Holding Onto You

Chapter 9 - Your Love

I woke up to blurry white walls. The blinds were slightly open so I could tell it was dark outside. There were flowers and a monitor next to me and it was beeping with my heart rate up under it. I started panicking because I realized I was in the hospital and I felt like I had been gone for a few days. I tried to sit up but it hurt so I laid back down seeing my purse on the counter and a letter sticking out of it. It read "Stephon". I reached over, picked it up, and read it slowly. It read

Dear Imani,

I felt really bad about everything that happened at school today.
I chased after you and saw you drive out the parking lot.
I turned around to walk back inside to get my car keys to follow you,
but then I heard a crash down the street and ran to see what happened.

When I got to you, you were passed out and bleeding a lot. The driver that
hit you got away so I had to call the police and your family. But when I first
saw you I thought you were dead, and me seeing you like that made me
realize... I love you. And I couldn't ever imagine living without you. No
matter how lame that sounds its true, and I wouldn't be ashamed to tell anyone .

                                                                                               Your Love,
                                                                                                     Stephon

P.S I've been here since the accident and I'm waiting in the lobby. Please wake up soon.
I need you and god forbid anything happen to you.

I got teary eyed because I really didn't know what happened to me. So I hit the nurse button and a lady came in. "Oh thank god your awake! We've had so many people asking about you. You were on the news and everything. It was such a fatal crash everyone's was blessed that you lived!" "Wh-what happened ?" "You were in a car accident with another car and a really big truck. But you were the car farthest from them truck so you got the most decreased blow. Everyone else died." When she said that I started painting so she put the oxygen thing over my mouth. I kind of felt like it was my fault for some reason so I asked her "Am I going to jail?" She laughed "Oh no you can leave as soon as your better." "And when will that be? Why can't I feel my legs? I wanna see Stephon!-" "Wait dear! Hold on if you get your heart rate and blood pressure to high you won't be leaving this hospital for a while..." I blinked at her and then looked at the card from Stephon in my hands "He is here." she told me "But we have been restricted by anonymous persons for anonymous reason that only family members are allowed to see you... We gave you epiderol which is why you cant feel your legs. You had a piece of debree get stuck in your right one and it was all rusted so that's why we did it. And you should be leaving tomorrow, your mom has ordered special 24 hour supervision to make sure you get better in time for graduation."
