Chapter 9

(I hope this story isn't getting boring tell me if it is.)

The last think she remembered was running out of Bosco's apartment then falling down the stairs. She awoke to find herself in a hospital bed with all the tubes hocked up to her. Then she saw him Bosco was sitting in a chair just watching her when he realized she was awake her squeezed he hand.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" He asked with a touch of concern in his voice.

"I feel like carp." She looks at Bosco's face and wonders why he looks so concerned. Why isn't he with Faith? She wonders to herself.

"Bosco why are you her with me?"

"Because Ritza, you're hurt."

"Don't do this Bosco. Don't make this harder for me, ok. I should have never confided in you. Faith was right."

"No she wasn't," Bosco protested.

"We already had our chance and I screwed it up." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Bosco you deserve someone who will always be there for..."Shhh, Bosco put his hand over her lips. You need to rest and I'm not leaving you so just forget it."

She began to argue with him but Bosco wouldn't let her. Then he became serious again. "Ritza, I'm so sorry that I didn't protect you. I should have." This time it was her turn to put her hand to his lips and say, Shhhh. "It's ok, I'm fine."

"No it's not ok! I almost lost you without even really realizing that I had you. I'm so," Bosco said putting his head in his hands.

Cruz just reached for his hand and put it against her cheek you're here now and that's all the matters.

(This is a really short chapter but I promise to the next one will be longer!)
