Meeting My Abductor Again - Chapter 33

Before I can see who, it is everything turns black and I don’t try to fight it at all. I open my eyes to a room that I have never been in before. Then all the memories came flooding back. I was shot, then I heard my name. Now I’m here.

I get up and I feel sharp pain shooting up my shoulder. There is also a drip on my arm. I am in a hospital gown which meant I was at the hospital. I feel very dizzy, it probably was the morphine they were giving to me for the pain. I had been in a situation like this before. I balance myself as I get up. The room spins and I wait for it to pass. When it passes I commence on my journey.

I needed to use the bathroom as I get out of bed. I pull the drip with it as I go open the bathroom door. I switch on the light before I go in.

I go, and I sit gently on the toilet seat so that I don’t hurt my arm or loosen the drip. It felt great relieving myself. When I’m done, I flush the toilet and I go to the sink to wash my hands. I look up and a mirror meets my gaze. I must say I look like total shit. I look pale, gaunt and my eyes have no spark in them.

I go out the bathroom and I let out a yelp when I find Styles and Axel sitting in there. They all turn to me in unison and they stand up. They both look concerned and they both have guilt etched on their faces. What the hell where they both here for and at the same damn time. Thank goodness they can’t hear my thoughts.

I grip my drip and wheel it with me back to the bed. Axel takes a step forward to come and help me “I’m fine. I can do it myself.” My throat feels very dry and my voice is coming out groggily. I slowly sit down, and I lift myself on the bed.

I look to see if there is water. Bingo as I find a glass and a jug of water next to my bed. I pour some and I drink it. Its soothing as it goes down my throat. When I’m done, I put it back on the mantle. I press my button for the nurse to come

Axel and Styles sit back down slowly. They are both looking at me quizzically. The door opens, and the nurse comes in.

“Are you okay mam?”

“No. May I please have something for the pain.”

“Okay. I will be back with it right away.”

She goes out. “Are you in pain?” as Styles asks in concern.

“Yes I am.”

The nurse comes back with a bottle and a syringe. “I’m going to inject you with more morphine.”

“Okay.” As I brace myself for the injection. I had always hated them but if it meant it would take away the pain then so be it. She injects it slowly trying to not hurt me as much as possible. “Done” as she bandages the part, she put the injection in.

“Is that all you need?”

“Yes, that’s all. Thank you”

“Pleasure. Call me if you need anything.” She eyes Axel and Styles weirdly as she goes out the room.

I feel the morphine kicking in. I start to feel myself go numb and dizzy at the same time. I was a lightweight and this is what I was hoping for. For the false courage to kick in.

I turn to address the two elephants in the room. “What am I supposed to do with the two of you?”

“I” they both answer at the same time. Axel scowls at Styles. He also returns the favour.

Axel carries on “I want to speak to you. Alone.”

“No way” as Styles interjects. “Do you forget that she is part of my team.”

Axel fires back “That’s cute. But don’t forget she is my wife.”

“You two are so loud so if you both don’t mind can you carry on your bickering outside its giving me a headache.” Before they can interrupt me, I carry on speaking “We can carry this on tomorrow. “As I yawn. I shoo them away.

They both look at me with disbelief in their eyes. Then they become a bit hesitant.

I close my eyes and I sink into a slumber.
