SKINNY: taken care of

Well, that was one thing off my mind. I didn’t know how he’d take care of it, but I knew he would. If he was gonna fuck me over, he wouldn’t have responded, and he wouldn’t have done it immediately.

“She’ll never take you back.”

I looked up from the prepay. I swear daggers were shooting out of Chris’ eyes and straight into my soul. I didn’t answer her. What was I going to say? She probably wasn’t going to want anything to do with me. In order for us to be together, I couldn’t be a monster. I couldn’t be a killer. For that to happen, Burns would ether have to disappear, or have some radical change of heart. I doubted the latter.

A doctor came out of the doors I’d been staring at for hours. Chris bolted upright from her chair, practically running over to the young doctor. I felt cemented to my seat. I heard “She’s fine. Bullet tore her stomach, but we repaired it. Something something ICU. Few hours before you can see her.”

I exhaled a deep breath. She was OK. With my elbow on my knees, I held my head in my hands and tried not to cry. Gramps told me it was OK to cry, but there was no way I was doing it in my cut. Speaking of which, I heard, “We have to call in all gunshot wounds. Do you know what happened to her?”

I went back to holding my breath. What was Chris going to say?

“I don’t know what happened. I was outside the whole time.” Chris turned to me after saying this, and motioned for me to come over to her and the doctor.

I rose to my full height, adjusted my cut, and walked to where they were standing. I just stood there. I wasn’t asked a question, and I wasn’t offering up any information. The doctor eyed my cut, and I could see the recognition working behind his eyes. He nodded, and said something about letting us know when we could see her. The doctor walked away, but I kept standing there, like a zombie.

“You can go now.”

“What?” I looked at Chris confused. Where did she think I was going?

“He saw your cut. No one will ask anymore questions, so I got what I needed out of you. So, you can leave.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” How the hell could she think I was leaving without seeing Elle?

“I’m going to the bathroom, and when I get back, you better be gone.” With that, she turned on her heels and left me alone in the waiting area.

Leave? Where would I go? Home to sit and wait? Fuck that. The woman I loved was in ICU, and I planned to gaze upon my golden goddess before I stepped foot out of this hospital. Life without Elle was not an option. I had to make things right. Fuck. I knew what I had to do. I got the prepay out, and dialed a number I hoped was still in service.
