My Joy, My Love

Chapter 6

My eyes fluttered open and I looked at the ceiling. I went to touch my mouth only to realize I was no longer wearing the oxygen mask. I was still wearing my hospital gown. I stared at the ceiling for a little while longer admiring the smooth surface till I heard noises. I looked at the TV that was pointing towards my bed for once and saw that it seemed to have lost connection or something because there was a loud white noise meaning the TV was to be acting up. It was the normal static-y screen. There was also pictures of someone but they were hard to see. The static screen was more visible than the pictures so I'm sure I was just imagining them. Soon I heard a soft knock on the door and a nurse came in. She seemed to be to about to say something till she saw the TV. She seemed to suddenly look very scared and worried. She quickly turned off the TV. "Oh! I'm sorry you had to see that Mr. Komaeda. I thought I turned off the TV's before I left! We seemed to be having some kind of connection issue." She stammered seeming to be very ashamed of herself. I just nodded telling her that it was okay. She nodded. "Okay anyway, I came to tell you there are a few people here who wish to see you." She said standing close to my bed. It was most likely them trying to hurt me again. "Can they come in?" The nurse asked looking at me. I shook my head no. "I'd rather be alone," I said looking away from her and back at the smooth ceiling. She nodded seeming to understand me. "I understand, I'll be back soon with your breakfast." She said then left the room giving me time to sit and think. I kinda wished the TV was working to distract me from my thoughts. I laid down and tried not to think about anything so I could fall back asleep. As I tried to clear my head and I started to fall asleep I remembered the event. I went and touched my nose remembering the fall, the laughing and the way he looked at me. I breathed faster and put my hand on my chest. I felt like I was going to vomit. I was the distracted by the door opening looked over to see a different nurse peak her head in. "They're here to see you." She said and opened the door letting someone in. Though I was breathing heavily at first now I stopped completely.

I almost screamed when they stared back at me. Their smiles looked innocent as they thanked the nurse and she closed the door behind her. Their heads seemed to snap back at me as the nurse closed the door. The tallest girl seemed to smirk the brightest. "Aww! Our cute puppy has a limp." She said walking towards me. The shorter girl was right behind him. "Why don't we put him down?" She said while doing a thumb down sign. Before any of them could response my fight or flight senses kicked in and I jumped up and bed standing on it hearing the heart monitor go crazy. "Hey, you can't run away! We haven't even touched you yet!" One of them said. I looked around looking for an escape but there was only one door which was the one they entered in and the window. I was going to try to make a run for it before someone grabbed my ankle. I looked down in absolute fear. One of the guys was grabbing my ankle and pulled it and I fell over. I fell and hit my head I flinched at the pain and held my head. I was going to curl up right there on the floor if adrenaline wasn't rushing through my veins. They looked down at me smiling. I tried to crawl away but the taller girl stomped on my leg. I screamed in pain. Her heel breaking my skin. "If you don't run it won't be so bad. So sit there and enjoy it, you creep!" The guy said. I decided to not listen and scrambled around on the floor running around them and I almost made it, if the Iv needle didn't get pulled out of my arm. I started to bleed then became more distracted by my blood and momentarily forgetting what I was doing and didn't notice the guy coming behind me, holding my arms so I couldn't run anymore. I struggled as much as possible before I heard one of the girls laugh. "No matter how much the pig runs he'll still have to go to the slaughterhouse." One of them said. I could help but try harder to escape but the boy held my arm so tightly there was no way I could escape. Almost all of them stood in front of me the shorter girl wrapped her hand around my neck and tightened her grip. I wheezed still trying to get away. "You can never escape us so why don't you stop trying?" The guy holding me asked. I didn't answer of course cause I was choking. My vision got blurry and all adrenaline left my body. I started to feel even more nervous and puked. I guess it got on to the girl's hand because she quickly pulled away and I puked a little more but it got mostly on me this time. The boy mostly likely grossed out by it let me go and I fell into my own vomit. "EW! Oh my god that's so disgusting!" She screeched. The boy kicked me away from him. "You got it all over my shoes!" He screamed. I laid in my own vomit till I remembered something. I felt a light breeze and scrambled around the floor and ran towards the open window. I finally thought of a way to escape! I pushed and pulled the screen covering the opening desperately trying to break it. "What the f*ck!?" The shortest boy said right before the screen finally broke on the outside and It fell. I was on the fourteenth floor and it was a long drop. I smiled a bit as I breathed faster and flung myself out the window. I felt the air blow through my hair and the hospital gown. I opened my eyes and saw the broken screen for a second before everything stopped.
