Simone

Last night was without a doubt the worst night of my life. Luci was shot and although the bullet didn’t hit any major organs, she almost bled out. The doctor thinks because of her age and good health that she’ll be okay but she hasn’t woken up since her surgery and I’m worried.

After they took Luci back for surgery, her boss showed up. He saw everything on the news. He had access to her emergency contacts, so I was able to call Titus and leave a message. He called back a few hours later and promised to be on the first flight he could get to come home. I was also able to call her mother in Puerto Rico where she moved once Luci was in college and explain the situation. That took a lot of time. She lost her mind and went on a hysterical rant in Spanish that I had difficulty understanding. I booked her a flight to Miami and she’ll be here tomorrow around lunchtime.

Once I was done with that phone call, I had to deal with Gavin’s dad and explain what happened. Normally, I wouldn’t make him privy to anything happening in my life, but now I need him to keep Gavin longer because I refuse to leave Luci until I know she’s out of the woods. I hate giving up time with my son, but I can’t leave my best friend until I know she’s going to be okay for certain. Almost worse than having to tell Luci’s mom what happened was explaining things to Gavin in a way that wouldn’t give him nightmares but will help him see why it’s important that I stay here. Visions of him seeing us on the news covered in blood made my stomach ache. There were cameras and reporters everywhere as we were brought out and I know I ended up on television. It would have been awful if he saw that or if one of his friends told him before I talked to him.

The hotel property, both inside and out, was so chaotic that when I left in the ambulance with Luci, I only caught a glimpse of Thomas. The vision of him disheveled and covered in blood while he stood there talking to the uniformed Miami PD officers will stay with me for years. My heart begged me to stop long enough to throw my arms around him and hold him tight while I thanked him for saving all of us. It was because of him and his partner that most of us got out of there alive, and it was because of his quick thinking that Luci didn’t bleed out completely. I was too busy freaking out to think straight. Instead of stopping to tell him though, I rushed into the ambulance with Luci, terrified she wasn’t going to make it.

Now it’s been about 24 hours since I arrived at the hospital and the only person I’ve seen that isn’t hospital personnel is Luci’s boss. I’m thankful he came, but he left a long time ago and I’ve had too much time to think.
