Brian looked up as 3 nurses hurried past him.No doctor.Then a nurse rolled a medicine cart past him.He looked up.Still no doctor.Brian sighed.It's been 2 and a half hours and still no word from the doctor.
Brian put his head in his hands.A few tears ran down his cheeks,as the horrible scene replayed in his head,over and over.Brooke standing there,in an over-sized shirt.Her beautiful head slamming into the ground as she passed out.Her bruised,bloody body.The way she was so lifelessly limp in his strong arms.
Quickly,Brian shook the thoughts out of his head.Another group of nurses walked by.Brian looked up.No damn doctor.Then he thought:He had called 911.They came.Put his baby onto a stretcher.Not allowing Brian to ride with them.So he had to drive there,a bundle of nerves,the road blurry from his tears and speeding to keep up with the ambulance.It still doesn't seem real...The swirling lights,the paramedics,the pain that ungulfed Brooke's body.
'Shit,Brian.Stop thinking about it.' Brian scolded himself.He sighed again.He couldn't believe he couldn't get in touch with anyone that knew Brooke.He was in the waiting room alone.Brooke was alone.Brian was all that she had.He had to be there for her.
Brian hoped and prayed that this was all another bad dream.But no,weird things didn't happen.Weird things always happen in Brian's dreams.Like the one where Brooke got hit by the train.At first Brian couldn't find his cell phone,then it magically appeared.This was real.Brian knew how evil Steve could be.Steve?'Wait.' Brian thought. 'Why I am thinking Steve done this?Oh hell no.I bet he did.I am going to kill that fucking bastard!' Anger rose into Brian's body.He felt his ears fire up.
"Mr.Littrell?" Brian looked up.There stood the doctor,clipboard in his hand,stethescope around his neck.Round glasses sat on his nose,behind them his eyes stared expectantly at Brian.
Brian rose from his seat."Yes?" He said,praying that the doctor had good news."Please be seated,Mr.Littrell." Brian sat.'Oh Lord.This can't be good.' Brian thought.
The doctor cleared his throat."Ok.This is a very serious situation,son.Are you sure the girl's parents couldn't be here?" Brian just silently shook his head."I'm all she's got,sir." The doctor nodded. "Well,this is what we have so far.Brooke has very serious wounds.Rope burn on both her wrists and ankles.Fractured collarbone.Gun shot in the hip.Knife cuts on her chest and legs.This is obviously a rape case.The most violent one we've had this year." Brian just sat there,his mouth slightly open.Gun shot? Knife wounds?Rape?
The doctor shifted his weight."We ran some tests and we are not sure,but she could quite possibly have some form of STD or maybe even AIDS.And she could be pregnant.And we ran some tests on the ejaculation we found around Brooke's vaginal area and mouth.We are going to take some tests on the guy that did this after everything clears up a little.I am just more concerned about Brooke right now.We are not sure of anything just yet.We don't have the test results back yet.We can't tell if she is pregnant yet,but we could have givin her a pill to take so she wouldn't get pregnant,but I'm afraid that she's still unconcious.They don't make it in a form of liquid.Besides,we have too many I.V.'s running through her right now."
This wasn't a very good hospital,Brian thought.But he just swallowed hard and nodded."Is she going to be ok?" He asked. The doctor sighed."Well,unfortunately she lost a lot of blood.We are about to take her in for surgery for the bullet wound.We already took care of the knife cuts.There is nothing we can really do about the rope burn.As for the rest,it's all up to her.We just need her to wake up right now.I'll keep you informed." Brian nodded again."Ok,thanks." The doctor just smiled a little and walked out of the waiting room.
Brian just cried uncontrollably.This could not be real.How did he let this happen?Why did he leave her alone? He could have stopped this.Just then Brian's pocket began to vibrate.He jumped,and it took him a second to realize it was his cell phone.He grabbed it and pushed the 'talk' button. "Hello?" He said,putting the phone up to his ear. "Hey,Bri.What's up,man?" It was AJ.Brian sighed. "I'm at the hospital." He replied. "Why?What's wrong?Are you alright?" AJ asked,concerned. Brian took a deep breath and began to explain.Then after his sympathy and condolences,AJ said the boys manager,Cliff,wanted to speak with Brian.
"Where the hell are you?" Cliff screamed into Brian's ear. "You have a million fans,tons of money,and an angry boss waiting here for you.What is your problem??"
Brian took a deep breath."I don't even want to talk about it.I can take time off when I need to.You can't do shit about it.Someone here needs me" He told him,his teeth clenched.He really didn't need this right now.
"Someone needs you?" Cliff questioned,cockily.Then Brian heard AJ talking in the background. "Rape?" Cliff said into the phone."I don't give a damn.I need you here more.Rape is just a four letter word nowadays,son." Brian could feel his face heating up with rage.How could someone be so cold-hearted? "Yea,well not when it happens to someone you love,asshole." He told him,then hanging up on him and shoving the phone back into his pocket.
Brian layed his head in his hands.God,he just needed for his baby to be alright.He couldn't believe this happened.And this time it was for real...
