One Mystery One Life

Chapter ~ 56 Wake up

Gosh! My head hurts. Oh! I remember those concussions I had. They were severe injuries to my head; I am surprised that I am alive. I try to raise the curtains but they can't seem to open, ugh! My eyes. I forced them but my eyes are tightly shut. I did have enough sleep I think. I try to shift my body but only my hands are enough active, my fingers felt like a ticklish move in them. Great! They seem to be awake. 

I want to wake up completely and run around in the snow for once so that I could I could remember what I was. It would be a really nice feeling. I remember mom by that. In my younger days, she used to watch me pretend to be a eagle and fly in the heavy snow, which could hinder cars and trucks but not me. They can't hinder me yet from loving mom, or reaching my goals.

I can feel people calling me 'mama's boy' or so but I don't care. They will keep calling us things no matter what we do. I can for sure call the people who fail to give respect to their parents (that they deserve) just because they don't like being called thing. I call them cowards. 'Mom' I said. I want her near me, totally unaware of the surrounding. I don't know where I am. I wish I am somewhere nice.

My sense of smell doesn't seem to be working. I tried to move again but no use. I think I should try again later and call mom. 'She is not here' my brain told me, but that wouldn't stop me. "Mom are you there?" I asked. "Where am I?" No reply. I don't know where I am.

The last thing I remember is seeing Chase's broken face. He had a broken heart right there and I guess my head got broken there. Or maybe I did encounter Annie. I remember being slapped into a tree. That must have hurt and it does now.

I put force into my bones and try to get up. Seems I have my power now. My eye lids pull open and I immediately cover my eyes with my arm. Great I can move but that blinding light hurts my eyes way too much. I groan and put my arm on my nose.

I look at the white ceiling and then around. There's nobody around. I sit up and find myself connected to bunch of wires. I am in the hospital. Where am I in some sort of prison. "Is anybody there?" I asked trying to call attention. After a while I hear a few clicking heels. Four pairs. And in came four people. A doctor, one nurses and my mom; who seemed to be worn out.

The fourth one entered after and had a stern type look on her face. I wasn't expecting her here. After all she's the one who has sent her here. That wicked smile is to be wiped off of her face. I looked at her with a hint of betrayal. Annie the person I knew form my childhood. I always thought of her as Katin, the name that she told me when she was small. 

I turned back to mom who was looking at me stressed out. I think I have upset her and there is another thing that I am bracing myself for. I want to know what she was told by Annie. But at the same time am scared for it. There could be a wrong story there.

 "Are you feeling dizzy?" The doctor asked and I nodded, my eyes fixed on mum. "Just a heavy head." I told him and he smiles and turns to mom. Mrs. Charles your son is absolutely fine now. He would have a few migraines time to time and feel dizzy. But that is part of the procedure. Try not to take stress." He says with a the last line directed at me. 

The air is getting heavier t me as I see the only people left in the room are Annie and mom including me. My mom heaved a sigh and started with disappointment written clearly in her eyes. I looked at her with a blank face. I can't tell what is coming. She is really unpredictable. Her eyes never match what comes out of her mouth. Is it me or my heart is distorted. 

"What were you doing you almost killed me?" So she was worried. Is that good or bad? I look down in response-

"If it weren't for your friend who saved you." She said. "You could have died." She said. Wait. Did she just say friend. That Annie is going to pay for it. 

"What are you looking at? Thank her will ya'" She orders me and Annie smiles widely. A smile that seems genuine. 

"Ma'am, I think you should let him rest." She says holding my mom from her shoulders. "He does not seem to be functioning that well" My mom nods at her. 

"Take a little rest you fool and then I'll want to know here you have been. 

************

Annie sat on the stool besides and looked at me with the same blank smile. A stern one perhaps. Gosh! What is with her and her smile I can't even make out her expressions. Since mom has gone she should realize that she can drop that face. 

"So, how are you doing? Eddie" That way she said it it made her really sound concerned. That pissed me off. "What the heck do you think you are? Don't you think you can drop that face. Mom is not around either. You don't have to act! You BETRAYER." I shouted at her. 'I don't think so'  she mouthed.

Mom walked around and came in front of me. What! Did she hear what I said? I looked at her in surprise.

"Eddie, would you mind behave. You don't know how Jacqueline here saved you life." She exclaimed and I frowned from inside. Jacqueline. The girl looked at me blankly. Who's Jacqueline? 

"She literally donated three bottles of blood to you." When she said that my mind started running bonkers. Bottles of blood. Katin did. And she changed her name again. The girl smiled at me. 

Is she one of those strange clingy girls or is she deceiver Annie. My life, a great gig. I feel like singing it out loud. A tone hit my brain and realized that it was moms phone, but it gave me a great idea for my new song. Wow! These types of moments. 

Mom walks away and leaves Annie with me once again. Three bottles of blood, ha ha great deal. she's the one who took out the blood in the first place. I look at her with anger.

"My, my Eddie" She says with a voice and tone I have never heard before. I can feel Alex looking at her with wide eyes right now. 

"What is it Annie?" I ask her and she smiles. 

"My, my why am I smiling?" Oh! she noticed.

"I should have introduced myself earlier.- My name is Jacqueline. As you have heard before. Eddie. " She emphasized on my name. "I am Annie's sister and the one who had knocked you out. Proudly I must add." She says and I look at the bit*h with starry eyes. Who the heck is this girl and she claims not being Annie. 

"I thought I would tell you this one little thing. Stay away from Annie and don't put the Katin part on her. She knows nothing and I intend on keeping her in the dark." She said with the same smile type face.  

"When you get out of here be a good boy and pretend or else-" She started but I cut it.

"I know. Be a good guy and keep your mouth shut. Or else you will-" I stopped when I thought I can't say the next thing. Not with my mouth. My tongue will split into pieces. She chuckles.

"I guess you know it pretty well." She says. "That mom of yours will die." She said. "After I get your girl" She says. I look at her with weird eyes. Who is she? A joker. She can't just threaten me with that 'don't care' tone and say that Alex and my mom will die. And if she has said that she will kill Alex doesn't she have any secrets to keep. 

This is weird you know. She won't just tell me her plans. She chuckholes and I stare at her. What's so funny? She smiled and put her head on her hand.

"You want to know why?" She asks me and I nod. What do I want to know in the first place.

"'Cuz I think I'll enjoy torturing love birds you know" What do I know. I wanna know.

"I love having arousal." She says and giggles. 

What the-

***********
