Double Fantasy

When life couldn't get any worse

"It was a perforating wound, which means the bullet shot right through you but it caused a bit of complications and you died for a bit but we were able to stop the bleeding fast enough. You had a severe concussion, split gum and genital trauma. I still need to run sum tests on you before we think you can go ok?" The doctor said. I nodded before he left. Monique gave me the biggest hug and started crying on my shoulder. "Oh Jill...who could of done this to you!?" Ariel said sniffling. Kelly gave the twins a bad eye. "Can we have a moment please?" She said to the twins. They nodded and left the room. When they left, Kelly closed the door. "Jill you need to listen to me...and listen to me really good. You need to stay the hell away from these twins. Being in here reminds me so much of Camilla," she said gripping my hand tighter. "Sheniquas dead Jill...That could of been you! You have to stay away from them," she expressed with tears in her eyes. "Girl it's for your own safety. Anyone that's around them long enough always dies or some shit happened and they end up here," Monique said. "Hold up! Wait a fucking minute! The twins did this to you!?" Ariel asked ready to beat someone up. I shook my head. "No...no" I tried saying but my voice was hoarse. "They tried to protect me. Why you think I randomly went on a vacation? I was at a wrong place wrong time, saw some stuff I shouldn't have. They tried to keep me away in a cabin across a lake but..." I sighed. "I'm not saying what I been through should be tolerated. I'll keep them at a distance...I just..." I sighed in frustration. I felt like something was on my neck. When I touched it, it was the same diamond cross necklace Erik wanted to give me. "Strange enough, I love them both" I confessed. The air felt heavy. They all sighed. "Jill for your life sake! You're a beautiful woman. You can have ANY guy in the world...ANY..." Ariel said.

"Please don't be like Camilla. I don't know what these guys have over women but it isn't healthy...you need to learn from this. We will be here for you for support and guidance," Monique said rubbing my hair. I nodded. "Thank you for being the best friends any girl would be fortunate to have, but I need to do a lot of healing. I'm still a bit traumatized from all that happened to me" I said reflecting back on it. I started to cry about it. They all gave me hugs and comforted me.

Later that day, I laid on the bed alone, reflecting; thinking about my next move. I needed to get back to work, a distraction from all of this. The nurse came in to check the machines and gave me some medicine. There was a knock on the door. When I looked, it was Michael. I sighed, happy that he was here but my plan to stay away was clearly not going to work in here. "Hey beautiful, how you doing?" He asked grabbing the chair closer to my bed and resting the flowers by the stand. "I'm ok I guess." He smiled and grabbed my hand. "That's great...I uh...I'm really sorry this happened to you. I was here everyday praying and hoping you would wake up sooner" he said bowing his head. I took my hand out of his grip and touched the side of his face. There were tears in his eyes. "I should have never left you alone...none of this wouldn't of happened" he wiped his eyes, still sniffling. "I feel like I failed you" he said. I sighed. "Please don't blame yourself ok...I really don't want to talk about this. So what have you been up to. Any new movies or shows you plan on doing?" I asked trying to change the subject. He shrugged. "Babe to be honest...I don't know. I think I wanna take a break so I can take care of you." I tried to sit up a bit. "Michael...I won't allow it.  I can take care of myself." He shook his head. "Jill you won't be able to walk so soon." My eyes widened. "What the fuck that suppose to mean?" I asked confused. "Your body needs time to heel and your brain tends to forget on how to do things after such a long while of sleeping." I rolled my eyes. "Well Kelly will figure it out." Michael seemed disappointed. "I understand" he said sitting back in the chair. "What happened to Anthony?" I asked. "He ain't dead yet...probably wished he was. Erik got him in an unknown location chain up and tortured." He said scrolling through his phone like it was normal. I sighed knowing that I had to listen to the advice my friends gave me because this isn't normal. "I need to stay away from the both of you" I said remembering pieces of what happened that night. "What?" He said sitting up. "You heard me...please...just leave me alone...I can't do this anymore" I said as those haunting thoughts of being tortured and raped came back. It felt like I was reliving it all over again. "Baby what's going on? " He asked getting up. "JUST GET OUT!!!" I yelled as tears and snot ran down on my face. He was so confused until the nurses came in and asked him to leave. I couldn't stop crying. I still remembered the smell. I looked at my fingernails and there were little stubbles of growth, but remembering the pain made me cry even more. I didn't want to sleep because I feared I would dream about it. I tried sitting up for a bit. My body felt stiff. Maybe Michael was right about needing help. I tried getting my legs off the bed. My body was weak. I saw a box wrapped in gift paper next to the flowers. I unwrapped it to reveal a brand new iPhone. There was a sticky note on it saying 'I promised I'd get you one' quickly remembering when Erik threw my phone in the fire. I had time on my hands so I set it up. Dinner came in around 6:45pm. I sat on the bed as I ate this nasty hospital food while watching Maury on the tv. The doctor came by. "Hey Jill, how are you feeling. Everything good?" He asked. I shook my head. "I can't walk too good." He nodded. "That is very normal. You were sleeping for some time so the body...it tends to forget...but through therapy, you'll get by. Now anything else? Any headaches...pain?" He asked. I shook my head and smiled, then he left. My phone started blowing up with messages. More work related. Went on Instagram and saw Erik posted a video on his status.
