Vonia's POV
God, that was horrible. My mother never knows when enough... is ENOUGH. I dont really have the heart to go see Nick. So, i just walk home. I am about halfway home, and my phone rings.. excpecting to hear the man, i don't even look at the screen, i just answer it.
"What, what now?"
There is a pause.
"V. Vonia?"
The voice is soft, and sounds hurt.My eyes widen. Its Nick.
"Nick? Im so sorry! I thought you were the man who calls everyday!"
"Its okay, just, please...Come to the hospital"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just... please."
This wasn't like him. He usually sounded suducing, confident. He sounded frightened, and alarmed. I turned around, and headed back. I swear, i think i lived more at the hospital, than i have at my own house. I hit the button to cross the street, and waited.
I crossed the street, and looked down to maje sure i didn't trip on the sidewalk. When i looked up, i saw a man, sitting on the bench, waiting for the bus. It looked familiar, like i have seen something likes this before.. i walked closer, and closer, i freaked out for a second, like it was Deja Vu. I looked at the man, but he was gone. Like, no look on his face. He looked straight ahead, not caring that i was there. I moved my hand infront of his lifeless face. Nothing. I continued walking, and he grabs my wrist tightly as i walk by. I turn around to his still lifeless face,
"Let me go!"
He doesn't buldge. I try to break free, but this dudes got a death grip. I start screaming. I manage to break free, and i run all the way until i reach the hospital. I don't think i should tell Nick.. he worries too much about me. I go through the hospital doors, and into the emergencey room. Before i reach to pull back the curtain, a strong force pulls it back, and pulls me in. I let out a small scream until i see Nicks face.
"Nick! What the Hell!"
"Sorry, i need to show you something"
My eyes scanned his body, looking for a possible explination. Until i reached his shoulder, looking worse. Puss and blood oozing out, purple and blue from oxygen loss.
"Nick, your shoulder.."
I started but he cut in.
"Come over here"
he grabbed my hand, sending a warm feeling into my heart. I had to help him over to where he wanted to go.
"Okay, now look at it from here"
I looked at his x ray of his stomach, and it was a cloudy circle. I immediately started crying. I don't want to loose Nick. Everyday i see him, i love him more, and more. His smile tells me everything is okay. When my mother is abusing me, he would always come pick me up, and he would listen to everything i have to say. He wraps his arms around me, and sooths me, telling me he's okay. I calm down, and wipe my eyes.
"Okay, what did you want to show me"
He points at the circle
"Okay. Look closer. Its not a circle"
I look close, and squint my eyes at the circle. I stumble backwards when i see it. It is not just a circle, it is a face. Like a ghost.
I look at Nick, and he nods
"You see it right? It is there?"
I nod. This isn't right. Why is there a face on his x ray? Damn, are we being haunted?
I walk to the bed and sit down. This is really scaring me, like, a lot. Nick walks around, and finally sits down. My phone rings, and it is an unknown caller.
"Hello?"
"Well, Vonia. What happened to deny,deny,deny? You did not listen to me. You will be punished, Vonia. Go home. Now"
"No."
I hang up, wondering if i should have said that. I get up.
"I have to go, sorry. Let me know if you need anything"
"Okay"
he sounds sad. I sigh, and turn on my heels. I push past the doors, and outside. I was about to step off of the curd, when i bag is placed over my head, and i am dragged backwards. I hear a trunk open, and i am thrown inside of it. They slam the car, and lock it. I know they start driving, and they turn a corner, slamming my body into the side of the trunk. I hear laughs when my body slams into the side. I swear that they got out of their way to turn every corner in town. We stop suddenly, and the doors fly open. Two strong heads grab each of my arms, and yanks me out. The bag flies off from the wind, and my vision is blurred. I see a big man, holding a towel, and bottle. When my vision is clear, he smiles, and shoves the towel under my nose. Everything goes black, and i fall.
