How To Self Destruct

Deceived Emotions

Night

I open my eyes immediately as two cars in front of me crashed head onto each other. A few more seconds and that would've been me. I turn left as I find myself feeling nauseous. I head for the hospital as my phone buzzes. I look down to see Alexis texting me as I go to read her text.

A- Hey I made it over my sisters, are you ok? You haven't texted me back...
D- I'm fine just need to lay down tired lol

I sent the text back to her as I finally made it to the hospital. I take my mask off as my breathing was getting hard. I park the car not caring how I parked as I had got blood on the leather seats. I walk into the entrance as nurses immediately rush towards me. I'm leaking bad as they help me onto a stretcher as the last thing I see is hospital lights.

I wake up as I tried to sit up before feeling pain in my abdomen. My body sore as everything from last night starts to rewind in my mind. I smashed Nelson legs in and got my karma for doing so. A teenage girl stabbed me... poor kid probably thought I was going to hurt her.

The gentle monitors around me beeping as I lay my head on the pillows. I close my eyes as I wait for who ever comes in to check on me. This hard bed was getting uncomfortable as I try to relax myself. I made it to the hospital in time and I'm thankful. Thank God. See he does forgives.

"Oh my God Dyland!" A familiar voice spoke out as I open my eyes to see Alexis. She was wearing nurses scrubs as she had worked here. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh no this is bad. "I was walking... down the street and some guy tried to mug me." I told her as she shakes her head looking at me concerned.

"You poor baby, are you feeling any better?" Alexis asked me as she rubs my face gently with her hands. Like a clock went off an idea went off in my mind. She's a nurse. She's going to want to help me. "Yea... I would feel a little better knowing your the one looking after me." I told her as she smiles at me as she rubs on my arm. She rubs on my arm until she sees something that catches her attention.

"That's weird." She said as I look at her confused. "What's weird?" I asked her as she studies my arms as she looks in my eyes. "Melanie's boyfriend was assaulted last night in a alley. And than you were assaulted last night as well." She's putting two and two together. I have to think fast.

Damn Alexis... your a smart one aren't you.

"We're in Chicago Alexis... we both should be grateful we didn't get shot." I told her as she takes a deep breath as she shakes her head. "Well he's in the hospital, Melanie said his legs are severely damaged. He's been crippled." Alexis told me as if I hadn't known but she doesn't know that I'm the one responsible for this. "That's sad... can you send her my condolences." I say sincerely as she nods her head as she continues to rub on my arm.

He may never walk again, but at least I feel better.

Alexis was my nurse and she took care of me as she made sure I got better. Felt nice. Been awhile since someone has taken care of me. I'm usually the one taking care of them. When it was time for me to leave she made sure she saw me out to my car. Ironic right? I'm usually one to do these things.

This predicament I was in made us a little bit closer with each other. I found out a lot about her as I was in this hospital bed. The doctor would have to come in and send her away, that's how much time she had spent talking to me. You've been through a lot Alexis. And that makes me want to be here for you even more. I won't let another person break you. You'll see. I'm the perfect guy.
