Hidden (Urban Story)

Chapter 21

Two weeks later 

Quinton has been in the hospital for the past two weeks now, He had been through so much that they had to induce a coma for him to heal properly and with minimal pain. We were there at the hospital everyday since he was admitted and we just wanted to see him get better and come back home. As for Diablo we still had him cooped up in one of our high security warehouse where we were torturing him worse than how he did my brother. I wanted to kill him as soon as I saw him, but that would be too easy and after what he put Quinton through, there was no way I was giving him the easy way out.

"Hey babe, do you want to go and grab something to eat before or after we leave the hospital?" Dominic asked. I turned to face him as I was putting on my clothes in my room. I was starving, food sounded like a good idea. 

"Well, since we were at the hospital this morning I think we should grab a bite to eat before we go back." I said as I turned back to face the mirror. Dominic approached me and wrapped his arms around my waist. 

"You smell good." He complimented. I smiled and turned around to peck him on the lips. 

"Thank you kind sir. Now go finish getting dressed. We have things to do today." I said as I lightly pushed him towards the bathroom. Dominic was a good person, he was a patient person. Every since so many things started going downhill I failed to be a girlfriend to him. I failed at being a human some days. I was so cold and detached from reality sometimes that nothing mattered more to me than revenge and blood shed. For the weeks were Quinton was gone and the moments leading up to right now. I'm trying, I really am because I know he is an amazing person and somewhere a long the line of all this bullshit I forgot that or I just didn't care. I wanted to get back to being me. 

"Alright, i'm ready baby. Lets go." Dominic sauntered out of the bathroom looking nothing short of gorgeous. I felt my face heat up as he finished hooking the watch onto his wrist and looked up giving my his crooked smile. 

"Well, don't you just look handsome." I said as I grabbed my purse off of the dresser and began my walk out of the house and to my car. I threw my car keys to Dom and he caught it as he opened the passenger door for me and waited until I was in before he hopped in the drivers seat and pulled out the driveway. 

Quinton 

"So when exactly do I get to leave Dr. Stevens?" I asked for about the 10th time in the last 5 minutes. The doctor just looked at me shaking his head with a smile on his face. 

"You are rather impatient. You have at least another week in here." He responded. I groaned out loud as I turned my head to look out the window. 

"Look, you came in here two weeks ago pretty much dead. You had so much damage done to your body that you kept flat lining. Your body is currently in an extensive healing process. So far you have been recovering excellently but we need to make sure that you are 100% coming out of this hospital. So stop complaining about how long you have to be here and count your lucky stars that you're even alive right now because a lot of people in your position don't make it." He lectured as he checked my vitals one last time and left the room. I laid in the uncomfortable hospital bed as thought back on the condition I was in. I still was in a temendous amount of pain some days but other days it was tolerable. No I don't think I was ready to be released yet but there is nothing to do in here. The boredom is a silent killer. A few minutes later with the help of the morphine I was given, I dozed off. I was then awaken by the sounds of laughter and talking. When I opened my eyes I saw my whole squad by or around my bed side. They had either brought more flowers, or more cards or more stuffed animals. 

"Hey big bro! How you feeling today?" Triana asked as she tried to sit beside me on the bed only to realize that there wasn't enough room on it. 

"Meh, i've seen better days but I'm alive so I won't complain." I responded as I made some room for her and pulled her up to the best of my ability.
