Chapter 12
John laid back on the bed...His cell phone against his ear as he stared at the ceiling. He could feel tears threatening to swell in his eyes. He blinked and could feel the tears fall.
Randy heard nothing but silence and then he heard John sniffle. Randy said, "John...Man you ok?" John cleaned his mind and stared at the ceiling and said, "What the hell happened? I was just there."
Randy said, "Apparently she'd been having abdominal pains...and was just ignoring them...She started bleeding badly, once she got to the hospital and found out she had an Ectopic pregnancy, it's where the fetus doesn't finish going down and gets trapped in the fallopian tube..."
Randy sighed and said, "By the time Kira dropped from the pain...It was too late...Her fallopian tube literally exploded and she had to go in for reconstructive surgery. The doctor said the pain had to be excruciating...but she apparently has a high tolerance for pain. Lisa and I found her bleeding in her office at the arena."
John sat up and started pacing around his room and said, "There's no way I can get back to be with her...Jesus I was so fuckin mean to her. I want to talk with Lisa right now." Randy said, "Okay man." Randy handed the phone to Lisa and she said, "What's up honey?" John said, "I know you talk to Kira...you tell me right now...Tell me everything I don't know..."
Lisa said, "John, It's not my place to tell you anything."
John said, "THE HELL IT ISN'T LISA! I know there's something that Kira's not telling me...I want to know what the FUCK is going on, RIGHT NOW! She looked too guilty the day I left, she looked even guiltier when I came back and questioned her about the baby...I said hateful things to her...She didn't even fight back...She just took it...and you know that's not like her...She doesn't take shit from me."
Lisa said, "John calm down...First off, it's not my place to tell you anything and second Kira wants to tell you herself, but she wants to wait until you're face to face with her, not over the phone or in some cheesy e-mail."
John said, "Then you do know...You know something isn't right...Please Lisa...Please tell me. I know it has something to do with the pregnancy and the night before I left is so fuzzy in my head...I don't remember passing out...I don't remember anything...I was so wasted."
Lisa could hear the panic in John's voice and said, "John everyone was wasted..." John said, "No, I know I was but, I had a dream that felt like it was too real...I dreamt I made love to Kira...But when I woke up she was gone...She told me I passed out and she had one of the guys take me back to my room...When I woke up the next morning I was completely naked...I don't sleep naked...The dream had to of been real."
Lisa said, "JOHN!" John stopped babbling and calmed himself and said, "What?"
Lisa said, "Will you please just calm down...I'm not going to tell you anything, because I promised Kira...She wants to tell you herself...She's got a lot of information for you...but if you're going to get like this with her when you're back, you won't get anything from her. She had a hard time coming to grips with the pregnancy that she didn't expect...And now she's going to have an even harder time because of losing the baby, she'd finally decided she wanted in her life."
John breathed a little and said, "2 months...It's gonna be the worse two months of my life. Lisa take care of her for me please...She's my best friend...I don't know what I'd do without her in my life." Lisa said, "John, I won't let her out of my sit once she leaves this hospital...I swear on my life." John mumbled something as he hung up the phone.
John got in the shower trying to process everything he'd heard on the phone...He was mad at himself for getting so drunk he couldn't remember anything...It wasn't like him to ever get that drunk...But that night he needed it, he hated the thought of leaving Kira for 4 months...The dream had felt so real...I guess there are some dreams that you want to come true so bad they can't help but feel real.
John was NOW aware of the fact that Kira almost died. John hit the wall in the shower and couldn't help but cry...He cried so hard...he'd never cried a day in his life and when he was suddenly conscious to the fact that the love of his life could be dead before he had a chance to spill his heart to her.
