A Journey of Two Night Goers: The Other Moment (Journey Series)

Chapter 17

I then knocked on her door as I went to her hotel room, fully dressed and brought McDonald's with me.

"Flo? It's me. Let's go to the Superdome rooftop now. I have McDonald's for us to eat there."

No answer. This is weird. I knocked again, "Flo?"

Still no answer. I decided to knock again but still no response. I then decided to try and turn the knob. But was shocked when it wasn't locked. Something in me felt bad. What if something happened to her?

I decided to still call her, maybe this time, she'll answer, "Flo? Sorry I went in. Your room's open so... yeah."

I'm starting to feel scared this time. Still no response. Her door was open, her phone is on the table. I really feel that something bad has happened. I then knew I had to look for her. I then stood up and looked for her. I checked under the bed, the closet, and everything else but failed. Though it is against the rules, I decided to look in the bathroom.

"Flo are you here- Oh my God. Flo!" I screamed when I saw Flo. She was sitting on the floor, surrounded by her own blood and I saw a blade beside her. Shit. She cut herself again. I should've known. I then rushed to her and cupped her cheek, "Flo, you okay?"

She then slapped my hand away from her face, "Go away Michael." She mumbled as tears fell from her eyes. She didn't open her eyes and looked at me, making me shook my head and I immediately carried her wedding-style and placed her on the bed. I then sat on the side of the bed and immediately cupped my hands on her wound, avoiding the further bleeding. I then called the hotel staff, "Hey yo."

"Good afternoon sir. What can I do for you?" said,

"Yeah. Um, I need bandage and disinfectant here in room 206. My friend here, uh, she had an accident."

"Yes sir. We'll send them to you immediately."

"Yeah, thanks bro." I said as I hanged up the phone and turned to her, who is already awake.

"I know you cut yourself Flo." I said as I brushed strands of her hair away from her face, "I won't bother asking you why. Just hang in there. I'll clean your wound."

Minutes later, the bandage and disinfectant arrived. I then opened the door and took it, "Thanks." I smiled. Afterwards, the staff left and I sat beside Flo, tending to her wound as carefully as possible. Moments later, I heard Flo yawn.

"I'm sleepy."

"Yeah you should rest." I smiled weakly, "We don't have to go to Superdome-"

"No I wanna do this. I wanna go." She mumbled.

"But Flo-"

"Please Mikey."

I sighed. I can't debate with her now, "Okay. But you need to sleep for a while."

She nodded and closed her eyes to sleep as I continued tending to her wound and placing a bandage on it. I then pulled a table and a pillow and placed her injured hand as I went in the bathroom and washed my hands from the blood. I then took wipes and wiped the floor which has her blood stains. Then I went to Flo. I sat on the floor and tucked her hair behind her ear then held her injured hand, making sure it won't get worse. Eventually, I slept beside her, leaning my head on the table. An hour later, I woke up with a groan. I then looked up and saw Flo already awake.

"Flo. You feel better now?"

"Um yeah. I guess I am."

"Did you eat already before I arrived?"

She shook her head.

"I have McDonald's with me." I said as he placed her wounded hand on the bed with a pillow as a support. I then stood up and took the McDonald's and opened her order. I then placed them on a small table and went to her to place extra pillows on her head for her to sit up.

"Mikey, I'm not sick." She whined.

"I know."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"You said you wanna go to the Superdome rooftop. So that's why."

But that was not the only reason. I saw Flo earlier. She was fragile, she was on the brink of breaking. I'm trying to be careful, careful not to break her totally. I'm here trying to pick up some shattered pieces. I know she needs me even if she won't admit it. The least I can do is be with her.

She then sighed as sat beside her and placed her wounded hand and the pillow on my leg. I then took the food and fed her.

"Mikey, you know I can do-"

"Your hand is injured. You can't do it." I said firmly, making her sigh.

I continued feeding her as I noticed her shiver from the cold. I then called the hotel staff for coffee and it arrived moments later. I then mixed coffee and the hot water and sat back on the bed.

"Drink it." I said as I blew it gently then helped her in drinking it. After drinking the coffee...

"I can dress up on my own Mikey. Is it okay if you go out for a while?" Flo asked softly. She really wanted to go to the Superdome rooftop.

"Yeah sure." I smiled, bringing my own McDonald's.

Moments later, Flo went out fully prepared. I then locked the door for her and we walked going to the Superdome rooftop.
