Mateos POV
I can't breathe. My heart isn't beating. It can't.
"Rue!" I finally mange to yell out as I run over to her body. Blood is everywhere.
I pull her close to my chest. I feel for a pulse and I sigh when I feel one. Its weak but it's there. One of my men who are standing near me looking at Rue in utter disbelief, I don't know if its that she is still alive or that she just killed a man.
"Give me your jacket." I tell him which he listens. I throw the jacket over Rue. "Listen to me closely." He nods. I don't once look at him I just keep my eyes on Rue. "You find my son. Tell him you work for me and tell him that I took his mother to the hospital and you bring him to the hospital." He nods and start heading deeper into the house to search for Luca.
"Stay strong Rue." I tell her as I stand up and start running out of the house and to the closest car I can find. I get in and I tell the drive to floor it to the nearest hospital. The driver obeys and takes off never once touching his break. After 2 minutes of driving we have 3 cops following us trying to get us to pull over but I tell my driver to keep driving. Rue is more important.
I look down at her unconscious body and can't help but brush a loose strand of her behind her ear.
God, please fight Rue.
I whisper to her.
The driver stops infront of the emergency room which I open the door with Rue in my arms and sprint into the hospital, cops hot on my heels. They soon stop when they get a glance of Rue, they don't leave but they don't follow.
"Help!" I yell out which gets the attention of 4 nurses. All their eyes widen as they see Rue. One of them grab a stretcher, another one hurries and calls a doctor, and two hurries towards me. Asking questions like what happened, how long has she been like this, who did it. All of which I ignored. They soon took her from me and started to roll her away which I tired to follow but two of them held me back. When they realized they couldn't keep me back the 4 cops came over and grabbed me.
They pulled me back and into a chair. They started to ask me questions and I answered them all with one worded answers as I went back and forth between the doors they just wheeled Rue through and the main doors waiting.
"Sir, are you waiting for someone?" The taller cop asked me as he tried to get my attention.
I only nod as I look back to the double doors that Rue went through 7 minutes ago.
"Daddy!" I hear which causes me to snap my head towards the main doors.
2 weeks. 2 weeks since I have seen my baby boy and there he is running to me. I stand up and push the cops away as I hurry towards Luca and sweep him into my arms. I hold him tight against my body and I try so hard not to cry.
Luca pulls back and looks at me, "Is mommy okay?" He asks me.
I don't answer as I run a hand across the side of his head pushing his hairs down.
He looks down at my shirt and frowns.
"That mommys blood isn't it?" He asks pointing at my blood covered shirt.
I nod as I watch his eyes turn from worried to scared.
"She is gonna be okay right?" He manages to ask as he swallows the lump in his throat.
"Of course buddy. You mom is strong." I tell him.
He nods as he wraps his arms around my neck and just hugs me. I wrap my arms around him and walk over to the police officers.
"Is this the person you have been waiting for?" A officer with black hair and grey eyes ask.
"Yes." I answer plainly.
He nods as he writes something then pauses. He is about to speak but I stop him.
"Can you guys ask me questions another time. Like not when my sons mother is on the verge of death?" I ask them and they all just nod and leave.
I sit down on the chair Luca still in my arms. I lean my head back and look up at the ceiling and whisper very quietly,
"Don't leave us Rue."
