Broken Lungs
What are you doing here?
Monica's P.O.V
I was told by my boss yesterday that I could go back home early for doing such a great job at work. They told me I had a flight back to Texas today in the morning so I made sure to wake up as early as possible so I could get to the airport in time.
-Flashback-
I sighed as another boring day of work went by slowly but was finally at an end as I finished up the stack of paper work. I checked the time to see it was time for me to clock out and leave. I had opened the program to clock out of on my computer and just as I was typing in my login info, I saw my boss Chase walking over to my cubicle.
"Hey Monica, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked me.
"Sure thing Chase, what's going on?" I stopped typing and turned to face him seeing a big smile on his face.
"I just wanted to let you know, you've done an excellent job these past 2 months and we wouldn't be where we're at right now if it weren't for you. I know I told you you'd be here for 3 months but since you've got us all caught up, actually you put us ahead; you get to go back home to Texas a month sooner than expected" he said smiling at me.
"Oh my god, are you serious?" I asked excitedly and smiling widely as he chuckled.
"Yes, Monica, I'm serious. That and I know how much you've really missed your daughter, Melissa" he said smiling sadly. It was true though, I've missed my baby girl more than anything, this is the longest I've had to be away from her. He held out his hand for me to shake and I gladly took it.
"Thank you, so much, Chase" I said to him with tears brimming my eyes. He nodded his head smiling.
"Thank you, Monica, if it weren't for you we wouldn't be where we're at right now. We'd actually be knee deep in shit if it weren't for you" he said before chucking.
"Your flight back is in the morning so you wouldn't have to wait another day. It was an honor getting to work with you and hopefully I get to again someday, maybe even see about bringing your daughter next time. You have a safe trip home, Monica" he said handing me my plane ticket and smiling before he walked away.
I had the goofiest smile on my face for the rest of the day. Once I had got off work I headed back to the hotel seeing it was only 6:15 p.m. I decided to clean up the room to the way it looked before and packed all my things back into my suitcases. After that I took a quick shower then hopped right into bed falling asleep with a big smile on my face. 'I can't wait to see my smelly melly tomorrow' I thought to myself before falling deep into sleep.
--------------------
I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm going off, I groggily pressed the snooze button and squinted my eyes to the bright red numbers on the alarm that read 6:15 a.m.
"Shit!" I said as I quickly got out of bed and getting dressed into a plain black tee, blue jean capris and sneakers. I tied my hair up into a ponytail then quickly made the bed before grabbing my bags and heading out the door with them and my cell phone. I made my way to the elevator waiting as it slowly made its way down to the lobby. I went to the front desk giving them the key to the room and checking out. They had a cab ready for me outside so when I got out there the man took my bags putting them in the trunk then got back in the drivers seat.
"Airport please" I said smiling at the man and he nodded. We made it within half an hour and once I got there I paid him and got out with him as he helped get my bags out for me again.
"Thank you!" I yelled back to him as I quickly made my way inside and over to where you buy your tickets. I had to pay for my other bags that wouldn't be going with me which were just 2 so all I had to carry with me was my purse. After they took my bags I went over to the security line looking to see the time said 7:15 a.m. My flight was in another 30 minutes and I at least need to be at my gate 15 minutes before then. The security line lasted surprisingly long, about a good 10 minutes. After I went through I got my jewelry back along with my purse and ticket and headed over to my gate that the guard pointed towards.
I sat down on a small couch near the line for my flight. I was being pretty impatient, only because I wanted to be home already and see my little MNM and her crazy blue hair. Her hair is one of the main reasons I call her that now but before it was just because I made her initials that way. M&M's are my favorite thing ever, so when I found out I was pregnant with her from her daddy I was excited. Seeing his last name was Medina I thought of a first and middle name that would make her my sweet little chocolate drop. Then Melissa came to mind along with Nicole, I had always liked both those names so I put the two together and made her Melissa Nicole Medina or also known as my MNM. Hehe.
As I saw more people line up I decided to do the same seeing as there was only 10 minutes left anyways. Five minutes later they started letting us get onto the plane as I awaited patiently my turn then finally the attendant asked for my ticket. I handed it to her with my license, since they asked, and she handed it back to me approving. I walked down the long terminal and getting to the plane door as another flight attendant greeted me looking at my ticket for my seat number.
"You're right here up at the front, miss revillas" she said nicely smiling and gesturing to a first class seat near the window.
"Thank you" I said before walking to my seat and sitting down. I watched as the other people boarded on the plane for the next remaining few minutes till they closed the door giving us the usual speech before taking off. I decided to take a nap for the plane ride home so it would pass by quicker.
It was 9:20 once we landed I got out after a few people and was capable of grabbing my bags and going outside. I took in a deep breath of the fresh air I remembered as my home.
"Home sweet home" I muttered to myself as I took out my car keys and walking to the parking garage where my little silver 2013 elantra sat for 2 months. I put my bags in my trunk and got into the drivers seat putting the key in the ignition and starting it up. The drive home lasted about 20 minutes. I had parked turning off the car and getting out with my purse going to the trunk to take out my 2 bags and closing it again. I excitedly ran to my apartment door unlocking it and walking inside seeing nothing on.
"Melllll?" I called through out the small apartment as I closed the door locking it behind me.
"I'm homeee! Smelly melly, are you not here?" I asked walking towards her room seeing some of her stuff gone. I got concerned when I saw a bit of her clothes, laptop, her kitten Max and her giant duffle bag gone. Hmm, maybe she was still in New York? I walked back out into the living room taking out my phone about to call her till something took me by surprise.
"Well hello, Monica. You're home early" an evil voice said from behind me. 'I know that demonic voice anywhere' I thought to myself as I turned to see none other than Alex standing just a few feet away from me.
"What are you doing here, Alex? How did you even get it?" I asked him sternly. This low life had nothing better to do than make my daughter cry every day once they started dating and always found a way to rip her smile right off her face.
"Getting in is none of your concern. I'm here, however, for your daughter but seeing as shes run off, I guess I can finally do what I've always wanted to ever since you annoyingly started coming before me to her and came between us" he said starting to walk towards me. I tried to turn and bolt for the door but felt myself being pulled by my ponytail and fell to my back.
"And where do you think you're going? We're just getting started" he said as he grinned down at me and grabbing me by the collar of my shirt. He swung his fist connecting it with my cheek, punch after punch I felt like my face was on fire. He kicked me multiple times in my stomach to where I started coughing up blood. After a while he yanked me up from the ground and threw me to the wall cupping a hand over my mouth as I tried to call out for help. I tried my hardest to push him away as he pulled me to where he was holding me from behind with one arm restraining my arms so I couldn't punch at him anymore and the other hand still over my mouth. At this point I was crying in hopes he'd let me go finally, but that just made things worse.
"Shh shh Monica, it'll all be over soon. Don't worry it'll only hurt for a while then you'll feel nothing" he whispered into my ear causing me to whimper and struggle against his tight grip again. The next thing I knew he had a pocket knife placed to my throat.
"She's mine and only mine" he said just before I was capable of slightly moving my head up to bite his hand as hard as I could. I even drew a bit of blood from him but I didn't care. I tried to scream as loud as I could so Vanessa could hear me but was cut off shortly by him placing a cloth over my mouth and nose. I felt myself starting to slip into unconsciousness.
"Monica?" I heard our next door neighbor Vanessa ask outside my door worriedly before she knocked.
"Shut up" he said to me sternly, I pushed my feet backwards with as much force moving us to where he landed on one of the small tables knocking over the lamp. 'Yes' I thought as I felt myself slip more and more.
"Monica?!" Vanessa shouted at my door as she started to bang on my door. I heard her dog barking too. I heard the jingling of the doorknob as she tried to get in.
"Hold on, Monica! I'm calling the police right now!" She yelled before I started hearing sirens faintly in the distance. I heard Alex growl in frustration before he quickly stabbed me in my shoulder making me shriek in pain although it was muffled by his hand and threw me back to the ground.
"You're lucky this time, Monica. Don't worry, I'll get you next time though and your daughter too" he said winking at me as he started making his way to the door but stopped. He turned back to me and took my cell phone.
"I know you have her new number so if you don't mind I'll just take this from you so I can get a hold of the little bitch and let her know the perfect condition you're in" he said as he grinned and ran out the door knocking vanessa back onto the concrete. I heard her dog growl and Alex yell, must've bit him. I started getting lightheaded as my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
"QUICK, IN HERE, WE NEED AN AMBULANCE" I heard Vanessa yell before everything went black.
I was told by my boss yesterday that I could go back home early for doing such a great job at work. They told me I had a flight back to Texas today in the morning so I made sure to wake up as early as possible so I could get to the airport in time.
