Simple Love

10-Two weeks?

*Anika pov*

I watched as everything went black. I'm not exactly sure where I am, but I'm scared. Everything is too dark. Put on a light!! Suddenly I heard sobbing and a loud thump in a far corner left of me. I stood up shakily, my knees trying to buckle underneath me, and hobbled like a 80 year old woman over to the cause of the noise.

My little sister sat, crying, in the corner. I held a shaking hand over my mouth and fell in front of her. Her head shot up and her eyes were blood shot. She smelled of bleach and alcohol. "A-Annie??" Her shaking voice rang. She sounded the same as she did the night she... she.. died.

I nodded and put my arm out to caress her. I touched her face and smiled. "Yeah, Isa, I'm here baby girl... I'm here" I said, my voice wavering with emotion.

"Are you coming home, Annie??" She cried. I pulled her into a hug and felt as her tears dampened my shirt.

"I'm so sorry baby girl. I'm so sorry... I should have thought about you... I'm sorry...shh" I cooed, trying to calm the shaking 17 year old girl in my arms.

"Don't be sorry, Annie... come home.... daddy is here... mama is too... come home..."

I felt my lip quiver and I kissed her forehead. "I'm comin home Isa, I'm comin home" I whispered. Her head flew up and a wicked smile grew on her face. It wasn't Isa anymore, but something much darker. It was the face of a man, a mean with an evil smile.

"HOME BITCH!!!! FUCKING DIE YOU WORTHLESS BITCH!!" A dark voice screamed, nails scratching my forearms, making small incisions like where needles would go.

I was pushed awake with the rush of cold air hitting my face, and the smell of hospitals. I grimaced at the stench and began to open my eyelids slightly, the light burning my eyes. I closed them again for a few seconds before trying again.

"Andy I don't know what to do!! I can't lose her!!" A majestic voice cried out, giving me more will to open my eyes. I tried a final time and my eyes opened fully this time. "I just can't...I love her so much" Dani sat sobbing into Andy's shoulder.

"Why don't you tell her that" his voice suddenly amused. Her head shot up and turned around to my bed, her face turning from near dead and sobbing to happy and glowing. She jumped up and ran over to my bed, planting a soft kiss on my dry lips.

"How are you baby!?" She asked, biting her lip. Her eyes started to water up and she locked her hand with mine.

"D-dry" my voice cracked. "Can I ha-have wat-er?" I stumbled out, coming out barely above a whisper and cracking. She smiled and walked over to a tray, grabbing a cup of water. She walked back to me and placed it in my hands. I smiled gratefully and happily obliged to the water covering my throat.

"I love you so much baby" she gushed. I smiled and sat up, scootching her on the bed with me.

"I love you too..." I whispered. "Dani, will you --"

I was cut off by doctors rushing in and smiling at me, hooking me up to different tubes and bombarding me with questions. "How long have I been out??" I questioned once the majority of the nurses and doctors left.

"Nearly two weeks." Another voice chimed in, making me jump. Mike stood there, his eyes beet red and swollen from crying. "W-why, Annie??" He sobbed, his voice wavering.

"Two weeks...." I said, sounding far off and zoned out.

"I thought you fucking died, Anika!!" Mike yelled, suddenly angry and frightening. He clenched his hands into fists and bit his lip. "I though I lost you like we did Isabella..." he whispered hoarsely.

"Its not her fault..." Dani tried, but failed and sounded like a little kid defending her best friend who stole the last cookie on Christmas. "If anybody is at fault is it that fucktard E--" she got cut off my Andy slapping a hand over her mouth.

"Lets just get her out of here!" He cried. "Who wants to cuddle and watch Forrest Gump??" He asked, making my face light up.

"Me!!! Me me me me meeeee!!!!!" I cried, standing up too fast and pulling the IV almost out of my skin. "Son of a bitch!!" I cried, paying for my excitement.

"Lets go then!" Dani helped me get my clothes on and we check out, walking back to my house.
