When I woke up I was dazed and confused, I started to cough and I realised
that there was immediately I started to cough and I had so much trouble
swallowing. I quickly realised that there was a tube down my throat. My
first reaction was to try and pull it out. I must have been loud because
Dr. Fields rushed over and helped me get the tube out. I began to cough
worse but it helped when he passed me a cup of water.
"You are very lucky Alex your friend told us what happened and under the
circumstances you have come out quite well. You inhaled a bit of smoke but
there's nothing that we can do about that now. You did dislocate your
shoulder but we've fixed that up for you. You have to take it easy for the
next few days but you can return to light duty in about 4 days. You may
have a slight concussion so stay awake and alert for the next 24 hours."
"When can I go home?"
"We can discharge you tonight as long as you promise to go and see a doctor
if you get any symptoms related to a concussion, I assume that you know
what they are?"
"Yeah, I know the symptoms. So can I leave now?"
"Yup, I'll send the forms over in a minute."
Over at the firehouse I walked over to Lt. Johnston to ask about Alex. "Hey Lou, any word on Alex yet?" I asked rather anxious. "I'm fine Jimmy," A voice said behind me. I spun round and in front of me was Alex. "Alex, what are you doing here?" I asked "I was told to stay awake and alert for the next 24 hours so I thought I'd come say hi." "Well, how are you?" "Dislocated shoulder, smoke inhalation and possible concussion." "So you'll be fine" "Yeah, I'll be back at work soon" "Lou, I'm allowed back at work in about 4 days on light duty" "Okay Alex, take care" Lt. Johnston said as he patted her on her good shoulder and walked towards his office. "Is it okay to hang round here for a bit, I'm meeting someone later" "Yeah, corse it is" I told her. "Thanks Jimmy." Alex said as she headed towards the couch were a few fire fighters were sitting.
I have no idea of how she is, no idea of where she is. I must be the best boyfriend ever. I knew that she had been taken to the hospital but no one had asked about how she was. After thinking about this for about an hour I decided, stuff it I'm going to the firehouse to ask and I don't care who find out about us.
I turned to my partner and told tem that I would be back in a minute. "Where are you going Bosco?" Faith asked "I'm going to see someone!"
I reached the top of the stairs and was thinking about who to ask until I heard my name called. I turned left and there was Alex, she looked bad, her arm in a sling and a big bruise forming on her cheek. "Alex, I was worried about you. How are you?" "I'm fine Bosco, I dislocated my shoulder and I might have a concussion, but ill be fine," She told me "I thought you didn't want people to know about us?" She asked me. "I changed my mind, I don't care any more." I told her. "Okay, what time does your shift finish?" "I finish at 11pm, why?" I asked "Well I figured that you can come back to my place for the night because I don't think that we can g to yours." She pointed out. "Good point, you don't mind if everyone finds out about us do you. I mean you did have that thing with Davis and I thought that ended because everyone found out?" "No that just ended, then everyone found out, but I don't care if who finds out about us just so long as I can do this when ever I want." She said as she moved up to kiss me. We started to kiss when we suddenly heard someone cough. We broke apart and there was Jimmy. "Since when have you two been an item?" He said, going straight to the point. "For about a month fire boy, can't believe it took you so long to click." I said rather rudely, I didn't like being interrupted when kissing. I was also rather embarrassed but I wouldn't let it show. I leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and I whispered I'll see you at 11 in her ear and walked out.
"Well that was rather embarrassing" Alex said as she pushed pass me after Bosco left. I stood there in shock. Alex and Bosco, that was unbelievable. I saw Lombardo heading down the stairs. I grabbed his arm. "Hey did you know about Alex's new boyfriend?" "What new boyfriend?" "Bosco" "Jimmy, you better not be pulling my leg" Jimmy shook his head "Oh man, I don't believe it!" Lombardo said. "We can hassle her about this" He said as he walked in her direction.
"Hey Alex, what's this I hear about you and Boscorelli?" Lombardo asked. "What do you want to know?" Alex asked "Is it true that you two are dating?" Lombardo asked. "Yes." She answered. "How long?" Jimmy asked "About a month." "Why didn't we know?" "Because you never asked." Alex simply replied Jimmy and Lombardo didn't know what to do so they simply walked away. "You were right Jimmy, but I would have never picked those two to date each other." Lombardo said as he headed for the stairs.
"Why did you go to the firehouse Bosco?" I asked. "Because I needed to check on my girlfriend, Faith" He responded. "You're what?" I asked, wondering if this was some sort of joke. "My girlfriend, the person I'm dating." "Who is that?" I asked" "Alex" "You and Alex are dating. You mean the fire fighter, Alex Taylor and you are dating." I said in shock. "What's so hard to believe about that?" Bosco asked. "I just would have never picked you two together." I said. "Well we are, get use to it." Bosco said. "How is she anyway?" I asked. "Dislocated shoulder, smoke inhalation and an ugly ass bruise on her face."
"Well I hope she gets better." I said, deciding to let the subject go.
