While The Rose Falls (SEQUEL)

Twenty-Five

GUN SHOT* , I felt more blood cover me and heard Jordan's heavy body bang against the ground.

Lifeless.

And I turned around. "She straight?" Mario asked out of breath.
"Babe!.. " I yelled lightly tapping her cheek. She was loosing more and more blood by the minute.

"the...the..baby.." She gasped pointing at her stomach.

"Fuck.." I whispered .

2 hours later..

I waited outside of the emergency surgery room pacing back and forth still covered in the blood of multiple people. I kept checking the clock watching the time go by.
2:17 am.
Finally I heard the door open and saw walk out the doctor.
He sighed on his way coming over to talk to me. "How is she??" I asked impatiently.

He took off a blue glove from his left hand. "Shes gonna be okay." He assured. "We removed the bullet from her shoulder and tried to stop most of the bleeding. She's gonna be sore for a while and probably sleepy..and that the good news."

He sighed again and took off the remaining glove. "The bad news is that she lost so much blood and oxygen her pregnancy was terminated."

My heart broke a little.

"I'm sorry." He said sympathetically before walking away.

I sat down and rubbed my hands over my face into my hair trying to gather my thoughts.

Rose's POV

My eyes could barely adjust to the bright light in the room. I was dizzy and felt super weak.

Scanning the room, I noticed Anthony sitting against the wall with his hoodie on sleeping. He had spots of dried blood on his clothes.

"Anthony.." I called out.

He moved around still asleep.

"ANTHONY!" I said in a whisper-ee type voice.

His eyes opened and he stretched. "Hmmm?"

"How long have I been here?"

He glanced at his watch. "About seven hours .."

There was was a moment of silence.

"Why didn't you tell me you were going at it with Jordan?" I asked fiddling with my fingers.

"I..I.." He stuttered.

"you what!?"

"I didn't want you to worry because I was gonna have it under control."

He walked over to the side of my bed.

"I'm sorry Rose, I can't verbalize how bad I feel." He said grabbing my hand.

I swatted him away. "Leave me alone. Ever since I've met you, there's been nothing but drama. I don't have a relationship with my family, I've been cut off from the rest of the world, fuck, I've been shot and now I'm pregnant.. All because of YOU."

His turned white and froze.

"Rose.." He started.

"no Anthony, I don't want to hear your weak apologies.." I interrupted with disappointment.

"It's not that."

"then what? Is there another female?"

"No!" He interjected.

"Listen to me carefully....

You. Aren't . Pregnant."

"Huh?" I asked in confusion.

"The doctor said you lost too much blood and oxygen for the baby to still live. "

I refused to believe what I was hearing, I was in denial.

I felt tears building up. "You're lying!" I cried slapping him.

"Rose, I wouldn't fucking lie about something that serious." He snapped.

I cried.

Even though I considered an abortion, deep down I knew I wasn't brave enough to let it happen. That poor, helpless being didn't ask to come here. After walking out of that clinic, I decided I was going to lay in the bed I made and raise my child. With or without Anthony.

He kissed my cheek even though I slapped the mess out him.
"I'm so sorry.. I take full responsibility for everything thats happened to you.."
