A Means To An End 5

……..without you everything just falls apart
it’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces.

Ch 8

It’s like the beginning to that ridicules movie 2001 A Space Odyssey.

 There is nothing….just this blackness and a roaring sound. When I finally come to there is light. It’s the flashlight of a fireman responding to the self inflicted accident Carmen and me created. Am I alright the guy asks. I look at him for the longest time not sure how exactly to answer that. He asks me if I know where I am or what my name is, if there is someone he should call. I don’t answer him and look over to the sidewalk and see a woman giving Carmen some bottled water. I unbuckle the seatbelt against the fireman’s wishes and I open the busted door to John’s car and feel the world spin around on me. 

Carmen runs over to see if I am ok. And I have to say that I am surprised. With her help and the fireman’s we walk over to the curb and the woman who offered Carmen the water comes over to check me out.

Flash of light in my eyes. Blood pressure normal. Cuts, bruises and a tear maybe even a possible dislocation to my shoulder. That explained that burning searing pain I felt in my shoulder. I might have a concussion that would make like three…or is it four? Hmmm…… anyway I should get in the ambulance and we should go to the hospital or something like that. It’s what the lady says.

Carmen sits next to me not a scratch. Fuck. She is smiling big and bright. She kisses my bruises. She licks my chin. I could feel everyone around staring at the odd pair we make. She has her arms wrapped around my neck we are kissing hot and insanely fevered. The lady goes to get a stretcher. I wasn’t sure who it was for given our bizarre behavior. Carmen changes her position and is lying between my legs pushing me till I lay on the street. We kiss and kiss. The slow motions her body makes trying so hard to make me come from this feeling alone is interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
