Chapter 6
I woke up to find Faith staring back at me. As soon as she realized that I was awake she ran to get the nurses. I tried to move but felt serge of paint through
out my entire body. That's when I remembered what had happened. I quickly put my hand up to my face only to feel a mass of gauze. After that I stooped
moving because it hurt so much. I could see all the cards and flowers on the table next to me. Faith came back in with the nurse then like usual she began to
fuse over me telling me she was so glad and I was ok and that she was so worried. I had visitors all day. Ma, Sully, Davis, Sasha, Finney, and even Santiago. I
was pleasantly surprised. Flowers arrived all day from people at the police and fire stations, and some from buddies as well. I fell asleep for a bit and when I
woke up the nurse was putting a bouquet of red roses on the table. I asked her whom they were from. She opened the card for me and showed it to me. The
card wasn't signed all it said was, " glad to see that you made it! I never doubted that wouldn't for even a second!" This puzzled me. I went through the list of
whom it could be from and came up with nothing. Later that night I was laying in my bed still wondering about the red roses when the nurse came in again to
check on me. I asked her if there was anyone that she could think of that could have given me the flowers. She thought for a moment and then said, " Well they
could be from the women who used to come every night after hours and sit with you. She never came during the day and she rarely spoke to you! She said
she just wanted to sit with you and not bother you." Immediately I said, " that must have been faith, only she would sit with me every night!"
"No, it wasn't her, the nurse replied. She was a very petite women, with black long hair."
I couldn't believe it! She was talking about Sgt. Maritza Cruz. Why would she sit with me every night? I asked her if she ever said why she sat with me?
"Well, she said that she loved you!"
