I fluttered my eyes open. The bright LED lights burned my eyes. I could hear my heart beat on the pulse machine. I could feel the IV dripping into my body and coursing through my veins. I could smell the obnoxious amounts of multiple disinfectants. Yup, it’s official, I hate hospitals. I’ve always hated hospitals. I think I’ve been in the hospital way too many times over the past couple of months. I attempted to sit up, but pain shot through my body. Well that didn’t work. Let’s try that again. I picked up the remote and moved the bed up and moved myself back into the sitting position. I tried to swallow, but my throat was dry and I hurt to swallow. I pressed the nurse button and waited for the nurse to come. I heard a light snore. I turned to look at the couch and sure enough Justin was sprawled out on it. I cracked a small smiled while watching him. Soon there was a light knock on the door. I motioned for the nurse to come in.
“Hey sleepy head!” She said happily. I motioned for her to talk quietly while pointing at Justin. She nodded her head while walking closer to me.
“You needed something?” She whispered.
“Water.” I said. She smiled and poured me a glass of water. She handed me the glass of water. I took a long sip.
“It’s really nice to see your eyes.” The nurse said with a sweet smile on her face.
“How long have I been out?” I asked.
“About 3 days.” She answered shrugging.
“Oh.” I croaked.
“You should really get some rest.” She said smiling.
“I’ve been getting rest for the past 3 days.” I croaked.
“Understandable.” She said smiling. She turned to leave. “I’m sorry for what happened and if you never need anything just call.” She said before walking out the door. I turned on the T.V. and I was on the news.
“After a hold up, shots were fired sending Danielle Summers and her rescuer, Devin Hall, to the Westford Hospital Facility. The attacker, Emily Smith, was pronounced dead at the scene. Jake Wills was arrested on accessory and rape charges…” The lady on the news said before the television turned off.
“You really shouldn’t be watching that.” I heard Justin’s voice say from next to me. I turned to him and smiled.
“Justy!” I said getting teary eyed.
“Dani!” He said beaming. I scooted over and made him lay next to me. I curled into him and cried into his chest.
“I’m sorry, Dani. I’m so sorry!” He murmured.
“Don’t be sorry.” I said into his chest.
“I need to be. It’s my job as an older brother to protect my little sister. I didn’t do that job. I’m a horrible brother.” He said loosening his grip around me.
“You are not a horrible brother. You are the best brother anyone could ever ask for. There was really nothing you could do. I mean really, you were all the way in New York the day I got kidnapped. What were you supposed to do?” I said trying to soothe him.
“I don’t know. Something? Anything? You’re my little sister.” He said sadly.
“And you’re my big brother and I love you. There was nothing you could do.” I said holding his hand.
“I know, but that bastard raped you. I had to sit around and wait while he raped you. If I ever get my hands on him I swear…” He said clenching while his eyes teared up.
“Hey, he’s going to get what he deserves. I just need my big brother right now.” I said resting my head against his chest. He patted down my hair before rubbing my back.
