Secluded Affair

Chapter 13

Possible Trigger warning on this chapter

You wake up the following day and reach out for Jon, but the bed is cold and empty, so you lay there for a few minutes just savouring the quiet morning, the sound of chirping birds outside. You pull your lazy ass out of bed, pop your head through the door, and shout to see if Jon is in the house; then you get no response and decide to get ready for the day. You hop in the shower singing some tune while washing your hair and body. You get out and begin your morning ministrations, and head to the closet to get your clothes for the day. Just as you get to the closet, you hear a noise coming from another part of the villa.

"Jon, is that you? I'm in my bedroom getting ready," you shout through the house to him.

You hear the bedroom door opening, and as you stand up, you are hit around the head with something big and heavy. You see stars, and then everything goes black.

"What the fuck, man, why did you knock her out?" one male voice speaks.

"She's not meant to be here; it's meant to be empty," another voice says.

"Doesn't mean to say you had to knock her out, now what are you doing?"

"Moving her to the bed," he says as you feel him pick you up off the floor; you land unceremoniously on the bed.

"Fuck this shit, I'm going to see what I can find," the second voice says, and you hear one set of footsteps retreating away from you.

Hands grab your wrists, pull your arms above your head, and restrain them; he climbs on top of you, straddling your hips. His grubby hands are pawing all over your body. He's not gentle in touching you, he leans down to your face, and you can feel his stale alcohol-laden breath fanning all over your face.

"OOH, the things I can do with a little thing like you."

"Get the fuck off of me", You scream in your head.

He continues his assault over your body, fingers trailing up and down your body, his head in the crook of your neck as he whispers unintelligible mumblings to you.

"Fuck, we gotta go. Someone is coming" You hear the other voice shout.

The man jumps off of you, and you hear footsteps running away from you. You are left lying on the bed, completely naked and unconscious. You can still hear and feel but nothing else.

"Hey baby, I'm back where you at?" you hear Jon shout, as his footsteps can be heard moving through the house. He opens all the doors; he opens the door as he gets closer to your room.

"Cori, baby, are you... Ohhhhh fuck, fuck, fuck baby, what happened?" he yells as he sees you tied to the bed and not moving. He runs over to the bed and unties your wrists, and places a blanket over you. He picks up your head and realises there is something wet and sticky on his hand; he pulls his hand out and sees the blood.

"Baby, wake up, come on, can you hear me," his voice is distraught as he tries in vain to wake you. "I'll be right back, baby. I'm going to ring an ambulance; I'll be right back.

You hear him running towards the kitchen and panic, shouting down the phone to the operator. A few minutes later, he's back from the kitchen and sitting next to you, gently holding your hand, still begging you to wake up.

"Cori, baby, wake up, please. Come on, honey, I need you to open those beautiful eyes for me. Please, baby, I need you to wake up." he places light kisses on your cheek. You can feel the wet tears running down his face.

A knock at the door has him moving away from you.

"Follow me", you hear Jon shout, followed by footsteps heading your way.

Jon gives his account of how he found you to the paramedics, the start moving around you, sticking things onto your arms and chest noises from machines beeping in the background.

"Miss Ross, can you hear me?" a female voice asks. She busies herself doing whatever she's doing.

"Right, we need to get her on a C-spine stretcher and the on to the gurney in the ambulance."

"Jon, we will need your help if that's ok." Jon agrees, and they get to work, hands pushing and pulling at me, making me move, then I feel trapped. All my limbs are tied down.

I'm guessing I'm in the back of the ambulance; I can feel the paramedic attaching things to me and pricking me with a needle and something cold running up my arms. I can feel the ambulance moving. A warm hand takes mine, and a thumb rubs circles onto its back.

"Cori, if you can hear me, please wake up" you hear the pain and anguish in Jon's voice. Your heart is breaking for him.

"I can hear Ya, Jonny, I'm trying, but I can't", You answer back in your head.

Before now, all you have to feel is a throbbing sensation in the back of your head, but now it begins to pound really hard, and sharp blinding pain is beginning to spread all over your head.

You hear the paramedic say you have arrived at the hospital. You feel the rush of air flowing over your body as the gurney sweeps through the hospital. You hear the paramedic reel of your information and a load of stats before new voices start shouting for things and speaking to you—more poking and prodding things attaching to you, machines beeping making the pain in your head worse.

"Right, I need to get an MRI scan of her head and spine to see what's going on", You heard a voice say over the top of the other voices. Then, you feel yourself being moved again, air whooshing over the top of you. You hear more voices talking, and you feel yourself being jostled around again. This time, whatever you are lying on moves slowly, and a machine makes a right Hally racket the closer you get. It feels like forever you have been inside this noise; finally, you are back out, and the noise stops, but you are being jostled around and moving back through the air again. Finally, you stop moving; then you hear the one voice you longed to hear.

"Hey baby, I hope you were behaving for the nurses. You going to wake up yet?"

"Jonny, I can hear you, but I'm so tired, the pain in my head is too much; I love you," you say to yourself, hoping Jon can hear you.

"They're going to move you up to a ward soon, baby. I'm not sure what one. I've just heard snippets of information as the nurses pass."

I don't know how long has passed with Jon talking about random stuff and nurses coming in and out, icy stuff rushing through my veins, the pain in my head has eased off a little. But, I feel all sorts of movement and air whizzing over me again. Guess I'm being shipped off to the new ward.

The whooshing feeling has finally stopped. However, the constant beeping machines are back and causing my head to hurt more, making the machines beep faster and louder. 

"Mr Bongiovi, the police are here to see you." you hear a female say to Jon.
