Another Man's Treasure

Chapter 10

After three hours the surgical process was now over and Sincere was stable. Aaron was released but he hadn't gone home, he just went up the the hall to Sincere's room with Peyton, and Arielle. As Sincere nurse I had to check in on him every hour and record his progress, until my shift was over. I felt horrible seeing him like that knowing that my ex-boyfriend was the reason for this, knowing that it all happened at my house. I don't know what to do to make this better. After my shift was over I decided to stay with the rest of the crew in Sin's room.

Sincere had finally waken up, he seemed to be good just in a bit of pain. A smile appeared on his face when he seen everyone in his room.

"How you feeling man?" said Aaron

"I'm good. I'm still here, that's all that matters. How about you?"

"I'm good, I've been here before."

"I'll go get your nurse." I said, before exiting the room

I came back with the nurse and she recorded his information, she then informed Sincere that the police will be there to get his story whenever he was ready. Of course Sincere insisted that he didn't want to talk to them, without putting up a fight the nurse said Ok and exited the room.

"I gotta get out of here man, my girls are tired. I'm glad you good man, we'll be back later." said Aaron

"Alright man" said Sin as he dapped my brother

I said I was going to stay a while, I told them to take my car and I'll drive the Range home. After everyone said goodbye, it was just Sincere & I in the room. At first it was silent, but then I broke the silence

"Sin, I'm sorry."

"For what? you didn't pull the trigger."

"Yeah, but it happened at my house with my ex-boyfriend."

"I insisted that I come over, you didn't know. Hell, I didn't even know."

"That still doesn't make it Ok, look at you laying in a hospital bed. You could've died."

"But I didn't. That's all that really matters, if I'm not worried then you shouldn't be either."

"We're in two different positions though"

"It's Ok Ava, I promise."

"Ok."

"You weren't wearing that before , you work here?"

"Yeah."

"I know you have to be tired, it's 7 o'clock in the morning. Go home, shower, and get some rest. Come back later, Ok?"

"Alright. I'll be back around five."

The entire ride home I just couldn't help but replay the events that had happened. I think it's best that I fall back off of Sincere, every time I see him it'll just remind me of the situation and I'll feel bad over again. I can't believe Jared did some shit like this, I am so done with him. Fuck those clothes, I gave him more than enough chances to come get them. They were going to Goodwill. Arriving home, I got in the shower as soon as I got to my bedroom. After washing for about twenty minutes, I climbed in my bed and took a nap.

I slept for nine hours, it would've been longer if my phone didn't ring. It was Sincere, he wanted to know if I really was coming back. I guess I should get up right now and get dressed. Settling for a white tank top, jeans, and some flip flop I head for the hospital. Realizing I hadn't eaten, I decided to stop at McDonald's, I got enough burgers and fries for Sincere, Aaron, and Arielle to eat. I had gotten Peyton her own kids meals, but I wasn't sure if she was there or not. Arriving at the hospital, I checked in to get my visitors pass. Heading towards Sincere room, I heard a lot of loud voices. Entering the room there were four girls, I didn't recognize, yelling at each other. I then noticed the girl from the club, just standing there. Why do I keep seeing her. Arielle noticed me standing by the door , she walked up to me and grabbed my hand leading me outside the room.

"Girl, its so much going on. It started off with just one girl coming in cry hysterically saying Sin was her boyfriend , then came another, and another, and another. It just got so out of control, now they're in there acting a fool."

"Come with me."

I headed towards the security desk with Arielle right behind me

"Hey Frank, there are some unwanted visitors upstairs in 203, they're making a lot of noise and I'm sure its disturbing the other patience's, if you want I'll point them out to you because I'm heading there anyway."

"Alright Ava, I'll handle it."

We all then headed back to Sincere's room, the girls were still going. I pointed them out to Frank, and he had them escorted out of the building. I was later going to tell him to put them on the list of people who can't see him.

"Those girls are crazy," said Sincere

"That's not good for you to be around, it gets your heart to beating fast & it'll set off your monitors, everyone would be forced to leave."

"I told them they had to chill, but they weren't trying to hear that. Its good to see you though Ava"

"I just seen you this morning" I said trying to control my attitude but you could still detect it a little in my tone of voice.

"Aaron told me you were the nurse that assisted with my surgery. Thank you"

"That's my job, that's what I get paid to do."

"You good?"

"Yeah, I bought food. Just in case you guys didn't eat. Aaron , where is my niece?"

"She's with her grandma. That girl is always tired, so I didn't want to have her out."

"You know that means someone is pregnant, right?"

"I wonder who."

"It might be here mama, because it damn sure isn't me."

we all laughed , and continued on with our conversations. I couldn't lie, it bothered me coming in that room to a bunch of females who were supposedly Sincere girlfriend. I have to realize that we weren't anything to each other, not even friends. I'm here because it happened at my house and my ex boyfriend is the reason for this, but I had to accept the fact that I had a thing for Sincere. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone vibrated, it was Jared. He had some nerve calling me after he pulled that shit, shooting my brother, putting bullet holes in my windows, putting other peoples lives in danger. I'm am seriously done, I don't fuck with anyone that hurts my brother.
