I know this isnt my best chapter. Frankly, I find this chapter quite pathetic but I said I'll have the next and final chapter out by today - my time - by yesterday but here it is.
Detective Donald Flack sat in the uncomfortable hospital chair beside Reanna Louise who lay in a stable but comatose condition on the hospital bed. "I'm sorry," he whispered into her hand as he held it so close to his quivering lips.
"I'm not sure if Miss Louise is lucky or not but the bullet just missed her heart. She's currently stable but the clot near her heart could burst any moment, I'm sorry for your loss Detective Flack but the child didn't make it."
"How long?" his voice cracked without him even knowing this.
"Miss Louise was 6 months pregnant," it was his, all along.
The doctor's words rang through his head as he closed his eyes, his memories taking him just hours before the kidnap. Donald Flack had never cared for someone of the opposite gender so much, never felt like a place in his heart was missing when he didn't see her face, never had he fallen in love.
Te Amo,Te Amo
she says to me
I hear the pain in her voice..
and we danced underneath the candelabra
"I love you, I love you," she says to him as they held each other in the dark room of his apartment. She sounded so pained, she sounded so desperate to show him that she loved him, that he was the only one for her. "I love you so much," she whispered into his chest.
she takes the lead
that's when I saw it in her eyes it's over
Then she says te amo
then she put her hand around me waist
"What's wrong?" he asked her, holding her face in his hands. "Tell me what's wrong," but she sobbed. Her cries choked at the back of her throat. Don frowned slowly placing Reanna and himself onto his bed. "Baby? Tell me what's wrong,"
She stared up at him with those teary doe eyes just whispering those words over and over again until Don shook her. She gasped and looked away from him, as though she was ashamed. "Baby?" Reanna inhaled shakily. She stared up at him and kissed the corner of his lips.
I told her no,
She cries Te amo
i told her im not gonna run away
but let me go
Don choked back his cries. "I love you, I love you," he whispered to her ear. "Please wake up," his tears fell upon her pale cheeks. Don wiped them away, slowly stroking the soft skin beneath his fingertips. "I love you Reanna Louise,"
Don regretted never saying those words earlier to her, he regretted acting the way he had acted that evening.
My soul is crying,
without asking why
I said te amo,
would somebody tell me what she said?
A while later, as Reanna had stopped crying and lay asleep on the couch as Don stood in the shower, with his head resting against the tiles, he felt calm and relaxed as the hot water rushed down his back and disappeared down the drain.
Turning the faucets off and grabbing the towel and wrapping it around his waist. He stared at his reflection in the mirror after wiping away the fog away. He sighed and traced the scars on his body with his eyes, remembering how they got there.
Dont it mean I love you
Think it means I love you
Dont it mean I love you
Looking down, Don looked into the waste bin, seeing paper towels thrown in as though to hide something. His eyes widened and he gasped "Pregnant?" Don's mind ran a while a minute. Reanna's pregnant? Why didn't she tell me? He thought quickly. Is it mine?
Don walked out to the lounge room after quickly dressing in track pants. He finds Reanna awake and sitting upright staring blankly at the television screen that wasn't on. "Baby?" Reanna turned around to stare at him and her eyes widened as she gasped seeing the stick he held in her hand. "What's this?"
"I-I-I can explain," she stuttered as she stood up quickly and stood in front of Don who was unsure at what he felt. Anger? Betrayal? Happiness? Joy? "I didn't know how to tell you Don..."
Don scoffed and threw the pregnancy test away, "Why didn't you just say it outright?" Reanna made a noise in the back of her throat. "It's not mine, is it?" Reanna burst into tears. Don wasn't sure if it was because the baby wasn't his or it was because he had such thoughts.
Te amo, Te amo,
shes scared to breathe
I hold her hand, i got no choice uhh
Pull me out on the beach, danced in the water,
I start to leave
Shes begging me and asking why its over
"I need to think right now," Don said as he walked towards the door. He could hear Reanna crying behind him. Everything in his body wanted to him to turn around and hold her in his arms as she cried but he couldn't. He just needed to get away and think. So Don, walked away from the woman of his life.
Reanna hugged herself as the tears fell down her cheek. Her heart broke as she watched him walk out of the apartment like that. "I love you," she whispered to herself as her arms wrapped around her body tighter but she knew it was too late for her excuses. He doesn't know she thought he doesn't know about the past because I've always refused to talk about it. This is my fault. She thought to herself sadly.
Then she says te amo
then she put her hand around me waist
I told her no,
She cries Te amo
I told her im not gonna run away,
Don knew he shouldn't have left her like that. He had left her feeling vulnerable and alone. She was alone for danger and for that bastard to take her like that.
Don came back to the apartment, the door wide open. He reached to the back of his pants but found no gun. Dammit, I left in a hurry in my pyjamas. He cursed to himself as he grabbed a wooden plank nearby. Every muscle armed itself for any violent attacks. Reanna he thought about.
but let me go
My soul is crying,
without asking why
I said te amo,
would somebody tell me what she said?
Don's heart clenched as he stared at his apartment, the couch overturned, papers and glass scattered randomly around his floor. "Reanna!" he shouted but there was no reply. "No...God no!" he groaned to himself. If I hadn't had left... he thought to himself. It was his fault leaving her like that. He should have known better that his Reanna wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
But he didn't believe the rational side, he, instead, just left.
Dont it mean I love you
Think it means I love you
Dont it mean I love you
Listen we can dance,
but you gotta watch your hands
Don couldn't remember dialling Mac Taylor's number but he had, as just moments later, the team had appeared at his front door with their kits in hand and a serious look on their face. And then as the team worked the crime scene, he had gotten that bastard's phone call.
Don's phone vibrated in his pocket. "Flack," he barked into the phone hating the idea that he was disturbed. "Yeah, I'll be there,"
watch me all night, im movin' to the night because I understand
that we all need love
and i'm not afraid
to feel the love but i don't feel that way
Exactly three hours later, the constant beeping of the heart monitor connected to Reanna rang alarms out into the nurse office. "I need doctors in room 342!" the nurse nearby shouted out to her peers. The professionals ran towards the room.
"Come on Reanna," muttered her doctor he readied her for the electrocardiography. "Clear," he spoke clear and loud. "Come on," Reanna's body bounced up as she was shocked to keep her heart from moving, keeping her alive. "Again," another shock ran through her body.
The sound of her heart beating from the machine, relaxed the nurses and doctor. "Heart rate lower than normal, she's stable but doctor...she might not make it overnight." The doctor nodded wiping a line of sweat across his forehead.
Then she says te amo
then she put her hand around me waist
I told her no
She cries te amo
Don returned to the hospital, tired and a little scratched up but when he saw the nurses and doctor leaving Reanna's room, the tiredness washed away from his body and he was nervous. "Doctor!" he caught the doctor just as he was leaving her room. "What happened?"
The doctor closed the door quietly and gestured Don to walk a little away from her room. "Miss Louise, is currently stable. She crashed a few minutes ago but we got her heart back" Don was relieved. "However, her heart is weak and it would be a miracle for Miss Louise to last the night," the doctor patted Don's shoulder and walked away.
Don stared pass the blinds of Reanna's room, his eyes watery as the news hit him heavily. "..it would be a miracle for Miss Louise to last the night," Don wiped the tears that rolled down his cheek and sniffed before he took enough courage to step into Reanna's room.
I told her im not gonna run away but let mego
My soul is crying,
without asking why
I said te amo,
would somebody tell me what she said?
Don smiled weakly at Reanna as she sat upright on the hospital bed looking like she was on death bed but she wasn't, right? He said to himself, determined that she wasn't going to leave him like this. "Hey baby," he whispered for her to see as he rushed to her side clasping her hand in his again.
"Don..." her voice was hoarse and croaky. He felt his throat tighten and his eyes watery again. "I love you baby...I'm so sorry I didn't tell you...about our baby," she confessed starting to cry again. Don hushed her, placing a finger to her lips and feeling how cold she felt.
"It's ok baby." But she shook her head and a cough racked her body, her breathing became hard and the heart machine began beeping before it calmed again. "It's ok now, everything will be alright," Reanna smiled at Don weakly and shook her head. He kissed her palm and smiled back at her to reassure her.
"No...I know it's my time but Don...I didn't tell you...because of my past..." another cough made her body shake and Don whimpered watching how closer to death she was getting to, "I was once pregnant but he left me and...I was afraid..." tears fell from her eyes as she sniffed. "afraid you'll leave me,"
Don shook his head and kissed her hand repeatedly. "I would never, I love you Reanna," she smiled weakly, "I don't care about that anymore just get better," Reanna smiled at him and nodded although she knew she couldn't get better.
She tore off the oxygen mask that helped her breath and leaned closer to Don. Her cold lips pressed against his cheek made him shiver. How I'll miss this. Don thought to himself. She smiled as she moved back and that smile. Don kissed her cold lips and watched as her eyes closed in content.
Don't it mean I love you
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you
"I love you Donald Flack Junior," she whispered as she lay back down on her bed. He sobbed and the tears fell.
"I love you too Reanna Louise,"
Think it means i love you,
Te Amo
Don stood in front of her grave. Here lies Reanna Louise, beloved sister, friend and girlfriend. Don read off the tombstone. In his hand he held her favourite flower, red roses. Don knelt down and placed he bouquet on her grave.
"I miss you Reanna," he spoke to her like she was there listening to him, "I can feel you all the time, just there, watching over me, keeping me alive and well," there was a smile at the corner of his lips. "I'll never forget you...I love you Reanna Louise-Flack,"
Te Amo
Don't It means I Love You...
