What is going on....
Alex POV
My head hurts.. my body hurts...why is my arm in a sling??? my thoart is dry... why is it so dark in here? are my eyes open?? no they are not ok wow I need to open them.. ok I can see... where am I? whose bed is this? this isn't me my bed... this isn't my room... Where is Logan?? can I talk?? well here goes "Water...." its a whisper wait who am I talking to? can anyone hear me?? I should probably try again
"Water..." I'm going to look around this room again, what is that noise?? why am I hooked up to all these machines?? what happen.. I see something wait is that my Mom? What is she doing here? where ever I am?
"Mom!!!"
"Alex Oh my goodness you're awake"
"Water Mom"
She hands me a cup of water, she is just standing over me with tears in her eyes, she kissed my forehead.
"Baby how are you feeling?"
"I'm tired, sore"
Wait I look around the room again and I start to freak out "Mom where is Logan?"
"He's at his soccer game."
My dad must have taken him to the game,
"Baby I am going to go get the doctor"
I'm just laying here then in walked my Dad, no Logan. I'm confused now, then in walked my mom with this lady I'm guessing she is my doctor. "Hello I'm Dr. Armstrong, How are you feeling" she asked while looking at this clip board.
"I'm just a little tired and my body is sore"
"Well that is normal, do you remember what happen and why you are here?"
"I remember going to dinner with Logan and these guys or women I don't know came up to me and they were trying to take my bag, then they were kicking me, punching me.. then I was on the ground trying to fight back, then trying to fight for my life."
"Well you had a lot of trauma to your body, and in your brain you were in a coma for two months, when you got here we had to do emergency surgery to stop the bleeding in your brain, also the internal bleeding, you broke some ribs, fractured your skull, busted your spleen, you broke your collarbone, but all your vitals are where they should be, we have been pumping fluids in your body to keep you hydrated, a lot of your problems have been fix while you were in the coma, except the spleen, you might get some head aches but that is common, but Alex you have a long road ahead of you"
I have tears in my eyes, I'm trying to let everything sink in "Thank you"
She walks out the door telling me that she will be back in a few.
How did I get to the hospital?? Did someone find me?? Who called the cops?? Did Logan?? wait he doesn't have a phone.. Did they catch the Assholes that did this to me?? Wait my mom will know who called the cops.
"Mom how did I get here?" She walked to me and kissed my head " Oh honey Logan will tell you he should be here in a little bit" Now I'm really confused.. I still.. well I just don't know what to think.
Tobin POV
I had a huge smile on my face..
"Logan guess what your mom is awake we are going to the hospital so you can see your mom"
"YAY!!!"
"Momma"
We finally get to the hospital and Logan was so excited to get in there.
"Lil man wait for me" he stopped and grabbed my hand "Sowwy Toby"
Wait what if she doesn't want to see me? I guess I'm about to find out we walk into the door Logan runs to his mom in her bed
"Momma you are awake, I missed you, I wove you" She grabs him and pulls him to her bed
"Baby I missed you so much and I love you so much" then she kissed his forehead
I'm just standing there watching the interaction with them two, and its so cute.
She looked over towards me and gives me a little smile, all I can do is smile back at her.
Logan gets off the bed and walks towards me grabs my hand and walks me to his mom "Momma this is Tobin but I call her Toby, she called 911 then she took brought you here, well the truck did but she came with me, She had been taking care of me, she let me sleep at her place in a bed, taking me to soccer, she got me new cleats" he ran to his bag "see" as he held them up. He was talking about a mile a minute I don't know how she could keep up. All I could do is smile and all she is doing is looking at me she really has pretty eyes.
I bent down "Lil man you think I could talk to your mom a minute"
"Ok Toby" he ran to go in the hallway with his Nana and Papa
"Momma be back"
"Ok"
"Toby be back"
I'm about to speak to her...
"Have we met before?
You look familiar" she asked me
"Well maybe I work at that sporting goods store that you guys came into."
"Oh that's right I probably saw you there"
Well she didn't freak out yet, that's a plus
"I'm Tobin" I stick my hand out towards the hand that wasn't in a sling.
She put a little smile on her face "I'm Alex"
I am about to tell her the story on how Logan showed up at my work, I guess she knows that I'm about to talk because she stops me.
"Tobin I really don't want to hear about it right now, maybe a little later"
I just shook my head and said "OK"
So I was just standing there and no one was talking She looked over towards me "Tobin I want to thank you for everything you did for me and Logan I really appreciate it, I really
don't know what else to say"
I just smile at her and I say "You're Welcome"
Next thing I know Logan came running in the room with his Nana and Papa and he walked up to me "Toby you were right momma woke up"
I bent down "You're right buddy I did" I looked around the room "Well I'm going to go get something to eat would anyone like something? Logan jumped "Me a cookie" I smiled "Ok buddy anyone else?"
Then Alex said "Hey buddy maybe you should see if you could go with her" he looked over at me with these puppy dog eyes" Toby?" "Sure buddy of course you can go" He ran to kiss his mom "be back momma wove you"
"Love you too"
Then he ran to his Nana and Papa gave them both hugs, then he ran to me and grabbed my finger.
So "We'll be back" I said then we walk out the door. I hope Alex doesn't mind Logan is going with me, wait it was her idea.. Tobin it will be fine stop worrying. We get out in the hallway "Toby I'm glad you are here you're my buddy" Aww he is so cute "Lil man I wouldn't want to be anywhere else" I said while I gave him a little fist bump.
ALEX POV
So Tobin helped me? She found me? She called the police? She is watching Logan? wait she doesn't know us. Why would she do that?
"Mom"
"Yeah Baby girl?"
"So uh um Tobin helped me?"
"Yeah sweetie she called 911, she got them to do the emergency surgery on you, and if she didn't make that call about the emergency surgery you probably would be still in a coma or have brain damage." "She called your father and I to tell us what happen to you, but honey let me tell you she was so scared to tell us that she told them to do the surgery, because she knows she had no right to make the choice but she knew you needed it, I told her it was ok"
"She has been taking care of Logan the whole time you have been here, She has taken him to school and soccer practice, and she hasn't asked for anything in return, also she hasn't complain once."
*Wow this girl that doesn't know me saved my life, most people don't do that*
"So Mom she is still here even though I woke up and she has been here even though you guys were here with me?"
She shook her head "Yes baby girl"
"Alex she really cares about Logan you can see it, also Logan cares for her he always wants to be around her, they really have bonded."
I really don't know what to think.. I looked over to my mom "Will you go find them please?"
I'm just sitting here for about 5 minutes then Logan came running in,
"Hey Baby" he still has a smile on his face.
"Yeah Momma" I pulled him up on my bed.
"You like Tobin? like do you like being around her?" his little eyes just lit up when I said Tobin "Yeah momma she is my buddy"
Then he jumped down and ran to his bag and pulled out his cleats "look momma" he held up his cleat he pointed to these numbers "look number 13 for you" then he pointed to the other side "number 17 for Toby"
"Momma she also knows KO and HAO" all he could do is smile That smile hasn't left his face the whole time.
Well Logan seems to enjoy her maybe it wont be bad to get to know her and open up to her. She seems to really care about him.. I really need to talk to her again... The door opened "Toby" he went running towards her and she just picked him up.
Yeah I'm going to let her hang around....
"Nana will you pwease take me to the potty" Logan said
They walked out of the room.
I'm about to start talking when she starts
"Alex I'm sorry if this is weird or what I don't have to be here for you and Logan"
* As she is talking I can tell she is nervous like she think I am going to yell, why would I yell she saved my life, I can tell in her voice that she really does care, she seems like a great person. OH SHIT she is still talking and I am not listening..*
"And I mean Logan is a great kid"
She has been looking at the ground the whole time..
"Tobin"
She looked up with what looks like tears are about to fall down.
I think I might start to cry also.
"I really do appreciate what you did for me and Logan, I don't think you know how much it means to me"
I motion for her to come closer to my bed, so she walks really slowly, I lift her face "I know it might be crazy but I don't care it's hard for me to let down my shield, I've been hurt a lot in my past, So its only been Logan and I against the world, He is my life, I'm not use to people helping me out in time of need, most people just turn their heads and walk the other way, So you have to see how I was shocked that someone helped me, you were right you didn't know me but you didn't care you helped me anyway."
Now I'm starting to cry she probably thinks I'm weak.. great...
"The fact that you helped me without knowing us makes me think there are still great people in the world especial you, Tobin I would be stupid to not want you in my life, Logan adore you and plus you have a killer smile on you"
She starts to talk fiddling with her hands "Logan really is a great kid, he is well behave, you did a great job raising him. Alex you should be so proud of him, he is so sweet and super cute" "Just so you know Alex I am not planning on leaving anytime soon, I love hanging out with Logan, I love taking him to school, and soccer, he always puts a smile on my face because he always has a smile on his face."
"Thank you Tobin!" all I could do is smile
"Hey Alex I know one person that Logan looks up to"
"Who?"
"You!"
"Me" as I pointed to myself
"Yeah you"
"His eyes light up every time we walk into the hospital when he gets to see you, or when we talk about you"
"I...Im... very proud of him, I had to fight for him"
She started to walk closer to my bed and she wiped the tears away from my face... all of a sudden the door flew open
"Momma.... Toby...."
"Toby are you going to take me to my game?" She picked him up "You bet, we better get going your mom needs to rest" She put him down "Momma I'm going to score a goal for you" then she gave her a kiss.
"Bye Tobin... Bye baby..."
"Bye Momma.... Bye Alex"
I start looking around the room and notice all the flowers, cards, bears, and balloons. There was about ten or so of them were from Tobin and Logan. Wow that is really sweet of her, this beautiful girl wants to be around my son and a single mother, she is just too much, now I know I really want her in my life, wonder if she is dating anyone? wonder if she likes men or women?
I think I'm going to read some of the letters
Alex,
Keep fighting!!!!
Tobin
Alex,
Get better soon!!! keep fighting!! miss you at work
Sydney D
Wait Sydney, thats my boss, how did she know? aww that's sweet!!
Alex,
Logan scored a goal today, he said he was for you, he is really fast, every day he is getting better. I know they really don't keep score but still lol
Tobin
I start looking around and came across a long letter
Dear Alex,
Hi I'm Tobin Heath, you don't know me and I don't know you but that doesn't matter to me, when you wake up hopefully we can get to know each, yes I said when you wake up because i know you will wake up. I also told the doctors to do surgery on you when we first got here, I know I have no right but you have to believe that you needed it so i made the choice, so I'm sorry again.
(she saved my life and she is saying sorry?)
You're son is so sweet and really adorable I've been taking care of him, watching him he has been staying at my place, taking him to school and soccer. I called your parents they should be here soon, well when you are reading this they will be here. I called your work and talked to your boss, she told me she hopes everything goes well and you will still have your job because you are the best employee. She told me she will be praying that you pull through this, I also have been praying for you every night. Logan and I pray together, I don't know if you want him to pray if not I'm sorry, but it's cute how he puts his hands together... Crap sorry I got side tracked but back to your boss I got your bosses number from that book that your parents number was in.. I must say that is so smart, another thing that was smart was the key around the neck of Logan I didn't know it was there. I talked to your landlord and let me tell you he is well you know what he is, I paid for a year of your rent, so you will still have a place to stay when you get out. So you have one less thing to worry about so everything will be where you left it... ok so now that you are reading this it is a great thing because you are awake. well I gotta go
Tobin
The last letter I am going to read right now I grabbed the letter, when I open it a picture fell out I flipped it around it was a picture of Tobin and Logan, Logan had ice cream all over his face. I must admit it's really cute and Tobin is really beautiful
went to celebrate another goal.. he says lets take a photo for momma, so we did yeah we know it's cute look at him with his ice cream..
p.s. I bought him another pair of cleats, because I told him you should always have two pair of cleats so that's what I did, also I had to buy him some soccer socks they got a hole in them when he slid.
I can't believe her she is a angel, she is so sweet, I really need to take a nap before they get back, I will save the rest till another day.
Tobin POV
"Toby... Toby.."
"Yeah buddy?"
"I'm glad you're taking me to my game and spending time with me"
I put my hand on his shoulder " Buddy I love spending time with you"
He grabbed my hand and just smiled "Toby I can't wait till my momma gets to watch me play again"
I bent down "L- train I am proud of you for being so strong for your mom and on the pitch, I know your mom will be proud too."
He gave me one of the biggest hugs ever and he whispered "Thanks Toby"
At the game he is putting 110% out there on the pitch, he kept pointing to his heart and then his cleats. This lil man is melting my heart again.
After the game we stopped at Mc Donald's, Logan insisted on getting his mom a cheeseburger. "Toby she is probably tired of hospital food"
So we walk into the room and Alex is just watching TV, Logan runs towards his mom "Mommy Mommy I scored twice" as he held up his two fingers. She smiled "You did" "Yup" "Mommy, Toby and I bought you a cheeseburger"
I walked it over to her and handed her the bag and she grabs it and her hand touched mine I got butterflies.
"Thanks"
"We thought you were tired of hospital food" Then Logan yells "Yuck"
So I look at Alex "how are you feeling?"
She just says "Little tired but I'm doing better today than yesterday"
I'm about to talk when the door opens and Perry walks in.
"Perry"
"Tobin... Miss Morgan how are you feeling?"
"Well Alex I am going to take you down to get a MRI on that skull of yours."
ALEX POV
They are loading me onto another bed and I look over at Tobin and Logan playing with some cars on the ground all I can do is smile at the interaction between them.
I'm about to close my eyes when I hear
"you know she adores your son."
I chuckled a little "Yeah I can tell and she is so good with him, I'm glad she wants to stay around and spend time with him"
"trust me my sister will not leave your side, she loves to help others its her nature she would rather make sure everyone else is happy before herself but right now she is real happy, she loves to make people smile"
I look at Perry "can I tell you something I love your sisters smile its beautiful"
She starts to laugh a little "Well for awhile she didn't have that smile on her face, because someone broke her heart"
How could anyone break her heart???
"Alright Alex lay still"
I am just laying there thinking again how could anyone break her heart or hurt her, she is so sweet, caring. How should I pay her back dinner? movie? vacation? I can't believe she paid for my rent, called my boss, wonder what else she did?? she is taking care of the most important thing in my life my son.
"Alright Alex we're all finished"
We're heading back to my room I start doze off and I guess I dozed off for awhile because I was woken up by hearing "Alright buddy we need to let you mother sleep, we'll be back tomorrow morning"
I say goodbye and kiss Logan goodbye.
Tobin then walks over to me puts her hand on mine. ( I swear I can feel the spark) "Alex have a good night we will be back in the morning maybe with breakfast" she winks at me then she kisses my forehead (O wow she kissed my forehead I'm pretty sure my heart is beating about a mile a minute)
The next morning Perry walks in and starts talking to me when the door opens it was Tobin and Logan.
"sorry I can come back" Tobin says. "No it's ok you can stay" I say with a smile.
"So yeah your results came back your brain function are working great, no more swollen brain, skull is looking great, your arm is in a sling for a couple more weeks, your ribs are great, vitals are great, we are going to keep you a couple more day to make sure you are keeping things down. "
I started to cry "Thank you, that is great news"
Tobin walked over with a tissue and handed it to me.
So the next couple days flew bye and it was finally ready for me to leave the hospital.
"Alex I think you should stay at my place, till you are 100% better" Tobin said with a smile on her face.
