His Unhealthy Obsession

Chapter 23

"Bye Liane see you later." Amber says as I leave the building with Justin

"Well what do you wanna do today? I have no practice today why don't we just lay around the house today?" Justin said while wiggling his eyebrows

I laughed at his antics "Or we can do something proactive like getting some fresh air? You want to go watch a movie?"

He chuckled "When did sticky seats and stale popcorn count as fresh air. Are you sure? I mean you just upgraded to crutches will you be fine with having to push through people?" He asked with concern

I rolled my eyes at him "Oh please let's just go and have fun."

"Okay but you have to promise me that you'll yell me if you're uncomfortable or tired."

"I will. Now let's go get ready Mr. Worrywart"

After we paid for our movie we go to the concession stand which was of course crowded with lots of people, Justin suggested that I go and sit in the theatre. Even after all of my attempts to talk him out of it I was banished to the seats. As I was on my way to the theater I decided to use the bathroom before the movie started. As I finished doing my business I headed to the door and was about to open it when a hand pushed out and kept it shut. I turned around and saw the person I knew I wouldn't be able to avoid much longer, Mr. Rodriguez.

" Liane I missed you so much" he said reaching up to stroke my face to which I flinched

"Mr. Rodriguez I think you should leave before I call the police" U said in a slow calm voice as I reached for my phone

"No!" He screamed while shaking his head uncontrollably. He then grabbed my shoulders and hit my head to the bathroom door. I felt dizzy as he did it two more times before I fell to the floor. He looked shocked as he saw me drifting in and out of consciousness and kept mumbling incoherent sentences to himself. He moved me out of the way before running out the bathroom and out of sight. I went to ease the pain of my head only to feel the sticky wetness of my blood. I laid there for about five minutes before my body began to feel heavy and my eyelids refused to stay open. I drifted into a dreamless sleep, my body felt like it was floating and I could only hope I wake up from this endless dream.

When I regained consciousness I was alone in a hospital room. It felt sad and lonely knowing that once again I am back in the place I want to avoid. I wonder if Justin knows if I'm here or not.
After an hour of staring into space Justin finally shows up looking concerned and slightly frantic.

"Liane what happened? They said that they found yo on the bathroom floor unconscious. Did someone........ attack you?" He said looking uncertain

"Of course someone attacked me I was gushing blood from my head." I said almost sarcastically

He shook his head "No I mean attack attack you." He said with horror filled eyes

I squinted my eyes "Are you asking if I was raped?" He nodded his head yes "No no he um hit my head to the bathroom door and kept talking to himself then said sorry and left."

He sighed in relief bit then he got angry " I'm such an idiot. Why did I let you go alone I should have let you stayed by my side."

"Well look at it this way you'll have to listen to me more." I said with a chuckle

"Yeah I guess your right. I'm so sorry I let this happen."

"Shut up you drama queen it's not like you asked him to attack me."

"Did you see his face?"

"It was Mr. Rodriguez. He found me. Well I wasn't exactly hiding from from him."

"How is he even alive?" He asked

"I don't know but we need to go to the police and let them know."

"Yeah do you want me to call them down here or are you going to wait until your released?"

"It can wait but for now I just wasn't to rest. I'll just try to calm my nerves with some sleep." I said not really in the mood to talk to anyone

Justin sighed in defeat "Fine just don't be hard on yourself. I'll see you later." He gave me a kiss on the for head then left

After Justin left I didn't really sleep the pain in my head was throbbing and just plain irritating to deal with. I was close to dosing off when the hospital door opened. At first at though it was the doctor but the person was dressed on dark colored clothing. I remained still as the person got closer to my bed and waited for the right moment to strike. It looked like they were checking my belongings and while they turned away from me I grabbed the unplugged desk lamp waiting for the right moment.

However, my heart monitor picked up and cause the person to jerk up and bolt for the door tripping over there own feet before leaving behind a sheet of paper and a syringe filled with something. On the paper was a picture of me with hearts surrounding it and saying 'the love of my life'. I felt it was time I called the police because this was getting put of hand. I could only hope that he would finally stop attacking me because if he came again I would be ready.

'You better watch your back Mr. Rodriguez because there's no more Ms. Nice girl.'
