Lena
Everybody has those moments in there life where they realize they made a mistake, most people have plenty. If you are lucky it's mistakes you can easily fix. Normally there is a few mistakes that you can't undo. Just hope you can live with the regret. My mistake, my life changing mistake is probably going to kill me.
I opened my eyes briefly to see a cop kneeling next to me.
"Ma'am are you ok?" he asked and i tried to talk but i can't.
"Let me handle this ok?" A female cop said to her partner and kneeled next to me taking the place of her partner.
"My name is Stephanie Elkin and we have paramedics on the way you are going to be ok" she said her eyes sympathetic. Ive never heard such amazing news in my life. I might not die.
"What's you're name?" she asked taking care of the wound.
"Lena" i said barely above a whisper.
"You're going to be ok, Lena. I promise" she said.
"No sign of forced entry, we didn't catch him" the other cop said into his walkie talkie.
"her" i said as loudly as i can.
"What?" Stephanie said leaning closer to me so she can hear better.
"You didn't catch her" i corrected and she smiled.
"It's ok ma'am we will" she promised then turned to her partner.
"The suspect is a girl, Williams" she said. Williams corrected his original statement. I closed my eyes not able to keep them open anymore.
Stef
I hate when we get there too late. I hate knowing I failed someone like that. The worst part about my job is seeing the scared look on someones face in what could be their last moments. Lena will pull through is what the doctors are saying. Thank god. She apparently went through surgery fine and is now resting.
It's visiting hours the next day and i went into see her. There was an older couple there and i'm going to assume they are her parents.
"I'm sorry to interrupt i just wanted to see how she is doing" I said and they looked up at me.
"Are you officer Elkin?" the man asked and i smiled at him.
"Yes i am" i stated looking at Lena who is asleep.
"You're the cop that saved our daughter?" the woman said tears in her eyes.
"Oh yes i am" i said being caught off guard, it's something about those words that just made me smile. I saved her.
"Thank you" they said simultaneously. It's moments like this that reminds me why i'm a cop. I'm still a rookie, i've only been working as a cop for about six months, and it's hard to keep in mind why i do it sometimes. I've already had a domestic abuse case where a little girl no more than five was beaten by both her mom and dad and she was so scared it broke my heart. She was fine and her grandma came to get her and she is doing good, or so they say. I always have to remind myself that i do this too help people. I'm scared for the first time i lose someone, or anytime i lose someone, i don't know if i will be able to move on.
"Of course just doing my job" i said and he smiled.
"We're her parents… I'm Stuart Adams and this is my wife Dana Adams" he said and i shook their hands.
"Nice too meet you. How is she?" i asked and she gave me a half smile.
"Doctors say she should be fine shortly. She hasn't woke up yet, but she just got out of surgery a few hours ago." she said and i sighed of relief.
"Oh good, i was worried" i said truthfully. I don't know how i can manage to get so emotionally connected to someone in only a few minutes but i did the same with Penelope, the little girl i was telling you about before.
Her parents looked a little shocked by the sincerity of my words.
"Well it means so much to us that you came by and i know it would mean a lot too Lean too" Stuart says. "Not everybody would bother"
"Of course I needed to make sure she is ok" i said smiling at them both. I looked down at Lena. What is it about her that makes it so hard to think about anything else.
Mike
I ran to catch up with her.
"So what's you're problem?" i asked and she rolled her eyes at me.
"Nothing" she snapped randomly and i put my hands up in surrender.
"Ok than surrender whatever i did i'm sorry" i said and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever"
"Wow someone needs to get laid" i joked and she gave me a death glare. Man she's in a bad mood.
"You have my number?" i asked and winked at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Fuck off" she said then walked away slamming the door in my face. Me and Steph have been friends for six years, ever since high school. We have a weird way of joking with each other. It's not unusual for her too flip me off, tell me too fuck off or make an insulting joke but i could tell she was actually pissed. It's very rare she gets pissed at me, like actually pissed, and i don't know what i did to deserve it. I'm used too girls being pissed at me (and me having no idea why) but Steph isn't one of those girls she's pretty straight forward.
"Ok i'm sorry" i said sitting next to her.
"I'm not your bitch, Michael. Don't just apologize when you have know idea what you did" she said and i'm confused.
"I thought thats what you're suppose to do" i said and she laughed rolling her eyes.
"Other girls yes, but not me. Like i said i'm not your bitch" she said smiling evilly.
"Ok so what did i do than" i asked and she rolled her eyes.
"You're hopeless, don't talk too me like that here" she said and i tried to figure out why.
"I told you not too talk too like i'm a girl here" i said and i laughed.
"Oh sorry thats right… you know there's a good chance all it will do is start a transgender rumor right" i warned her. She flipped me off and i just laughed.
Lena
I looked around the room and attempted to make out my surroundings. I'm in a hospital bed and i'm currently alone. I tried to think back on what happened only too have my head hurt worse. I must of hit my head or something. I feel like I've been hit by a train.
Where is everybody? How long have i been out? What happened?
A nurse walked in and smiled at the sight of me awake.
"Hello, Miss Adams. My name is Gina Matthews, i'm your nurse. How are you feeling?" she explained.
"Too be honest not good. What happened to me?" i asked and she smiled at me.
"Do you remember anything?" she asked pulling up a seat next to my bed.
"No!" i said honestly.
"Well ma'am i'm sorry to tell you this but you were stabbed and beaten up pretty badly" she said and i tried to remember but it's a blur. Stabbed? Who stabbed me?
"Stabbed?" i asked and she gave me a reassuring smile.
"Yes ma'am i'm sorry but unfortunately you were. I was told that it was a domestic violence case" she said cautiously. Domestic violence? That has to be a mistake. She loves me, she wouldn't hurt me let alone stab me.
"How long have i been out?" i asked trying to wrap my head around it. Who stabbed me, and why are they saying Alisha did it.
"About 16 hours since you got out from surgery…" she said and i guess from my glare she knew too keep explaining.
"...You soured though it. You have two broken ribs, a concussion, and you were stabbed where you didn't damage any organs." she said as i looked down at the patch on my right side right under my lungs.
"It will take a while to heal but we believe you are going to make a full recovery. Memory loss is normal at this point especially since you also suffered a concussion with time you should remember it again. For now just rest" she said.
"Did someone call my family?" i asked.
"Oh sorry… yes we called your mom and dad. They were in here for visiting hours today, they should be in tomorrow" she said.
Dana
I never trusted Alisha. I knew that Lena loved her but was never fully convinced it was mutual. When i would say something too Lena she would always deny it. Love is blind, i guess. I knew it wasn't mutual the day i saw what she did too her. She might be lighter skinned than me but she's still biracial, so naturally she doesn't bruise easily. It probably went on for months before her skin showed it. Her friend Jenna, who i always trusted and secretly wished they would get together, called me up and told me that she believes Lena was being abused. I came out and she had a cut on her lip from being punched. When i questioned her she made stuff up, i think more to convince herself than me, and i never believed a word. Me and Frank tried so hard to get her out of that relationship but she wouldn't do it. She didn't see what her girlfriend was doing too her, or she choose not to see, she only saw the good stuff. I was scared too death that she was going to seriously hurt Lena. That she wouldn't see it until it's too late, unfortunately i was right.
Hey, my last day of school was today so now starts a lot of free time to write. I haven't been writing as much as i normally do so i'm going to use the summer too write and maybe even go back and bring some stories back from the dead. Maybe, it's a long shot but there's a chance. I promise i will have the next chapter too "Oh Brother" up soon. Thanks too all my loyal fans who stuck with me despite me not really writing. School was almost the death of me. Anyways i hope you like it and thank you for reading.
