms, sobbing and shaking. Blood was seeping out of my legs and hands and my left wrist hurt so badly, I was sure I'd done something to it when I fell. Everything hurt in me, but my heart hurt the most.

"I'm going to call dad, get him to bring over a first aid kit. Let's have a look at your cuts." I rest my left wrist on my right for support and show her my hands. "Becky, we need to get you to a hospital baby, these cuts are so deep and filled with dirt and even glass baby."

"Mommy, my wrist hurts, not the cuts, but inside. I think I broke it when trying to stop the fall."

"Okay, we'll get you too the hospital honey." She called my dad. "Hey Doug. She's alive and in my arms, and right now that's all I ask for. But we need you, a first aid kit, and a car to her her to the hospital. She thinks she broken her wrist, there's glass and dirt in her cuts so we may not be able to do anything."

"Okay sure, but what about Maribelle? I can't leave her here all alone."

"Being her, Becky will appreciate her support."

"Is Mari coming?"

"Do you want her here baby girl?"

"Yes please mommy." She caresses my cheek with her thumb and smiles sadly at me. At me, her mess of a daughter. Her broken daughter. Her wreck of a daughter.

"Becky wants her here. You need to hurry, the bleeding not stopping and who knows what could happen in she loses too much. I can't lose my daughter, not like this."

"We're on our way, we won't be longer that 5 minutes. Tell Becky I love her and that I'll be right there."

"I will. Bye." She hangs up and puts her phone down. "Daddy's on his way, he asked me to tell you that he loves you." I smile slightly.

"I love him too. And I love you as well. And Mari." She gave me a kiss on the forehead and held me gently while rubbing my back. I kept my eyes shut and curled up however much I could without hurting myself more. After a few minutes my dad and sister arrived. "Daddy, I love you. I love you too Maribelle. I'm sorry I'm a mess of a daughter."

"Shhhh, don't be like that baby girl." He crouched beside me and stroked my cheek. "You are strong, I know you are Becky. But we need to get you to the hospital as soon as possible. Who do you want in the back with you?"

"Mommy please." He nodded and picked up off Mandy's lap. He carried me and helped me into the car. He put me into the middle of the three seats, Mom on my left, my legs up on the right side. "Thanks Daddy." I closed my eyes trying to relax myself but everything in and around me hurt.
