Twisted

Chapter 6:

      This sterol smell fills my nose making me feel like I'm suffocating. My eyes shoot open allowing a mixture of bright white lights and grey colors. Beeping sounds ring in my ears making my heart slightly race a little. Looking to my left I see a heart monitor next to me, sending chills down my spine. My eyes jump around the room noticing how spacious it is.

       Billy sits on a couch fast asleep, his head resting on the wall behind him while strands of his hair gently rest on his face. Sidney is curled up on his lap while Stu and Tatum sleep in chairs on the other half of the room. Randy sleeps in the chair besides my bed, his hand gently grasping mine.

I gently pull my hand out of his grasp and look at the clock, seeing that it is around 2 in the morning. How long have I been here? How the hell did I even get here? The only thing I remember is I was doing one of my jobs and then I was attacked by ghost face. His voice sounded exactly like Stu's. But why would it be Stu? What would make him do something like that? Why would he even be ghost face?

       "Rise and shine ladies and gentlemen." Billy jumps at the sound of my voice. "Hey you're awake."Sid says as she stands and walks to my bed. "How are you feeling?"Randy asks as he notices my hand missing from his. "I was attacked and now I'm in the hospital, how do you think I'm feeling?" No one says anything but I can see Billy trying to hide the smirk on his face. "Can we get you anything?"asks Tatum.

       "Maybe some food and water please." "Anything in particular?" "Just whatever looks good." She just nods and grabs Stu's hand. "Are you coming?"Sidney asks as she turns back to Billy. "I think I'm just going to stay here and keep an eye on her." She nods and asks if he want anything. "No thanks I'm good." With that she and the others leave.

      The only ones who are left are myself, Billy, and Randy who is struggling to keep his eyes open. "Randy why don't you go home and get some rest."I say sweetly. Partly because I'm slightly tired but mostly because I wanted to be alone with Billy. "Yeah you have been here a while."Billy adds while placing a hand on his shoulder. "Not as long as you though."Randy Yawns.

I give the two of them this confused look, "what do you mean Randy?" "Billy has been here since you got admitted." My eyes jump to Billy as he presses his lips together. "Yeah but I need to wait for Sid." Randy just nods and leave but not before a final get well hug, causing pain in my stomach. "What happened to me?"I ask. "I mean I know I was attacked and all but I guess what I'm asking is how bad?"

"Well you were stabbed twice and they are both pretty deep. Doctors said you lost a lot of blood and that you hit your head pretty hard." I nod slowly trying to not aggravate my already pounding head. "Do you happen to know who did this to you?"he asks, his hand gently grasping mine. I shake my head no but then I start to think about it. "All I know is it was ghost face but I didn't see his face, come to think of it I heard his voice sounded a lot like Stu's."

      For a split second I see Billy's brown eyes grow wide with anger before he tries to hide it. "Is something wrong?"I ask cautiously. "No I'm fine."he says calmly, leaving me still unsure. "I'm just upset that this happened to you." I smile warmly at him trying to see if it will get him to relax a little. "I'll be okay though."I tell him as I gently squeeze his hand.

       He just looks up at me and returns the smile. "So you have been here since I was brought in? How did you even find out?" "Oh umm well the doctors called me and I was the first to show." "You and Sid?" "No just me, she showed up with Tatum and Stu." Once again I just nod and lay back in bed, my meds beginning to wear off.

       "Everything okay?"Billy asks as I wince slightly. "My umm meds are wearing off, it's starting to really hurt." "Okay I'll get a nurse."and with that he gets up only to be interrupted by a knock on my door. "Knock, knock."Sid says as she enters the room, I bag of food in her hand. "What's going on?"she asks once she notices Billy walking towards the door. "She said her stomach was starting to hurt."

       "I'll get a nurse."says Stu before walking away. Sidney sets my food on my table trey thing and sit back on the couch. Tatum follows suit and sits beside her. I groan in pain as it all finally hits me. Billy grasp my hand tightly as if he's trying to comfort me. Eventually Stu and the nurse return. She gives me another does of morphine making my body slowly begin to relax. After a minute or two I feel my eyes begin to get heavy again before finally closing, while feeling Billy's hand still tightly grasping mine.
