urforgettable day ( amy)

DESPITE living in a dangerous neighborhood I never imagined that one day I would be faced with a situation like the one I am in now, I look terrified at the man sitting in a pool of blood, his own blood, he is still awake but his breathing is very irregular, his skin pale as wax, my will is to run out of that dirty alley and leave him there, but my conscience does not allow me such a cowardly attitude, he is a human being, I cannot just turn my back and leave him there to die. How human would you be if you did this?

I take my cell phone out of my purse and type a text message on w******p sending it to my friend who shares an apartment with me, she is my last hope at the moment, luckily the answer came quickly, short and direct.

" I'm going "

I noticed that the man's wound was bleeding a lot, so I took an extreme attitude. I took off his light blue dress shirt and, bundling it up, I put it over his wound and held it until my friend arrived.

I smile when I hear the familiar horn from my friend's car, she parks the car at the end of the alley and then walks over to us, her reaction to seeing the man shot was very similar to mine.

__ holy god amy..

I moved my hands slightly telling her the basics she nodded.

__ WE HAVE to get out of here quickly.she said.

Reaching down she cupped the man's face making him look at her.

___    hello  I'm  Dafne I'll try to help_ you, tell me can you walk?

___ I can try. He said.

So she held him on one side and I on the other the man managed to stand up leaning on both of us, it was painful such an action he moaned nonstop just like the two of us, that man was a mountain of muscle he almost broke our shoulders by supporting us both.

___ the car is right there you just have to walk there..

He put an arm around my neck and the other around Dafne's and so leaning on both of us he managed to walk to the car I opened the back door of the car and he got in, leaning against the upholstery of the armchair, I sat down in front of the side of Daphne who stepped on the accelerator.

___ I will take you to a hospital..

The man who had his eyes closed opened them when he heard Daphne's speech.

___ hospital not...

___ what do you want then we let you bleed to death.

___ if they hospitalize me who did this to me, they will finish the job.

Daphne and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do with that stranger now.

___ so what do we do?

__ please no hospital,

This was his last word he fainted, I let out what would have been a scream but without a sound.

__ did he die?

I moved my hands forming the answer to Daphne's question:

"Probably he just passed out from the blood loss."

___ we're going to have to take_ him to the hospital...

I shook my head in denial, I remembered the man's persistent resistance to not going and for some reason that I didn't understand I thought it was right to comply with his request, I touched Dafne's shoulder causing her to look away from the street and look at me, so I moved slightly hands she let out a curse.

___ Damn Amy, slow down with this I didn't understand anything..

When she was nervous, she had the habit of moving her hands very quickly and my friend always complained, it wasn't as if she was an expert in pounds, in fact her knowledge in the area was quite vague, she knew some signs due to her coexistence with me, so I was forced to correct her my previous gesture.

___ do you want us to take you home? incredulous question

I nodded affirmatively and the man in the back seat groaned loudly, he had woken up from his fainting spell.

When we finally got home we were faced with a second problem, there was no elevator but stairs and we lived on the fourth floor.

___ screwed Amy...

Irritated, I kicked the car's tire, if I could have spoken I would have uttered a terrible curse word, I pressed my face against the cold iron and stayed like that for a long time until a crazy idea crossed my mind and without saying anything to Daphne I ran up to the second floor hitting the door soon bob's wrinkled face appeared in front of me, he was the oldest tenant here in the building.

___ girl amy did something happen?

I started moving my hands trying to tell him what I wanted.

__ I'm not understanding anything..

Not caring about appearing rude I entered his house going straight to the laundry room he followed me confused then I pointed to the wheelbarrow leaning against the wall.

___ do you want the wheelbarrow?

I shook my head affirmatively and he smiled kindly handing me the cart and I went down as quickly as possible pushing the cart daphne looked at me in distress

___What a delay in Amy I thought I was left here with the dying man.

"Don't be silly"

I signaled with my fingers and dafne smiled broadly, with work we put the man lying down inside the cart he moaned in pain, it took us hours to climb the stairs pushing the cart one hour I pushed in another dafne and by the sounds that the man made such a climb neither it was being pleasurable for him, finally at home we helped him get up from the stroller and we took him to my bed which was the closest, I cleaned and disinfected the whole wound.

___ call the doctor..he said

___ no doctor will come here at this time and we also don't have money to pay for this we wanted to take him to the hospital.

Looking precisely at me he asked me.

__ Take my cell phone out of my pocket..

I put my hand in his pocket, pulling out a state-of-the-art cell phone. I handed it to him and he did the same with the password and dialed a number.

___ Mendonça speaking..

___ need your services now..

__ where are you Montenegro.

He looked at me again, his eyes, although dull, were intense:

___ what address?

Daphne answered for me luckily, I don't think he knew Libra, the doctor on the other end of the line said:

__ I'll be there in an hour..

He turned off the phone and I took it from his hands and placed it on the nightstand.

__ do you have a private physician? Inquire daphne

___ He ​​is my family doctor…

__ don't you want me to call someone in your family?

__Better not, just help me so that when I get out of this, I will reward you both very well.

Dafne and I looked at each other, we knew by the size that it was someone important, but how important would it be?

__ is no longer bleeding! said said...

Fortunately the bleeding had stopped, I had noticed this when I cleaned and disinfected the wound, about forty-five minutes later the bell rang daphne ran to answer it soon two very well dressed men carrying medical bags entered my small room.

___ what was the madness of Montenegro time?

The man on the bed smiled at the older man, it was a strained smile and he could tell by his tense complexion that he was in pain.

___ I got shot Mendonça

I saw that Mendonça bend over and meticulously examine the hole in the man's abdomen.

__will need surgery Montenegro we will have to remove _ it immediately to my clinic.

___ I'm not going to any clinic do what you want to do right here.

__ do not be hardheaded you run the risk of dying. .

____ I….

I took the man's hand between mine, squeezing it firmly, his gaze came to mine an opaque glow there, I wanted to have a voice to speak but since I didn't I just moved my lips saying even without sound the word "go".

He understood the word and then, looking at Doctor Mendonça, he nodded and then the two men lifted him up and took him away before leaving, he promised to come back to reward us.

Finally alone at home without that fuss, we threw ourselves on the sofa and stared at the pale ceiling without saying anything, I was emotionally drained.

___ unforgettable day in amy?

I sighed deeply, really this had been a day that would stay in my memory.
