Chapter fifty-two
Mac pov
I tried to force my eyes closed but an annoying beeping sound would not allow me to get the necessary sleep I wanted.
Slowly I opened my eyes and a very bright light hit me in the face. I shielded my eyes from the bright light, muttering some curse words to whoever had fixed the light right on my face.
Slowly, I began to realize that the environment seemed foreign to me, and when I fully arose from the bed the first thing I noticed was the IV beside my bed and the beeping sound coming from a monitor.
It was at that moment I realized that I was in the hospital. How on earth did I get to the hospital? I tried remembering what happened but the memories were foggy so I ignored them.
Suddenly the door opened and a man clothed in a white coat, stepped inside. He had shiny black hair and broad shoulders, he had a sharp-edged nose, and some glasses on. The moment he saw me, he smiled and I gazed my eyes on his white set of teeth, those were the most beautiful set of teeth I have ever seen.
“Finally you are awake” He commented, coming over to my side to check my vitals.
“What happened?” I asked, a little bit confused.
“You don’t remember anything?” Sadly if I could remember, I would not have been asking him about it and so, I shook my head.
“So you were kinda shot in the leg at a party and long story cut short, you were rushed here”
I checked down swiftly to look at the huge bandage that was wrapped around my left leg.
The memories were beginning to come back; the sound of a gun, the commotion from every person at the party, the police, and how I fell to the floor.
“Tisha!” I remember, trying to get out of bed but the doctor was quick to restrain me from getting out of bed.
“Doctor, I need to know if that girl is okay” I know I told her to go to the room, but the fear that something bad would have probably happened to her clouded my mind.
“Don’t worry, your girlfriend is fine, she is here in the hospital” I sighed in relief and laid back on the bed, my hand on my head and my eyes shut.
Hold up a minute, did he just call Tisha the school slut my girlfriend?
Oh well, I believe she is definitely behind this.
“Can I see her?” The doctor seemed to be contemplating it.
“I will go get her for you then,” He said checking my bandaged legs one more time and before leaving, I called his attention to something.
“Can I uh… Can you please stop that computer from beeping, it is driving me crazy” I could not withstand the sound that it was making and he simply smiled at me saying;
“It is meant to be there Mr. Mac, you just need to get acquainted with the sound” I groaned in frustration as he left.
After he was gone, I began to reminisce back to the scene before I arrived at the hospital. Who shot me? I didn’t do anything that would warrant someone coming to a party with a gun to try to kill me. I made a conviction in my heart that whoever had attempted to kill me, I would find out and when I eventually did, it would not be all roses.
The door opened and Tisha’s face came into view. She rushed towards me, a look of worry on her face.
“Are you okay? This looks bad” She commented, staring at my legs.
“You should count yourself lucky that it was just in the leg, even though I wished it was in your head” I stared at her blankly and she erupted into laughter, seeing my reaction.
“I was only joking. How are you holding up by the way”
“I am good, but that thing keeps annoying the crap out of me” I pointed towards the beeping monitor once more.
“You know you brought this upon yourself right?”
“Okay, are you here for the blame games, or are you going to try and thank me for saving your life out there?”
“You are lucky it’s only my face you are seeing at the moment when I called my parents, they said they were on their way, but I had to assure them that nothing really bad happened, it was just a minor case” I listened to what she had to say absentmindedly.
“How did it happen by the way? I mean the gunshot” She had that inquisitive look on her face.
“I don’t know, all I remember is that we were partying after the brothers of light left, and then a gun blasted, causing a commotion, and then I found myself going down to the floor, and the last thing I remember was the police coming to check on me”
“I heard they are investigating the shooting” It was a welcome development for me, I needed to know who did this, and once they were done and the culprit was found, I would make sure he suffered.
The door opened again and the doctor stepped in, he had a smile on his face seeing Tisha, before turning to stare at me.
“I will be discharging you this very moment, make sure the leg heals properly before thinking of going anywhere” Somehow, Tisha seemed to be the one paying attention to his instruction as my attention, I was thinking of the fact that Elena had left the party so early.
I wouldn’t deny the fact that she looked beautiful before this time, she was just a pictorial representation of perfection, and…..
“Earth to Mac” Tisha snapped her finger at me, to get me out of my thoughts.
“The way you were staring at me was very creepy” I smiled, if only she knew I wasn’t staring at her.
Heck, I was thinking about Elena. Thinking about Tisha would be a disaster, there was nothing to think about her.
“I swear Mac, if you keep staring at me like that, I will smack the living daylights out of you” I shook myself away from my imagination and stared at her again.
“Come on, let’s get you out of this bed” She held my hands, and using my strength, I stood up from the bed, she was supporting me by putting one of my arms across her shoulder, as we stepped out of the room.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
