Chapter Five
~~~~~ Alex - Two versions of yourself ~~~~~
How could I not have noticed a ring on her hand when she slapped me? I knew a slap couldn't hurt that bad. Why couldn't I just ask for her name? I mean she's my fiancée for crying out loud! She's the girl I'm apparently going to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I never saw myself with a woman. At least I think I never saw myself with one. God, why can't I just remember her?
'Maybe you are thinking too hard.'Maybe you are right.
Agreeing with the voice seemed like the best thing to do until I realized that someone actually spoke to me. I stop myself and look around paranoid for the person who spoke but see no one except for the nurses I had met earlier who were outside the door.
Both nurses were close to each other smiling at one another. The younger one got closer to Adriana and brushed her arm with her hand. Adriana turns away from the nurse blushing like crazy. The name of the nurse finally comes to me as she smirks and walks away but not before kissing Adriana on the cheek. Amy sure knows how to make Adriana squirm.
'Do you think they are together?' I don't know.
Again I find myself speaking to the person. I look around but see absolutely no one. The room is empty but I know I'm not crazy. Someone did just speak. I keep responding as if they were right next to me, so that must mean that I am not crazy.
"Whose there?" I ask not sure in what direction to speak in. The room is dead quite. Maybe I am going crazy.
'Hey, now that's the smartest thing you've ever said.'
Glaring at the invisible person gets me nowhere. I can hear the voice. I know that someone is in the room, but I do not see myself as a ghost believer. And yet, no one is in the room. It's just me and the bed along with the entire decor in the room. I want to blame the voice on the Telenovela I was watching earlier, but the television is turned off. And the girl took her phone with her so I can't blame her speakers that she forgot to take with her.
The silence carries on as I look deeply into certain spaces of the room. After a few moments of staring at nothing I give up and decide that I truly might be just going crazy. I blame the head injury, which apparently has kept me 3 months in this godforsaken room. How can anyone stay here for that long without going crazy?
'You were shot four times. I don't think the head injury is responsible for it all.'
Okay now it's getting serious. I get out of the bed and start to touch the open air. How in the world did this person get that information? I spread my hands as I walk aimlessly around the room. If I wasn't sure before now, I think I just reached a new level of crazy.
Or maybe there is a hidden camera in this room. Maybe this is just some stunt to punk me and maybe that girl isn't my fiancé but just an actor. I mean she sure knew how to kiss. She must be one hell of an actress.
'Behind you!'
I suppress a scream and turn around ready to fight whoever just said that. My body instantly relaxes as my eyes see nothing but the empty room. The only place that I have yet to check is the bathroom.
'Go in.'
I know I should just run. Hell Black and Hispanic girls are the first to go in any horror film. Everyone knows that. I even know that and I was gone for three months. So why not just run or at least take a bat with me into the bathroom?
'Maybe because there is no bat in the room.'
Now this is just stupid. If I can hear a person clearly in my head why can't I see this so called person? Well if they wants to play hard to get I will play along. I am not scared.
