5am Start

Mistaken

I felt like crushing up the place when I realised I had been deceived all these years but I couldn't move my damn body. How come I never remembered this part? this is weird. Debbie walks in, she isn't the prettiest girl I have seen but the smile she wore was the prettiest I've seen. Okay maybe because I'm in this state, but honestly since when did I start thinking of who's pretty?

"Hey" she says softly.

"Hey" I say back trying to smile but it just turns into a frown. At least i tried.

"I'm here to make sure, you young man are ready for home today" she says pointing her index finger at me and I roll my eyes. Who said that I wanted to go?

"Oh no, it's morning already? "

"Yeah, how are you feeling? "

"Terrible " I say honestly.

"Oh and why's that?" She asks looking concerned.

"My body hurts all over, can i at least get some painkillers? " I ask hoping to cause some kind of problem.

"Oh" she inquires looking quite confused,"you feel pain?"

Oh my gosh!, shit forgot i can't respond to stimulus. "Geez, Debbie I just got busted " I tell her holding on a laugh.

"I thought you'll be happy to go home" it's not my home, let's justrefer to it as somewhere I lodge for free.

"Well you thought wrong, home is somewhere you find solace and not pain"

"Oh" she frowns, "Okay now let's get you ready" she beamed changing the subject.

"Whatever " I say rolling my eyes.

She helps me get into a wheelchair and pushes me out of the room and to hospital front desk and i watch on as she signs some documents. When she is done she arranges them neatly on the desk and continues pushing me to the car. I sigh loudly when I see Martina open the door of the car and Debbie calls the valet to help me get into the car. She folds the wheelchair and puts it in the booth.

"Bye, young man, hope you get well soon" Debbie says with a wink. I give her a nod in return and turn to look ahead of the road. Gosh! I am going to miss that smile of hers.

*********

I wake up when I hear some shuffling outside my window, I check the time on the wall clock and it's ten minutes to five. Damn my alarm will blare in ten minutes. I get up from bed and look out the window but then I don't see anyone. It's been fifteen weeks since i left the hospital and 3 weeks since I started to walk again. I made sure I put in extra effort at physiotherapy so I could walk again. Surprisingly, Martina didn't hurt me as i thought she would but then one thing I was sure of is that she hasn't changed. She's still evil.

I open the door to my room and walk out towards the kitchen for some water. What I see doesn't surprise me at all, I see Martina near the back door making out passionately with a man, I can't see his face because his back was facing me but I guess they are about the same age. Fuck! This woman has no shame at all. They don't even notice that I am here watching how disgusting they are.

I flick the light in the kitchen on grabbing their attention. They both turn to look at me. The man looks familiar, like I have seen him somewhere before, but where exactly? I can't place a known  identity on him.

"Xana honey" she says breathlessly. I just smirk seeing her in this state.

"When do you plan on introducing him to me?" I say giving her a fake smile.
