Chapter 20: Paying a visit
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI stepped into the elevator and pressed the floor two button. I waited silently until I felt a shifting bump and the door slid open. I stepped out into the hall and looked around. A sign down the hall read 'Eastern wing'. I followed the sign until I was in the lobby of the trauma ward. I stepped up to desk.
"When could it be possible to see a Mr. Hernandez?" I asked the woman at the desk.
"Let's see," She said checking the a list. "There is a Jeremy Hernandez in surgery for a 'Bullet removal'. The waiting room is down the left hallway then take a right. A Mr.Salada is waiting for him there as well."
"Thank you." I said as I walked down the hall and took the right.
I could see Justin sitting in the room in one of the uncomfortable chairs. He held his head in his hands. I walked in and he looked up.
"Hey."
"Hey." Replied sitting down next to him. "They call his mom yet?"
"No, not yet. You want to?" He asked.
"Fuck that. You two felt like being dumb-asses and wanted to be gangsters. You do it."
He let out a breath and looked to me. "Listen, I...I'm sorry we got you into shit. I probably should of just dropped it. Now Jeremy S'all fucked up and shit."
"Ease up man, damn. He took a round to the shoulder, it ain't that bad." I said leaning back. "At least it was only a pistol bullet, if it was a rifle then he might be missing that arm."
"I'll tell his mom." He said pulling out his phone.
I got up and walked over to the door.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"You really have to ask?"
He hung his head down a bit the looked up and nodded. With that I walked out into the hall. I looked around to see another nurse.
I walked up to him. "Where would I go for someone in coming out of shock?"
"Uh, let me think. Trauma, north." She answered.
"Thanks."
I made it to the wing and looked for a doctor. I noticed one near the door. "Is there a Twilight around here?"
"A who?" He asked.
I thought about it. "Uh, about five ten, long dark hair with highlights, real light skin. Anything?"
"Two-twenty-one."
I nodded and walked over to the door. A nurse stepped out. "Twilight?" I asked pointing toward the door.
"Um," He looked down at his clipboard. "We haven't gotten a name out of her. Though she's been asking for someone. A," He looked over the board. "James."
"So she's up?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks." I said as I walked through the door. I stood by the doorway and looked at her. She lied there in the bed, her eyes closed. I grabbed a chair by the window and brought it over to the bedside. I sat down and looked down at her. I slumped forward a bit and took a deep breath. "Twilight?"
I heard a faint groan and she turned her head. Her eyes were open she looked at me with her beautiful violet eyes.
"Listen. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all this and I'm sorry for all that I've put you through. If your upset I understand and If you don't want to talk to my I don't mind. Just please don't hate me."
"Come here." She said.
I leaned in close to her. A strong slap planted itself across my face. My cheek stung and I shut my eyes. "That was irresponsible and immature of you." What came next surprised me. I felt her kiss my cheek where she had just slapped me. "I don't know if anyone else here would do me enough to save me twice. And if they would, I'd rather have someone like you."
"Somepony." I smiled.
She shared in the smile and I placed my hand by hers. She took it and I felt like nothing else. Happy.
