Natalie's POV
I opened my eyes and see that I am still in the same room where I woke up before.
The blue painted ceiling is warming my eyesight. The last time I looked at the walls made me hyperventilate. But now it's better. I still shake in fear but today is better.
Suddenly, the room's door opened, Jerry and a man who is wearing a white coat. Who I assume is the doctor. Jerry sat by my side while the doctor discuss about my condition. Some cuts are healing but I should be careful because of my broken rib, sprained ankle and broken arm.
"...you should be in bed rest for the whole week so we can monitor your health." The doctor finishes and left.
Confusion suddenly popped in my mind. If Chase is a doctor, the why the hell is there other doctor attending his patient, which is me?
"W-Where is Ch- Chase? " I asked Jerry in a small voice.
"In his office, finishing some papers" I nodded in understanding. Well, just because you're back doesn't mean he's not busy.
The room was filled with awkward silence between me and Jerry.
"So..." Jerry started "did you finished studying?" He slowly questioned as if cautioning if he is hitting a sensitive part of me.
"Uh. Yeah. I-I finished Nursing-g th-three months ago-o" I sound pathetic because of my stuttering. But I am still scared. I am still scared knowing that Robert is still wandering around.
Sometimes I get hallucinations, like someone is staring at the window pane. I can't sleep tight without making sure that the doors are locked, and the windows are shut. I always feel a pair of eyes, observing me as if I am the prey and he is the predator. I can't help but to feel uncomfortable and restless at the same time.
Jerry looked at me as if he wanted to ask more questions and I gave him the ask-away look.
"Natalie..." He started softly as if he is going to ask sensitive question. "What happened to you with Chase?" He asked so soft and calm and he almost whispered the last part.
So many memories going back to my head. So many memories I tried to burried 6 feet under the ground. So many memories started running inside my pea brain.
Pea.
Peanut.
I smiled at Chase's nickname for me.
Get down here , peanut.
Lay down and cuddle with me, peanut.
I'll always love you, Peanut.
I promise I'll come back for you, peanut. No matter what.
I closed my eyes as I pretend. Pretend that those memories didn't end. Pretend that Chase is still calling me Peanut.
Tears stung in my eyes but I stopped them from falling.
Jerry got the message and stood up. "I'll tell the maid to bring you food later. Just press the intercom when you need help" and the door clicked.
The door closed and my emotions started to open like a deep well.
