Slowly Dying

Chapter 48

Nicole's POV

I awoke to hearing a steady beeping noise. I was surrounded by four walls. It then dawned to me that I was in hospital. I've been rescued. I sat up which was extremely painful and looked outside to see my parents sitting outside with Stacey. I hoped to see Adam there but he wasn't with them.

I lay back down feeling relieved. I was saved. I'm not trapped. I was in one of those hospital dresses and my arms were exposed. The scars that were a result of my self harming were covered in bandage. At least Mum and Dad won't have to see that.

Minutes later, my parents came through the door. Stacey came and kissed me. Mum came hugging me tight which made me gasp in pain.

"I'm sorry," she said, stroking my hair.

"I missed you so much," I said to everyone, before I broke down in tears. Dad hugged me.

"Well you're here now, darling," he said.

"You've gotten so thin," Mum said, with tears in her eyes.

"I'm okay, Mum, really," I said to her.

The doctor came through the door and he greeted me.

"Hi Nicole, I'm Dr. Porter, I've been assessing you and you're blood pressure is back to normal. We've also injected some vitamins and nutrients into you because you were seriously malnourished, the nurse will come in a bit to give your breakfast, I'd advise to take everything slow because your ribs were broken but they seem to be healing now, if you need anything or if anything goes wrong press this and I'll come straight away," he said, giving me a small white remote with one red button.

"Thank you," I said to him.

"No problem," he said.

"Oh and if anything goes wrong with Nicole and she's unable to press the button press that red button on the wall," he said to Mum and Dad.

"Thanks doctor," Dad said.

The doctor left the room and the nurse came in with a tray of food. It consists of two toasts and a glass of water. I sat up slowly as she placed the tray on my lap. I ate the toast quickly. I was starving. It tasted delicious. It was covered in butter and I drank the water down. I drank it so quick that I had a coughing fit.

"Take it slow," the nurse said, patting my back.

She took the empty tray and left the room. I lay back down on the bed. I was still a bit hungry but shook it off. A few minutes later, a guy in a suit came in. He had a notebook in his hand and two police officers awaited outside the room.

"Hello Nicole, I'm Inspector Walker, I've been in charge of your case," he said,

"Hi," I replied.

"Are you okay for me to take a statement of you?" He asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"So, could you just describe the night when you were kidnapped?" He asked.

"Well I was walking home from school-" I started saying before he cut me off.

"Your parents told me you said that you went to your friend, Selena Lopez, house." He said.

"I lied," I said, meekly, not making eye contact with my parents who were still here.

"Anyways, I sensed that someone was following me and I saw a man that was behind me so I started walking faster. I was really scared so I pulled out my phone and rang Adam but then he grabbed me from behind and injected me, I woke up and I was tied to a chair and I was blindfolded," I said, the tears blurred my eyes.

"Do you want me to come back later?" he asked, noticing that I was upset.

"No I'm fine, anyways, then he came in the room and he started touching me and I didn't like it so I moved back and then he beat me up, he was drunk, I could smell it off his breath, he came in the next day and apologised, he let me go toilet and gave me water. But then he beat me up again because I answered him back and he tied me up to the chair and I never saw him again after that, I heard a gunshot noise, I think it was a day after," I explained to him.

"Your kidnapper, Ryan Harding, was shot," he stated.

"Do you know who by?" I asked.

"That's what I'm trying to work out. Does his name ring any bells?" He asked.

I shook my head. It must have been Chloe that shot him. Chloe owed him £10,000 and maybe she couldn't give it him so she shot him. She is crazy enough to do that.

"Do you know any information on why your kidnapper took you because it doesn't add up that he'd apologise to you?" He asked.

"Yes I do actually, it was Chloe, it was all Chloe, she set it all up," I said.

"Chloe Van Martinèz?" He asked. I nodded.

"Are you sure? She came all the way back from Spain to look for you and where's the evidence for that?" He said.

"He told me that it was her," I said.

The inspector did not look convinced at all.

"I'll leave you to rest, I'll be back," he said, before leaving.

"Nicole, Chloe's has been the best person ever these past few days, she's helped me look for you, why would she have set it up? Thats crazy," Stacey said.

"Stacey's right, she's been fantastic," Mum said.

I was completely shocked. Chloe's won them all over.

"You don't believe me, do you?" I said to them all.

There was a big pause.

"You need to rest," Mum said.

They didn't believe me. I felt my heart speeding up and it was beating faster. My throat began to tighten and I couldn't breathe. I felt my whole body shaking and the beeping noise beeping faster. I saw the faces of everyone looking panicked but I couldn't concentrate on them. I couldn't breathe. My lungs felt like they were on fire. My body was shaking vigorously now. I saw loads of nurses pin me down and I felt something injected into my arm before I fell into an oblivion and everything became black.

She was feeling lonely and trapped. She thought that there was no way out. She believed there was no way out. Her own family doubted her due to her vile enemies. She could do nothing. Why? Because she was the girl that was slowly dying...
