Chapter 23: By His Side
Nia walked to the center of the room, where the hospital bed was. All around were machines of some sort, but Nia couldn't care less about them. All that mattered was Rex.
Rex was lying in the bed, and he was unconscious. She could see his chest rising and falling, showing that he was still alive. For now. Nia pulled up a chair beside Rex's bed and sat down. Even now, it was hard to believe that Rex had taken a knife for her. She probably should have been flattered that he had done that for her, but now she was just scared that he would die. From what the doctor said, he probably would die.
Nia took Rex's hand, and then out of the blue, she began to sob. In between sobs, Nia said, "Why did you do it, Rex? You should have just let me die! Do you have any idea what you're gonna put me through if you die?!" Suddenly, Nia realized that she had said if. If. Why? Was she still in denial?
Nia continued to cry. "DAMN IT, REX!" Was all should could say. She clenched his hand harder, unaware of the battle that was currently taking place in Rex's mind.
Hey all! Woof28 again! Sorry if my entries are becoming spaced out. I have another story that I'm working on, and this next story is going to be a long one. However, we are almost done with this one. Due to my planning out, there should be around 5 chapters left (I think). Anyway, I hope you guys are still enjoying. See you next time.
