The Untold Love

The Nightmare Returns

It's been well over a month or so since I dumbly forgot my meds. I had awoken that night when I heard that horrid voice but only woke to see Damian there he was so relieved he hugged me tightly I sat there sorta confused, startled, and feeling lost. I tried to adjust my eyes a bit before realizing he hugged me, I hugged back. I breathed in his smell, his pricey cologne entered my nose I opened my mouth to say something until my brain replayed the last conversation we had I then stiffened. Damian seem to notice and pulled away his beautiful eyes were a sad blue color. He had bags under his eyes he looked like a hot mess yet he still pulled off a good-looking outfit. Hair up in a messy bun, a little on the pale skin side he looked depressed and worried but relieved to see me up he had a black loose long-sleeve shirt on with your usual light blue jeans.

"Hey,...Glad you're awake" Damian smiled his eyes were watery I opened my mouth again but nothing came out I wanted to say something but couldn't bring myself to.

 I just sat there and looked down my hands resting on my lap Damian stared at me. I could feel his eyes on me, I looked at him the sadness in his eyes remained there he tried to look for reassurance in my eyes but there was none. I was not myself I remember hearing a familiar voice when I was out, remembering it sent chills down my spine, I shivered. Could, he have found me? Or were my ears just lying to me? Was that him...Ryker? I thought to myself I felt myself being to panic the pulse oximeter machine started to beep loudly as my heartbeat was going too fast.

"Max? Hey, Max breathe!" Damian shook me gently "Breath..." my eyes swelled up with tears and they uncontrollably rolled down my cheeks. I cried at the thought that someone I tried to hide from has probably found me at my weakest point in life. I needed to alert the staff but I seem to can't find my voice I quickly wiped my tears away with shakey hands and looked at Damian with a concerned look in my eyes he tilted his head "Lost your voice huh? But now it seems that you want to tell me something?" I nodded at him he went over to his backpack luckily he had a pen and notebook handing them to me I quickly scribbled something down and showed him.

"Was there someone here before you came? Before I woke up?" my hands shook more as I waited for his reply.

"Hm,..." Damian thought for a moment. "Actually, now that I think about it yeah...there was someone here last night. Why, do you know him?"

I froze. I scribbled in the notebook again. "I'll tell you if you can recall what he looked like and what he was doing and if he said anything to me while I was out" The look on Damian's face changed now he looked more serious while a slight curiosity. He brought out his phone and showed me a picture. In the picture he took from the backside of the guy he had blonde/brown hair around the same height as Damian, the dude wore a grey hoodie and black jeans with Nike shoes.

"I took a picture to ask your mom about him when she comes in the morning," Damian said his voice giving off an 'I'm pissed about this dude' vibe "Max, you're shaking... Who is he?"

 So he was here I lowered the notebook. My brain began to replay certain memories very horrible memories. I quickly scribbled on the notebook. "Go show the nurses and Drs...tell them that man can't come in here..please.."

"Tell me who he is...Max" I shook my head 'no' and scribbled again 

"Go...please warn them!!" Damian stood up, sighed, and left. My whole body was shaking in fear he was here earlier and I couldn't do anything. The one guy I would kill if I had the strength and courage, was here in this very room where I was lying unconscious and vulnerable. I covered my face after a moment I heard footsteps I thought it was Damian but when I looked up, I was met with dull, raging Hazel eyes. I froze as fear just took over. My worst nightmare has come true he found me after a short amount of time from my escape. 

 "He..lp!" Was all I could manage before he rush over to cover my mouth with his cold hand. He had an evil grin on his face wider than the Grinch. 

"Shh, you'll only excite me. I've finally found you my sweet boy..." He caressed my cheek as I shivered "Look at you, so much has changed since you left me...I'm here to finish what was left undone." In a swift move, he tossed the blanket off me and was on top I tried to scream but he had my mouth covered so it was hopeless I felt his icy cold hands go into the hospital pants I hand on I squirmed and tried to break free but nothing I did helped it only made it worse I thought I was done for but luckily I was saved there was a Dr that happened to be walking towards my room he got off quick. "I'll find you again don't you worry" With that he rush out of the room quickly I lay there as I was when Damian pops in and boy when he saw me he was not himself.

"Max!" Damian called to me he didn't know rather to touch me or not "Shit shit what do I do?" 

"Damian" I spoke lowly. He looked at me. "Calming down is the first thing you do" My voice was low and soft I cleared my throat. "Nothing happened I just felt hot is all" It was a lie but I hoped it'd clear his mind and calm him a bit. It seemed to work because he sat down next to my bedside and held my hand. Such soft hands and so warm too I smiled a little.

"You got your voice back" He kissed my hand gently.

"Yeah..." I closed my eyes. I couldn't tell him I couldn't bring it up. What would he have done if he knew who that guy was? And the things that he did to me before and just now. What would have Damian done? 

Ryker was back.
