Chapter 18
*Nick*
I watched as Nat was rolled into the room, she was shaking and it was scaring me. When they lifted her up on the bed she started to scream for them to stop. It was something I never heard and saw her do. As they covered her, a doctor looked at me. “She’s going to be like this for awhile her body is in shook. We’re going to keep her here for a few weeks, there’s some tests I want to be done to her when she get’s out of it.”
I looked at him. Confused to why he was so calm about her, my baby. “What kind of tests?” I asked.
“I don’t want to say quite yet. But I’ll talk to you later about them.”
“What happened to the guy that did this to her?” I asked not wanting to say his name.
“Police took him. I’ll let you know again if anything happened. When we find out.”
“Alright, thanks.” I said.
They all walked out, and I looked over to the chairs and saw Brian sleeping. “Bri?” I whispered.
He didn’t move. “BRIAN!” I said a little louder. He woke up and looked at me. “What?” he asked.
“Nat’s here, what did you have to do?”
He groaned and looked at me. “I’m sorry. I fell asleep.”
“That’s alright, you want to go home, I think I can handle her, well at least someone in here.”
“Alright, I’ll go home, I’ll come back tomorrow. That okay?”
“Yeah, thanks Bri.”
“Uh hun. Nite Nick.” he said and walked out.
I looked at Nat who was sleeping, I’m guessing cuz they gave her something for that. I know that if
they didn’t she wouldn’t be sleeping.

A little later, I was tired of lying there watching Nat, so I sat by the window watching all the
people walk around the city. I while I had to be there for about six month’s pending on how long my
treatment for my drinking problem is going to take. I started to fall asleep, when I heard my
name. “Nicky?” I turned around and saw Nat up, well sort of up. “Hey.” I said walking to her. “How
are you feeling?” I asked sitting on her bed.
“Not to good. My head hurts, and I feel like I’m burning down where he..” she started to say but I
pulled her in a hug before she could say anything more.
“Sh.... it’s all over now, baby, your going to get out of here in a few days, and I’ll sit here and get all
better just for you.” I said rubbing her back and she started to cry.
“I know you will, I have faith in you.” she said into my chest.
I started to feel tears, but pushed them back, just to show Nat that I was okay. She stopped
crying into my chest, and looked up at me. “You okay?”
“As long as you are.” I said smiling down at her.
“I’m not, I’m scared, and your not crying. Which you should be.”
“You want me to cry?” I asked.
“No, well, it will help. I think.” she said confused.
“I’ve never cried before in front of you... I think.”
“You know you want to.” She said smiling.
“Glad to see you smiling.” I said.
“There hasn’t been anything for me to smile about.”
“Can I tell you something?” I asked.
“What’s that?”
“Once I get out of this hell hole, we are going to get married, with everything... the music, the
flowers, hell whatever you want to have we are going to get it. Then once we are married, we will
have the kids, the little doggy, picked fences. Everything. I want it to be perfect.”
“One part might come early....” the doctor said walking in.
