Chapter 28

What is that horrible beeping?

God, I am so hot right now, Why is it so warm? I need to get out of this bed right now because I am sweating badly. 

I stretched my limbs, I felt like I had been asleep for ages. 

Slowly I opened my eyes, wincing at the brightness of the sun beaming through the window. Everything started to focus as I became more aware of my surroundings, seeing the heart monitor beside me and the IV line leading into my arm. 

What happened?

Feeling the sweat building up at the back of my neck I slowly lifted myself up, stopping as the dizziness hit. It was then that the door opened slowly and a nurse walked in, she didn't notice me for a minute but as she looked up from the board her eyes bulged out of their sockets, dropping the board to the floor. 

"Oh my god, you're awake!" She quickly ran out of the door leaving me staring after her. 

"Ermm okay?" I chuckled to myself, waiting for the fuzziness to fade so I could try and get up.  

"Luna, I am so glad to see you awake" I turned my head to see doctor Fields walking through the door with a beaming smile. I let the smile build on my lips as she walked closer to me pulling out her stethoscope and other pieces of equipment. 

"So... Jenny, what do you remember?" Her smile dropped, as I remained quiet. 

"I don't know, it is all pretty hazy at the moment. Why am I in the hospital?" I watched as doctor fields swallowed hard, looking down briefly avoiding my eye contact as I searched for eye contact. 

" What is the last thing that you remember?" Do I want to know what happened? Obviously, it wasn't good because she is avoiding telling me anything. 

"Ermm, I guess I remember taking my last exam" Her face dropped, I tried to stand up but she came over to rest a hand on my shoulder gently pushing me back down onto the bed. There was a slight tenseness in my stomach, a very dull pain. 

I ignored it as I stared up at her. Come on, what is going on? The silence was killing me. 

" Maybe we should wait for Jackson to get here?" I shook my head, I wanted to know now. 

" No! Why am I in the hospital?" The bed dipped as the doctor  sat down on the bed in front of me and readjusting her bun on top of her head. 

"I really hate to tell you this but you were kidnapped by Alec and his group." The rest faded out, how can I not remember this? I watched her mouth move but none of the words were making sense. That can't of happened. I was just finishing the exam, I was waiting for Jackson to get back. 

 "When? How long ago?" the fact that I didn't have any bruises on me was a dead give away that this didn't just happen yesterday. 

"You were taken nearly 2 months ago, Jackson found you after 3 weeks of being taken... you were in really bad shape, you'd been shot... we managed to remove the bullet and stop the bleeding but you lost a lot of blood, we honestly didn't have much hope that you would even survive. You've been in a coma since then Jenny." That was when my heart went crazy, the pit in my stomach formed a cavern. The room felt so small and I couldn't get any words out, that is when I remembered the very dull pain in my abdomen. 

I stretched up to pull the gown to the side to look at my skin. That is when the tears started to form as I laid eyes on the hundreds of new scars marking my skin, the largest was the round-shaped scar. My breathing started to quicken as doctor fields gently rubbed my upper arm in a way to comfort me. 

That was when the door burst open showing a panting Jackson with wild hair and eyes, when his eyes met mine I couldn't help the sobs erupting. He came bounding across the room as I opened up my arms, desperate for that hug that always makes me feel safe. He practically threw me backwards at the speed he went in for the hug, digging his nose right into my neck before I could also hear his shuddering breaths as he sobbed. We probably looked an absolute mess but the warmth of the hug and the touch of his skin on mine was exactly what I needed. I could hear the soft click of the door shutting as I presumed doctor fields left the room.
