The Ex-Wife

Thirteen

My mind regained consciousness but I felt that my eyes where still closed, I had a dull numbing pain in my shoulder and I could hear my surroundings and I quickly found out I was not alone.

"She's fine for the 10th TIME!"

"But-"

"Shut up!"

"Boomer when will she wake up?"

"I'm not sure"

"But what if something went wro-"

"She. Is. FINE!"

Silence. I heard footsteps moving back and forth. Pacing? I heard people shuffling and someone typing on a phone. Someone sighed in frustration.

"Why is she taking so long! I swear she's doing this on purpose she always knows exactly how to piss me off and shoot my nerves!"

I resist the urge to knit my eyebrows together in confusion I was too curious to blow my cover and kept on listening.

"Dude she'll wake up when she's ready!"

"Yeah calm down! God anyone would think you guys where still married!"

I gasped. Shoot cover blown. I heard everyone in-take a breath and the started rushing round, I suddenly felt very claustrophobic. I cracked and eye open and I was met with a burning bright light in which I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut again. I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze it gently.

"Blossy? Open your eyes" I knew who the voice belonged to, only one person calls me 'Blossy' and I was instantly clamed. Slowly I opened my eyes and waited for them to adjust to the light. Blinking a couple of times they focused and around me where my sisters, Boomer and Butch. I looked to my left and the face closest to me belonged to my ex-husband.

"Hey" Bubbles said quietly

"How ya feelin'?" Buttercup asked, I shifted a bit and a shot of pain rushed through my right shoulder, I winced a bit and saw it all bandaged up and a circle of blood visible beneath the dressing.

"A little sore" I croaked, I tried to clear my throat and Bubbles passed me a glass of water which I sipped.

"Thanks" I said my voice sounding more clear "So what happened?" I asked, Bubbles walked around and sat on the edge of my bed.

"You had to go into surgery to get the bullet out, so that will explain the soreness and the dressing" She explained.

"What about Princess?" I asked

"She was taken into custody and is facing a 10 year sentence, it would have been 20 but having money gets you somewhere" Buttercup said

"Mitch rang and told us to tell you he's fine, Princess had caught him snitching around and planned on killing him too but luckily when we got their and the fighting began he managed to get away" Boomer said, I sighed in relief that Mitch was okay I would have to thank him later.

"He also told us to tell you, next time you have a story leave him out of it" Butch smirked, I laughed slightly but winced again in pain that was gradually subsiding.

Brick suddenly stood up and was looking furious.

"Guys would you mind if I speak to Blossom alone?" He said in a low voice. Everyone looked slightly unsure and I suddenly didn't want to be left alone with him.

"Please?" Brick spat, Butch looked angry and Buttercup looked pissed off and stormed over to him.

"5 minuets, no shouting, no touching and no pinning the blame or her got it?" She said, Brick just nodded his head and they all walked out of my hospital room. I shifted uncomfortably in my bed and began playing with the sheets, Brick had his back to me his hands on his waist.
