You guys never thought I'd continue this story, huh ? Let's just say I had
MAJOR writers block, and I didn't even know what I wanted to happen in the
story. Plus, over the summer, I lost my beta (cause we didn't have school),
and I was not motivated to write because I was not getting my weekly dose
of F/B. I've recently gotten the itch to finish this story, and my good
friend and possible new beta read it and thought it was good (or so she
says), so I thought I'd finish it. I'm planning on ending this at chapter
9, and I already have chapters 7 and a good part of 8 written. Plus, sorry
if it's so short, but that felt like a good place to end it.
Here goes, and a special thanks to Jen !!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 6
~~~~~~~~~~ Bosco slowly approached Faith's motionless body and saw a small puddle of blood getting bigger and bigger.
'' This is 55 David. I need a bus on a rush at 2143 West Larkin street. I have an officer and a shooter shot. I repeat, officer down !'' He frantically said over his radio. He immediately rushed to her side and started to remove her blouse and vest.
''Oh Faith, no please'' He repeated over and over again. He took her blouse and balled it up and started putting pressure on the wound, to try to minimize the bleeding. He looked down and saw her hand moving slightly.
'' Faith, Faith, it's me, wake up, please.'' She briefly opened her eyes and struggled to focus on Bosco.
'' Bosco ?'' She weakly whispered
'' Yeah, Faith, it's me. Stay with me, please.''
'' Wh-''
'' Don't try to talk, Faith, just stay with me.'' What that, she fell back into darkness
'' Faith ? Faith ? Damn it !'' He said, while checking for a pulse. He could feel one, a very weak one, but it was better than nothing. He then proceeded to put his ear over her mouth and realized that she was no longer breathing. He turned around to see the clerk standing there shell-shocked.
'' Hey, you, come here, now !''
'' What, I didn't do anything''
'' Just get over here now ! Ok, you're gonna put pressure on the wound like this.'' Bosco motioned to the clerk, as he started CPR and did it for what felt like an eternity, but was really just for a few minutes, until the paramedics arrived.
Doc and Carlos rushed to Faith's side and told Bosco to give them room to work. Seconds later, Kim and Alex were working on the shooter and pronounced his death. They got Bosco away from Faith and took him outside, then it all happened in a whirlwind. The police arrived, questioned him, he was asked whether he wanted to ride in the bus with Faith, which he of course accepted. ~~~~~~~~~~~
It was so stupid. I have been trained to handle tough situations my whole career, and now, because my mind was elsewhere, and I wanted to prove something, I go in by myself, without any backup, thinking I can handle it. Probably trying to make up for not being able to handle my own personal life. I'm getting ready to shoot the bastard standing in front of me, but I hear a shot first, and feel a stabbing pain pierce through me. But that is nothing compared to the pain I feel when I see Bosco's face when he sees and realizes what's just happened. I falter to the ground, and momentarily black out. I wake up, very confused about what has just taken place. I take in Bosco's terrified face as he urges me to stay awake. I whisper his name and try to tell him something, but he tells me to not talk. I now know I need to wake up once more to tell him what I need to tell him and what he needs to hear. But now, I'm tired, so I close my eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had been sitting in the waiting room of the OR for a few hours, without any news whatsoever. Familiar faces from the NYPD and FDNY had come and gone, and he was now alone. Alone to think about the fact that he didn't have the guts to tell Charlie and Emily, since he was barely able to grasp everything himself, he couldn't imagine the effect this would have on them. He still had a few hours to figure out how to approach the subject before they started getting suspicious about their mother's whereabouts. He kept flashing back to the kiss, the fight, the shooting, the blood, and the ambulance ride over to the hospital. She had briefly regained consciousness, but he was so shocked he had barely noticed when she had squeezed his hands. Seconds later, monitors were beeping and Carlos had to shock her back to life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The surgeon who was operating on Faith was now standing next to Bosco and made him snap out of his thoughts. He immediately stood up and looked at the doctor apprehensively. He could not read his expression, which made him even more freaked out.
