Hi guys! So this will be the third chapter of this story. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
"What are you talking about?" I asked trying to hide my teary eyes from him.
"I love you."
"Sam, I'm holding a bomb."
"So am I."
"Sam, you need to go, I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
"I'm not leaving here until you leave here. Besides the bomb squad is like two minutes out and they will be here clearing us out, so I'm staying."
"Sam, I'm afraid."
"I know but I'm here with you and I promise that you will get out of here okay."
We were so focused on each other that we didn't realize that two members of the bomb squad had entered the room. They told Sam that he needed to go in order for them to get me away from the bomb. At first, he argued with them but then gave in realizing that I would be out safely in a matter of minutes.
"Andy, I'll see you in a few minutes and remember I love you."
"Okay." I murmured trying to concentrate on the bomb squad but kind of distracted with the overwhelming emotions going through my head.
"Mam, were going to need you to stay still and not talk while we do this."
As they were trying to get my hand away from the bomb, I heard Sam talk into his radio. He was telling me all of his emotions in his head while I'm pretty sure the whole division could hear him professing how he felt about me and the situation I was in. After they got my hands free they told me that I could leave but to do it in a slow and paced manner. While I was walking to the door the bomb blew up. I fell to the ground and hit my head and then everything went black.
I woke to a beeping noise and opened my eyes. I realized that I was in an ambulance and I could hear yelling but I couldn't remember why. Then I heard him yelling in the background and realized that he was trying to get inside the ambulance but the paramedics wouldn't let him. I couldn't tell why but the worst possible thoughts rang through my mind. Was I too severely injured that no one could get in the way? Or was injured as well and they needed to look at him first. The doors closed and so did my eyes.
When I woke up again at the hospital, Traci was the only one in my room. It was dark and I was hooked up to a couple of machines but I didn't know what my injuries were.
"Andy."
"What happened?"
"The bomb went off as you turned the corner in the hallway. You fell and hit your head pretty hard which caused a severe concussion and massive bleeding in your head. They took you into surgery and now you're awake."
"Where's Sam?"
"He's down the hall, sitting in the waiting room. Frank told him to give you some space but it's been killing him just sitting there not knowing what happened to you."
"Can you go get him for me?"
"Yeah, but first I'm going to have the doctor come in and check you. But Andy why did you do that today? You could have gotten yourself killed."
"I know but I thought I was doing my job. It was a young girl with a long life ahead of her. She needed to live so she could graduate from high school and college and have a happy worry free life."
"Well you did good, but you did something incredibly stupid but brave. I'm glad you're okay."
"I'll be right back."
"Okay, Hey Traci?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks and I'm glad you're here."
"Me too, you're my best friend wouldn't be anywhere else."
"Love you Traci."
"Love you, now I'm going to get your doctor then I'll get Swarek."
With that she left and my heart fluttered because of the realization that Sam would be in my room in a matter of minutes. That gave me hope for the future and also determination to fix this relationship.
