Day 41
I have been beside Ramon on the hospital bed.
I've cried my eyes out the entire night, praying for him to just wake up... Wake up and talk to me and assure me that this is all just a bad bad nightmare and we should both wake up from it.
The doctors said it's just a wound on his stomach and he'll recover from it for sure. But if he will, why hasn't he opened his eyes yet? Why is he sleeping so quietly on the bed like a corpse.
I want him to fucking wake up!
I am tired from weeping and watching him the entire night.
I start to doze off when someone opens the door.
I turn back to see two nurses walk inside the room. One of them is startled to see me here.
"You're still here?" she asks in total surprise. "You didn't go back home last night?"
I shake my head. "I couldn't."

"Camilla! Up!"Ramon wakes me up.I've not left his side since he woke up yesterday. We've been talking, laughing, eating, dozing. And now I don't know why the hell he's waking me up past midnight."What?""Queen, we have to go!""What!"He gets off the bed and winces, holding his stomach. He starts plucking out the tubes from his hands and gets off the bed."We are going! I'm not spending another minute in here!""But you've not recovered completely..."He shrugs. "It's just a minor wound. It will heal."He reaches for a suitcase under the bed. He seems to be in pain when he places the suitcase on the bed. Inside, he takes out a simple grey T-shirt and a pair of black pants. He takes off the hospital go

I want to sleep some moooooore!" I groan.He lets go of my hand and climbs back on the bed with a frown on his face."Fine! You just want to punish me and our babies every morning with your pathetic muffins. It's fine!"I gasp. "But you said they were perfect!"He growls. "I lied. Thought it was obvious."I throw myself on him and he lets out a groan, wincing."Sorry," I quickly get off his torso when I remember he still has the gun wound."It's nothing," he forces a smile, touching the bandage around the w

"I would really love to have your hair."Marisa threads her little fingers through my hair with this sweet smile on her innocent face as I lie back on the green grass looking at the clear blue sky.I turn to touch her cheek. "Some day you'll have a long brown hair tumbling on your back and it'll be more beautiful than mine..."She scoffs. "I know that's not true.""Why would you say that?""Because that's what everybody keeps saying but I see that look on their faces...""What look?""Like they think I'm going to die."My heart sinks when she says these words and I feel really sad for the little kid.I cup her face in my hands and I look at her."Listen, bestie, you're not going to die.
