Oblivion

Chapter 6

*Two Years Ago*

"Luke what the hell? Have you been drinking?" I could smell the alcohol that lingered on his breath.

"H-hey babe, l-look, I, it j-just happened." His words slurred while he talked. He was obviously intoxicated.

He looked at me with fear in his eyes, but I no longer saw the Luke that I learned to love. He was different.

"Hey well here let me help you."

"No! Stay away from me! I don't need you!" Even though he was under the influence that did hurt.

I grabbed his arm to help him up, but he pushed me down. Then he came at me with full force. It all happened so fast, too fast. One punch, one kick after another. I screamed for help, I cried.

"OH MY GOD! STOP IT!! PLEASE! PLEASE! P-please." I held my arms around my body to block the kicks, but eventually I gave up.

The pain shot through me. I could feel the blood dripping down my face. All I saw was blood, it was everywhere. The air around me tightened. I could no longer breathe. I saw his face once more, but it wasn't Luke, it was a monster. And then within a second everything went black.

White walls surrounded me. They kept getting brighter and brighter. I reached out my hand to grab the oscillating light in front of me, but then it disappeared. I opened my eyes. The light above my head shined down on my face, blurring my vision. When my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, I saw Gabbi, she was crying, and holding my hand. I don't even know why I'm here, I have no idea of how I got here, all I remember is going to Luke's. Or did I never actually make it.

Gabbi must have saw me because she kept saying thank god over and over again.

"G-gabbi? What am I doing here?" My voice was raspy and my throat burned. I could barely talk, and I couldn't move.

"Hey, oh my god. I just want you to know that I love you. I'm so glad that you're okay." She paused, like she was about to cry, but then continued, "You're here because you were attacked. They don't know who. But someone checked you into the hospital and left immediately. No one has no idea what happened."

Attacked? By who?

"How long have I been here?"

"A week."

A week? I have so many questions. I just want answers, but I don't have the strength to ask.

"Hey Gabbi, one more thing...Is i-it bad?"

"I really hoped you weren't going to ask that. They said, the doctor said that you weren't going to make it."

'The doctors said you weren't going to make it' I shivered. I was supposed to die.

I walked through the door, he was sitting up against the bed, beer bottle in one hand, a tequila bottle in the other. I ran to him, trying to help him. He pushed me away though. He came towards me, his eyes black. Pain shot throughout my body. I screamed.

I woke up, and sat up breathing heavily. Tears running down my face. It was him. He did this to me. He hurt me.

"Luke."
