Chapter 44
"I'm not leaving her!" Vincent yelled outside of Laura's room.
"Vincent. She may be in here for a while. There has to be more tests done on her. You need your rest."
"No! I can't!" he said rushing in angry tears back into the hospital room.
"Mom!" Amy yelled at her mother. She had arrived there only about an hour or so earlier, "Let him stay."
"I just want him to get some sleep."
"Maxine," Kyle pointed out, "Vincent was the one who found her. They're good friends. The way that he's acting right now is part of his own shock and wanting to be there to help her."
"I know," Maxine said, "I probably approached him to harshly. I shouldn't have but it's just he has suffered so much lately with his divorce and now this. I know that this isn't no one's fault but I just can't seem to take more struggle in his life. What has he done to cause this much pain and more importantly now what sick creature would do such a thing like that? Laura is a good person who has been through so much too. I've got to get a coffee. I'll be right back. And let me know anything has happened and Kyle let me know if the police has any more new info."
"Gotcha, Aunt Max," he said.
"Poor, Laura," Amy said, "I can't believe that this happened to her especially with that Pat-."
"Amy, all I can say to do now is hope for the best. The police are right on it and the lab is still doing more tests."
"I also hate to see Vincent go through this," Amy said staring at the window where Vincent could be seen holding Laura's hand and stroking her hair. Part of her head was covered up in bandages.
"You know what I think," Kyle said.
"That he was in love with her," Amy concluded.
"Not only that," Kyle said, "But also that he's still in love with her. I think that he's loved her since the beginning."
Amy gazed up at him and Kyle pointed in the direction of the window where Vincent gently kissed Laura's forehead.
Blinking a few more times, Laura looked up to find Vincent still by her side.
"Vincent…" she managed to get out.
"Laura. You're awake. Are you in pain?"
"I can't- I can't feel anything."
"I'm so sorry…."
Shaking and shivering she said, "Vincent, I'm cold."
"Here, he said adjusting the blankets tightly around d her.
"What happened?'
"Laura…"
"Tell me Vincent." She said, "Please. Just tell me."
"Patrick, he…"
"No…." she said
crying.
"I'm sorry. He left the scene. The police are looking
for him right now . You were hurt so badly." He said breakage down.
"Vincent….I'm scared."
"Shh…I know. They'll get him. I promise," he said sitting beside her as she fell into his arms.
"I'm sorry Vincent."
"It's okay…It's not your fault."
"Hold me…." she whispered.
"I'm here. I won't leave your side. I never will," he said kissing her head. "I promise."
