440 Words
Jru’s POV)
I was going to lose my mind. I felt like we had been in this waiting rom for years instead of the actual 2hrs we had been there.
Grandpa closed Bjs early and came with me. I had been a frequent visitor since bringing Teine in last week after she blacked out. i honestly barely remember driving us here that day.
flashback..
Teine screamed on the ground then immediately blackedout. I could barely breath looking at her on te ground before picking her up. i forgot how good it felt to have her in my arms.. My pretty girl.. my love.
Placing her in my truck and drivng to the hospital was all a blur. I didnt care about any light or car. Nothing was more important then the person next to me. Seeing the pain that bringing her memories back had caused her brought a cold chill to my skin… What if she never remembers??
Just as quickly as the thought had entered my mind. i shoved it to the darkest corrner of my brain. NO! Life couldnt be that cruel…could it?
entered the emergency room yelling for help.. “ HELP!! HELP ME PLEASE..!!!” At this point Id beg if needed. I was prepared to let these people see a grown man cry. A nurse came running out with a chair.
“Here sir, let me take her..”
The thought of her leaving my arms was painful. I wanted to keep her with me…Looking down at her face i brushed her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead.
“Ill be right out here love…please dont leave me..” i could feel the tears threatening to fall. Why is this happening to us??
I stood there and watched the nursing staff wheel her to the back. Just like it always does..My heart ached the further away from me she got.
end of flashback..
That day they took her in the back and came back a few hours later to tell me, “I”m sorry Mr. Merchant, she’s stable but she’s in a deep coma. With all the trauma her brain has endured. She is shutting down…”
Shutting down…
She is shutting down…
Deep coma..
There was no holding it back anymore.. tears fell freely and I was not ashamed. My heart was laying back there… shutting down..
Looking at the doctor I asked the only thing I could, “What do we do now doc?”
The doctor looked at me with sadness in his eyes.
“ All we can do is wait and see if she pulls through this.”
