Chapter 6
The hospital lights were off. Gia laid in the bed staring out the window. It was an unusual gloomy August day. The weather seemed to match her mood and mind; all foggy and dark. The doctors had kept her awake for a few hours before letting her fall asleep, with the aid of Demerol.
Now she lay awake, fighting off the pain rather than having to deal with the re-clouding of her mind. She wished she hadn't have ran to Leon. When she was better, he would never let her live it down. Hell, Gia wouldn't let herself live it down.
She laid her head back, a dull throb penetrated her head. A name went through her head. Tran. Tran. Hadn't she dated a Tran? No, it couldn't have been him. Word was that he was dead.
Good kisser though. Rather sad to see him gone.
She closed her eyes and sighed. At least her attacker didn't decide to take her body first.
"Oh Gia." Mia cried, running to the bedside.
"I'm fine Mia, really. Just need to rest." Dom, Jess, Letty and Vince walked into the room. Leon stood in the doorway.
"How are they treating you in here?" Dom asked, placing a vase of yellow rose on the table.
"I don't know. I've been sleep most of the time." She turned to Leon and tried to smile.
"Hey."
"Hey." He replied.
Jesse turned and laughed. "Why are you standing in the doorway like a child scared he might hurt his friend? You should be use to hospitals, what with three of us having been in one at once."
Leon pushed off the door with his shoulders and stood by the bed.
"So." He said, his eyes darting to her hand.
"So?" Gia laughed. The rest of the crew left the room.
She slipped her hand through his.
"Are you scared?" Gia asked.
"Hell yes."
"Why?"
"Cuase, I didn't need you dying in my car."
"I said are you, not were you." She squeezed his hand briefly.
Leon sighed.
"Yeah, I was scared. Still am scared."
"Why?" She really wanted to know.
"I don't know."
She winced as a sharp pain throbbed at her temples.
"What's wrong?" Leon asked. "Are you okay?"
