Chapter 28

oops i posted up without proofreading first- sorry- DUH!!! OK well here it is sorry about any mistakes..

Even though Faith was beside him holding his hand, and even though he was a grown man that should not have this irrational fear of needles, Bosco was still terrified out of his mind.

Maybe it was the pain he knew was imminent, or maybe it had to do with some repressed childhood memory that, at the moment, Bosco was glad he could not remember, but whatever the reason was, he couldn't stop the terrifying feeling of despair running through his body, no matter what he did.

As the doctor approached the table, Bosco kept thinking that he could die if they didn't do the test.

He certainly felt like he was gonna die anyway, the last few days had been hell for him.

"OK I am going to give you a shot to numb the area a little, before we start the procedure, so you may feel a pinch when the needle goes in," the doctor said to Bosco.

Bosco squeezed his eyes shut as tight as they would go and held on to Faith's hand for dear life.

He didn't have much strength, but he sure had enough of something left, because Bosco was gripping Faith's hand so tightly, that her wedding rings were digging into her skin.

As he felt the cold metal tip of the needle touch his skin, Bosco grimaced, waiting for the pain to begin.

It wasn't long, as two seconds later Bosco felt a sharp stabbing, pricking feeling in his spine, like nothing he could have even imagined, as the needle was pushed further and further into him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", Bosco clenched his jaw tightly as he cried out in agony, squeezing Faith's hand tighter and tighter as the needle ripped into him, touching every pain nerve in his weakened body.

"Please... Please ... stop...it hurts, it hurts really bad, "Bosco whimpered as he felt the needle moving around.

'He heard the doctor say that it was just to numb the area so that the actual procedure wouldn't be so bad, but this was bad, worse than any beating or pain Boz had felt before, and he couldn't help but beg them to stop.
