Snatched

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

"He's alive? He's alive!" I scream trying to squirm out of the medics grips. "No, let me go! I have to get to him!" I scream, but my vision is already going blurry. I feel dizzy and light headed. I look over at my arm where I see a needle sticking in it. "No" I whisper as I slip into unconsciousness

I open my eyes; I'm looking at a white ceiling. A machine beeps next to me; my leg is wrapped in a white cast. I can see the white blur over my eye which I know is a bandage over my face. My whole body aches. What happened?

Seconds later the memories flood back. The kidnappings, the library. Dan, Dad, Jordan.

"Jordan" I whisper "Jordan!" I'm screaming now "Where's Jordan!" The nurses are coming to my side

"Calm down" she says as she rummages through a cabinet. Must be looking for drugs to knock me out.

"No!" I scream at her "Please don't make me go back to sleep. please just tell me where Jordan is!" I'm crying

"he's fine" she says ignoring my request about the drugs. I try to move away from her but the needle just gets closer and closer. I fall back asleep.

When I wake Chris sits at my side playing on his gameboy "Hey buttface" I say. He instantly looks up

"Lizzie!" he yells jumping up to give me a hug

"Ow" I say. He jumps back

"Sorry" he says "Lizzie, I love you! I didn't mean it when I said I hated you. Please tell me you don't hate me" he says looking down

"I don't hate you Chris. I know you didn't mean it." I say smiling.

"Okay good" he says smiling at me

"Where's mom?" I ask looking around the room

"He went to see dad"

"What...? Is he hurt?" I say not remembering him ever getting really hurt. All I remember were the bruises on his face when he first got there.

"Ummmm..." he stars but is cut off when the nurse walks in

"Chris, I told you to tell me when she wakes up"

"Sorry" he apologizes.

"You feeling any pain Lizzie?" she asks me

"No" I lied because I didn't want any more drugs that would put me back to sleep.

"Okay, well press this button If you need anything" she says showing me a button on the side of the bed.

"Wait" I stop her "Jordan mills. Is he okay?"

"Oh yeah, Jordan went into surgery a few hours ago. He should be fine."

"What about Isabel Hernandez, Tanae rose, Alex pepperman, Sofia..." 
"Okay slow down. Everyone that came from Sullivan are here. Most of them being treated for gunshot wounds." she says slowly

"Gunshot wounds? Only 3 people were shot including me" I say my eyes wide.

"No... oh they didn't tell... I'm sorry. Forget I said anything" she starts to walk away

"No come back tell me!" I scream but she is already gone. No what was she trying to hide? "Chris" I slightly yell

"yes!" he jumps

"Help me get in that wheelchair" I said pointing at the wheelchair in the corner of the room

"I don't think you’re supposed to..."
