Angel with the Mafia Devil

17: Sleeping

We're in the hospital, but not a local one, one where mafias go to stay out of public and not draw too much attention.

The whole family was sitting in the waiting area, some trying to comprehend what's going on and others trying to calm me down, but nothing was gonna calm me down. Riku is in serious danger because he tried to save me. He nearly got himself killed. The doctors and nurses havent told any of us anything yet and it's been 3 in a half fucking hours. I want my Riku back!

After what seemed like forever, the door to his room finally opened and a doctor came through, with just a bit of blood on the palms of his gloves. Lady Rachel got up and walked over to him to speak privately. I wanted to hear them to badly but knew it was rude and that I had to wait. After finishing their words, the doctor walked off and Lady Rachel huddled everyone over.

"Listen, the doctor said that he'll be fine. He thankfully didnt get hit in a vital area, though it was close to his heart" that made everyone let out sighs of relief. "He'll be transferred to the house tomorrow so we can take care of him there. But right now, he's heart isnt in the best state, too much beating can cause pain to him so we have to be careful"

"But he's also unconcious for a little bit, maybe 2 or 3 days. But we can still go see him but only a few at a time" we all nodded and took turns going in. Miku and Lady Rachel went first(I could see tears in both the girls eyes seeing their favorite man in his state), then next was Crystal and Slipper(Slipper tried holding back tears cause she isnt the sensitive type infront of people), then my brothers went in(I was honestly surprised they cared THIS much about him. I guess these guys became such close friends), then it was me and Lunas turn.

I walked in to find Riku laying on a big comfy bed with an oxygen tube over his mouth and nose, a pint of blood attached to his arm giving him blood, and his chest has bandages over the wound with his eyes lightly closed and he faintly breathed in and out. I immediately started tearing, seeing the state I put him in. If he wasnt so protective of some mistake like me, he wouldnt be here.

I sat down next to his side as Luna stood behind me, gently rubbing my shoulders trying to comfort me. Shes been my friend for a very long time and shes always known how to at least try to cheer me up.

"Riku..." I called softly for him, only to be answered with no movement and no sound from him.

"I'm so.. so sorry this happened to you. If you werent in love with me, you would have been fine. Tasha was right... maybe I'm just a burden to everyone, a freak of nature, a mistake that only leads to the worst. You nearly died trying to save me, I dont deserve your love. I will make sure that when you wake up, you'll never have to go through that again. Please dont leave me. I love you" thank god Luna already left a few minutes ago or she would be lecturing me at the worst possible time.

I hugged his stomach softly and cried onto him, hearing soft and faint breaths. How could this had happened to him... he didnt deserve it, I did. I kissed his forehead and walked out slowly, not wanting to leave but knew I could wait just a few hours till he would come home. We all went back to the cars and drove home, the ride being silent except for Mikus soft crying and her mother held her. I know how close of siblings Miku and Riku were, never wanting to be apart for very long and doing nearly everything together since birth.

I completely understand why she would feel the way she does. Her twin, her own blood sibling, laying still in a bed doing nothing, saying nothing, but breathing. What have I dont to him-

RIKU

I cant see. It's just black. I cant move either, my body feeling like its restrained to where it laid. I had no idea where I was nor a clear memory of how I got in this state. All I remember was what happened before I felt that pain in my back. It felt really close to my heart which hurt a hella lot. Last thing i heard was Berry yelling my name.

I was able to hear though. I could hear people talking and rushing around to get things for me or something. I must be in a hospital or something because they sounded like getting medkits and bandages for me. I heard some guy say I was in a minor coma that would be for 2 to 3 days. What? Coma?

Soon after it was silent and I didnt like it very much. Felt like I was dying alone. But then I heard noises again, trying desperately to open my eyes to see but i couldnt. I hear soft voices around me that belonged to my mother and sister. I could hear their words crying. My sister was crying. For me. I mentally cried too, but couldnt feel anything on my cheeks. They soon left and new voices came in, same thing for them. It was Crystal, Slipper, Aaron, Zane and then Luna and... Berry.

My princess. She sounded so sad. I could feel her look at me with such despair and regret. She said words that made me want to yell and hug her tightly but I couldnt. She kept saying those hurtful things about herself and I couldnt stop her.

Please. Please dont blame yourself.

Wake up, damn it!

I hate this! I need them! All of them!

I need her!

Please... wake up
