Chapter 7:
Vanni awoke the next morning and looked around, through her good eye. She was sore all over and her head was pounding. She remembered the short conversation that Bosco and her had had last night. He kept apologizing to her and saying it was his fault. He had also asked her if she saw who attacked her. This she had answered with a "no". Looking to her right, she saw someone asleep in the chair next to the bed. At first she thought it was Bosco, but looking harder, she saw that it was Ty.
'Oh great. I ran away to relieve him of my troubles and now here he is, waiting for me to wake up.' She sighed heavily. "What am I supposed to say to you?" This time, she was talking out loud.
Ty opened his eyes at the sound of Vanni's voice. She gasped, hoping he didn't hear what she said. He moved the chair closer to her bed and smiled at her.
"Hey Vanni...are you ok? I was so scared. How do you feel? I'm so sorry I didn't come looking for you." Vanni rolled her eyes and looked away from Ty.
"I really wish everyone would stop apologizing for things they didn't do. It never does anyone any good. I didn't come back because I didn't want to. Me getting attacked was no one's fault except mine. I was the one who chose to wander the sidewalks of the city in the middle of the night." Vanni tried to hold back tears.
No one understood her. She is the one that lied. She lied to Bosco...Maurice, the one person who had never lied to her. She told him that she just left for some fresh air and that she was planning on calling him and Ty right before she got attacked.
Just then, she looked up from her hands to notice Bosco standing in the doorway of her room.
"Vanni...you left on purpose?"
She couldn't look at him, so she continued to play with her hands.
"Vanni Graziella Boscorelli...you look at me right now and tell me that you didn't leave on purpose. After all that Ty has done for you! Van...if this was done to get my attention...you got it now. You happy?" Vanni still didn't look at him.
"Maurice...please don't yell at me..." Bosco saw the scared look on her face and looked over at Ty. Ty decided that it was time for him to leave Bosco and Vanni to their "family talk" and grabbed his things.
"See ya later Vanni...later Bos." Bosco nodded and sat down in the chair that Ty had just unoccupied. He took Vanni's hand as she started to cry.
"M-Maurice...I left because I didn't want Ty to have to deal with my issues. I need to work this stuff out by myself one day." She looked at Bosco and behind the tears he saw fear.
Just then, the nurse came into the room saying that Vanni would be able to come home the next day; they just wanted to keep her overnight for observation. The nurse told Bosco that he should let Vanni get some rest. He gave her a kiss and a last glance before he walked out the door. Vanni put her hand to her forehead and let out a little growl. She was thinking about everything that had happened in the past days. Pictures of her entering the precinct for the first time, opening the door without a shirt to find Bosco on the other side, and falling off the couch when Ty came home that night...they all flashed in her mind. She started to silently cry. She felt like that was all she'd been doing and wondered how there were any tears even left in her system. Finally, she drifted off into a restless sleep.
The next morning, the nurse walked into the room just as Vanni was waking up. She put her breakfast on the tray and pushed it in front of Vanni. "Here you go sweetie."
Vanni just pushed it away. She couldn't even think about eating right now with what was going on right now.
"Ms. Boscorelli, if you eat your breakfast, the doctor will send you home."
At the sound of home, Vanni immediately started gobbling up her breakfast, making the nurse laugh lightly. When she was done, the nurse removed the tray and left the room. She returned with a clipboard and handed it to Vanni.
"Here, sign this and you can go home when you're ready. The doctor will just come in to double check you." Vanni signed the papers and the nurse left once more.
Minutes later, the doctor came in to look her over.
"Ok Ms. Boscorelli. The nurse will help you get dressed and get your stuff ready."
"Thank you."
"My pleasure." The doctor gave her a smile and left the room.
The nurse helped Vanni to the exit of the hospital. "Is someone coming to get you?"
"No...I live not too far from here. I'll walk."
"Um, are you sure? You got beat up pretty badly."
"No, really. I'm fine. I'll walk."
"Ok then, I'll need you to sign these release forms that you refused assistance home, ok?"
"Ok, fine." Vanni signed yet another couple of pieces of paper and started walking, very slowly, to Ty's apartment. She knew she should've gone to see Bosco first, but Ty's place was closer and she really didn't feel like listening to a lecture from him anyway.
She finally reached Ty's place and opened the door with the key he had given her.
Ty heard the rattling of his doorknob and grabbed his gun from his nightstand. He was just about to go to work and he was pissed off that someone would pick his apartment, of all places, to steal from today. When the door opened, Vanni screamed when she saw the gun aimed at her. She stood there, looking at Ty; Ty stood looking at her. He put the gun onto the kitchen table and ran over to her.
"Vanni!" He gave her a hug, but pulled away when he heard her groan in pain. "I'm sorry."
Vanni groggily responded with an, "it's okay."
She was pale, half from being in the hospital, and half from the surprise of a gun being pointed at her.
"Sorry about the gun. I had no clue you were coming home this early."
"Bosco doesn't know either," Vanni stated plainly as she gingerly sat down on the couch.
"You didn't see him first?"
"Your place is closer Ty." Ty looked down, not knowing what to say. He knew Bosco would be pissed. He figured he would just tell him when he got to work.
"I'll talk to you when I get home later, okay?" Vanni nodded and switched on the TV. Ty left and locked the door. She heaved a sigh and got bored of the TV almost immediately. She went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She could see fine now, but the bruise on her eye was still there to remind her of what happened.
Vanni went to the linen closet and pulled out a towel and got into the shower. Every part of her body ached, but the warm water beating down on her felt soothing. When she was done, she found a pair of Ty's sweatpants and put them on, adjusting the strings to make them tighter. She threw on his NYPD T-shirt on top and went back to the couch to watch TV. Before she knew it, she was asleep.
