Weightlifting Fairy

Chapter 8

Rick's POV
Some hours later, the doctor came out. We all rushed to meet her and asked how Fanny was. "It was a very complex surgery, she was lucky she made it" the doctor said. "The bullet went through her heart so its a miracle she's alive, she'll be moved to the ICU shortly but I'm afraid no one can go in till tomorrow. You can watch her from outside though. Please excuse me" She said and left.

My joy knew no bounds. I thought I had lost her, I thought I had lost my best friend. Fanny's parents began to cry, then hugged each other. They pulled me in also. Not long after, I started crying also. Thank you Lord.

Fanny's POV
I opened my eyes and gosh the light was blinding. I got up from the bed and started walking. I didn't know where I was going but boy was I tired. I saw a really bright light. Its like it was pulling me. I remembered those parts in movies when people start to walk  towards the light with people saying "don't go into the light". I wasn't ready to go yet. It wasn't my time to go. The light started to fade. I walked back to my bed and sat. My eyes opened and I saw a woman in a lab gown. I tried to speak but I couldn't. "She awake" the woman said.

She checked some things on the monitor and then checked on me. I realised she was a doctor. She went outside and some people walked in. The "other people" were my parents and Rick. "Sweetheart how are you? How are you feeling dear?" My parents said. I couldn't speak so I smiled and nodded. They held my hands and smiled back. I looked at Rick. He rubbed my shoulder and smiled.

I was in the hospital for quite a while. Everyone took turns staying with me. I felt like a damsel. After a month and some weeks, I was discharged. I was so happy to be finally out of the hospital. I wasn't allowed to go to school for the next two weeks. My parents hired helps and bodyguards for me. I told them I didn't need  any as Jack had been arrested already. All my words of protest just flew past their ears, so I decided to just kick back, relax and enjoy it.

It was like in the movies where you clap twice and someone comes to help you except the helps just came on their own without me calling for them. They helped me get my food, get my drugs, get everything I needed. All I mostly did was watch movies, sleep and hang out with my friends who came to see me. After a while, I was tired of the pampering. I wanted to start doing things on my own. Don't get me wrong, I still needed rest in fact I still felt pain in my chest but I was tired of just laying on my bed all day.

Two weeks passed and I returned to school. Everyone was looking at me with pity in their eyes. Some came up to me and asked how I was doing. Others just stood by their lockers. I felt embarrassed walking in the halls with two bodyguards right behind me. I once overheard some seniors saying I was spoiled and loved attention. "She walks to school with bodyguards thinking she's some kind of celebrity. Hello! You got kidnapped not debuted". I walked past them and said "try having a hole in your chest and say that again". They covered their mouths and starred at me. Those two faces evil witches.

I was so mad but them brushed it off. The world was always going to be infected with roaches wasn't it. But honestly this whole bodyguard thing was getting too much. I couldn't go for parties, stay more than ten minutes after school, I was so sick and tired of it all. When I got home, I did my homework and sat on my bed preparing to watch one of my favourite kdramas Mr queen. I loved this drama. It made me laugh so much and forget about my daily trouble.

When I went to school the next day, still with my bodyguards, I had my classes and later went to the toilet. I saw those two shoes from the previous day. On my way out one of them pushed me and hit my chest hard on the wall, then on the floor. It was like I got stabbed with a three edged knife. The pain was unbearable. My injury started bleeding, as in blood gushing out. Boy was I scared. I was wearing a bright purple blouse which part of was now soaked with blood. All the girls ran out when they saw what they had done.

I went outside with the strength I had left. My bodyguards saw me and quickly carried me. I was taken to the school nurse and treated immediately. I was told to go home but I didn't want to. I was asked how the stitches got ripped and I told them what happened. The principal took me to her office. She called the girls to her office also through the PA system. The girls came looking at their feets. "Everyone in this school knows what happened to Estafania and this is how you help her? Do you want to get her killed?" The principal asked angrily. "You girls are suspended for the next three weeks" she ended and sent them away. "I'm really sorry about this Estafania. How do you feel now" she asked concerned. "Actually, I feel better, no worries. If you'd excuse me I have to get back to class". I said and left.

I was going back to class so those bullies could see me not for my studies. And my my my, they saw me and got angry. I laughed out loud, but in my head of course. In real life, I just ignored them. I had my remaining classes and went home after school hours.
