-Alexis P.O.V-
"Honey can you hear me?"
I slowly opened my eyes. An elderly woman was standing in front of me; she had a clipboard in her hand. All I recall is that I was home, waiting for Caleb, before something hit me hard and I fell as though in deep sleep.

I opened my eyes and looked around. Everything was blurry for a while. There were some wires attached to my hand that snaked across the room till a large machine.

I tried to sit up, but pain just shot up my body, and my head seemed dizzy.

"Nuh, uh, Lie down there sweetheart," she said.

"Hello Miss Johnson, I'm Doctor Wren Kingston," a very charming doctor stood infront of me.

He checked my eyes by flashing light into them and then whispered something to the nurse.

"Wh- How- did I come here?" I asked, weakly.

"Your boyfriend got you here." He said, wrapping a cuff around my arm to check my Blood Pressure.

"How do you feel?" He asked.

"Um, weak, and my head hurts and tbh, scared." I said.

He smiled and said," You seem to be lucky your injury isn't deep, if you would lose more blood it could be dangerous."

"I don't recall anything that happend." I said.

"Would you like to meet your boyfriend, he is waiting out there for you." He said.

I simply nodded, feeling extremely tired.

In a matter of few minutes Caleb came in.

"Hey," he said kissing the top of my head and then settling himself at the edge of the bed.

"Hey.." I said.

"You feel okay Alex?" He asked.

I nodded. "Thanks for saving me Caleb."

"My duty as your boyfriend. But do you have any clue who did this to you?"

"If I knew, wouldn't I do something about it?" I said.

He sighed.

There was a knock on the door, and there peeped Spencer.

"Come." I said.

"Alexis, Your mom's on the line." She said, handing me the phone.

"Hey mom," I said.

"Nah, I'm okay, just some injuries, I'll be fine.. yes..yes Caleb is here, and-"

"No, Mom don't worry, I can take care of myself,"

"Yeah, bye, safe flight Mom," I said, hanging up.

Caleb and Spencer looked at me raising their eyebrows.

"Mom and Dad just taking a flight to Florida." I said.

"What do they do that they travel so much?" Spencer asked.

"Like I knew. They I have absolutely no idea do what," I sighed, closing my eyes.

"You know, we can figure that later, I think you should rest now love, you look weak." Caleb said, rubbing his thumb against my hand.

"Do you need anything Alex?" Spence asked.

"Nah, I'm good." I weakily smiled.

After few minutes of silence, I spoke up.

"When the hell do I get out of here?" I asked.

"Few days." Spence said.

"DAYS?!" My eyes widened.

"Well, if you wanna be perfectly fine, you've gotta stay here." He said.

Spencer came near me, leaned in towards me and whispered," When the doc is so hot, I would do anything to last here longer," she smirked.

I couldn't help but smile.

Caleb then cleared his throat.

"Oh don't worry Bro, she'll be fine." She said, winking at me.

After a while of chit chatting, the doctor came in with the reports.

"Well, You've got minor head injuries, other than that, you're good, but you will have to stay here a little while until you are healthier," He said.

I nodded.

"Most of all, you need rest, lots of it, and no stress okay." He added.

I couldn't help but laugh at how Spence kept staring at him.

"Uhm, When can she be discharged?" Caleb asked.

"Tomorrow should be good." He said.

"Okay," Caleb said.

When the doctor went, I said I would go to sleep for a while and they said they would go grab coffee.

The medications, the weakness made it so easy to drift into deep sleep.

Suddenly, My body began to shiver as I felt someone trying to choke me, my eyes grew wide,my body shivering with fear as small ragged gasps escaped my mouth. I couldn't see who the person was, all I seen was a black mask.I could sense myself drifting away from my body and taking me to a peaceful place one where there are no worries in the world.
