No more hidding
392 Words
Confused, my brain was trying to process everything that has happened recently, i've hid for way too long. memories start to flash immediately i felt the bullet hit my back and while the darkness was trying to overcome me i felt a sharp pain in my abdomen suddenly i feel wetness in between my legs and all i can hear is luis yelling thru the phone while he was dragging me out of the battle ground. As the darkness was about to overcome me the last thing I heard was “don't die on me now… we have gone through worse” and like that the dark overcame me.
I woke up in a hospital bed. I saw 2 men outside my room, a very beautiful girl with very long straight black hair came to me and told me in spanish that Luis was on his way and that he would explain everything. As they said he immediately entered the room very quietly and he had a big bouquet of white and yellow roses. Putting them in the vase very carefully he turns around and places them on the nearest counter near me as he gets closer he starts to knee down and tells me “ I'm sorry for I have failed you; you lost your baby while we got caught in the crossfire.” What did he just say? I went from looking at him to looking at the staff still inside my room. Yelling at them to get out was enough to get them running. No it can't be, why me? Why? Why is it the only thing I thought of? Tears started to fall from my cheeks and Luis full on has to hug me. At this point I am starting to rip the ivs off me and trying to get all these wires and tubes away from me but as soon as I tried standing up I fell. The beautiful girl injected me with something the darkness soon overtook me again.
Like that my flashback ended. I'm starting to understand that hiding won't ever solve anything , that i have to face my problems head on. Phase two will happen as planned, i will not back off i knew since day one that this would end up happening it just took me this long to be able to acknowledge and accept i was wrong.
