Beautiful Apparation (Tony Perry FF)

fourty-eight

My eyes flutter open and the first thing I notice is the white ceiling. I don't even need to look around to realize I'm in a hospital room. What the hell happened? I observe my body, no bruises or physical injuries. The only thing that really does hurt is my head.

"Hello?" I call out. My door's slightly ajar so someone has to hear me.

A female nurse walks in.

"Oh, you're awake. Lovely, I'll go get the doctor." She walks right back out and I wait impatiently.

Five minutes later the same nurse and a taller man enter the room. "Hello Audrey, I'm Dr.Jones, you can call me by my first name, Pete. So, do you remember anything?"

"No," I answer somewhat honestly. I remember hearing Tony. Maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up, it could've been my mind just playing tricks on me.

"Well to make it simple, you suffered from alcohol poisoning. That bump on your head was an accident. As you passed out from the increased alcohol in your blood, your head hit the tub. Nothing serious, it'll heal up soon."

He makes it sound so harmless. I freaking knocked myself out from drinking too much!

"So I can go home? Wait, who brought me here?" I sure as hell know I didn't pick myself up.

"Danielle Fuentes, your neighbor. She found you passed out," He explains.

"Is she still here?" I ask anxiously.

"Yes, I'll bring her in right now. Notify me when you are getting ready to leave."

I nod my hurting head as him and the nurse exit the room. I anticipate the moment Danielle walks through that door. She must know something I don't. Finally, it opens and she walks in, locking the door behind her.

"Hey, you're looking better," She smiles. "Now what the hell were you thinking?" Well that escalated quickly.

"How did you find me?" I immediately ask, ignoring her question.

She takes deep breath. "I didn't, Tony did. He came to my house and told me."

So I wasn't hallucinating. He was there. I felt myself getting more anxious.

"Where is he?"

"He's not coming back Audrey."

"Then why did he come to my house in the first place?"

"He sensed you were in trouble. He only came to help you because no one else was around. And what the hell Audrey? While I was on the floor trying to snap you the hell out of it, I saw an Ouija board underneath your bed."

"I thought it-"

"No Audrey, those are dangerous. Never play with it again. Promise me."

I sigh, "Fine, I'll promise, only if you tell me where Tony went."

"How the hell am I supposed to know that Audrey?"

Okay, maybe I'm being a little bit over dramatic. At least I know how to get Tony's attention now.

After Lynn and Danielle lectured me about drinking alone with that big of a bottle, I feel like shit. I don't really know why I did it, out of grief I guess. I don't regret it though, because I was able to hear Tony's voice again.

"Are you even listening?" Danielle asks frustrated.

"Yeah." No.

Lynn sighs, "Don't do anything so stupid again. If you even have the slightest urge, think about us. You could've..."
