Chapter 11:

Oh No They Didn't!

I groaned and tried to rub the sleep from my eyes. Ugh why was I so groggy? I turned my head around and saw that I was hooked up to an IV. I hate IVs. I moved my free hand over trying to rip out the IV.

"Oh no you don't" a young nurse chided me lightly; clucking her tongue in disapproval. "I want it out!" I snapped with such fierce emotion that the nurse was taken aback. "Well you will have to wait for the doctor's approval. Right now it's putting liquid and nutrients into your body."

I hissed in anger and leaned forward so I got right in her face a snarled. "Maybe you didn't understand me I said I want it out! I DEMAND you take it out! I refuse to have something sticking into my skin! Now rip this contraption from my arm so I can get OUT of this death trap!"

The nurse gasped her face turning pale and she stumbled back. I took a deep breath and tried to catch my breath. Ok normally don't act like this. But it was the hospital, I just can't stand them. The sterile, chemical smell of a hospital drove me insane, made it hard to think. I acted like a trapped hurt animal lashing out at anyone who tries to help her.

"P-p-please you can't go anywhere; you have a severe chest wound that must be tended to. The doctors may have patched it up but you are in no condition to go anywhere." I tipped my head to the side than regarded my chest wound thoughtfully.

It was bad but not as bad as it could be. The doctors patched me up alright. The wound wasn't as dirty and it was tapped and bound up nice and tight. You could hardly see the blood. Which was good, I hate looking at my own blood.

I took a deep breath and moaned in pain. Then growled when I saw the smug "see I told you" look on her face. I took a few more breathes. These once smaller and not as deep, just slow breathing, there that didn't cause me as much pain.

I grimaced and told her. "Not so bad I just need some rest. AWAY from this hospital that way I don't have to constantly be worried 'bout needles well I'm restin' up." The nurse shook her head and said. "No you need to rest here and you don't need to worry about the needles no one's going to stick any in you." I pointed to the IV giving her a pointed look.

"I told you that is to give you the nutrients you need well your unable to eat. It is temporary and will be taken out as soon as you start eating something." I groaned and flopped back in the bed. "Then give me something to eat, quick, before I die of starvation!" Now she gave me a look of absolute loathing her patience doweling fast. "No number one you are not starving the IV prevents that. And for another you are not ready to eat something you where shot in the chest. You just got out of extensive care and you are now in recovery. I'm surprised that you have the strength to argue with me!"

I smiled slyly at the nurse and opened my mouth to tell her off again when the door opened. For a heartbeat of a second my heart raced wondering, anticipating for it to be my mysterious passionate kisser.

But my hopes plummeted when I saw who it really was. Than perked back up when I realized who it was. Serna walked through the door and laughed. "Ah that's our Ang, never kept down for long. I knew you'd wake up soon, you might as well let her go nurse you ain't keepin' her for long."

"NO!" She snapped, stomping her foot. "There are protocols that must be fallowed. She is injured and is in no position to be going anywhere!" Then she rounded on Serna "and you! This is the recovery room, no visitors are allowed!"

"Relax Grandma" Serna snapped "I just wanted to give her something." Then she pulled out of her pocket a onyx pentagram on a black chain with sapphire veins. I gasped and my hand flew to neck. No wonder my neck felt so bare.

I outstretched my hand staring at my long time friend pleadingly. She laughed and walked up to me and not only handed me the necklace; but she fastened it on my neck.

This is one of the reasons why I liked Serna. She was such a good caring friend. "Thanks Serna, you're the best." "Mm Hm" she said then said, "they were planning on giving it to your mom and I was like, nah uh, give it here I'll give it to her."

I smiled and patted her on the hand wincing when I felt a pain in my chest so bad I felt like I was burning from the inside out. Man this chest wound hurt. And it didn't help any that I was talking so much, and breathing.

"Ok fine you gave her necklace now get out, she needs rest." Serna shook her head and said. "Wait I'm not done. Oh and you need to leave the room bitch this is a sad private talk I need to have with Angel and you don't have the right to listen in!"

The nurse glared at her but left without a word. I stared at Serna nervously "so what's the matter?" She sighed and sat down next to me. Touching my left knee, "oh sweet heart its bad real bad." I smiled at her and covered her and with mine. "Don't worry Serine whatever it is we'll get through it like we always do."

She smiled sadly and said, I hope so Ang, I sure hope so." "Good so why don't you tell me what's up?" She took another deep breath, like she was preparing herself for a fierce battle. "It's Mike Angel he's in jail, incarceration for a month."

My world exploded than, my head spun, I couldn't breathe. From a far away distance I felt Serna shaking me and calling out, "Angel you ok? ANGEL?" The door burst open and a bunch of doctors and nurses burst in the room.

They all gathered around me, shouting and checking a bunch of machines they had me hooked up to. Finally what they were saying came through to me "She's going into cardiac arrest someone quick I need…give her some more of that oxygen. And you" he said addressing Serna "you need to leave"

"But" she started to protest sounding sad and scared and guilty. "NOW!" Serna started to get up but my hand shot out stopping her retreat. "Serna…wait…don't go…" I gasped. "Angel-""No listen to me Serna how did he get arrested…how?"

She sobbed. "He killed him, the one Hater who shot you, he killed him. Mike thought you were dead and h-he couldn't think through the grief. H-h-he wanted r-r-revenge for you death. He k-killed him and now he's going to jail."

That did it. I was done I couldn't stand this. I got real light headed and passed out.
