Her Deadly Friends

Chapter 36

Danny Pov

I couldn't believe I kept falling asleep with my mind racing, but I did. I'm so tired. 5 months? Why the hell was I out for 5 months? I remembered having complications. Troy stated early on that I needed bed rest and never got it. Dean practically inflamed my pelvic to dust. I kept falling and being abused. I was kicked in my stomach multiple times. It's a wonder that the baby survived. So yes, I remembered having complications, but what kind of complications put you in a coma for 5 months? Tasha said that I haven't woken at all before yesterday. I'm 5 months late to save my baby. I don't care. I have to try.

I suddenly felt a presence. I looked in the corner of the room and saw Dean.

I tried with all my might to control the outburst that wanted to come out. I can't let my emotions cloud my thinking. I need to find out what happened to my baby.

"Dean, where's my baby."

"I won't be entertaining any questions about that."

Tears came to my eyes. "Another thing that you have taken from me. Haven't you done enough? As soon as I'm well, I will be leaving here, finding my baby and moving to the furthest reaches of the wo...." My neck snapped to the left from the slap he just dealt me.

He leaned down in my face. "Don't forget who you're talking to, sweet pea."

I huffed. "Do your worst, Dean. You have no more leverage over me and as you can see, I'm not heavily pregnant. I can run from here."

He slowly wrapped his hand around my neck. "Dean, that is counterproductive to your actions for the last 5 months," Tasha said while walking in. I'm glad because with the way my determined thoughts were going, he was going to kill me. I wasn't going to be quiet.

Tasha unhooked all the tubes that were attached to me. "I'm here to take you walking. Dr. Yung said you are good to move around."

She came and helped me up. We talked past Dean and out the door. I gave him a look that let him know that I wasn't backing down.

He smirked.

We went out to the patio and started walking through the garden. At first, I was panting and out of breath. By the end, I was leaning heavily on her.

"That's enough for today. I'll help you shower."

"No, it's ok. I got it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea." She helped me up the stairs. "I'll be up here in 10 minutes to check on you."

I nodded. "Thanks, Tasha."

When I made it to the shower I started crying. I know I'm punishing myself. I can't help it. I tried to picture how my baby would look if it was a girl then if it was a boy. I looked down at my stomach. I still have a little pudge. I touched it, feeling regret and guilt. I got out of the shower and dried off. I went to my dresser and grabbed another nightgown.

I jumped when I heard Dean's voice. "I sense you want to get something off your chest."

"I don't have anything to say. I'm done talking."

"Is that so?" He backhanded me. I fell to the ground. I got up and swung, hitting him in the face. He brushed it off and punched me in the face. I screamed and fell to the floor.

He was on me again. He punched me 2 more times before I blacked out.

When next I woke I was strapped naked to a table. I was on my stomach facing down. I held in my tears when I heard him walking towards me.
