《Lieutenant Garrett》Bang

Chapter Thirteen
Bang
Later that day, after we had finished our pancakes and went to Chris's place to get him some clean clothes, we drove back to the hospital to see mum.
Chris and I walked into room 512 and saw that mum wasn't there.
"Hi we're looking for Rebecca Collins?" I asked the receptionist.
"Are you family?" she asked.
"Yes I'm her daughter and this is my fiancée"
"Alright she's upstairs in room 627"
"Thank you so much" I smiled sweetly.
Chris lit up when I called him my fiancée even though he knew that we weren't engaged. I only said he was my fiancée so that he could come in to see mum and I knew how much he wanted to see her.
"Well played" he smirked.
"Thanks love" I laughed.
We reached room 627 and Dr. Phillips was standing outside of the room as if he had been waiting for us.
"Hello Miss Collins. Mr. Garrett. I have some bad news about your mother I'm afraid"
"What happened? Is she alright?" Chris asked concerned. He cared for her so much and I loved him for it.
"Well she was doing really well yesterday but last night, she slipped into a coma"
The tears started pouring from my eyes and Chris held me trying to hold back his own tears.
"Is she going to wake up?" Chris asked slightly angered.
"Well we aren't sure at this point Mr. Garrett"
"Can we go in and see her?" I asked weepily.
"Of course"
"Thank you so much Dr. Phillips" Chris said as we walked into the room.
As soon as we stepped in, Chris's grip on me tightened and I felt one of his tears fall onto my shoulder. I turned and wrapped my arms around his torso, burying my head in his chest.

Chris and I were standing in room 627 holding each other close as we stared in disbelief at my mother.
Her skin was pale and she looked like someone had drained all of the life out of her.
Seeing her in this state made my heart swell.
I didn't want to think about having to deal with this when Chris left.
After about two hours of sitting in the room waiting to see if she would wake, Chris and I decided to head home.
I had reached the house and was walking into the living room when I collapsed in a fit of tears and sobs.
"Baby are you alright?" Chris asked when he walked in and saw me curled up on the floor.
"No....I'm....not....my....mum....is....in....a....coma....and....I'm....going....to....have....to....deal...with....it....without....you....in....two....days" I said in between sobs.
He sat down behind me and pulled me into his arms rocking me back and forth as I cried.
"I know it sucks baby doll. I know. But you're just like her. Strong and brave. She's going to get through this and so are you. I know it's going to be awful while I'm gone but everything gets worse before it gets better" he placed a delicate kiss on my forehead.
"But....you are going off to......the army and you could die!! And mum could die too!! I...I...can't lose two of the most important people in my life"
"Shhhh I know honey I know. But while I'm gone, you will have Lena and Kara and Addison as well! Addison will love you I know it" he comforted "and you and I are going to write those letters to each other remember? And Skype every night okay? I promised I'd come back for you and I don't plan on breakin that promise"

"But what if the universe breaks that promise? You can't promise anything in the army. Anything."
"Yes you can. I promised my buddy that I would get him out of the plane. And I promised Addie I would always come back. I promised my mum and dad I would stay here and take care of you and Addison. And look how those turned out. I got him out of the plane, I always came back for Addison, and I am going to let the most important promise crumble alright?" he said tears filling his beautiful eyes.
"Alright" I muttered.
"I love you so much and you know that. I'll always come back for you" he soothed.
"I love you too" I said. He kissed me on the top of my head and continued rocking me back and forth.
"C'mere" he scooped me up in the his strong arms and carried me to the couch. He sat down with his back against the arms of the couch and sat me so that both of his legs were on either side of me and my side was resting on his chest.
He wrapped his arms around me and whispered soothing words into my ear.
After I calmed down, he flicked on the TV and we watched Beauty and the Beast.
Once that was finished we continued to watch old Disney films until I could no longer keep my eyes open and drifted into a deep sleep.
And then, another nightmare.
I was standing among the soldiers in the army but I wasn't fighting. It was like I was just there to watch something happen.
My beautiful Lieutenant Garrett appeared and was calling out orders to the troops.
And then it happened.
Bang.
And he fell to the ground.

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
