Through Thick and Thin

36

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were, but I walked away

If only I knew what I knew today

Ooh, Ooh

I would hold you in my arms

I would take the pain away

Thank you for all you've done

Forgive all your mistakes

There's nothing I wouldn't do

To hear your voice again

Sometimes I wanna call you, but I know you won't be there

"Family of Angel Brito." I heard the doctor say. I got up and ran towards him to see what's wrong with my husband.

"Tell me what's wrong with my husband! Is he going to be okay?" I asked. The doctor gave me a look of sympathy, which let me know he isn't alright.

"The bullet was 1 centimeter from Angel's chest. Seeing that when he got here, he was already losing a lot of blood. During the surgery, Angel slipped into a coma." The doctor said looking down at me.

"How long should it be before he wakes up?" I questioned looking up at the doctor, hoping he would say shortly.

"I would say a week or two, but what I say wouldn't matter. It's up to the man upstairs choice in which he gives you back your loved one." The doctor stated.

"Can I go see him?" I asked in between sobs. I felt someone hugging me. I looked up and saw it was my best friend. I forgot he stayed when I told everyone else to leave.

"Yes, follow me." He stated walking. He leaded us to his room and left. I opened the door and wanted to cry harder than I was. Seeing Angel hooked up to all those tubes, made me cry hysterically because I feel like it's all my fault he is here in the first place.

"It's going to be alright. My nigga a savage. He's going to make it through this." Kush said giving me a tight hug and rubbing my back trying to soothe me, but it wasn't working.

"But It's - It's my fault- he here- in the first place - he was- trying to - SAVE ME!!" I belched out in between me choking on my tears.

"Hush your mouth with all that nonsense. You're his girlfriend and his future wife. He's suppose to try to protect you from all dangers. Now when I come back, I want them tears gone." He said kissing me on my forehead. He gave me a hug and walked out.

When I heard the door shut, I rushed towards Angel's side and started crying hysterically. No matter what anybody says, I feel as if this is my fault.

" Baby, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have brought you into my mess. This is all my fault. Why did you have to jump in front of me??" I sobbed looking at his almost lifeless body. "Please don't leave me. I-I love you too much!" I said planting kisses on Angel's cold lips. I decided I should do something I didn't do in a long time, which is pray. I grabbed Angel's hands and started to pray.

" Heavenly Father which art in heaven. Hollow be thy name, which kingdom come. There will be done on art as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. God is our kingdom, our power, our glory forever and ever. Lord please look down in this hospital room.

Lord please put your hand on him.Lord heal him where he is weak and strengthen him where he is torn. Lord please let him make it out of this coma heal, healthy, hold, and strong. In Jesus name I pray, Amen." I let go Angel's hands and started to stroke his hair.

"Bestie, I'm back." Kush said walking back into the hospital room. He had two $5 boxes from Popeye's and some drinks with a bag full of snacks. "Why you got all this food?" I asked as he handed me a box of chicken.

" I figured you wasn't going to leave until my nigga wake up, so Imma stay here with you, and we both know I need my food." Kush said as he started munching on his food. "The guys said they're gonna be here tomorrow." He said smacking on his chicken.

"Stop all that damn smacking, boy."  I complained smacking him on his head. " Damn son. I'm sorry, shit. This chicken too damn good." He said biting a big ass chunk off his chicken leg.
