Chapter 41

I woke up on a hospital bed , how the fuck did I get here ? what happened ? my head shot up as soon as I heard the door open

"Good you're awake , how are you feeling ?" this doctor said

"im ok , who are you ?" i said confused

"im Dr.Montovlo, we met last night you don't remember ?" he questioned

"no I don't quite remember anything" i said looking around

"well you did come in manic , do you have a history with mental illness ?" he asked sitting down

"yea i have persistent depressive disorder, i see my psychologist here and there" i said looking down

"nothing to be ashamed of but do you usually have panic attacks like this ?" he asked

"no not really , i haven't had an episode in a while" i said

"are you suicidal ?" he asked

"not anymore ?" i said

"why are you questioning yourself" he asked

"i mean i was , but i haven't really had suicidal thoughts lately... but you aren't my psychologist i shouldn't be speaking about this to you" i said becoming defensive

"you're right I am not your psychologist, but i am now your doctor i have to ask these questions & from what you've told me your psychologist isn't doing much of a good job that'd i'd like them to do" he said

"no disrespect but can we cut this short why am i here ?" i asked

"well , a patient of mine Kasim Wright told me to call you which is quite strange with how he was" he said

"what do you mean .. how he was ?" i said

"wow memory loss ... ok well he was shot in the head , he had minimal brain function if he was able to point you out for me to call you" he said

what ?

I began to start hyperventilating

"Ms. Fletcher please just breathe , breathe" he said coaching me , and I started to breathe

"he's out of surgery and he is quite lucky things went well but" he said

"but" i said

"he is in a coma and we don't know for sure how long he'd stay in it but based on his injuries he may be in a coma for a couple of months to a year , he's lucky because only 5% of people survive gun shot wounds but if he wakes up we have to keep a close eye on his neurological condition since his frontal lobe is slightly damaged" he said

"you mean when he wakes up" i said

"ma'am" he started

"Mr.Montovlo he's going to wake up , may i please see him" i said

"yes you may , i'll have a nurse escort you to his room" he said

"it's okay i can go by myself" i said

"room 311" he said before walking out

I got up and changed into my clothes, and i have no shoes great

i grabbed my phone and saw that i have nearly 100 missed calls , texts even voicemails

i'll get back to them later , i walked out my room and went upstairs to room 311

I made it to his room and I saw him hooked up to all these ventilators and the beeping was so loud , i could see him breathing , with his eyes closed .. he looked peaceful
