I woke up feeling dizzy and never this weak. It was my second time in a hospital, sad how I memorised the halls all by memory, these both times were by Lucas. I don't understand why can't he just love me like he should have in the begging... Was it something I had previously done and I've forgotten? Have I hurt him? Haven't I been a good step sister?
All these questions dominating my weak brain in the first few minutes of being alone.
Suddenly the doctor came in with a file in his hands. I never liked doctors because they make you feel like your the sickest person alive and like it's all you're fault. "Good morning Rory, how are we feeling today?" He said in a cheerful voice. "I'm fine but I still feel a lot of pain in my stomach and arms" I said looking down. "I know,the pain should wear off in two days" he said as he was flipping through papers in the file. "I tried eating but I couldn't..." I said "if you still can't eat within the next 4 hours, we'll have to inject you food" he said walking out the door.
Holy shit, inject me food?! I said to myself. The thought even hurt. It was gross. I suddenly felt hot so I lifted the blanket just to allow my body for air. When I did I saw my waist...
I was touching it like it was something I had never ever in my life had seen and bringing my eyebrows together to try to hold in my tears.
My waist has now a curve that looks like a monster took a bite from me and then piles of skin where the bullet was sunk. Around the wound there were lines indicating operation and burn damage from the bullet. Then this 'x' shaped stitches over the entire wound. It was disgusting to see myself this way and to think my own step brother did this to me. I was terrified of him... He was the reason for all these monstrous pains that never seem to find a way out of my life.
As I was killing myself with thoughts of Lucas and what he's done to me, someone knocked on the door. I insanity covered my stomach with the blanket.
"Hey Rory!" Said Nadia as she peeked through the door. I breathed in relief. "Hey" I said. "How are you? I got you some soup" "I'm fine but still a shit load of pain, and I can't eat"
Nadia winked various times and her hands weakening her grip of the soup. I could tell she was extremely worried of me. "I'll be fine" I yelled. Nadia snapped back to reality with the sound of my sick voice, "I know, but Rory you still have so much ahead of you" she said as she was sitting next to me. "What do you mean?" I asked. The bed moving and creating a space for Nadia stretched my wound and it felt like a fucking shark was eating me alive piece by piece. I held in my scream and started to breath slowly so Nadia didn't have to realise. When Nadia walked towards the tv I put my hand in the wound to see if everything was okay, and it wasn't. I pulled out my hand full of blood from my waist and small black threads from the stitches. "Holy shit" I whispered to myself. I tucked my hand inside again so Nadia didn't have to notice anything was wrong.
Suddenly nadia turned the television on and a blond woman turned up, headlines reading 'masked man shot an innocent girl in a celebrities wedding' I was shocked and instantly concentrated on what the news reporter was saying.
"Famous celebrity, Kellin Quinn's wedding crashed by a man in a gun, he shot an innocent girl and ran away to a hidden area. Police officials are still determining who this masked man is with famous rock band, piece the veil as witnesses.. National Boston Court judge, Harold Thurman is deciding if this first degree murder will serve 15 years or 20 years in jail, and he states that Rory Williams will be victim witness with her defendant lawyer, Christopher Jones here in national Boston Court on the 25th of August. Thank you I'm Katrina Brown, here in CNN with news on crime investigation" then Nadia turned off the tv and pointed with the remote control "see? This is everywhere! You have to go to court next week" I didn't say a word. "Rory this is finally your time to get back at Lucas for everything he's done to you!" I opened my eyes in shock for the opportunity I had. "I can't Nadia" she slammed the remote control on the table as she tucked her bangs behind her ear and walked right next to me "Rory I know your going to be nervous as Fuck out there. But seriously pull your self together. You went through a lot of shit this bastard did to you. Enough is enough Rory. Put this son of a bitch in jail, ill be right here for you" she said as she noticed a stain of blood on the sheets "Rory" she whispered as she closed her eyes "what the fuck? Are you on your period?" She asked "what the fuck? No!" "Then what in the name of God is that huge bloody stain on the sheets?" "My wound opened" I blurted out gazing into her green eyes. She groaned and called the nurse.
"Good morn--" "the nurse said "she opened her wound" Nadia said with her arms crossed. I had never seen her this pissed before. I don't understand why everyone is mad at me. "JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE BLOODY FU-" stopped myself before cursing even more. I was holding the bed sheets to the highest of my strength I had and I could feel my face turning blood red and my world twirling around me. Lights flashing everywhere, Nadia appearing in different places of the room, that fucking nurse still in the same place handling my wound with so much care I see. I grabbed her hands and said "can't you do it wit-" I let go of her hand, I was terrified my eyes opened wide like a tiger and tried to get away from the nurse as much as I can. "What happened Rory?" Nadia said as she was un-crossing her arms are running towards me "LUCAS NO!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted many times as I was kicking the nurse. I was breaking down crying "STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT" I was shouting while calming down my legs and holding onto Nadia's arm. "Sh sh sh calm down Rory" Nadia said as she was fixing my hair.
After the nurse ran out of the room and called the doctor, Vic came in running and stopper half way. "Dammit Rory" he whispered as he looked down and grabbed my hand. Nadia stood up and told Vic "she thought the nurse was Lucas, she started to kick her and cry Vic" "that bastard traumatised her. When I catch him, I hope that god looks away this time" he said. I reached out for Vic's hand and he held it tightly and laid next to me "you'll be okay.... I promise" he said while hugging me. "Will you be there with me in court?" He turned his glance to mine and said "the thought of me not being there doesn't exist, I'm gonna be there until you're dead in your grave" I tucked myself in the bloody blankets and hugged him real tight. "Can I call the nurse back in so she can stitch your wound?" He asked "okay fine, but your not leaving me until I'm done or else Lucas will hurt me more" I said "who said I was? And Rory Lucas is going straight to jail, that was the nurse" He said giggling. I was sorta shy after what I had done to the nurse...
"Peep" I heard the red button cry. That button was to call the nurse for an emergency. There were three buttons, the yellow one for food, the green one for fist degree pain, then comes the scary red one, that one was for an emergency. That's the one I pressed twice today.
The nurse walked in with gloves and two plastic bags with utensils for my wound. I stood up and un-lifted the blanket for her to start. Before she started I whispered "I have to apologise for what I had done the first time you walked in... I'm sorry I thought you were Lucas and was going to hurt me" she looked at me and smiled and said "it's okay.. Just hug your boyfriend hard because this might sting a little" I knew both Vic and I found it awkward how the nurse thought we were dating but we both knew we liked each other. So I hugged Vic tightly while tucking me head into his neck and between each strand of his hair, he hugged me back, i felt this sting in my waist as it was escalating to my head, I hugged Vic harder. He felt that i was in pain to he hugged me and started to talk to me so I forget about the pain. "So what are you wearing to court next week?" He asked I laughed and said "i dont know what about you?" "Probably a shirt and shorts" he said laughing. I laughed and started to breathe because the pain was really starting to fucking sting.
My phone started to ring and I asked Vic to see who it was and maybe answer. When he had the phone in front of our faces, the called was Lucas. "Shit" I whispered to Vic "don't you worry, should I answer?" He asked "yes" I said.
Vic pressed the answer button and the timer started to run indicating Lucas was there talking.
"Hello" Vic said.
