Chapter 28
...
Mark P.O.V
The ride to the hospital was silent. John tries his best to forget the pain on his shoulder.
"It's over isn't it…" said John.
"It is…" I said "We will be left alone now"
"You got your brother's killer…" he said.
"Yes…now he can rest in peace"
John places a hand on my cheek. I held it and he notices the blood.
"Your head again…" he smirks.
"Yes…" I said "It hurts like hell"
John laughs a little. We both held our hands and went for the ride. The doctors took care of us. It took a while for John. I was beginning to worry. I felt some tears swelling up.
I haven't heard word from John. I pace back and forth; am wondering if he is okay. My head was patched up; I did get a lot of warning. Don't hurt your head; don't run; don't move around as much. My leg is also killing me. I got stitches on my cut.
The bandage wrap is suppose to support it but it still hurts. Even though I am pacing around.
Look at me now. I am walking back and forth. John's friend and Grandpa came in. Glen came up to me and hugs me tight.
"You okay" he asks.
"I'm fine…"
"Where is John?" His grandpa asks.
"He is still in the emergency room" I said
"What happen?"
"He got shot on the shoulder part…"
His grandpa gasps and looks down. The doctor comes up with the paper in hand.
"Mr. Cena" he said as he looks up. I walk up to him.
"I'm…his husband….' I said. Even though we didn't get married because of what happen but I don't care.
"Okay…he is fine…" said the doctor "but in a lot of pain". I nod; I understand that.
"May I see him?"
"Yes…"
I walk in and I see him looking straight ahead. I limp slowly to him and sit next to him. He hugs me with his good arm.
"I'm glad you are okay" I said.
"Yeah…but it hurts…"
"I know….but it will get better soon"
"I hope so…"
"Let's take your mind off it and talk about something else"
"Like what…?"
"Marry me…" I said "I can't wait any longer…"
"I will marry you once I get out of here"
"Tomorrow…under the tree" I smile as I kiss him softly. "The doctor said you can go home tomorrow…so we will get married tomorrow"
John smiles as tears of joy form. I kiss them away and we both hug each other. Randy, his grandpa, and Glen walk in with a smile. We all hug and hang out till the night.
John gets ready and drove to the tree place. The tree was big and beautiful. I look down the aisle. His grandpa was walking him down.
He gives John's hand to me and whispers "Take care of him"
"I will" I said back.
It went well. We said our vows; gave our rings and now. I may kiss my man. I kiss John as everyone cheer. He hugs me with his good arm. We walk down the aisle and everyone clapping.
It was the party and everything we great. John was slowly dancing around. I look at Glen as he smiles at me.
"Congrats…"
"Thanks…"
"You have a whole life ahead of you" said Glen.
"I know…but I wish my brother is here"
"He is…" said Glen "He is watching over you"
I smile as I hug him. I then see the microphone open.
"I have to do something"
I ran up to the stage and held the microphone.
"I'm going to sing" I said with a laugh. The music starts going as I listen for my cue. I got a guitar and start playing.
Grab your ticket and your suitcase
Thunder Rollin' down this track
Well, you don't know where you're going' now
But you know you won't be back
Well, darling if you're weary
Lay your head upon my chest
We'll take what we can carry
Yeah, and we'll leave the rest
Big wheels roll through fields
Where sunlight streams
Meet me in a Land of hope and dreams.
John was looking at me with a smile. He looks so happy now. I rock out in my guitar; it was sort of a guitar solo.
Well, I will provide of you
And I'll stand by your side
You'll need a good companion now
For this part of the ride
Leave behind your sorrows
Let this day by the last
Tomorrow there'll be sunshine
And all this darkness past
Big wheels roll through fields
Where the sunlight streams
Oh meet me in land of hope and dreams.
People are now jumping and dancing with the song.
This train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This train
Carries Whores and gamblers
This train carries lost souls
It all gets quite as I sang quietly. I look around to see John with tears of joy. His Grandpa hugs him tight.
"I told you…the one that finds your necklace and returns it; is your true love"
John laughs along with his Grandpa. John kisses his cheek.
This train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This train
Carries Whores and gamblers
This train carries lost souls
I look at everyone as they sang along with me. I smirk and continued.
I said this train
Carries broken hearted
This train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This train
Carries fools and kings thrown
This train
all board
I said this train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This train
Faith will be rewarded
This train
The steel wheels singing
This train bells of freedom.
I kept on playing. Everyone was now cheering. John comes up to me and kiss my cheek.
"Come on this train" I sang "People get ready"
John comes along and sings "You don't need no ticket"
"All you gotta do is get on board" sings John's grandpa.
"On board this train" I sang "People get ready…you don't need no ticket…you don't need no ticket…"
"Just thank the lord…"
The song faded and got slower. John kisses me with smile. People are cheering for us.
"The song was awesome" he said with a smile.
"Well…I like that song"
John laughs with me. I kiss him again.
"This train will take us to our future" I said with a smirk. "To the Land of Hopes and Dreams"
John and I kiss each other.
We walk up to my brother's grave. John had some flowers along with Randy. Glen was looking at me with worry. I knelt down in front of his grave.
"I'm going to miss you brother" I said as I place a necklace on his tomb. I held out a hand for John. "This is John…your new brother in law"
John smiles as he rubs my shoulders.
"I know you are in a better place now…" I said "I am too…"
John kisses my cheek. I got up along with John. He places the flowers and we went back to the house. I look back with a smile.
I hug John closer to me. We can live on strong; and be happy forever.
