My hero

Chapter 2

Michael's POV

She groaned in pain and whimpered and clutched her stomach but she still wasn't conscious.

She whimpered a few more times and her hands clutched different areas of her stomach while she was unconscious. I sat on the coffee table and held one of her hands. "Michael...you're getting attached", Mary said. "I can't help it, even if I tried. And I'm just being kind."

"You're gonna hurt yourself Michael."  "No, not as hurt as she is, I have a feeling she won't hurt me", I said. "You know what Michael? I think she's gonna rock your world", Mary teased making me chuckle. 

My laughter went away when I heard her groan in pain again. "I'm gonna lift her dress up just a bit and look at her tummy, and gently press on it", Mary said.

"OK, I'll close my eyes."  I closed my eyes and I heard a gasp from Mary. "Oh dear god."

I slowly opened my eyes concerned about Mary. She turned to face me. "Are you sure Bill didn't hit her?" "I'm positive, Bill says he didn't, and honestly she fell after Bill had stopped when we were getting out the car. I opened my door just as she hit the ground."

  "Maybe....I don't know what to think but Michael she isn't well. I think we should call a doctor tomorrow when she's conscious, but for now I'm gonna give her an IV and pray for her. Someone hurt her really badly Michael. I don't think you should look because you'll cry."  "OK Mary."

I watched as Mary went into her medical closet here and pulled out some stuff. She went to the sink and rinsed the cloth from earlier and then wiped her arm off to place the IV in. After she wiped her arm, she let it dry before using an alcohol pad and then she searched for a vein and gently pushed the needle in.  I watched her eyes jump open and tears started forming in her eyes quickly.

"No! Please! Please! Please! I'm sorry! I'll be a good girl! Please! Please don't hurt me! Please, I'll be good!" She was crying and begging. Mary calmly gave her the IV anyhow and she just sobbed no over and over again and then she fainted again and I wiped the tears from my eyes. "Poor thing. She got so worked up she fainted again."  "What's wrong with her Mary?" "I ......" Mary examined both of her arms closely by holding them. "There's needle marks all over her arms.....Michael, this is gonna be a hefty investigation, she is not well."

     I reached to her arm and held her hand. "Michael let's transport her upstairs into a guest room, this way when the doctor comes. The doctor can better assist her and see what's wrong and she'll have more privacy."

"OK,  sure." I carried her while Mary held the IV thing and we carefully walked upstairs to be gentle on her and the IV. I carefully peeled back the covers and placed her in gently then tucked her in. She snuggled into her pillows and Mary and I left and I quietly shut the door behind me.

  I tiptoed back downstairs with Mary and together we made a phone call to Dr. Cooper. Dr.Cooper insisted he'd be here first thing tomorrow morning and even offered to clear his schedule if need be, and he's even bringing all of his special equipment for her just to make sure that she's healthy.

    "You can go home now if you want Mary", I told her. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure you're husband is waiting for you." "OK Michael, but don't hesitate to call me if she wakes up or something alright? I'll be here early to wait for the doctor. with you."

 "Thank you Mary." "You're welcome Michael, Good night."  "Goodnight Mary."

  I closed the door and locked it and then I went upstairs and into my empty bed for the umpteenth time. I don't even have a friend, to share it with or a girlfriend and no wife either. I showered and changed and I remained awake for awhile.

6:30 am

I woke up to my alarm not having any recollection of when I actually fell asleep. I yawned and went to go brush my teeth and shower and that stuff. Today I settled on wearing my red button down with my black pants.
