Ascetic
Chapter 4:
I woke up the morning after my operation feeling like hell. I could feel pain in my left arm... I went to hold it, but it was gone. I jumped up looking at where my arm had once been. The doctor had been telling the truth, he really had cut off my arm.
I looked over to the side of the bed that the doctor let me stay in. Race was lying there, still asleep. I started to reach towards him with my remains of my left arm before stopping myself and stretching out my right hand to play with his hair.
After about five minutes later Race woke up with bags under his eyes. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
I smiled at him before removing my arm, "I'm feeling great, just kinda lopsided... How are you feeling? I mean you look like I feel."
Race smiled as he stood up and kissed my forehead. "I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep until I knew that you are alright."
My smile disappeared as I looked over to him again. "So, I guess this means that I'm going to have to tell my boys something..."
Race patted my head, "I don't know Spot. Your boys are from Brooklyn, they might not notice that you have lost your arm."
I glared at him as he stepped back, "That's not fair, Race. You're on my left arm so I can't even hit you!"
I stood up as I started to walk over to him. "I think I need to go sell my papes. I haven't done it for a while. And the people of Brooklyn will be missing me."
Race laughed as he rushed over to help me walk. "Sit down, and I'll go as the Doc if you can leave yet."
He started to walk away when I pulled him back. "I love you, Higgins." I pushed my lips up to his hungrily. He quickly started to kiss me back. Our hands started to roam all over. But then Race stopped.
"I need to go talk to the doc, Spot. I'll be back in a few minutes, please just sit down." Race said as he moved some hair out of my face. "And, I love you too."
He kissed me quickly as he ran out of the door.
I slowly started to walk over to the chair that Race had been sitting in earlier. I sat down staring at my stump of an arm. "I guess that it's never really going to be the same again..." I said quietly.
I was still staring when Race and the doctor walked in.
The doctor walked over to me, "So, Anthony here says that you says that you want to go home."
I nodded as I looked at Race again, "Yes sir, I need to sell some papers."
He laughed, "You know the Father paid for your surgery, he said that he couldn't stand to see such a bright soul as Anthony's be so dull."
I nodded, having no clue what the hell he was talking about.
Race looked over to the doctor, "So, can Alan leave yet?"
The doctor smiled, "I don't think I could force him to stay. But you keep an eye on him, Mr. Higgins. I don't want to remove anymore limbs."
I glared as Race smiled, "Yes sir. I'll do that sir."
The doctor smiled again at Race then at me, "Now hurry and get out of my face. AND I don't want to see either of you again."
We both nodded, "Yes sir."
We hurried out of the doctor's office smiling. My life was good again. I smiled as I grabbed Race's hand and we started to head towards Brooklyn, my home.
Shout-Outs!
Liams Kitten- I know that it was really mean for me to make Spotty lose his arm, but it was kinda either that or kill him off... and I figured that you would be mad at me if I were to kill him... So I let him live without an arm instead. I don't think I've thought of how Spot is going to sell him papes now... Maybe he'll just have Racey hold them for him and act like each of his papes is the last one... ::pictures Spot doing Les's line to Medda and laughs:: Well, I hope that I may have saved the cow again, for good this time. I love to read your reviews, they always make me crack up.
Eagle Higgins-Conlon- hehe, Gory always is good isn't it? Well, I'm so happy that you liked it. New reviewers make me happy. Well, thanks for the review.
SpecsGlasses- You love my story? YAY! And you updated! Even bigger YAY! Well, I'm sorry that I made Spot make you cry. But look on the bright side, at least it doesn't make you laugh (because that would be kinda screwed up). Well, now onto the last shout-out then the last chapter.
Braids21- Well, I hope "AW! i" means that you like it. Well thanks for the review.
