OK I am still in conflict over whether or not to continue on-I am sending this little mini chapter out because its all the mojo I could find today- I am going to do some Boz soul searching ;) and then try to give this one the sendoff it deserves with some really good last chapters :)
As Bosco felt the needle slide deeper and deeper into his spine, he silently prayed for the darkness to overtake him, as this could not even get any worse.
He squeezed Faith's hand with all his might as he tried to block out the pain, but it was just too intense.
Every muscle and bone in his body was screaming out for mercy.
He looked at Faith and begged her to make them stop, pleading in a tone that was barely audible, just above a whisper, like a small child crumbling a the hands of a monster.
"Faith....please...make make them stop...it hurts...oh God it hurts so bad" he whispered to her.
"Its all right Bosco, its almost over now, the worst is almost over" Faith said to him in her most comforting tone.
Bosco had a hard time believing her though as the fierce shooting pain that he was feeling in his back was making him dizzy and ready to pass out.
"Owwwww ... please ... nooooo...no more" Bosco moaned as he felt the needle being pulled out of him again.
"OK Officer we are done administering the anesthetic" the doctor announced to Bosco as he finished taking the needle out.
"That should start to work in a few minutes and you wont feel a thing during the procedure."
Bosco just shuddered at the thought of another needle being inserted into his body, whether he could feel it or not.
He was totally exhausted, his body felt like it had been through a damn revolution, with all of the poking and prodding on top of already being really sick.
Bosco closed his eyes.
He sighed.
Maybe he was at least a little relieved that he wouldn't be feeling a thing for this next round.
Faith smiled at him and held his hand.
Bosco looked her in the eyes.
He wanted to speak but the words would not come.
He wanted to thank her for...for being there.
The energy was gone, and Bosco felt his body fall limp, 'I'm sorry Faith I just cant hold on anymore,' he thought as he let the darkness overtake him once again.
