Morosis

~ 3 ~

                                                                                             -Jenny-

My eyes flutter open. My eyes are blinded by the florescent lighting overhead. Panic starts to creep up on my brain. I slowly sit up a slight ache runs through my body. Looking down I see i'm in a hospital gown. 

Fuck this shit I'm out!

Rising from the bed slowly my body ache turns slowly into a dull pain that stretches through my body. With count of 3 I tear out my IV with a grunt. I also tear off the hospital bracelet. 

Getting to my feet I examine my room. The neutral walls devoid of color or life. 

I can't be here

Tucked in the farthest corner of the room is my clothes haphazardly tossed under on the floor. 

Snatching up my clothes I shed the hospital gown and tug on my clothes hastily. 

When I'm decent I dig into my pocket for my phone. 

Pulling it out I push the power button but nothing happens. 

Stupid Old Phone!  I Want to scream 

I need to sket like now

Making my way to the door I peek past the doorway. 

Nothing in these dark dead hallways I concluded before I shove my phone back into my pocket. 

I walk down the dark hallways trying to find a way out of this prison. 

That fucker is going to get a piece of my mind if he ever shows his face. He probably isn't worried at all having his workers watch over his liability. 

Turning the corner I see a nurse quickly I pull up my sweatshirt hood covering my face and yank out my phone pressing it to my ear pretending I am having a conversation. 

After passing the nurse I put the phone in my pocket and pull the hood down. 

At the end of the narrow hallway I spot the elevator. Looking around I see no one and sprint down the hall and into the elevator. 

I push the 1 floor button and watch the mechanical teeth close. 

My tongue has a light tingle I can almost taste the freedom. 

With a slight jolt of the elevator I have reached my destination. 

The doors open and I am facing a wall stepping out I make my way down the hallway I see an exit. 

Yes! 

Bolting out I start down the street. 

My ribs are starting to hurt again but I push forward. Where am I now? 

Out of the corner of my peripheral I see a shadow. 

Looking that way I see a limo pull up beside me on the road.

WTF!  

Ignoring the expensive car I walk down the street away from it. "Hey! You!" I hear being shouted behind me.

I continue my path down the sidewalk not giving the voice a reaction. 

When I start to hear someone running towards me I break into a sprint my torso feels like it's being ripped to shreds but i'm not going to get kidnapped today. My breathing is labored but I push my feet forward I can hear the person still ensuing me.

My lungs burn my heart is racing at a unimaginable rate. 

I can't go on anymore 

Finally I slow down my body feels like i'm going to pass out. 

I lean against a nearby tree hands on my knees. Trying to catch my breath.

Building up courage I then look up. 

There isn't anyone in sight no limo, nor is there any possible kidnappers. 

A sigh of relief I sit on the dirt ground.

Pushing myself inside my front door my leg's ache. I turn into my living room collapsing onto the  yellow loveseat. I close my eyes letting myself relax. 

It's been a day.  Suddenly I feel a tight embrace around my torso I hiss and shove them off my eyes burst open and I see Mordecai looking on the verge of tears. 

How long was I gone? 

What Am I suppose to say?  

Mordecai gingerly pushes his decretive glasses up to the bridge of his nose. Standing in front of me his eyes examine me he then sits on the opposite couch beside mine. 

His cardigan sleeve cover his hands and he uses his sleeve to wipe away the tears. 

"I was worried sick" he finally let out painfully "Don't ever do that to me again" 

"I can explain" I say guilt washing over me

I hate causing pain. 

He gives me an expectant look his shoulders slumped over waiting to listen. With a deep breath I tell him everything. 

Starting with the fight he nods with a small smile as I tell him about jumping in front of the guys. I pause curiouslity taking over me "What's got you smiley?" 

"It just sounds  like you" Mordecai replies before his eyes brighten 

A soft ping echos and he jumps up excitedly rushing towards the kitchen me slowly following suit. 

Mordecai digs into the drawer pulling out oven mittens placing them on his boney fingers. He opens the oven completely grabbing out a giant tray of smiley fries placing them on the oven.

A smile takes over my face. Mordecai sees my smile turning his focus to me "What's got you so smiley?" he asks cheekily. 

I grab a fry and drop it waving my hand in pain trying to blow on it like it's hot soup. 

"Food" I reply sleepily holding my wrist. 

Mordecai bursts out laughing and I give him a look he tries to play it off as dramatic coughing. 

"You just saw me take it the food out" Mordecai says putting the oven mittens back in the drawer. 

"I thought my control manipulation would cool it down in a short amount of time" I retort unable to keep a serious face Mordecai again bursts into laughter. 

"You dork" he says playfully 

"Takes one to know one" I retort going back to the couch. 

Mordecai follows hoping onto the couch "You need to finish explaining" he says suddenly serious. 

I finish explaining about the punch and the library showdown to arising in the hospital. 

And finishing with my near kidnap experience. 

Silence falls over us Mordecai's mouth is agape as he tries to process everything. 

"You defiantly deserve smiley fries" he concludes with a smile and a certain awe in his eyes.
