"No Words, No Life"
Soon enough, Todd left and took his place of staying with Kris and entertaining her. "How was Todd's visit?" Junior asked as he lightly kissed Kris hello.
"Oh I just love spending time with him. He has grown up so much," Kris said, looking at the door and smiling broadly.
"You're like the sister he never had," Junior informed her as her smile grew even larger. Kris always loved spending time with Todd and just talking to him casually. Whenever she had a chance to talk to Todd, she would always cease the opportunity.
They sat talking for awhile. When Kris finally decided she was going to ask Junior what they were going to do about their wedding, Junior said, "I am going to get coffee. I will be right back." He stood up and lightly kissed Kris on the forehead. She watched as Junior lifted himself from the bed and walked out the door and Kris sighed heavily.
She was disappointed that she missed her opportunity to discuss their wedding, but she told herself she would ask as soon as Junior walked back through the door. She grabbed the book she had been reading and flipped to the last page she had read. After a minute, she heard someone walk in through her door. Thinking it was Junior, Kris looked up with a smile and said, "You're back soon."
As soon as she saw Mack's hideous face in the doorway, her face dropped and she immediately screamed, "Get the hell out!!"
"Wow, and for a minute I thought you were happy to see me," Mack said.
"Yeah, I was happy when Junior was here. You, I hate seeing you. My stomach folds over and I want to vomit when I see you," Kris yelled out.
"Oh come on, Kris. You know you're happy to see me. You were caring my baby at one point."
"Until you so kindly beat it out of me," Kris informed him coldly.
"Hey, that's all in the past," Mack said as he sat down at the foot of her bed.
Kris was still very weak from her coma therefore she was unable to kick him off. "Mack, I hate you so much! Hence the restraining order. Don't make me get another one!"
"Kris, I just want to-"
She immediately cut him off by screaming, "What the hell do you have to say that I would want to hear?! JUST LEAVE!"
"I came all this way to see you, Kris. I am not going to leave that easily," Mack said harshly as he edged closer.
"GET THE HELL AWAY!" Kris was full out screaming now, hoping someone would rush in and see her. Since her small, weak body was unable to defend this large and demanding man, she was hoping a hero would come in and rescue her.
"Keep your voice down bitch!" Mack yelled back. He never liked being pushed away by any woman, and he wasn't about to let his ex-wife get away with that.
Suddenly Mack seized forward and was straddling Kris. Her arms flew forward in an attempt to punch Mack. Then Mack cupped both hands over Kris' nose and mouth and pressed down with all his strength, turning her face red to purple to white.
She attempted to wale her legs and arms to get him off, but he was too strong and her body was too weak. Eventually her body could no longer take any more stress and pain and she went limp.
Suddenly a doctor and two nurses rushed in the room after hearing loud voices. One nurse yelled down the hall for as much help as possible while the other large nurse pulled an outraged Mack off of the limp and unconscious body. The doctor immediately began working on his patient to revive her.
Many more doctors rushed into the room with a crash cart and they pulled out the paddles to revive her failed heart.
Turning the corner in the hallway toward Kris' room, Junior saw a commotion of people yelling medical terms and running in and out of a room. As he approached farther down the hall to ease his curiosity, he realized the commotion was in Kris' room and his heart nearly stopped.
He dropped his coffee cup, making its contents splash everywhere in the corridor. He ran full speed down the hall and he turned into the room only to see countless doctors and nurses trying to bring a lifeless girl back to life. In the corner was a large nurse pinning Mack to the wall. With no time to think, Junior ran at Mack screaming, "You did this! You did this to her!"
Before he got to where Mack and the nurse were, a tall doctor grabbed Junior's arm as another doctor yelled, "Get those two out of here!" referring to Junior and Mack.
Being led out of the room, Junior heard a different doctor say, "Prepare the ER. Immediately!" Still not thinking straight, Junior attempted to turn back into the room and save Kris himself.
A familiar nurse came to Junior and said, "Junior, honey, calm down. We will take care of her."
"Take care of her! Look at her! KRIS!" Junior screamed, incoherent to his own words.
He then felt two warm arms around him as he wept. The familiar nurse, whose name was Roxanne, pulled Junior into a somewhat comforting hug.
As he pulled out of her grasp, Junior saw eight doctor and nurses running out of the room and down the hall, pushing a bed on wheels with a still lifeless Kris. Junior knew that there was nothing he could do but have faith in the doctors and then his legs collapsed from beneath him and he fell to the floor. Everything happened so fast. Why did he have to get coffee? "This is all my fault! I never should have left her alone!" he shouted.
Roxanne knelt down beside Junior and said, "There is nothing you can do about it now, son. The only thing you can do is pray that your love will bring Kris back to you." She slid one arm around Junior's shoulder. He knew she was right. Then he heard Roxanne say, "Give me Jean's number. I'll call her and tell her what is going on. It'll be easier on you."
Roxanne had been on Kris' case since the first day she was admitted into the hospital. She had been a big help to why Junior never completely lost his mind while Kris was in her coma. In those close to three months that Kris had been in the hospital, Roxanne could tell that Junior loved Kris with all his heart and nothing could change that. She say how he stayed by her side and never took any time to himself while Kris was in her coma and Roxanne was proud to know such a kind and noble man. She just hoped that someday she could find a man who love her as much as Junior loved Kris.
As Junior sat on the ground in the hallway, he peered into Kris' room and hoped he imagined everything that occurred in the last ten minutes. But he knew he didn't. Instead he saw an empty room with an abandoned crash cart left in the middle of the floor. Would he be able to endure the pain all over again?
A/N: I know that she got hurt again, and most of you are probably screaming at the computer screen for me doing this once again. But I promise it's still a Krunior and there will be a wedding. So just be patient with me. Review anyway (and yell at me for hurting her again if you'd like)
