Best Friends

7

The room door open and close, after about a minute or two I can sense that someone is standing over me.

"I'm going to drop a liquid in both your eyes, it's going to burn a bit but you'll be fine. I'll then give you some medicine so you can sleep for a bit."

He open my eyelids and drop the liquid inside, it feels good until it starts to burn. He place a bottle to my mouth and I close my mouth tight.

"It's okay B, it's safe for you to drink." Kahjeel says rubbing my forehead.

I open my mouth and drink the medicine, soon after I feel a heavy sleep over me and I give in to the sleep.

Flashback

"All a unuh go pon the grung now."

I lay flat on the ground shivering while they search the entire house. My mom is hysterical and my dad is trying to talk our way out of it.

"Old man shut your mouth before me mek u watch me a fuck your wife and daughter." The one that looks like the leader says hitting my dad with the back of the gun.

Pow Pow Pow

"Mommy! Daddy! Noooooo"

End of flashback.

I open my eyes panting and I can see a bit of a shadow, it's still a little blurry but I'm hoping I don't get any long term injury.

I sit up on the bed with my hand across my chest trying to slow my breathing and I can see a figure if a guy sitting on the chair beside me with his head down.

Kahjeel is literally by my side sleeping, I couldn't have asked for a better friend. I rub my hand over his head and something feels weird. I pull back my hand and try to come off the bed but stumble knocking over a few things on a table beside me.

"Easy mama. You might hurt yourself." The familiar but strange voice says.

This is definitely not Kahjeel. "Who are you and why are you in this room?" I try to ask in an intimidating tone but it comes out squeaky.

The guy laughs then touch my hand but I pull my hand away. "Answer me before I scream."

"We go to university together, we bumped into each other yesterday on your way out. Your books fell and I picked them up." He says trying to drag my memory.

I remember bumping into a guy yesterday but that does not answer my question as to why he is in this room with me.

"Okay, but why are you here." I ask.

"My uncle owns the practice and I help out a few days a week. I came in here to get a few supplies and noticed you and I was concerned. Plus it seems like you were having a bad dream so I wanted to make sure you were okay" He says standing.

"Well thank you for your concern but I'm okay now."

"That much I can see. Well I'll see you around." He walks out and I sigh.

I feel for the bed and climb on it to relax a bit until I feel my eyes heavy and sleep take over again.

The door opens up and I look towards it and I can see Kahjeel clear, he is standing at the door with a man in a white coat beside him. I assume he is the one that assisted me.

"Are you seeing clearly?" The doctor ask walking closer to me.

"Yes,"

"Good, I gave him some eye drops for you if your eyes get dry and itchy. Take care." He says taking my hand and shaking it.
