Warmness on the Soul chapter 4

By: Princess Vengeance™

Brian's Point of View

We were waiting in the hospital waiting room. So many things happened that night. Elizabeth tried to shoot Lela. Cassie got shot. Elizabeth got arrested. Cassie is in the hospital. And for the first time in my life I see Jimmy cry. Lela is too, Crying and leaning on my shoulder. For some reason she thinks it is her fault but it isn't. If Cassie dies it's not her fault. It's my fault. The doctor came out interrupting our thoughts.

"Well I have some good news," she said smiling. "It was I minor bullet wound and she is going to be okay." Jimmy looked up

"Are you serious?" He was overjoyed. "C-C-Can I see her?" The doctor nodded her head and Jimmy went in. Lela and I were alone in the waiting room.

"So where is Lily?" she caught me off guard. Leana always was concerned about Lily.

"Oh she's with Matt and Val's (Valarie is Matt's girlfriend)." There was another moment of dead silence so I did it. I kissed her and to my surprise she didn't pull away. So I kissed her again. After a while Jimmy came back out only to find me and Lela in an endless embrace.

"Um…Lela she wants to see you," Jimmy said emotionlessly. Lela straightened up and went into the room. So now I was alone with Jimmy.

"I am so sorry," I whispered to Jimmy.

"It's okay because she's okay." Jimmy and I hugged again. He really was my best friend.

Elizabeth's Point of View

"LET ME OUT OF HERRREEEE!" I screamed as I shook the rusty metal bars. Nothing happened. What have I done? I lost sight of sanity for one second and then I just go on to ruin my entire life. How long was I going to be in here? Would I ever see Brian again? What about my…our baby? Thoughts were running through my mind.

"You have one phone call," The guard handed me a phone. I dialed the number to my parent's house.

-1 hour later-

Karla's Point of View

I handed the money over to the bondsman.

"You must be in court on Thursday for your trial." The bondsman was serious.

"Yes sir," I chuckled as I escorted my daughter to freedom. As soon as we were out of the building I pulled her aside quickly.

"What the hell were you thinking? You can't just shoot someone!" I tried to put some sense into my daughter. "You have to do things the clean way." I gave her a smile.

The Day of Jimmy & Cassie's Wedding

Wednesday

Lela's point of view

I was helping Cassie fix her veil.

"Today is the big day," I said excitedly. She was crying. "Aw, don't cry sweetie you'll smudge your make-up."

"I'm just so happy and I love Jimmy so much. It's almost like I'm in a dream…Like I'm not even real…I just hope this dream doesn't turn into a nightmare," she turned around to gaze back in the mirror. Her glamorous dress was top of the line. Diamond crystals on a soft white silk material. The ceremony went great. Jimmy's vows went a little like this. "I know we may not always be happy with each other but I do know I'll look forward to chasing scallion ducks with you behind McDonalds." The whole church cracked up. At the reception I got a drink from a secret admirer. It tasted a little weird but I was sure it was from Brian and I drank it all. The weirdo waitress had a very pleased look on her face but I didn't think too much of that. It was all Cassie could ask for…a dream wedding.

-That night at Central Park-

Brian held my hand in his. We had been wondering the park ever since the wedding was over. Then he stopped and just started glaring into my eyes.

"What?" I questioned.

"Nothing you're just so beautiful." I smiled and then kissed him. He looked at me once more. "You know Lela that I love you…more than anything in the world."

"Yeah, I know" I answered. Where was this going?

"Well I have a little question for you," He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring box. He opened it and then came to view a nice sized diamond ring. "Lela, will you marry me?" he said in the sweetest voice. Just then my head started to spin…must have been that stupid drink.

"Brian of-" Suddenly all I can remember is I blacked out.

Brian's Point of View

I bent over. Why wasn't she breathing?

"Lela? LELA!" I shook her but nothing happened. I couldn't think. I got out my cell phone and dialed 9-1-1.

"Hello. My girlfriend is unconscious I need an ambulance NOW! Central park. Yes! Yes! Hurry!" I hung up the phone. While I waited helplessly I held her in my arms.

"Please don't leave me."

-at the hospital-

I sit there with my head in my hands. Everyone was there: Matt, Johnny, Zack, Mrs. L and Dr. L. All the people I needed, except for Cassie and Jimmy. No one could get a hold of them. I needed Jimmy now more than ever. I got up and paced. No one said a word.

-2 hours later-

A doctor came out of Lela's hospital room. He wasn't smiling.

"I have some good news and some bad news," he said. His face was emotionless. "The good news is we've figured out what's wrong with her."

"And what is the bad news?" Mrs. L asked fear clinging to her words.

"The bad news is -sigh- Lela has a very toxic poison in her blood called Spanolimia. She must have taken it into her body as a liquid. Did she have anything strange to drink tonight?" The doctor pleaded for everyone to try their best to remember.

"Well," Johnny opened his mouth to talk.

"Johnny shut the fuck up! No one needs your wise cracks," I roared at Johnny.

"But…,"

"I don't care," I sat back down and tried my best to think.

"Please let him speak," the doctor said "it could be important."

"I saw some waitress give her a drink at the wedding…I over heard something about secret admirer. After she drank it she had a nasty look on her face…I didn't think of it as anything until now." Johnny revealed to the group.

"Thank you! You may have just saved this girl's life." With that she rushed off back into the ER. I looked over at Johnny.

Johnny's Point of View

I looked over at Brian. He was looking at me. They all were. I knew what they were all thinking. "Johnny finally used his big-ass mouth for a good purpose." Brian mouthed the words.

"Thank you," and continued to put his head in his hands. I didn't notice it but I dosed off. When I woke up every one was sleeping. The clock over on the wall read: 2:34am. Where was Brian?

Brian's Point of View

I held her hands in mine. Her limp hands. I was still trying to understand what the doctor told me.

"We've started treatment for the substance. You may see her now. She's in a coma though…" What did that mean? Would the "treatment" work?

"Lela I don't know if you can hear me, but love is a strong word. I don't like to say it unless I mean it. I've never said it to Elizabeth. But I'm saying it to you. So just let that mean something." Looking at her body like that made me want to vomit. Limp. That was the only word that could describe her was limp. I prayed. I prayed that Elizabeth had nothing to do with this but I knew she did. She was the only person in the world who would want sweet Lela gone. I knew I should probably go back and fill every one in, so I did.

One Month Later

Today was bitter sweet. Elizabeth had been found guilty on the charges of attempting man slaughter. They also charged her for poisoning Lela. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Today was also the one month anniversary of Lela being in a coma. I was headed to the hospital. I had been crying. Something I can't even remember the last time I did. Today…they were going to take Lela off of life support.

-In the room-

Cassie was now sobbing uncontrollably with Lela's mother and other people in Lela's family. I didn't plan on meeting them this way. I had prayed for a miracle. But apparently that was not going to happen. It was my turn to say good-bye to her. The most magnificent girl I had ever met in my life. With out me noticing tears streamed down my face. I wiped them away. I had to be a man…For Lela. I walked over to her body. I leaned over. I said for the last time.

"I love you." I leaned and gave her what was to be my final passionate kiss with her. I backed away.

"Have we all said our final good byes?" The nurse said. Everyone nodded yes. Just as the nurse moved her towards the switch…

Watch out for chapter 5.
