Hospital Woe
AMY'S POV
The rain beat down heavily on the windshield on the way to the hospital. I had just got off the phone with Ben, relaying the news of Ricky, my Ricky. I sniffled but it was barely heard with the squeak of the windshield wipers. Mom dropped me off at the main entrance.
"Call me when your ready to come home." she said looking at me, worry showing on her face.
"Ok." I whispered.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?"
"I'm sure." I said shutting the door and walked numbly inside.
"Room 215 would be on the 2nd floor." I thought. I quickly found the elevator. The ride up was horrible. I didn't know if it was me being pregnant, the elevator, or my concern for Ricky that had me all nauseous. Perhaps its all three.
When I found room 215 I saw the door was open and I heard a ball game blaring from the t.v. in the corner. I walked around the curtain to see Ricky napping. I stared at his masculine beauty and the fresh scratches at covered his face. One was a deep cut over his eyebrow that would certainly leave a scar. His left arm was resting in a sling and his left leg was covered in a blue cast up to his knee. I didn't want to wake him so I sat quietly in the chair beside him. My attempts failed when I saw his eyes flutter open and look at me.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you." I stammered.
"Its okay I'm glad you did." he smiled wincing at the pain that caused him. "Come here." he said patting to the space beside him.
"I don't think…"
"Come on Amy. You wont hurt me, I promise."
"Okay." I smiled. I curled up next to him lying my head on his chest. "So who's playing in the game?"
"Atlanta Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals."
"Cool. Who do you root for?"
"Promise you wont laugh?" he chuckled himself.
"Yup."
"The Braves. I know they aren't the best team but I love them. I used to live in Atlanta in one of my foster homes and my foster dad used to take me to all the games."
"That's sweet." I said listening to him remember.
We continued to watch the game and the next thing I knew I was asleep. The only thing that woke me was my phone vibrating in my pocket. I carefully slid out of Ricky's arms and read the text message.
Hey hun just thought I would check on you. Call me back for an update. Love you. Mom
I turned my phone off and slid it back into my pocket. I knew I wasn't supposed to have my phone on so I went in search for a payphone.
"Hello?"
"Hey mom, its me."
"How's Ricky?" she asked trying to show concern in her voice.
"He's ok got a broken leg and a sprained arm. Some cuts and bruises. He'll be ok."
"That's good. So when do you want me to pick you up?"
"Visiting hours are over at 9."
"Okay hun. I'll see you then. Love you bye!"
"Love you too."
I hung up with my mom and turned the corner to get a drink. Being pregnant I craved an ice cold Coke but I would only allow myself to drink water. I put in the four quarters and grabbed the bottle. As I turned I heard a familiar voice.
"Amy!" Ben said running up to me and giving me a huge hug. "Are you ok? How's Ricky? I got here as soon as I can but I had to wait until Dad got off work. Amy, I've been so worried."
Just then he kissed me. Not just a friendly peck on the cheek but a kiss kiss. I tried to push him away but that just made him pull me closer.
RICKY'S POINT OF VIEW
"Hey Alice!" I said as she entered the room.
"Are you feeling better Ricky?" she asked sitting in the chair.
"Yea a little bit." I said remembering my nap with Amy.
"I brought you some magazines and you I-ped or I-pod or what ever you call it." she said laying them on the table beside me.
"I-pod." I chucked than wincing at the sharp pain that caused me in my chest. "I saw Amy today. I thinks she's still here. She probably just went to go get a drink or something."
"Ricky, we need to talk." she said looking very serious.
"Awh come on Alice. I'm not going to sleep with here in the hospital. Especially like this I pointed to my leg."
"No its not that. Are you sure she's no longer with Ben?" she said looking at the ground.
"Yea why? Why would she still be with him?" I asked hurt at her question.
"I saw her and Ben….."
"Hey Alice. Hey Ricky!" Amy said walking into the room her face all puffy and damp from tears.
"I better be leaving." Alice said picking up her purse and leaning in for a hug. "Just be careful that's all I ask." she whispered giving me a quick hug and leaving the room.
I just sat there studying Amy. What did Alice she her do?
