Just your common love story

Chapter 7

Elizabeth's POV

I wake up and I'm in the hospital. I don't remember anything except me blacking out. I wonder who brought me here? Was it Josh? Did he wake up.

OH MY GOSH, where is he? I have to see him. My heart monitor is going off like crazy the nurses run in to make sure I'm okay.

Now that I'm awake, the check my blood pressure. It was fine.

They asked me why my heart was beating so fast. This is what I told them.

"Last night I was on the perfect date with the perfect guy. Then he started going back to the truck to get something. Like 30 minutes had passed by and I thought he left me. I went to go see where he was. I found his truck, but I couldn't find him. I went to his truck and found a flashlight. I picked it up and started searching for him. When I was about to call the police I tripped over a stick and landed on him. Then I was being bit by these weird bugs. And thats all I remember."

"Nurse, where is my friend? Where is he?" I ask.

"Where is who?" She asks looking confused.

"My friend, Josh Wade. He was at the scene with me." I say.

"Sweetheart, you are the only patient we have had all night. No one else came here." She says.

My heart just breaks.

There is no sign of him anywhere.

He hasn't been seen since last night.

Where is he? Is he okay?

Nothing bad could've happened to him.

He's a Capricorn, he would have fought.

Right?

No, this is all my fault. If only I wasn't so clumsy. If only I wasn't unlucky. If only I would have called the police sooner. This is all my fault.

"Did you hit your head last night?" She asks.

"Well yeah, but it was nothing serious." I say. "Why what happened?"

"That pain you felt in your side wasn't from bugs." The nurse says.

"What do you mean? You have to be more clear." I say.

"Someone stabbed you repeatedly. That's why you blacked out. You lost a lot of blood. It took us almost 2 hours to stop the bleeding. We found you at about 7:30 this morning. Someone called the police and said there was a little girl who had been stabbed repeatedly. They brought you in

They saved you. You're a very lucky girl Mrs. King." She says.

King.

King.

King.

Then it hits me. Where are my parents?

"Has anyone called my parents?" I ask.

"No, who are they?" She says.

"Joe and Lacy King." I say. "Where am I?"

"You're in Maine." She says.

"MAINE! Why am I in Maine. Im supposed to be i Colorado. How the heck did I get here? Who brought me here? Where is Josh." I scream and cry.

"We don't know. They wouldn't tell us their name. And there is no one in this hospital named Josh." She says.

"Call my parents! Now." I yell.

"Okay, I'm on it." She says looking scared.

I hand her a piece of paper and she goes and calls them.

I need to get some rest. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

~Nightmare~

{This is about last nights on the date. It didn't really happen.}

Josh and I are walking to where we have decided to lay. He lays down the blanket and we sit down. He lays down and I put my head on his chest. We lay there in silence forever. I fall asleep. And when I wake up I'm covered in a paint like substance, when I get a closer look its blood. Its Josh's blood. I look at him and his stomach is split open. I start screaming.

I get up and start backing away. Then I numb into something. I can't make out the face but he's covered in blood and has a huge knife in their hands. They start chasing me. When I turn back, there's more than one of them. There's three. I run as fast as I can. I look back to see if I'm still being chased. When I look forward again, I run right into them. Something stabs me in my sternum. I can't scream for help, I can't breathe, and I feel like I'm going to throw up my organs. But I'm not dying. I'm just sitting there in pain. They sit me up and force me to watch them tear Josh apart. Piece by piece. I'm screaming. Begging them to stop. The won't. They are ignoring me. And me being so weak and pathetic I can't help him. My poor Josh is dead because I couldn't do anything to help him. They start walking towards me and grab my neck.

~End of Nightmare~

I wake up screaming.

"Josh, NO. I'm sorry this is all my fault. I will find you I promise. I love you." I cry.

The nurse comes in and asks if I'm okay, "Are you okay? I heard screaming." She says.

"Yes, I'm okay now. It was just a nightmare. Did you call my parents?" I ask.

"Yes, I did. I called them 4 hours ago." She says.

"Thank you" I say and she walks out.

If my parents left as soon as they got the call, then they should be here soon. I hope they come soon. I don't belong in a hospital.

I need to find my Joshie! I need him.

The nurses and my parents enter the room. They unhook me from all my medicines. My mom tells me I'm okay and promises we will find Josh.

My dad looks kind of angry. He looks as of he doesn't want to find Josh. But I need to find him. I need to know he's okay.

We get on the next plane home to Colorado. We immediately start asking people when the last time they saw Josh was.

Everyone said it was before our date.

My mom takes me home and tells me to rest. But I can't rest when I know my Joshie is out there somewhere hurt and injured.

She makes me lie down. On the bright side, I can think about all the people who would do this. Then one comes to mind.

Hannah. Hannah Ashlock. She's always hated me since first grade. What if she did this? Ugh, she will pay. I will get my revenge.

Thanks for reading.

I almost couldn't update tonight. I got home at 6:30 and had tons of homework, then I had to do dishes, Then shower. Luckily I wasn't tired afterward.

Well anyways, love you all.

Enjoy! (: :D
