I was sleeping when my phone went off .. I declined it and went back to sleep within the next few minutes my phone goes off again the same number I decide to pick it up
"Hello?"
"Hello Mr.stand?" This panicked me deeply I've never gotten a call like this
"Yes?"
"We're calling to inform you that Carlos Reyes has been shot on duty and is currently in surgery"
My heart skipped a beat and I hung up the phone and got dressed and headed to my car I felt a tear roll down my face I wiped it away
I rushed into the hospital went up to the front desk
"I'm here for Carlos Reyes any updates ?" I said in a panicked voice
"He's still in surgery to repair the damage he will be in there for another hour or two."
I called his dad who at the time was out of town on business to let him know what happened he was devastated as well but couldn't get a flight back
Then I sat for what felt hours and waited for an update it was now 4:00am in the morning still no update I was worried "what if my boyfriend wasn't going to be okay . What if I never get to tell him I love him again . What if I was there I could have treated him . Why wasn't I there when he needed me !"I thought to myself
My leg was bouncing up and down up and down my mind was running a million miles a minute
I felt no sense of control I felt useless but most of all I felt sadness
