Slowly my eyes fluttered open, I woke up in bed gasping. I sat up too fast. Then I remember what happened and why my head hurt like I was knocked out. My eyes danced around, and I suddenly realized, I was in my very own bedroom. I looked down to see my entire pillow streaked with blood. I placed my hand above, petting my head. There seemed to be a bandage wrapped around. I looked up, and widened my eyes to see Vic sitting on a chair that was placed across from my bed. What the hell happened?
"V-Vic?"
Vic looked up at me,soon he exhaled in relief. He stood up, and sat besides me on my bed. Pulling me into his arms, he murmured, "Thank god, you're okay." He kissed the side of my forehead and I pulled away confused. "Vic, what happened?"
His eyes widened and he questioned,"What do you mean?"
"I can't remember anything."
He pursed his lips and hesitated for a second. "How about you take a moment, and focus? Try to remember what happened right before your injury."
I stared into space, and zoned into my thoughts, trying to regain memory.
All I can remember is being hit on the head. Hard. Then a sudden dizziness. Then slipping to the ground. Then everything was dark. The sound of wood hitting my skull echoed in my head. I felt woozy. As I sunk to the floor grasping my throbbing head in pain, I began to see colorful and black spots slowly block my vision until it was totally dark. But before the darkness swallowed me, I heard those words...
"You will get revenge.You will pay for what you and your mother have done."
Every hair upon my body stood to attention and my heartbeat boomed in my ears. My heart pounded in my throat, and I began to hyperventilate. I could feel the air being sucked out from my body, the atmosphere becoming more and more tight. I struggled out from under the blanket covers, racing to the window. I pounded against the window until my fingers felt scrape on the window latches. With one swift movement I flicked them to the side and opened the window with all the strength left in my body. I immediately took in a huge breath of cold air. Tears rolled down my face and I fell to the ground. I covered my face and I began wallow in my misery. Vic rushed to my side, completely puzzled.
"Jess? H-Hey, Jessica. It's gonna be okay. Don't worry-" Vic began to say, until I interrupted him and furrowed my eyebrows.
"O-Okay?!" My voice cracked. "My father has been released from jail, he's on the chase for my mother and I! And you're saying it's going to be okay?"
Vic's perplexed expression left me clueless. He stared at me, and soon his eyes widened. "Your father?! Wha-What? Your mother told me a robber broke in - not that your father was released! Ohmygod!" I watched as his eyes filled with anger. He hesitated, then aggressively ripped the beanie off his head and his hand ran through his hair. He was breathing heavily and I could tell his blood boiled.
Little did I know, Vic started to bombard with Spanish language.
"Santa mierda! No puedo creer esto! Oh, Dios mío, estamos en un gran problema, tengo que protegerla, sólo tengo que!"
My eyes widened, and I blinked constantly having no idea what the hell Vic basically just blabbered out. I could tell he wanted to pull his hair out, he wanted to punch a wall, but most of all he wants my father to drop dead.
Inside of me, I could feel my stomach drop, just thinking about it. I don't even know what my father can do, but I do know, he's on the hunt for revenge.
