Did it hurt?

Part 3

She felt like she got hit by a bus, racking her brain to what happened to her, she tries to open her sees and only catches a glimpse of her mum.

"Mum!!Mum!!Mum!!" She screams but to no avail, her mum can't hear her as the paramedics push her in the hospital bed.

"That's my baby, let me see my baby, where are they taking my baby John,John!!" Her mum screams from the other part of the wall trying to get past the door to reach her.

"It's going to be fine, just relax, Maygrace," one of the doctors tell her as she finally sees the door to a room open before she closes her eyes to rest.

"Okay but where's everyone, mum, dad, Eva," she says squinting to see an empty hallway, "Mum!! Eva!!Dad!!!" She screams as a figure takes form in front of her, "Milton,Milton is that you?"

"Shhhhh now Milly," it says to her as it stretches its hand to touch her, she couldn't move nor run, it laid it's hand on hers holding it tightly, "now, Milly Sleep," it was like electricity ran up her bones, she screamed frantically and all around her began to liquify into black tar and so did the figure, she screamed and screamed....

"Help!!" She yelled, bolting right up on her bed with her mum sitting on her bedside.

"Mum!! Mum," she gripped her mum tight as a tear ran down her face.

"Hey baby, I'm right here it's okay, it's okay," her mum said gently caressing her hair back, "mummy's got you baby," the statement that brought back so many memories that it made her head hurt to even think of one.

"How long have I been in the hospital ?" Milly asks her mum, staring while grasping her surroundings.

"Just a couple of days, you had a little concussion but you're better now, we can go home tomorrow," she said before leaving to call John, her husband.

Milly turned to sit up before putting her feet down on the cold floor, she put her hand on the rod, as she clasped the rod by her bedside she shifted her weight to her feet then lifted herself up, she didn't feel like staying on that bed anymore because her dream or thought she dreamt still haunted her.

"Hey sweetheart," her dad said to her, carrying her into a hug, she yelled in pain and excitement.

"Hey dad also owwww," she said as he dropped her to the ground smiling and leaving her with thousands of kisses. "You're never ever entering another car if it's not with me or your mother, you got that, " he said in between kisses, she gave him a nod smiling.

"Hey Milly," Milly couldn't contain her excitement, she remembered the last time she saw him before he left, she tried to run up to him but couldn't so she just paced faster, "You stupid dork, how dare you make me miss you," she told him as he swooped her into a hug, she couldn't believe she was seeing Melton he had grown taller , grown a beard , she dare say he didn't look like the sickly looking boy he was three years ago even FaceTime doesn't show everything.

"The moment I come home, you get into an accident, you could've left a little drama for me," he says pushing her hand off his body, "you're now into tattoos ,Milly, damn you've changed a lot," he said holding up her hand staring at the x shaped design at the top right part of her palm, giving her a half smile.

"I didn't do that to myself, Melton," she said startled trying to wipe off the design which wasn't even clearing up.

"What?"Melton asks.

"I'm saying Melton I didn't write that on my hand, Melton why would I put an x on my hand," she replies frantically still trying to get off the shape on her hand.

"You know teenagers, who knows with you all lately,"he says slumping down his shoulders.

"Melton you're 19 your birthday isn't until a week and some days like mine, you're still a teenager," she says still looking at her hand trying to process what was going on.

"You're lucky you get to celebrate yours this year," he says trying to stifle a laugh.

"Melton something is wrong? Melton I can feel it, I think we need to leave this hospital now," she says turning to her mum and dad, "Mum can I please go home now?"

"But the doctor said, wait baby what's that on your hand ?" Her dad says walking up towards her with his wife as they glance at her palm and then at each other with a knowing look.

"How long as this been on your hand, Milly, why didn't you show us, are you crazy? We have to leave now," her mum says as they start packing up and zooming off to the reception to sign the release form.

"I just saw it a few hours ago, can you please explain to me what's going on? Mum!! Dad!!" She tells them as the stare at each other getting out of the car and pulling them into the house, they refused to talk throughout the ride from the hospital.

"Baby, you're going to have to trust us, you have to be normal.."

"Well, aren't I normal, Mum?" She asks her parents as they look away and then at each other.

"Milly, you're going to have to trust us, we'd explain it all to you but for now tell no one and you're going back to school tomorrow so go get ready, we'd c...." they said as the door bell rang, they both frantically turned pushing Milly.

"Go to your room, Now!!!!" They whisper yelled, "you too Melton, take her," They began approaching the door knob as Melton pulled Milly up the stairs.
