Finding Jess

Chapter 12 - I Know

A knock at the door.

*Knock-knock*

I was too scared to wonder why someone would be here this late at night. It could be a some crazy ass serial killer. Why would a serial killer want to kill someone that's already hospitalized. What sicko would do that? All that could be see at the door was a mysterious shadowy figure.

(Cue scary music)

"Hello." I said afraid to hear an answer. I'm like those crazy white chicks in those stupid horror movies that shout out "Hello is anyone there?" as if the killer's going to be like "Yeah, I'm in the kitchen. Want a sandwich before I kill you in a way that was so called for?" Sometimes I just wonder why I do these things, but anyway...

I received no reply, but could see the shadow creeping closer. I reached for my phone, (I don't know why my phone though? Seriously) aim at the shadow and threw it turning my head away.

Boom! I got him on the floor. I can't believe I took him out with one blow."Ouch! What the fuck Jess!" I heard a loud raspy voice call out.

"Harry?" I called out questioning my thoughts...

"Who else." He said sarcastically.

"Shit sorry." I couldn't help, but let a chuckle escape.

"You got me right in the boys." He said faking a wounded voice whilst standing up from the floor. "Nice aim,"he said reaching for his crotch. This was the gesture that caused me to burst out into hysterical laugher. "Stop your frantic laughter, I'm injured." He moaned.

"Says the one that's not wearing a cast with a bandaged head in a hospital bed." I replied with a sarcastic look.

"Oh yeah, but the least you can do is apologize."

"No. You scared me. Now just tell me why you came so that you can leave."

"I never came... I just didn't choose to come in."

"Huh? So you were spying on me?" I answered surprised almost sitting up.

"I thought that you left."

"Nah, I was just hanging outside your room and chilling in the cafeteria. Did you know that I hate cafeteria food, because I realised that now." He said pulling a funny disgusted face.

"At least I know I'm not the only one." I said without laughing at his previous attempt of a joke.

"They should really get a Simply Asia here."

"I know right!" He's not wrong, they should. Their glass noodles are to die for.

"Harry..." I said wondering whether I should tell him or not.

"Yeah." He said awaiting my answer.

"You do know that I know you slapped Megan right?" I blurted out.

"What?! Oh my fuck! Did that pussy Brad tell you?! I told him not to!" He said lashing out at the air and throw curse words left and right.

"No, no! Calm down." I said a bit agitated. "Know, because I was a bit concious when it happened."

His face dropped at the tone of my irritated words and I could see that he felt bad for the way that he reacted before. "How much did you hear." Is what I think he said since he was mumbling and wouldn't lift his head to face me.

"Enough."

"Oh." He said .

"Luckily we have an unnecessarily long hallway, so even with Brad running, he was not going to make it out of the building without me seeing everything. Or at least the blurry image of Megan running past me drenched in tears."
