The Guy With The Dreamy Eyes

Chapter 10

The Next morning...

I woke up to a nurse giving me breakfast on a tray. "Thanks" I said as I yawned. I saw bacon, eggs, a piece of toast with butter on it, and a cup of orange juice.

The nurse gave me a small smile and a nod of her head, then she walked out of the hospital room.

As I ate my bacon and eggs the doctor came in. "Oh sorry I can come back late-"

"No, no that's okay, you can come in it's not of bother."

"Oh okay." The doctor said as he walked in. "Vanessa we had a pulmonary specialist to rule out the water in the lungs yesterday, and we X-rayed your lungs. You don't have any more salt water sitting on your lungs. So you can go home today." The doctor said then smiled and left me alone.

A smile crawled onto my face. "That's awesome!" I said with excitement in my voice. I can go see Jesse! I smiled to my self. I hopped off the bed then got the cloths that Emilie left me and got dressed.

When I got all my stuff from the front desk, payed for my medical insurance, then walked out of the hospital and into the parking lot. My car was brought by Emilie so I didn't have to take a taxi. When I got to my car I unlocked it, got in, then drove home.

***

I parked in the parking lot, took my keys out, then got out of the car, and locked.

When I got to my apartment door I found at the door was all ready unlock. Emilie must've forgot. I open the door and walked in side.

"Hey Em in back!" I said putting my keys on the table. I heard someone ruffling around in my room. I starting walking to my room.

When I got to my room I walked in, "Em, if your trying to find the sunscreen I los-" I saw that the person that was ruffling through my stuff wasn't Emilie as he looked me straight in the eyes. A scream escaped my lips as I turned away and started running.

The robber was quick to react as he too started to run, but not get out of my apartment but to chase me.

I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, "You stay away from me or I'll cut off those nuts of yours." I threatened. "I sharpened this not to long ago so you don't want to mess with me!"

He didn't seem to care as he pounced, I was quick to react as I plunged the knife into his leg as self diffidence. I ran to the phone.

I looked behind me to see the burglar pulling the knife out of his leg. My eyes widened then turned around to get to the phone. I heard him throw it to the side as it clanged on the ceramic tile.

I was almost to the phone when I got pulled to the ground by my leg me making me fall to the ground.

"You little bitch!" He swore as he turned me over to look at him. He picked me up and slammed me into the wall. He pinned me by putting his hands around my neck. I tried to struggle out of his but it was no use. I heard the door bell go off.

"Vanessa are you home?" I heard Jesse say behind the door.

The burglar hushed me, while he still had his hands around my neck. My head felt like it was going to explode.
