Part 49

“I know, I need orange juice to bring my levels up. I don’t care where you stop just find a place; and I need a real first aid kit.”

One minute King was there, the next minute he was gone. I armed myself with the corkscrew I cut my hand with because I was in and out, I guess I had too much blood lose. Well, next time I know, not to cut too dead. When I came too, I saw King, trying to tell him that I needed a hospital but I don’t think he understood or even if I said it out loud. I know in my mind was I screaming I need a hospital, that doesn’t mean I was able to form words when I opened my mouth.

“Queen? Queen?”

I opened my eyes to see King standing over me. You’re going to be alright baby, you lost a lot of blood. We’re at the hospital, they had to give you fifteen stitches, all in the palm of my beautiful hand.

“King, did you hear me say I needed a hospital?”

“No, I checked your pulse and it was weaker than normal.”

I sat up in the bed because now we need to have a real conversation. There’s something wrong that one minute he’s slow as the day is long and the next he knows how to check a pulse and notice that it’s weaker than before. How can he trust someone and don’t see the issues in it?

“King, is there something that you aren’t telling me?”

“I told you everything; except that I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for talking to you the way I did, not trusting you enough to tell you my flaws knowing damn well you would have loved me anyway.”

“Thank you King, I needed to hear that but there is something else, like mental. Is there something mental with you that you aren’t telling me about?”

“Mental, what you think I’m slow?”

“No, I think that you are bright when you want to be, but there are times that you don’t pay attention to what’s going on and you make jacked up decisions.”

“You’re a Doctor now?”

“No, I’m a woman that’s trying to understand the man she loves. Understand how you flipped so fast, one minute you were ready to tell me, the next you were insulting me saying that the ring you proposed to me with was payment for sleeping with you. King that fucking hurt. To have you come in smelling like another woman not even 24 hours after sleeping with me, how do you think that made me feel? Getting me in this mess to possibly be kidnapped again. You are not looking at the big picture sometimes so I know there’s something wrong, either you know about it or you don’t. Either way, before I leave you for good I want you to get tested King. If this is something that you had no control over then we can work something out. If you just make stupid decisions that’s a total different ball game. Either way, you have to be open with me.”

“Sometimes, I can’t focus and instead of walking away like I know I should, I stay, and accept people on the honor system. If they were good to me before I assume they’re going to continue to be that way until I can find what I need to put me back on track. I can’t deal with the feeling of not being about to focus, as quick as something comes in my head it leaves.”

“There’s no honor system in adulthood my love. As much as you would like to believe that, there isn’t. What do you take?”
