Is This My Life?(Completed)

Week 7~ Wednesday

        "-ey..." What's that? "Ha-" Seriously? Who's saying that? "-rley!" Why is it... So dark?

        "HARLEY!"

        I jolt awake, my eyes wide and heart pounding rapidly in my chest. Directly over my face is Hunter's, wearing a worried expression, "Oh thank god!" He shouts, relief obvious in his voice.

        "What happened?" I ask nervously. The dream I'd had... God I hope it wasn't real... I don't know what I'd do if-

        My thoughts are stopped in their tracks as Hunter leans down and pulls me close against him. "I'm so sorry, Harley.... I swear I didn't know.. If I did, I would've never left you alone with him!" So, it wasn't just a dream... I swallow hard, my arms shaking horribly as I reach up and wrap them around him. "I'm sorry..." I whisper, my voice cracking. "I'm so, so sorry..."

         I then feel another pair of arms go around me, and the two people slowly lift me up into a sitting position. I then feel one head rested against either shoulder, and Amanda's voice filters into my ears.

        "No... Don't a-apologize, Harley... None of this i-is your fault..."

        I shake my head, tears beginning to fall down my face in streams. "I'm sorry..." Instead of opposing my words any farther, they both simply tighten their arms. And for what feels like hours, I just sit there. My weight being held by two of the people who mean the most in my life.

        Once they pull back to look at me properly, my eyes begin darting around in search of Kimberly.

        "Where... Is Kimberly..?" The two siblings exchange a look before Amanda heads to the door and Hunter looks to me. "Harley, Mom, she... She's out in the hall with some police officers. At first she was going to wait until you were out of the hospital so we could take you into the actual station, but this needs to be done... Dad's with Jamie, Harley... There's no telling what he'd to do her."

        Despite the panic I feel coursing through my whole body, I simply nod, "Right..." Honestly, I'd never thought of that... How could it make sense if I'm the only one he does this to? He can't be with me 24/7, so...

        I feel are once more burning at my eyes as I imagine little Jamie going through the horror I have... It's terrifying to even think about!

        So, I shake my head to clear out those thoughts before turning to the door, along with Hunter,to see Amanda poking her head back in with a questioning gaze to him, and a saddened one to me. "Uh.. Mom wants to know if it's alright to come in now, with the officers?"

         I take in a shaky deep breath and nod, "Yeah... They can come in." Amanda nods and once more she disappears behind the door, soon replaced by Kimberly giving me an encouraging look and three police officers coming in after- all women, a pleasant surprise... I wasn't sure I'd actually be able to talk to any men at this point. Aside from Hunter, of course.

        "Hello, Miss. Jenson. My name is Detective Hannaly," The woman who spoke had shoulder-length red hair, the sort that came from a box. I could tell, because her eyebrows were a dirty blonde color, and from the short roots exposed from the tight pony tail held behind her head. I also notice the little parentheses shaped wrinkles at the sides of her mouth with she gives me a soft, comforting smile.
