Chapter 7
As Mimi woke up, she knew right away that she was in the hospital. Right next to her bed was Roger and Angel who were sleeping.
“Roger?” Mimi said in a weak voice.
“Mimi? Angel she up.” Roger said as he quickly moved to the bed to be nearer to Mimi.
“Mimi, chica. You had us all worried.” Angel said with relief in her voice.
“Water please.” Was all that Mimi said, at that moment in walked Mimi’s Uncle Mike.
“Mimi? Oh, thank God you’re awake. You had all of us worried.” Mr. Grey said with a hint of worry and relief in his voice.
“Uncle Mike? What are you doing here? How’d you know that I would be here? Who called you?” Mimi asked not quite understanding all that was going on.
“I called him chica. And I told him what Benny did. Let’s just say that Benny is being watched until you give your statement to the police. And then he will be arrested for attempted murder.” Angel explained her anger at Benny showing.
“So, it wasn’t a dream. It actually happened.” Mimi said trying to get the memories out of her head.
“I’m sorry Mimi.” Roger said in a comforting voice.
“When will I be able to get out of here? And Uncle Mike can me and my friends use our vacation house until I feel safe again?” Mimi asked wanting to get out of the city and away from Benny.
“I’ll go fetch the doctor to see when you can be released and as for the vacation house, of course you and your friends can use it.” Mr. Grey said with a warm smile.
“Thank you.” Mimi said and then Mr. Grey left the room to get the doctor. “I’m sorry for worrying all of you.” Mimi said to Roger and Angel.
“I’m just glad that you’re alright.” Roger said.
“Si chica. You being alive and well is all that matters.” Angel said sitting on the bed next to Mimi on the other side that Roger wasn’t sitting on.
Just then the doctor came in with Mr. Grey right behind him. “Mimi I’m glad to see that you’re awake. I hear that you want to know when you can get out of here.”
“Yes. Um no offence to you or the hospital it’s just that well I hate hospitals and I try to avoid them if I can.” Mimi explained.
“Well your charts are looking good. And your wombs are healing nicely. I don’t see why you can’t leave in a couple of hours. But I should tell you that there are police officers here to take your statement. Should I tell them that you are ready to talk to them?”
“Yes. Um can my friends stay here with me when I give my statement?” Mimi asked not wanting to be alone with the police officers.
“I don’t see why not. If you all will excuse me, I’ll go get the officers.” The doctor said as he left the room.
Moments later two officers came in both female and both had a pad of paper and a pen out ready to take Mimi’s statement.
>^_^<
After giving her statement the officers gave their card to Mimi in case, she had any questions or could remember anything about the attack. Then they left. After they were gone a nurse came in with the discharge papers. After she was discharged from the hospital Mimi, Roger, and Angel took Mimi’s uncle’s limo to her apartment where she and her friends packed a bag full of cloths to go to the vacation house. After they were packed, they took the limo to the house which was about an hour and a half drive.
Once they got to the house one of Mimi’s co-workers Amy was there sitting on the steps waiting for them.
“Mimi.” Amy said as Mimi exited the limousine.
“Amy thank you so much for coming.” Mimi said as she walked up to Amy, Roger right behind her. “Amy I would like for you to meet Roger my boyfriend. And the blond is Mark, and you already know Angel and Collins. And the brunette is Maureen and her girlfriend Joanne. Guys this is my friend Amy.”
“Pleasure to meet you Amy.” Everyone said as they got their bags from the trunk.
They all then made their way to the house and picked their rooms. Mimi and Roger got the master bedroom, then Angel and Collins got one of the guest bedrooms, as did Maureen and Joanne. As for Mark and Amy well, they were too busy talking to look for a room.
“So, your studying to be a photographer?” Mark asked in awe.
“Yeah. I mean stripping is just a job that pays the bills. I mean I love dancing and making men drool, but my real passion is taking pictures of my friends and family.” Amy explained.
“Wow. I love to record my friends not really my family. Mean don’t get me wrong I do love them and all but…”
“Let me guess they can be a big pain in the ass?” Amy finished.
“You got it. Man, I can’t believe that you and I have so much in common.” Mark said with a smile on his face.
“Oh, so you’re a stripper too?” Amy asked in a joking manner.
“No not that I mean… well you know.” Mark said with embarrassment.
“Yes, I do. Um I guess we should find a room for that’s what everyone else is doing.” Amy said noticing that they were alone.
“Yeah.” Mark said with disappointment in his voice for he wanted to talk some more with Amy.
“We’ll talk some more later, I promise.” Amy promise knowing what Mark really wanted to do.
“Ok let’s go get a room to unpack.” Mark said as he grabbed his bag and camera.
“Yeah lets.”
>^_^<
In the master bedroom Mimi was snuggling up next to Roger who had both of his arms around Mimi’s body in a protective manner.
“You know thanks to you I wrote I think it’s now three songs.” Roger said with a smile on his face.
“Oh really? Can I hear one of them?” Mimi asked with her puppy dog eyes.
“Ok I’ll sing the one that I wrote while you were in the hospital.”
“But I just got out of the hospital.” Mimi asked in a joking manner.
“You know what I mean.”
“Yes, I do.”
Roger grabbed his guitar and played the cords to his song ‘Your Eyes’.
“Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes
How'd I let you slip away
When I'm longing so to hold you
Now I'd die for one more day
'Cause there's something
I should have told you
Yes there's something
I should have told you
When I looked into your eyes
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before this song dies
I should tell you I should tell you
I have always loved you
You can see it in my eyes
Mimi!!!”
