A Country Girl.

Chapter 24

Hailey

I didn't get very much sleep last night because of the nightmare. I stayed up most of the night but I did end up falling asleep again. When I woke up it was almost 10, so I got out of bed and changed then went down stairs for some food. 

When I got down stairs Amy was just cleaning up from breakfast. "oh hey sis you ready to eat?" she asked when I walked into the kitchen. "sure what is it?" I asked drowsily "eggs, bacon, and potatoes" "mmmmm sounds good" I said sitting at the table. Amy filled my plate and handed it to me. "thanks" I said picking up a fork full of eggs and shoving into my mouth. I was still very skinny from the lack of food when I was held captive and I'm still suffering the affects of malnutrition, but you couldn't really tell unless you knew me very well.

After I finished eating I went to the living room to read. I don't like reading, I prefer to be outside getting dirty, but I don't mind it. I grabbed a book off the shelf and began reading. I read a couple chapters before I got bored and decided to do something else. I stood up and stretched as best I could with a sling and stitches. I then set the book back on the shelf and walked back into the kitchen. When I walked in the kitchen was clean and Amy was no where to be found. 'she must be in the office, I shouldn't bother her' I thought. Papa had left to get my pain meds and other things that we needed here so I really had no one to talk to. 

I didn't know what to do and I was getting kinda uncomfortable and nervous. I didn't know why but I didn't like it. It was too quiet. My breathing began to speed up. I didn't know what was happening, I just knew that I was not ok. I sat down at the table to try to calm my nerves. It didn't work. I tried to think of way I can calm down but I couldn't think. My breathing speed up even more. It was becoming hard to breathe easy and the room began to spin. 

I fell to the floor. I heard a door open and foot steps running down the hall. I saw Amy enter the kitchen before I black out.

I woke up later in my bed. I sat up and looked around my room. I was alone but the door was open. I heard foot steps coming toward my room and Amy walked in. "Hailey!" she said and ran to my bed side. Her face was full of worry. "are you ok what happened?" she asked "I don't know what happened I was just in the kitchen when my brain began to cloud and my breathing raced then I sat down to calm down but it didn't work and I fell to the flood all dizzy, but I'm fine I think" I said pulling the cover off my legs."shit" she mumbled I swung my legs over the edge of my bed and went to stand but Amy wouldn't move "uh Amy? can you move so I can go back down stairs?" I asked some what worried myself. Amy jumped at the sound of my voice "oh yeah sorry" she said standing up and walking out still mumbling to herself. I watched her leave some what worried but I didn't dwell on it. 

I went down stairs and turned on the TV. ' maybe this will help distract me' I thought. I flipped through the channels finding nothing I liked I just picked a random channel. As the show played I spaced out. My thoughts brought me to a question I didn't know I wanted to ask 'how did Amy get me to my room?'
