I woke up to the sound of steady beeping. I could tell I was on some major painkillers because the pain in my chest was dull and my vision was funneled. I heard breathing, it wasn't labored like mine. I turned my head towards it and my heart rate sped up. He was sitting across from the hospital bed.
He looked at me and smiled.I reached my hand to the nurse button but he pushed it away
"Now now, be nice you wouldn't want to get hurt"
I began to cry and nce again my heart rate monitor sped up even more so than the last time. A nurse walked in the room.
"Is everything alright miss"
I nodded.
"I just have to pee is all and it hurts to get up"
She helped me up and we walked to the bathroom very unsteadily. I looked at the nurse my eyes welling with tears. I lowered my voice to a very low whisper.
"Get a security gaurd please, I'm here because the man in that chair abused me"
The nurses eyes widened as I whispered to her. She nodded and walked out as if I had said nothing out of the ordinary. I locked the door in extreme fear for my safety.
After a few minutes there was yelling and cursing. I stood up against the wall shaking hard and weeping softly. After a few minutes there was a yelling and cursing and a scream. I put my ear up to the door and stepped in something cold and liquidy. I looked down and almost gagged on my scream. It was blood. Was it the nurses blood? And he was still there I could hear his breathing. My knees buckled underneath me and I crashed to the ground in a pile of sobs and dry heaves. My rust colored hair fell over my eyes and the cuts on my arms ripped open from the stress of the fall.
There was a chair in the bathroom I nudged it tightly under the rattling door handle and hoped for the best. After a few minutes I looked up to the ceiling and clasped my hands together.
"Dear God, I know I haven't been the best at keeping up a healthy relationship with my church and.. and you. But I do believe and I need help. They say you work in mysterious ways and that miracles are all around us. So please, if you could help me I promise, no I swear to G- well, you that I will be more faithful in my religion. Please help me"
I lifted my head and there it was, my little miracle. The nurse string hung from the wall next to the toilet and I crawled over to it with as much speed as I could. I pulled it and used what was left to yell hoping for the best.
"Help! Help Me! He's trying to kill mke!"
I heard him curse and then footsteps pounded towards me.
"Please let this work."
I heard screaming and then a gunshot. All the blood rushed to my head and I panted as I tried not to pass out.
