I woke up with pain all throughout my body. My head was pounding and my arm felt like it was being torn off. I opened my eyes and saw Hunter leaning over me covered in blood. Why is there blood all over him? Whose blood is it? What happened to Jonathan? I tried to talk but he just told me not to move or say anything. A tear rolled down my face as a tear rolled down his. He got up and called 911.
"Hello. My name is Hunter James Davis and I need an ambulance. Well, two. This guy beat up my girlfriend and she passed out and I came downstairs and I punched the guy because he was trying to attack me. I knocked him out and he is fine, but Julia is bleeding very badly and her arm is broken. The address is 435 south mulberry street. Please hurry." He called me his girlfriend!
So the blood on him was mine. He came back and sat down next to me as my eyes shut.

I woke up in an ambulance and couldn't move. The siren was blaring, but I heard the EMTs talking.
"Her vitals are stable for now. Hook her up to o neg blood. Get her started on a morphine drip. How long until we are there? Has anyone contacted her father?"
"We are five minutes out. Her father is on the way to the hospital and the other is in the ambulance behind us."
I started crying because I was so scared. I screamed out for Hunter and as I did his head popped up and his hand grasped mine. He kissed me and told me everything was going to be okay. A policeman stuck his head into my field of vision and asked me what happened. I looked at him and then back at Hunter with a helpless expression. Hunter said, "Look dude. You are going to have to wait to talk to her. Please sit back down."
We arrived at the hospital and doctors rushed in and pulled me into the ER and into the trauma room. They started hooking me up to a thousand different machines and removed the restraints that kept me on the gurney. They asked me not to move before they asses my injuries. I looked around the room and saw a window. On the other side Hunter was talking to a big group of police and I saw Jonathan handcuffed to the gurney swarmed by police. They didn't need to bring him into a trauma room and they set up his bed just outside of my window. My dad ran into my room and was told he had to leave by the doctors. He didn't listen and the police had to escort him to the waiting room. They un cuffed Jonathan to transfer him to the bed and he jumped out of the bed and saw me through the window. He ran into my room and shut the door and locked it so the police couldn't enter. He grabbed a scalpel off of a tray and threatened the doctors. He forced the doctors into the supply closet and opened all the blinds so the police, Hunter and my dad could see what was happening. A police man found another way into the room from the air ducts and jumped into the room. But, Jonathan was a black belt in karate and overpowered the officer. He knocked the gun out of his hand and picked it up. He shot the officer in the leg and yelled, "If anyone else try anything, you will end up like him. I looked out the window and saw Hunter crying and yelling, "it's okay baby. I will help you."
Jonathan realized what I was looking at and stood in front of the window. "JULIA. LOOK AT ME NOW," he yelled as he was flailing the gun around, "LOOK AT ME OR I WILL SHOOT YOU IN THE LEG AND KILL THE OFFICER IN THE ROOM."
I ignored him and heard a gun shot. I expected pain but instead I saw blood all over the floor. He had shot the officer. Jonathan was a murderer. I looked at his eyes and saw a wild spark in them. I realized what I had to do to survive, "Hey Johnny, babe. I still love you. Just put the gun down and we can leave and I'll always be with you. I still love you. Just open the door and let the officers and the doctors in so they can help me. Please."
As I said this, his eyes softened but then he realized what I was doing and grabbed my broken arm and twisted. I screamed at the top of my lungs and begged him to stop. "Please. Please. I'll do anything."
"You think I'm an idiot. I know what you were trying to do. If you weren't such a little slut, this wouldn't be happening."
"What do you want me to do," I whimpered, "please it hurts so badly. I loved you and I still do."
As I said this I jumped out of bed and lunged for his gun, but I immediately regretted it. My head blasted and my legs crumpled beneath me as he hit me over the head with his gun. He picked me up and put me back in the gurney, and put the restraints back on making them extra tight so I couldn't move at all, and so they'd hurt me. He leaned in and kissed me and forced me to kiss him back. All the fight I had was gone. But, Hunter wouldn't let me go that easily. He dove through the glass window and tackled Jonathan to the ground. Cops swarmed into the window and restrained him. Hunter got up and untied the restraints and kissed me. My dad ran in and gave me a hug, but I passed out from the pain.
