Jack's Girl

30: Alone

Sean's POV

I actually had a dream this time, but it was more like a nightmare.

I was running through the halls of an empty hospital. I was running from something. Someone.

At the end of each hall was a door. I'd open it and there would be another hallway.

The dream kept this up for a while until one door led to a room. It was a room like a void. Infante space filled with darkness.

There was a single light that was spot on a hospital bed. There where I.V.s and tons of weirdly placed wires around the bed. All of them attached to a person.

I step towards the bed.

As soon as I did I wasn't walking anymore. I was laying in the hospital bed, wires and all.

I lift my head up to see....me? At lest I thought it was. The shadow of myself tilted it's head like it was confused. I tried to speak but my voice was gone.

The figure straightens his head and walks towards me. He stands at the foot of the bed. I couldn't see from his shoulders up but I knew it must have been me.

"HAHAHA!!!!" The figure laughs loudly and pushes his body to lean forward and stop as fast as light. Inches away from my face.

"Look at you! Just lying there! Completely helpless! All while I am in control!" That definitely wasn't me. He looked like me but I could tell the difference. Spastic movements. Scratchy Irish accent. Black eyes.

I woke up with a start. The first thing I noticed was the hospital room. I looked around frantically checking for wires like my dream. Nothing. I sigh in relief.

I look at the clock. 3:00am. I wanted to go home. But the hospital won't let patients go this early.

I look over at the guest chair. Raspberry was curled up in a ball asleep. I had no idea how that could be comfortable but I guess if she was sleeping that's all that mattered. She roles over.

I tense my muscles and lock my eyes on the girl. I thought about closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep but she was faster then my thoughts.

"You're up?" She asked as she yawned.

"Yeah. I don't like hospitals. Much less sleep in one." I say.

"You play to many scary games." She rubs her eyes.

"Horror games. You sound like a little kid. It's kinda cute." That last part slipped out of my mouth. I was only half awake until now.

Raspberry sat up and straightened her posture. She ran her fingers through her hair to try and fix the tangles. It wasn't helping. I could tell she didn't like me to see her like that but it just made me smile. She was beautiful. Enough said.

I look around the room. "Where's Mark?"

"Oh. He left at one o'clock. Said that he had to get back to L.A. Some super import thing. He wanted me to tell you bye." Rasp explains.

"Oh. Okay." I keep my composure. I didn't want her to see me worry.

"The nurse said you could leave at eight. But I'm guessing you don't want to go back to sleep?" Rasp tried to stay wake but it wasn't working.

"That chair is not comfortable. Come over here and sleep." I say.

She blushes. "What?! But you're hooked up to everything and-" I raise my hand. She gives me a look of utter defeat and stands up.

I scoot over to make room for her. She was right, I was hooked up to everything. Plus the size of the bed didn't help. But I knew she wasn't liking the chair and that she was worried. I wanted to comfort her.

Rasp laid in the bed with me on her side to where we could look at each other.

"Not a good idea." She pouted.

"I don't care." I said and laid an arm over her side. When I did, she shuffled closer to me. She laid her head on my chest as I wrapped my arm around her.

I rubbed her back and nuzzled her head. I didn't want her to worry and I don't want her hurt.

Antisepticeye is planning something. He thinks I can't do anything but I know I can. I just have to over come him.

Mark was gone and Raspberry can't know what's happening.

I'm alone.
