"Alex? Alex, can you hear me?" I heard a faint voice speak to me.
"What?" I spoke groggily as I sat up.
"Can you hear me?" The voice spoke again, this time more clearly.
"Yes, I can hear you." I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting to the bright lights that filled the room.
I looked at my surroundings, the room what white and plain, I was laying in a bed in the middle of the room. I quickly realized I was in a hospital.
All the memories started flooding back to me. The police. Chloroform. Griffin.
I looked at the nurses coming in and out of my room, I want to speak but im in shock.
"What-What happened?" I manage to choke out as yet another nurse enters my room.
"I think you need to wait until the police come and have them explain." The nurse spoke kindly.
" Oh, ok." I said quietly.
I laid back in my bed and stared at the ceiling thinking for about 30 minutes. Then I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." I said.
I expected the police to walk in, but to my surprise it was my mother and father. I felt disgusted to even see them.
"What do you want?" I spoke rather rudely.
"Oh honey, Im so sorry." My mother said. It didnt sound sincere in any way.
"Did you even look for me, mom? Did either of you even care that I was gone?" I asked, most people would cry at a time like this, but after being gone for over a year, I dont cry at things like this.
"Sweetie, you have to understand out jobs are very important." My dad said.
"More important than your daughter? I was kidnapped, dad! I was beaten and abused and raped! And you dont give one shit!" I yelled at them, I didnt want to hear their bullshit.
My parents eyes starred coldly back at me. They didnt care.
"You're 18 now, Alex. We want you to move out. We dont want you in our house. Youre a disgrace. Having sex with a man before marriage. You disgust me." My mother scoffed.
"I was raped mother. I was forced into it. I had no say. Ill gladly move out, I would love to move away from you people. Being taken helped me realize how neglectful and abusive you both were to me. Youre 20 times more disgusting than I am. I hope you rot in hell." I seethed at her. I didnt want her as my mother anymore. I didnt want to know her.
"Now get the fuck out!" I growled at them. They gave me one more glance then both turned and left.
I didnt feel sad about it. I actually felt relief.
About an hour later there was another knock at my hospital door. This time it actually was the police.
A young man walked in, probably in him early 20s and sat in the chair next to my bed. He was very hansom. He has chestnut curls that looked soft and silky. His hazel eyes looked kindly at me.
"Hi, Im officer Lane. But you can call me Cam. I dont like going my the whole last name thing." He smiled at me.
"Its nice to meet you, Cam." I tried to speak kindly but its been a while since ive wanted to speak nicely to someone.
"Now, Alex. I have a few questions to ask, if you dont want to answer some of them thats fine just let me know."
I nodded.
"Were you kidnaped?"
"Yes"
"Were you hurt or abused in any way by your kidnappers?"
"Yes"
"Did they sexually assault you or rape you?"
"Yes..."
He tried to smile at me reassuringly, but it didnt really help.
"Tell me, Alex. How long do you think youve been gone?"
"Im not really sure. About a year I think." I spoke slowly trying to remember.
"According to our information, youve been a missing person for about a year and 3 months."
I stared at him for a second, shocked. Ive been gone for so long.
"Now it says here that you turned 18 about a week ago, which means you are legally an adult and your parents have decided to not be a part in your case. Where will you be staying? I need to know because I need to assign an officers to you." He said.
"I dont have anywhere to go. I dont know how to live by myself anymore. Ive been away for so long. I had to depend on Griffin and Cody..." I whispered.
"Who are Griffin and Cody, Alex?"
I stared at him, not wanting to speak anymore. I couldnt talk about them, I didnt want to think about them at all.
"Alex, this is very important. Who are these people you are talking about?" He said urgently.
I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
"Are those the names of your kidnappers, Alex?" He tried asking as lightly and nice as possible. I still wasnt sure if Cody and Griffin were caught or not. But I was too afraid to ask Cam.
I very slowly shook my head yes.
"Well Alex, for the time being Ill let you stay at my place. Its very unprofessional, but I cant just let you leave with no where to go. I have an extra room. Is that ok with you?" Cam asked me.
"Yes I would like that a lot." I said softly.
"Well you dont really have any stuff to pack, but you still need to wait a little longer so the doctors can make sure theres nothing wrong with you. Then you are free to go. Ill stay here while the nurses finish up." Cam smiled at me, his hazel eyes sparkled.
A nurse came in with a long needle. Oh shit. I was terrified of needles. My eyes went wide and I shook my head.
"Alex, we have to take a blood sample. I need you to hold still." The nurse said.
I was shaking as me approached me. I closed my eyes hoping it would be over fast. Before she could stick the needle in me I felt a soft hand on top of mine. I unclenched my eyes to see Cam smiling at me.
"Its ok, ill distract you. Just talk to me. Whats your favorite color?" He said.
"Its purple." I smiled and laughing a little, staring at Cam and not at the giant needle about to penetrate the soft skin on my arm.
"Whats your favorite animal?" Cam asked another question.
"A koala."
"How about your favorite food?"
"Pizza of course." I laughed.
"Alright all done." The nurse said. I turned and saw the syringe now filled with my blood. Wow, that was painless.
"Youre free to go." The nurse smiled.
I hopped off the bed and went into the bathroom where there was a change of clothes for me. I changed out of the hospital gown and into some jeans and a blue tee shirt.
Then Cam and I left. We walked out of the hospital and into the parking lot. I then quickly remembered the question I had been meaning to ask him.
"Cam?" I asked as we started driving.
"Yes?" He glanced at me.
"Did you guys catch my kidnappers?" I was so scared to hear the answer.
Cams face went pale. Oh no.
"No, Alex. They uhh- they got away."
And with that my heart dropped.
