Put the gun down Noah.
Noah: you're coming with me
I notice Carlos moving towards him.
I will never go with you. I don't love you.
Noah: but you will with time.
No never. Now give me the gun.
Noah: I can't do that……………………….
Before he can finish Carlos grabs the gun. Noah hits him and the gun goes rolling on the floor. While he and Carlos struggle I grab the gun and aim it at him.
Back away from him Noah.
Noah: you won't shoot me.
Don't tempt me Noah.
Carlos knocks Noah out then comes over to me and takes me in his arms. I wrap my arms around him
Are you ok?
Carlos: I'll be fine. How about you?
I'm ok. He didn't hurt me. What happened?
Carlos: I came back here after the wedding. When I walked in I was jumped from behind and knocked out. We should call the cops.
I reluctantly leave his arms and let him call.
Carlos: they'll be here shortly.
Ok
I look at the cut above his eye.
I think that'll need stitches.
Carlos: I'll survive.
Don't argue with me.
Carlos: yes dear.
We hear a knock at the door. He lets the cops in. After we give our statements and they take him into custody they leave.
Okay Mr Sandoval let's go to the hospital.
Carlos: yes Mrs Sandoval.
I take him to the hospital. The nurse walks in and turns to me.
Nurse: unless you are family you will need to leave.
I'm his wife.
Carlos looks at me but doesn't say anything. Once he's all stitched up we head back to our room.
Carlos: can I ask you something?
Anything
Carlos: who was that guy?
His name is Noah
Carlos: how do you know him?
We use to date for a little bit but it, didn't work out so I broke up with him.
Carlos: how did you meet?
Well I was angry at Trent for leaving me with mom and dad, so I left as you know. I moved to Miami and made some friends. I met him threw them. We were friends at first but I thought he was cute so I followed my head and gave in and we started dating.
Carlos: what happened? Why did you leave?
Things changed. Noah changed. One day I came home and found him in bed with one of my friends. That was the last straw for me. I broke up with him and moved to LA where I joined the LAPD. I came home when I heard about mom and dad's accident and the rest you know.
Carlos: I'm glad you came home. I missed you.
Why? Trent was your best friend. You just got me because I was Trent's little sister.
Carlos: that's not true Alison. I care about you.
My heart starts racing.
Carlos: I have another question for you and I want an honest answer. Promise me?
Ok.
Carlos: at the hospital you told the nurse that you are my wife. Why did you do that? I thought know one could know?
I start panicking.
Ok here is another chapter. I am working on the next one and hope to have it soon but will make no guarantees. With the holidays being a week away I am extremely busy. I work in the Post office at our local Drug Store and as you can image it is nuts. Be glad when it dies done.
