Broken

Chapter 66

A few hours later my stomach was completely full and the doctor came in. 

"How are you feeling?" he asked. 

"I am okay," I nodded, "just tired." 

He nodded, "well with as quickly as your body has fixed itself if you want to leave tonight then you can. It is quite incredible how fast your body has healed." 

"I think I will go home," I nodded, "thank you."

He nodded and walked out. I looked at Austin. 

"We leave in the morning. It is almost 8 at night, we can just go home when you wake tomorrow morning okay princess?"

"Ugh," I moaned, "okay fine."

I closed my eyes and he played with my hair and kissed my forehead. 

"I love you princess," he said, "get some sleep okay?"

I nodded and kept my eyes closed. Soon I fell asleep to him playing with my hair.

I woke up and looked around the room to see someone standing next to him with a knife to his throat. I gasped and covered my mouth. 

"Yell and I slit it," the man said. 

I nodded and looked at Austin who was struggling to breath. 

"Let him go," I cried, "please." 

I sat up and yanked the cords out of me. The man chuckled and looked at Austin while pressing the knife harder onto his throat. 

"Stop," I said, "stop please. Please let him breath. Please!

"You are coming with me," he mumbled, "and that is final!"

"Okay," I nodded, "fine..but you have to put him down." 

I saw the man take the knife away from Austins throat and threw him to the ground. I covered my mouth and the man walked over to me. He grabbed my arm and I looked up at him. He grabbed my face and threw me back onto the bed.

"I'll be back," he said, "stay here." 

I nodded and just watched him walk out. I stood up and walked over to Austin. I picked up the side of his head in my hand and ran my fingers through his hair. 

"I'm sorry," I shook, "just hold on. I hope I stay okay. I love you, remember that." 

He looked up at me and shook his head, "I will come for you." 

"You won't have to," I shook. 

I pressed my lips against his forehead and looked at him.

"Why?" he asked. 

"You'll see," I said. 

I heard the door opened and the man walked back in. He looked at me and the anger rose in him. He walked and grabbed my hair and pulled me to my feet. 

"Help!" I screamed. 

He hit my face and I turned while hitting the floor. I grabbed my cheek and started to go to where Austin was. He stood up and charged at the man. 

"Don't you ever lay a hand on her!" he snapped, "ever! That is not okay with me!" 

I watched him lunge forward and then drop to the floor holding his stomach. I looked at the red that began to surround him.

"Someone help me!" I screamed, "help!"

A few nurses ran in with a police officer and the man was taken out in cuffs. They took Austin out immediately and wouldn't let me follow them. They began to make sure I was okay.
