Drifting between consciousness and sleep, it's Grey's scent which stops the fear from taking over.
Maybe, I should be more scared because when I try to talk it's hard to form sentences and when I finally manage to construct one, none of Grey's responses make sense.
My heavy eyelids flicker open as Grey dresses me. I'm laying on the mattress trying to help him pull the top over my head but my limbs are struggling. My thoughts are broken and messy. I know something is wrong but what is it?
Grey manages to get the top on and I'm overcome with the aroma of freshly cleaned clothes, reminding me of my mum. My insides crumple and my eyes prick with tears which I don't have the energy to hide.
"Why am I getting dressed?" I manage to say after several attempts.
"I'm getting you to a doctor. Charlie and Jas have organised for you to see someone who can help you."
I laugh or I think I do.
"Jas shot me, he wants me dead." I slur out the words before falling back into the realm of grey, hovering between light and dark, neither awake nor asleep.
