My lovely man

Part 16

They laid together down, facing each other, while Anthony caressed Anna's face and softly kissing her scars. No talking just this silence, which didn't feel uncomfortable, Anna enjoyed it. She slowly felt asleep, Anthony watched her sleeping. He couldn't sleep, he was too hyper from the immense of coffee he had drank. Anthony decided to walk a little bit, maybe the fresh air would help him to calm down. He carefully unwrapped Anna's hand from his and slowly standing up. He grabbed for his leather jacket and before leaving the room , he looked at Anna. She definetly needed  some sleep, after all. So while walking down the hall, he looked around , searching for a nurse. He walked over to the reception.

"Excuse me, could you do me a favor? My name is Mr. Kiedis and my girlfriend Anna is in room 204, I want to take a walk so I need somebody who could take care of her."

"Let me see Mr.Kiedis, uhm okay sure!" the nurse said and  grabbed the phone.

"Conile, it's me Linda. Listen could you take care of Miss Anna in room 204? Okay, very good, thank you!"

She looked up again an said

"She's on her way to Miss Anna, Mr. Kiedis."

"Well, thank you very much. I'll try not to walk that long." Anthony said and walked out. He walked past some nurses, who were making a smoking break, when one of them seemed familiar to Anthony. He turned around and tried to catch a look, but he couldn't see much of her face. Okay Anthony now you're paranoid, this was not Nicole, why would she work in a hospital. While in the room, Anna still was sleeping. But she heard how the door opened and someone walking over to her. She stretched her hand out, but Anthony wasn't there.

"Anthony babe, come back to bed!" she said with her eyes still closed.

The person grabbed her hand and squeezed it so tightly that it was hurting Anna. Then she opened her eyes and was about to scream when the person put the hand on her mouth.

"Don't you dare to scream, Anna. How does it come that Anthony isn't here, huh?"

Anna trembled and couldn't move.

"It was better when you were sleeping, bitch!"

Nicole pulled out a syringe with a dubious liquid in. She injected it forcefully into Anna's arm. Anna couldn't defend herself anymore, she was too weak. It just hurt as hell.

"This is for making out with John again, you stupid slut, have a nice sleep!"

Anna felt how her eyes got heavier and she slowly faded away. Anthony returned back to the room. He saw that Anna still was sleeping. Anthony smiled and took off, his leather jacket. He laid next to Anna, stroking her cheeks. But her skin felt cold. He was scared and immediately ran to the door and screaming

"We need a doctor, now!"

The doctor arrived with a few nurses. They got Anna in her bed out and moved her to the emergency area. Anthony stayed by Anna , holding her hand. She half opened her eyes and said

"Anthony...be careful....she's around..."

"Who is she? Anna what happened?"

"No more questions Mr. Kiedis!" the nurse said

And so Anthony stayed alone, while they brought Anna into the emergency room.

Anna woke up in fear and sweat. She looked around and she was still in the same room, so gladly it was just a dream. But why was she still dreaming of Nicole, trying to kill her? She asked herself, when Anthony came in. Anna felt released when she saw Anthony.

"Well, look who's awake, how do you feel babe?" Anthony asked and sat next to Anna.

"Now, that you're here, much better. I had one of these dreams again."
