Know your secrets

Chapter Twenty Four: Back.....Stabbers?

" Heather? " I heard a velvet voice. " Heather? " I tried opening my eyes, my vision was blurry.

I could tell someone was standing on top of me. "Mmmmh. " I mummbled.

" She's awake! " The voice shrieked, and immediately I felt the presence of 9 more people haunt me.

" Heather? Can you hear us? " Another voice asked, full of agony.

" Mmmmh. " I mummbled once again, trying to let everyone know I'm alive. " Yes. " I finally managed to say a word, but my voice was raspy, resembling an old man's cries for help.

" Oh my God! " Nicki hugged me tight, " Hey, easy there miss." Said a nurse standing behind her. " You might wanna keep your friend in one piece now that she's awake. " Her tone annoyed.

Nicki backed up putting her head down, but she soon regained her truthful smile.

Judging from my surroundings, it was crystal clear I was in a hospital. " What happened to me?"

Nicki's smile quickly turned into a frown. " You don't remember, do you? "

She sighed.

You and Sawyer had an accident.

"Is he..." I paused. " Is he okay? " I looked her with puppy eyes, begging to see the word yes forming on her lips.

But she sighed heavily once again, folding her hands on her chest. " No sweetie, I'm sorry. "

I felt tears already burning in my eyes, threatening to fall down my face.

" Can you guys give us a minute? " Audrey who was standing on the other side of the bed angrily looked at the crazy amount of people and doctors in the room, making them shift uncomfortably,nod and leave.

" Are you fucking insane?!?! " Audrey whispered loudly shaking my shoulders.

"Ouch! What the fuck is wrong with you? " I whinched in pain.

" What did you take? " She demanded. "Tell me! "

Nicki sighed.

"This will be a serious accusation Heather, you fucked up, big time. "

They both stared at me, with a blank expression. Almost as if they had no idea who was standing in front of them.

" Guys? " I asked but this time they were both avoiding my gaze. Their eyes glued to the floor. " Guys what's going on? " I repeated, starting to worry. A wave of nausea and dizzyness hit me once again.

" For fuck's sake! You tell me I messed up big time and then juststare at me like fucking idiots! You hypocrites! You sit there like mother Teresa , judging me! How dare you! You are both way worse than me. So fuck you, I'm tired of your games. Just tell me what's going on. " I spat out, the venom of by sharp tongue got to the girls, making them raise their heads.

Nicki cleared her throat.

" You stabbed Sawyer. "

And suddenly, silence. The absolute silence.

The kind of silence piercing your ears. A loud, noisy, disturbing plate of silense....spreading through each and every one of us like a plague.

Nobody dared to talk, nobody dared to blink, nobody dared to cough.

Nobody dared to breathe.
