| Chapter 7 Who knew sleep could come so fast after such an ordeal. Well, if the body is in pain, it likes to rest. Not that I�m complaining, it�s just weird. Maybe it was the drugs. My eyes are still closed and I turn myself on my and I open an eye. Shit. �Good morning, Ms. Potter. Sleep well?� Shit. He�s here and he�s waiting for me to open the other eye. His head is inches away from mine. Go away, damnit. I have this strange feeling that he�s not going to budge so I better answer so he just might go away. So, I answer, �Don�t you have other patients to attend to.� I yawn and begin to turn my self onto my back. I stretch myself while doing this. The stretch causes me to arch my back, making by breasts stick up. I know he staring at them. Pig. I can�t help it, I have to ask him, so I close my eyes, �What color are my eyes?� He knows that I know he�s been staring. �What?� Play dumb, oh yeah there�s a great idea. He repeats himself, �I�m sorry, what?� Bingo. I play along, �I said, don�t you have any other patients to bother?� �Well, see, I�m usually on the evening shift so I don�t get many patients. The only other patient I had, left this morning so, sorry to say, but you�re stuck with me.� He smirks as he said the last part. Ugh! I look over to the place where Jack was and the there was no one there. So I ask, �Where�s Jack?� �Jack went home to finish resting up and he�ll be back later.� He answered as he lent back in the chair. �Oh my God, Joey! What happened to you?� Said an over coffeed Jen as she ran into my room. �Alright who did this?� �Sorry, Jo, I tried to grab her before she came running in like a lunatic, but no such luck.� Another voice called. Drue. He continued, �So how are you?� I can help but to laugh at them. They�re so cute together. �I�m fine Drue, thanks for asking. And Jen, dear, let�s just say I had a run-in with and old friend.� I said with a bitterness to my voice. �He�s back?� They both say in unison. �I�ll kill him. The bastard.� shouted Drue. �When did he get back? This wasn�t supposed to happen.� Jen asked worriedly. �I don�t know, but Jen, I suggest you stay at Drue�s because I dropped my purse when he grabbed me. You, know, just to be on the safe side.� I told here what happened to me and she just nodded. �Yeah I�ll do that, Jo. I�ll stay with Drue.� she said sadly. She tried to perk herself up a bit. �I have good news though, I come bearing clothes and good food. I know how bad hospital food can be,� she whispered the last part. �Ahem.� Dr. Witter cleared his throat so as to be noticed. Just butt right in� �Oh, Jen, Drue, this is Dr. Witter. He�s my hero.� He laughed at the last part. He stood up and introduced himself, �Hi, I�m Dr. Pacey Witter.� He shook hands with both Jen and Drue. Jen turned to me and gave me a knowing look. There�s Jen for you. �Joey?� asked an uncertain voice. Bessie. She walked into the room and saw me. �Oh my God, what happened to you?� That seems to the reaction of the day so far. �Hey Bessie. I had a run-in with an old friend.� I said once again, with bitterness. �He�s back again isn�t he?� She plops herself down into the nearest chair. �Tell me what happened.� She said with concern. |
