Chapter 1: Hit and Run
The truck that had just hit Ray didn't even slow down. It just kept speeding away leaving the pained Ray in the dust. He felt woozy and noticed he was bleeding. He coughed up a whole bunch of blood as his head sickeningly hit the ground with a loud thud. His cellphone flew out of his hand and fell beside him. Surprisingly the phone still worked. Ray coughed up more blood as he started to fade into unconsiousness the last words he heard were the ones of the message she left. "Hey Ray, Its Neela." He managed to get a smile on his face despite the pain. He loved her voice. The smile lingered on his face as he completely went unconsious coughing up another batch of blood.
Within moments an ambulance had shown up responding to a neighbor's phonecall to 911. The paramedics couldn't recognize his face as they loaded him onto the stretcher. One of the paramedics noticed the phone and grabbed it. As they drove off to county general the paramedic that grabbed the phone didn't even look at the numbers. They just sped off to the Local Clinic.
When they got there they were shocked to see camera crews. "What are you doing here?" The one paramedic asked growling. "Were here to find out the identity of the Hit and Run victim." The paramedic tried to push the reporter away but she groveled. "Just one shot of the victims face so if anybody recognizes him they know where to go." The paramedic nodded and the person started taping what they were saying on live tv.
Back at the wedding after party they were all just drinking when they decided to turn on the tv. Abby flipped it to the news. Everyone groaned but allowed it since it was her wedding. When they saw the news they all watched intently. It was being shot outside of a local clinic.
"Hello this is Alexandra Carlin and I'm here infront of The local Clinic. We have just been informed that a hit and run took place on Rogers Street only about 20 minutes ago. They cannot recognize who has been hit or what car did it but this patient could be fatal. We are going to show you a bit of his face so if you recognize him you can come to the clinic or phone us. Everyone whos squimish please turn away for about 3 minutes thank you."
The shot showed Ray. Even with blood all over his face they could tell it was him. They all gave a gasp. All the sudden Neela came out of the bathroom. "Whats wrong everyone?" She asked all the sudden her gaze turned to the tv and she saw Ray and heard the reporters voice while she watched silently for a moment. "This man is at the local Clinic. His condition could be fatal so I'd recommend any family to get to the hospital now." Neela kept watching before it kicked in.
"Oh my god... Ray!" She said as she didn't even grab her jacket she ran out of the building and headed straight for the clinic. Abby looked out the door and she yelled. "Neela." She ran out of the building aswell as she tried to follow Neela. She found Neela 2 blocks away leaning on The Clinics side wall. "Neela." She said as she ran over to her. "I can't go in Abby." Neela said wiping tears away from her eyes. "Why?" Abby asked grabbing Neela's hand. "I can't bare to see him hurt." She said sadly as Abby turned to her with fury.
"You can't bare to see him hurt. You must be kidding me. You hurt him so much Neela... When you choose Tony over Ray that broke his heart so much. Everyone at the hospital could tell it from his eyes that he was walking around feeling like he was dead. That he was walking around wishing he was dead. Everyone could tell that he had a completely broken heart. Every since you choose Tony over him he's been changed Neela. Everyone knows that he would rather die then lose you. Also everybody can tell that you love him. Gosh both of you belong together and neither of you notice it." With every word Neela got more hurt. "I have to see him." She said dragging Abby into the clinic.
"Hi... I know who the hit and run victim is." Neela says to the head of secretaries. "He is Ray Barnett." She says and the secretary nods. "Can I see him?" Neela asks and the secretary shrugs. "Whats your relationship with him?" Abby was about to tell her that they were colleages when Neela spoke up knowing the only way to get in. "Im his wife." Abby looked at her and immediatly got it. Abby slipped her wedding ring off of her finger and passed it to Neela who slipped it onto her own finger. Neela held up her hand. "Now can I see my husband?" She asked.
