I Don't Love You

Disenchanted

I woke to the smell of coffee. I got up from my chair and walked over to the nurse's desk. A different nurse was sitting there, she looked so fresh and clean with her crisp white uniform. She probably just  started her shift.

- Hel: Umm do you have news on Janne Burton? He came in last night, was in surgery... I said in a cracked voice.

- Nurse: Yes, his surgery went just fine. You're Helena, right?. I nodded. - He's in room 203, just down the hall to the left, he's been asking for you.

I thanked the nurse and started to make my way to Burton's room. The hallway seemed to stretch out more with every step I took, it probably felt like that 'cause of how tired I felt, I hadn't slept much since last night. I finally reached Burton's room and he smiled as I walked in.

- Hel: Hey you, how you feeling? I asked sitting at the foot of his bed.

- Janne: Like I was run over by an 18 wheeler but I think I'll live. He gave me a crooked smile.

- Hel: I'm sorry I dragged you into this Burton, if I hadn't asked for your help you wouldn't be here.

- Janne: Hel, it's ok. I knew Ville was up to something when he left for the state's a few weeks ago, he kept going on about how he couldn't wait for you to come home back here with him even though we all knew you are getting married with Frank. Even his parents asked him to stay home and move on.

- Hel: At the movie premire he lost it. He could bare to see me talk to anyone and when he found out I was talking to Frank, well you probably know the rest...

- Janne: Don't think about that now. Have you called the police or your dad?

- Hel: One of the nurse's from last night called the police and they came to take my statement. They're out there looking for him ...

- Janne: Don't worry, I'm sure they'll find him soon.

- Hel: Hope so. I still need to call my pops.

- Janne: You should, I bet he'll be releaved to hear your voice.

I walked over to the night stand and dialed my pop's number.

- Dad: Hello? Who's this?

- Hel: Hi pops it's Helena.

-Dad: My Raven! Where are you sweetheart? Are you hurt?? Gerard told me you called, he said you're in Finland?!

- Hel: Yes dad, it was Ville. He kidnapped me and brought me to Finland. I'm ok, I'm not hurt but Burton is, Ville shot him while he was trying to help me escape. Where in the hospital.

- Dad: Oh Helena, I'm so glad you're ok. Stay in the hospital with Burton, I'm coming to Finland.

- Hel: I will pops. How's Frank?, have you heard from him??

- Dad: He's getting better. I'll call  him to tell him the news, I'll ask his doctor and if he's well enough I'll bring him with me.

- Hel: Thanks pops. I'll see you soon.

- Dad: Take care my little raven, see you soon. I hung up and sighed in relief, hopefully this will be over soon.

- Hel: Well, pops is coming to Finland and he might bring Frank if he's well enough.

- Janne: Great! I hope Frank can come, I bet he can't wait to see you.

- Hel: I just hope he gets better soon. I don't know what I'd do without him.

- Janne: You should get some rest. I asked a nurse earlier to bring in a cot for you. I don't want you to go out there knowing Ville is still out there.

- Hel: That's fine Burton. I wasn't planning on going out there until my pops comes.

We spent the rest of the day just talking, catching up. After a couple of hours a nurse came by with the cot Burton has asked for and I took a long nap.

~ Ville, please don't! STOP IT!!

~ You'll do as I say or Frank dies. I felt his icy fingers rip off my clothes.

~ Please stop...

~ Stop crying, he only used you anyway. You think he'll want you now that he's with her? She prettier than you... He ran his long finger through my hair and kisses me on the lips. ~ We're meant to be together love, your mine.

He took the rest of my clothes off, pulled me closer to his cold naked body and ....

I woke up with tears streaming down my face and sat up in my little bed. Burton and I were still in the hospital. The only sound coming from the rain outside, Burton was sleeping. I laid back down and looked at the ceiling.

It was going to be a long night.
