Bad Luck or is it?

[jessie]

A new story for you Melinda, hope you like it. I miss writing all my stories, I will try to update some of them soon. This came to my mind tonight, hope you like it.

Chapter 1

Melinda lived alone she has been single for two long. She was so lonely she almost called up one of her old boyfriends from her past. She normally felt sorry for guys, and basically dated guys that were no good for her. She was to kind hearted, and she hated always being the one who fought so hard to make the relationship work. She loved her job she worked with handicapped children,and she met some amazing young people. She saw parents that have such dedication to their children, and it made her smile, but it made her sad at the same time. She wanted a family, and children, and it was starting to feel like it would never happen. She wanted life to change, but she knew she had to get out in the world, and forget about her past, and start dating again. She was scared, but she knew if she continued feeling that way she would always be alone, and that was not a option if she wanted to be happy. She grabbed her coat, and left the house, and decided to go for a walk, and just get some fresh air.

She was walking she was thinking, and she basically was not paying attention, and walked right into the street, and a car tried with all their might to stop but couldn't in time, and she was hit. People screamed, and a young lady called 911, but Melinda was laying on the ground barely conscious, but a young man touched her face, and whispered, "Don't worry help is coming, I will not leave you".

"What happened"?

"You were daydreaming I think you walk right out on a red light"

"My legs"

"I think your leg may be broken but don't worry about that"

He held her hand as she shut her eyes, and tried to block out the pain. She heard the ambulance coming, and she heard the man talking to her, but she tried to open her eyes, she saw him again, and all she could think he had the kindest eyes. He held her hand right up until the ambulance came. She heard him telling them to take care of her. They asked him if he knew her but he said no. They left with Melinda, and all she could think about was the kind stranger that took the time to help her. She whispered, "Who was that man"?

"I don't know Mame just a stranger that cared"

"I need to know his name"

"You relax , we gave you something for the pain"

Melinda shut her eyes, and the next thing she knew she was rushed into the hospital, and taken right into surgery. She woke up the next day in a room. Her leg was broken, she had a fracture on his wrist, and she was bruised all over her body. She was hooked up to machines, and she could see a bunch of balloons.

The Nurse smiled, "Oh your awake Sweetie"

"What happened"?

"You had surgery but you will be OK. It will take a while to get back on your feet but it will be OK"

"My family"

"Oh we called your family in Ohio they will be here soon."

"Who left the balloons"?

"A young man came by to ask how you were. He is so sweet he left the balloons, he said he wanted to check up on you. "

"What is his name"?

"He didn't say, let me check out the card"

The nurse walked over, "Oh he didn't leave a name, but he wrote a cute message."

"What"?

"Get well soon, I can't get you out of my mind, remember a Angel was watching over you.

'He didn't say his name"?

"No sorry". She walked away, and Melinda looked at the balloons, and whispered, "Who are you, the man with the gentle, and sweet voice, and kind eyes". Melinda smiled as the medicine kicked in, and she fell asleep.

Chapter 2

Melinda was asleep when a young man walked in, and put flowers, and a get well soon balloon beside her bed. He looked at Melinda, she looked better but still pale, and he hated remembering her on the street after she was hit my a car. He touched her hand, and she moaned but did not open her eyes.

"I hope you feel better soon, I'm so glad the Angels took care of you today. I really don't know anything about you, but I feel a bond to you that will forever be in my heart. I thought I was going to see you leave this world, and I said a prayer, and God answered it, and I will be grateful for that everyday of my life.". He turned just as Melinda's Mother, and Sister came in. Her Mother ran over to the bed, and he whispered, "I was the man that saw her get hit by a car. I just came to make sure she is ok. I will let you go, tell her I was here, and I'm keeping her in my prayers". He left and Beth looked at her Mom, and whispered, "He is so sweet"

"What is his name"?

"I don't know I didn't ask" Beth ran out in the hall, and saw the man get on the elevator. She called out but the door shut, and she wondered if she would ever find out who the man was that helped her little sister. She walked to the room just as Melinda opened her eyes.

"Sweetie it is Mom we came right away. Beth is here too, we were so scared, what happened"?

"I was hit by a car Mom, I don't know what happened, I guess I was daydreaming again"

"Melinda you have to be more careful". Beth smiled, and Melinda smiled at her.

"Oh beautiful flowers you both didn't have to bring them. Just seeing you both makes my day, I have missed you so much"

"Those flowers are not from me, the guy that helped you on the street brought them I think. He was here he said he will keep you in his prayers"

"What is his name"?

"I don't know I ran out to stop him but he was gone before I got a chance"

"Check the card what does it say"?

Beth lifted the card, and read it.

"It says, get well soon, and I will be keeping you in my prayers, and it is signed, Friend"

"Oh man he was here, and I didn't get to see him, and thank him"

"Hush Sweetie you may meet him again, I'm just happy your OK, and I want you to come home with me"

"Mom I miss you but I'm not leaving here besides I have a wonderful job, and I love working with the children, It was just a accident"

"I know but you need your family you live alone, and I hate that"

Beth whispered, "Mom she doesn't need a lecture she needs rest why don't we go down, and get a coffee"

Melinda smiled at Beth she knew her Mom loved her but she was not going to give up what made her happy. Beth, and her Mom left, and Melinda touched the flowers, and whispered, "Who are you, I need to thank you my friend". She smiled as she fell asleep looking at the flowers, and the balloon wondering who the mystery stranger was, and if she would ever see him again.

Chapter 3

Melinda woke up finding Beth sitting beside her in a chair reading a book.

"Beth where is Mom"?

"She needed her beauty sleep she is at the hotel she will come tonight to visit"

"My Mystery Stranger brought those flowers, I don't even know who he is"

"Well Melinda he is cute, and sweet me, and Mom met him while you were out"

"What did he look like"?

"Average looking but he has kind eyes, and a cute little laugh, and a sweet smile, and he is charming Melinda."

"He wrote the note but didn't leave his name, I don't get it. How is a girl suppose to thank him if he doesn't leave a name"

"Well he is a good Samaritan, and most of those people don't want to be thanked they are just happy to help someone. We are grateful to him, but who knows he might come back Melinda he came back twice"

"I hope so I want to thank him in person"

"Melinda are you seeing someone special or are you single still"?

"You know I'm single my work is my life, and of course I would like a boyfriend, but I have tried, but I pick the wrong ones all the time"

"Maybe this guy is single wouldn't that be nice"

"Beth get your head out of the clouds, and I bet he is married all the good one are"

"Melinda do you ever want to move back to Ohio to be close to us, we can take care of you"?

"I can take care of myself, but I promise I will visit more often. You can always come for more visits too, I have a spare room why don't you, and Mom go there, and book out of the Hotel"

"Well that is a good idea, it would save us money so I can do more shopping before we go home"

Melinda smiled, "I hope I'm out of here soon so we can spend time together before you go back to Ohio"

"You know Mom won't leave you until your feeling better so we may be here a couple of weeks you might get sick of us"

"Never"

The Nurse walked in, and smiled as a Man walked into the room, and Melinda just knew it was him.

"Hi it is nice seeing your awake, how are you feeling"?

"Good thank you for the lovely flowers, and everything you did for me"

"I have been so worried about you, it is nice seeing you sitting up, and smiling"

"I'm Melinda this is my Sister Beth we don't know your name"

"Oh I'm sorry I'm Woody". He reached over shaking her hand, and shook her Sisters hand too.

"Woody cute name" Beth said

"Yeah I know it is a little strange but I like it"

"I'm so grateful for what you did for my Sister"

"I did what every person should do when someone is in danger."

Beth smiled , "Maybe when my Sister is feeling better we can treat you to dinner"

"That would be nice or you can come to the Bar I work at. You would love it there my friends are wonderful, you would have a great time there"

Melinda smiled, "We would like that Woody"

"Maybe I should let you rest, but would you mind if I come back tomorrow to check on you"

"Sure that would be lovely"

Woody walked over giving Melinda a kiss on her cheek, and smiled as she smiled back. He said goodbye to Beth, and left the room.

Beth smiled, "Oh man he is adorable even his name is adorable"

"He is cute"

"I didn't see a ring on his finger either"

"Beth that doesn't mean anything"

"It means maybe he is the one"

Melinda laid back, and whispered, "Maybe he is".
