Chapter Three

I tried to open my eyes but the light was too much to handle. I felt my body ache...My arms, my legs, not to mention my abdomen. It felt like a hundred needles were piercing my entire body.

I tried harder and harder and I eventually managed to move my eyelids, the light was too bright but I opened them. I had to...

I looked around. I was definitely not in my bedroom...The place around me looked like a hospital. The walls, as well as the floor, are white. There are curtains in a light shade of blue covering the window. A chair is beside me but there's no one there... I look at my body and my hands are full of cables connected with all kinds of machinery. On the screens, there are strange numbers and measurements and a steady beeping fills the room.

Even though my body is so tired and heavy I have to get up and get the hell out of here... During the last year, I had developed a fear of hospitals... Not the best experiences... Not after what happened...

"Miss!" said the nurse. The truth is that I didn't hear her the first time she called for me. I hadn't eaten for days and I barely slept... I was so stressed these days I couldn't bring myself to sleep, to eat and I wouldn't do anything but sit in this uncomfortable chair waiting...

"Miss, the doctor is ready to see you now.." the nurse's voice brought me out of my thoughts. I stood up and followed her in silence.

"Hello, Evie.." said the doctor in a smooth voice. I couldn't say anything so I just nodded my head for him to continue and sat down in one of the black leather chairs in front of his office.

"Unfortunately the news is not so good for you...  Leon is, what I mean to say is that he-he didn't make it.." he said and I felt my eyes water immediately. The next thing I knew everything was black and I could hear voices shouting, but none of these matters since he was dead, my Leon was ... dead.

I woke up and I found myself sitting on a bed in a hospital room. I looked around and I spotted my mother sitting in the chair next to me. She looked up and tears were in her eyes.

"Oh my Evie..." she said in a sad voice and brought me in a bone-crushing hug.

"Mom? What happened?" I asked when I managed to get out of her arms.

"It's best if the doctor tells you, dear..." she said and left the room to get a nurse.

Dr. Collins, the doctor who looks after Leon, came in and looked sad.

"Evie, are you feeling better?" he started but I had a feeling he came bearing more bad news.  I nodded.

"Well then, I am sorry to be the one who brings you bad news yet again, but I am afraid to inform you that you had a miscarriage. You'll have to," he continued talking, but I couldn't hear any further. I had lost a child... A child I wasn't even aware I had. I lost the last thing that connected me with Leon...

My eyes watered even at the thought of that day...It was probably the worst day f my entire life...The man I loved and our baby had passed away... And there was nothing I could do; they both slipped through my fingers and left.

I quickly wiped my cheeks and moved the blanket on top of me. I was going to get out of here no matter what...

No one and nothing is going to stop me from getting out of this cursed place.

I made the first step successfully and sure of myself moved forward confidently. Little did I know though, because at the next step I made I fell on the ground taking down with me most of the machinery, something that made a lot and I mean a lot of noise.

Most of the mechanisms in the room started beeping, quite loudly if I say so myself, and I started getting dizzy. The room started spinning. The noise was getting too much. I felt my eyelids close, but then the door opened, and inside walked a man I had never seen before but for a reason, he looked so familiar. He looked at me with wide eyes and came quickly beside me to help me get up. My head was still in so much pain.

Then Lora walked in and another guy, pretty muscular and handsome, walked in behind her...

"Omg, are you okay? What are you doing out of bed?" she said the moment she laid eyes on me and ran towards me to hug me... I couldn't hold back my tears... I needed my best friend at that moment. I was scared and I really didn't like being in a hospital. Not to mention that there were so many people in the room.

I mean who were these people. They do remind me of someone but I just can't put my finger on who they are...

That's when I realized that I don't remember how I got there. What happened? 

Lora's words brought me back "Shhhh, relax...everything is going to be fine.." she whispered and hugged me tighter while she rocked our bodies slightly.

"Get me out of here...please...I can't be here..."I whispered slowly enough so as not to be heard by the other two.

"Is everything alright? Do you have a problem with your bed or with the room?" the first one said and his tone showed worry. 

Worry that you would express for a person close to you. But I don't know him, not enough.

"No, everything is okay...I just...I want to get as far away from this hospital as possible..." I said in a low voice not facing him in the eyes. He just nodded and moved closer to the bed and sat on the other end of it. I pulled my legs away from him and started panicking. I pulled away from Lora and looked into her eyes. She knew the real reason why I didn't want to be in here and I was counting on her to get me out of here.

I knew that she would be the only person that would tell me the truth no matter what.

"Where am I? Why am I here? What happened? And most importantly who are these people?" I shouted and my eyes started to fill with tears. I am a complete and utter perfectionist and right now my life is so out of control it's frustrating.

I looked up and all of them stared at me as if I was some sort of an alien.

"You-you don't remember what happened, or who he is?" Lora asked pointing at the man on the bed, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. I just nodded in a negative way.

"Someone call the doctor. NOW!" Lora shouted. She was fully crying right now.

The men were in complete shock as well. They were giving each other looks, communicating through only their eyes. They were staring at me from time to time, but no one would tell what is going on.

What the fuck is going on?
