Terry
I was in the hospital sitting down waiting for the doctor to come and give me information on Diane. I had been here for almost a hour and no one had come to talk to me.

"Oh my God Terry where is she? Has anyone came to talk to you yet?" Sheila asked as she and Troy came running in. I shook my head. "No and it's been a hour. WHEN CAN I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT MY WIFE!"

The nurses that were there looked at me like I was crazy and one of them came over to us.
"Sir who are you looking for?"

"Diane Bob she was in a car accident." She scanned over the chart until she found her name. "Oh uh she is great, she's perfectly fine she just has to have some stitches. I'll take you to her right now. Follow me please."

"Ok thank you. I'll be back guys."

Patricia
We were on the way to the hospital and worried was an understatement. I was calling everyone but no one was answering the phone.

"Babe calm down i'm sure she's perfectly fine there's nothing to worry about." He was rubbing my thigh as he was driving.

"Yeah I hope your right can you just hurry up
please."

"If I go any faster we'll be in the hospital next." I looked at him from out the corner of
my eye. "Ha ha very funny."

"Sorry babe I was just lightening up the mood. You have to calm down because it's not good for you or the baby especially with how worked up you can get. Your almost through with this pregnancy and I want the last month to be as smooth as the past four have been."

"This situation is different Diane is like my sister and if she is hurt in anyway I have the right to be worried so please don't tell me how to react." He moved his hand off of my thigh and turned the music up. Ten minutes later we pulled into the parking lot and I got out of the car before he could even put the car in park.

"Pat are you crazy, stupid, or high your eight months pregnant and you just jumped out of a moving car." He was running after me as I busted into the hospital doors. I saw Shelia sitting down, but I heard Terry scream.

"NOOOO YOU SAID SHE WAS PERFECTLY FINE ALL SHE. NEEDED WAS SOME STITCHES! NOW YOUR SAYING SHE IS BLEEDING INTERNALLY?" He came from around the curtain as the doctor followed him.

"Sir please calm down she read the wrong chart to you. Diane Bob was brought in from a car accident she and another collided head on she survived and so did the other driver, but the passenger didn't. When she was brought in we ran multiple tests and we gave her an ultrasound, from there we saw that she had internal bleeding. The next step is to wait and see how she is and we will take the next step." He went to go sit down and held his head in his hands. Once the doctor walked away I walked over.

"Hey Terry i'm sorry were late I tried to call but I can see that your uh... how long have you been there."

"A hour almost two she's bleeding internally but it's not too bad because she's not going into surgery but watching her suffer isn't going to be easy. I'm just confused as to why they allowed her to drive home if she was drunk." Shelia looked up from her hands.

"Terry she wasn't drunk when she left my house you know if she was I wouldn't have let her leave. And even if she did leave drunk that was her fault she's a grown ass woman she knows what she is supposed to do."

"Guys we aren't going to argue about this let's just be glad she is alive." I tried to ease the situation but Terry pushed me out of the way and Dewayne caught me. "Ah Terry watch what your doing." Troy now stood up to block Terry from Shelia.

"Terry you need to watch who your talking to. Y'all have been friends too long for something that's your wife's fault to break the friendship."

"You have no clue what your saying shut up! Just leave all of you, leave! Obviously no one gives a damn that my wife could die."

"Terry we are here aren't we it's damn near four in the morning and we are here for her, for you. Please don't do this because your going to regret it." Terry turned to face me.

"Go now!" We all got up and left the hospital but I meant what I said he'll regret this when they need someone and we won't be there for them. When we got home me and Dewayne still weren't talking, but we cuddled up in the bed together.

"You know I didn't mean any harm right? I was just looking out for you and the baby."

"I know. I don't even think we should've went, we should've stayed sleep if I knew he was going to do all that."

"He didn't mean it Pat."

"Yeah, but I meant what I said they might have just lost a good friend. I'm tired can we go to sleep D?"

"Yeah good night, I love you."

"Love you too."
