An ambulance arrived within the next 15 minutes. Jaime was bleeding everywhere and my hands were covered in his blood. I cried heavily. I just hugged him gently, laying on the floor next to him. The EMT took Jaime on a stretcher and I ran after them and jumped in the ambulance next to him. I held one of his hands, he was still warm. He wasn't responsive though,
I suddenly remembered a memory from when Jaime and I were dating:
When he found out I was attempting to take his pain pills, Jaime knocked them out of my hand and started crying and telling me its my choice... I remember hearing exactly ,
"Cassandra. Its your choice to stay or leave."
And after he said that, he looked at my other hand full of pills and just pleaded, "Please stay. I love you." And then I cried and he hugged me .
I leaned down to Jaime's ear while he wasn't responsive, and through my sobbing, I managed to say, "Jaime. Its your choice to stay or leave." I paused for a minute, brought his hand to my lips and gently kissed them, and resumed with, "Please stay. I love you."
I then noticed Jaime's eyes twitching. He slightly smiled. His eyes opened and he whispered, "I'm not going anywhere."
We finally reached the hospital, and they took the glass out of Jaime when he got wheeled into the ER. It took about an hour to get every shard out. I heard his cringing. His foot was twitching with every shard taken out.
Another hour passed and the doctor told me I could visit Jaime. But , only I could. apparently the doctor said the only person Jaime wanted to see, was me. She also informed me that Jaime lost a lot of blood but his body regenerated it fast enough. He would be a little silly for a while, but he is still himself.
I walked into the ER room he was in, and intro-ed with, "Well, your only request is here," with a smile.
"I heard everything you said in the ambulance. I heard you crying. Why would I leave when I'd be leaving behind the one girl who I love? Plus..my jerk of a cousin is still alive. I have yet to put a shard of glass in him," he laughed.
"So you're staying..for me?" I asked. I could feel the tears running down my face.
"Wouldnt be for anyone else."
