THE CHURCH GIRL

CHAPTER 59

*******DEVON'S POV************

Black. Everything went black in a blink of a second. The last thing i remembered was a white light, and Naomi's scream. 

The hospital was crowded, my head was bleeding, my back was hurting but all i could think of was Naomi. She was still unconscious. There was blood all over her. Her face and nose had blood oozing out and blood was dripping from her legs. I run beside the hospital bed following the nurses and doctors that was on first response on call. I could care less about my pain even with the nurses trying to get me on a bed as well. Naomi's eyes were closed. She could barely move and the sight of her scared the hell out of me. I kept asking my blank spaced out head why she wasn't even moving, or even blinking. For a long pause in my confused state i wasn't sure whether i was in the right hospital.I started looking around confused with blood dripping on my shirt. I felt dizzy, tired and in pain, just not sure where exactly it was coming from or care less to treat it. 

I was starting to feel my legs get weak and the dizziness got worse and before i know it, someone is helping me off the floor to a bed.

Not sure how many hours had gone by, but i woke up with my head feeling like a thousand hammer hitting it all at once. Naomi was all i could think of. I barely noticed my mother lying on the couch or Ryan, head down on the bed sleeping. I tried to move and step down from the bed without waking up Ryan bu the pain got a billion times worse. 

''Where do you think you are going?'', Ryan whispered calmly looking up at me with curiosity and i could swear it had concern and pity in it but i didn't really care.

''Can you help me up......I need to check on Naomi'', I tried getting off the bed again and the yell came with waking my mother up.

''You are not fine, you need to get some rest just like she is getting the same. Her family is around and they will be by her side when she wake up just like yours are'', my mother jumped in with concern all over her face.

''Wait..... she is still not awake. What day is it anyway?. I need to see her, what about bulldog'', I murmured under my breath adjusting my back.

''No she isn't awake yet, We have been checking on her in between hours. Today is Saturday. Bulldog is getting much better'', Ryan answered immediately without eye contact. He only do that when he is hiding something.

''What aren't you telling me. Is Bulldog okay or not?'', my patience was starting to run out.

''Honey, he is fine, i promise. He was here yesterday'', my mother cut in sharply taking the heat off Ryan.

''How long have i been here. I really need to see her, i need to know what's wrong with her and how long is going to take for her to wake up''.

''You've been here for three days now, and the doctor....oh wait he needs to be here right now'', my mother cut in again rushing outside.

''Ryan, what's going on, come on. You've been avoiding my eyes every time i ask you about Naomi. I hate guesses so you might as well start talking. Three days here, explain that too please''.

''You were on anesthetics and some pain meds. Your injuries weren't as serious as hers according to the doctor because the impact was on her side of the car. The doctor wasn't very specific when she is going to wake up because her injuries weren't very assuring'', i kept waiting for him to finish the sentence because i knew he was holding back.

''Ryan, continue''.

''She had some broken ribs, and also a head injury, including a leg injury because they found her leg stuck in between the seats. The airbag punched her chest way too much after the impact, it caused some injury as well, i am so sorry Dev'', now i was sure why he had pity and concern earlier. I did that to her. She warned me, and all i did was hurt her again, this time unsure how it will get fixed. I sunk back in the bed lost in thought and for the first time in my life i felt empty, unsure and about to loose everything i got back when i lost. My mother rushed in with a bunch of doctors and nurses instructing them to examine me because i just woke up. Ryan was as confused as i was prompting himself to move and pace around the room.
